Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025

(in millions, except share and per share data)

(1) Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The information furnished reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, were necessary for a fair statement of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods presented. Such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Expected Credit Losses

We have an allowance for expected credit losses recorded as an estimate of the accounts receivable that may not be collected. This allowance is calculated on an entity-by-entity basis with consideration of historical write-off experience, age of receivables, market conditions, and a specific review for expected credit losses. Items that affect this balance mainly include provision for credit losses and the write-off of accounts receivable balances.

A rollforward of our allowance for expected credit losses is shown below:


	Six Months Ended June 30, 2026
Balance, December 31, 2025	$	74.1
Provision for credit losses		5.4
Write-offs		(2.8	)
Currency impact and other		(0.4	)
Balance, June 30, 2026	$	76.3

From time to time, we may transfer trade accounts receivables to third-party financial institutions to support our working capital needs under arrangements which may be accounted for as a sale if we conclude we have surrendered control over the transferred assets and maintain no significant continuing involvement, among other considerations. Available capacity under these arrangements is dependent on the level of our trade accounts receivable eligible to be sold, the financial institutions’ willingness to purchase such receivables and the limits provided by the financial institutions. These arrangements can be reduced or eliminated at any time due to market conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of clients. The aggregate service fees and charges related to these arrangements on our consolidated statements of operations are not material for any period presented.

Leases

We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at contract inception. We recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with contract terms longer than 12 months. We classify the lease as a finance or operating lease which affects the recognition, measurement, and presentation of lease expenses and cash flows. Our Consolidated Balance Sheets present ROU assets, short-term lease liability and long-term lease liability as separate line items.

      PART 1

    

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. As the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable in most of our leases, we use our incremental borrowing rate. We determine our incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date using our unsecured borrowing rate, adjusted for collateralization, lease term, economic environment, currency and other factors. ROU assets are recognized at commencement date at the value of the related lease liabilities, adjusted for any prepayments, lease incentives received, and initial direct costs incurred. Our lease terms include options to renew or not terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.

Lease expenses for operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and recorded in selling and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

In accordance with the accounting guidance on goodwill and other intangible assets, we perform an annual impairment test of goodwill at our reporting unit level and indefinite-lived intangible assets at our unit of account level during the third quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting units below their carrying value. In the event the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value including goodwill, we record an impairment charge equal to the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value. Similarly, if the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value, we record an impairment charge for the difference.

We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill utilizing an income approach that estimates the fair value of the future discounted cash flows to which the goodwill relates. This approach reflects management’s internal outlook of the reporting units, which is believed to be the best determination of value due to management’s insight and experience with the reporting units. We evaluate the following assumptions which are used in our goodwill impairment tests: expected future revenue growth rates, operating unit profit (OUP) margins, working capital levels, discount rates, and terminal value revenue growth rate. We consider expected future revenue growth rates, OUP margins and discount rates to be the more significant assumptions. The expected future revenue growth rates and OUP margins are determined after taking into consideration historical performance, our assessment of future market potential, and expected future business performance conditions. We believe that the discounted cash flow model provides the most reasonable and meaningful estimate of fair value, consistent with how market participants would value our reporting units in an orderly transaction.

For indefinite-lived intangible assets, we use either an income approach or a relief-from-royalty method, depending on the nature of the asset. Significant assumptions include expected future revenue growth rates, profit margins, discount rates, and market participant assumptions.

Management closely monitors the financial and operating results relative to the assumptions used in our fair value estimates, as well as macroeconomic conditions and strategic initiatives that may impact the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. During the second quarter of 2026, in connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we assessed the changes in circumstances that occurred during the quarter to determine if it was more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit were below its carrying amount. The actual results of revenues and OUP margins for our key reporting units were consistent with the forecasted assumptions used for the near-term revenue growth and OUP margins utilized in the discounted cash flow models as of our valuation date. In evaluating triggering events, we considered external data points from analysts, market peers, our past history and experience, actual operating results, and near-term and long-term forecasts. Specifically, we observed largely stable activity levels across North America and Europe, with improving trends in certain reporting units, which management expects to continue through 2026. Based on the analysis performed, we concluded that the fair value of the reporting units continued to equal or exceed the carrying value and that no triggering events requiring an interim impairment test were identified.

We have recently had stable activity levels in certain markets, and in prior periods, we have experienced decreases in our operating results. There could be further decreases in our operating results, which may result in the recognition of goodwill impairments.

(2) Recent Accounting Standards

In November 2024, the FASB issued new guidance on disaggregation of income statement expenses. The guidance requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement, as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The guidance is effective for our 2027 annual financial statements and can be adopted prospectively or retrospectively. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

      PART 1

    

In September 2025, the FASB issued new guidance on internal-use software. The guidance removes the requirement to evaluate costs by development stage and allows capitalization to begin once management commits funding and completion is probable. The new standard is effective as of January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. It may be adopted prospectively or retrospectively. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2025, the FASB issued new guidance on hedge accounting. The guidance provides additional requirements in five areas: similar risk assessment, treatment of Choose-Your-Rate debt, nonfinancial forecasted transactions, net written options, and dual-hedging foreign-currency-denominated debt. The guidance is effective for us as of January 1, 2027. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued new guidance on government grants. The guidance requires entities to recognize government grants when they meet the conditions for receipt and to present them either as a reduction of related expenses or as other income, based on the nature of the grant. It also requires specific disclosures about the nature, terms, and amounts of government grants received. The guidance is effective for us as of January 1, 2029. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

(3) Revenue Recognition

For client contracts where we recognize revenues over time, we recognize the amount that we have the right to invoice, which corresponds directly to the value provided to the client of our performance to date.

We do not disclose the amount of unsatisfied performance obligations for client contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and those client contracts for which we recognize revenues at the amount to which we have the right to invoice for services performed. We have other contracts with revenues expected to be recognized subsequent to June 30, 2026 related to remaining performance obligations, which are not material.

We record accounts receivable when our right to consideration becomes unconditional. Contract assets primarily relate to our rights to consideration for services provided that they are conditional on satisfaction of future performance obligations. We record contract liabilities (deferred revenue) when payments are made or due prior to the related performance obligations being satisfied. The current portion of our contract liabilities is included in accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not have any material contract assets or long-term contract liabilities.

Our deferred revenue was $37.7 as of June 30, 2026 and $45.6 as of December 31, 2025.

In the following tables, revenue is disaggregated by service types for each of our reportable segments. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for descriptions of revenue service types.

(4) Share-Based Compensation Plans

During the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we recognized share-based compensation expense of $7.6 and $7.7, respectively, and $13.6 and $15.3 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The expense relates to deferred stock units, restricted stock units, performance share units and a savings-related share option scheme in the United Kingdom. We recognize share-based compensation expense in selling and administrative expenses on a straight-line basis over the service period of each award. There was no consideration received from share-based awards for both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

(5) Acquisitions and Dispositions

From time to time, we acquire and invest in companies throughout the world, including franchises. Total cash consideration paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $0.8 and $2.3 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Occasionally, we dispose of parts of our operations based on risk considerations and to optimize our global strategic and geographic footprint as well as improve our overall efficiency.

On June 30, 2026, we liquidated our previously discontinued Venezuela operations within our Americas segment. As a result, we recognized a one-time net loss of $5.5 in interest and other expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

On April 30, 2026, we sold our Jefferson Wells U.S. business, a non-core finance and accounting business in the United States, which is part of our Americas segment, for a transaction value of $100.0. Net cash proceeds were $87.5 after working capital adjustments and other items. In connection with the disposition, we recognized a one-time net gain of $30.0 in selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. The gain recognized on the transaction is subject to final working capital adjustments, which are expected to be finalized during the third quarter of 2026.

      PART 1

    

(6) Restructuring Costs

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded $22.6 in restructuring costs, of which $6.7 was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2026. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded restructuring costs of $14.4 and $30.2, respectively. Payments made from the restructuring reserve were $14.2 and $32.0 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. We use our restructuring reserve for severance, office closures, office consolidations, and professional and other fees related to restructuring in multiple countries and territories. We expect a majority of the remaining $25.2 reserve will be paid by the end of 2026.

Changes in the restructuring reserve by reportable segment and Corporate are shown below:


	Americas(a)			Southern Europe(b)			Northern Europe			APME			Corporate		Total
Balance, December 31, 2025	$	2.7		$	8.0		$	24.2		$	0.2		$	—	$	35.1

(a)

Balances related to the United States were $0.6 and $2.6 as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, respectively.

(b)

Balances related to France were $3.1 and $3.6 as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, respectively. Balances related to Italy were $0.6 and $1.7 as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, respectively.

(c)

Liabilities related to exited leased facilities are recorded within our short-term and long-term operating lease liabilities within our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(7) Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense on pre-tax earnings resulting in an effective rate of 42.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to income tax expense on a pre-tax loss resulting in a negative effective tax rate of 60.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The 2026 rate was favorably impacted by the gain on the sale of our Jefferson Wells U.S. business and unfavorably impacted by strategic transformation program costs, restructuring charges, and a discontinued business liquidation charge recorded in the second quarter. The 2025 rate was negative due to a pre-tax loss that primarily resulted from the goodwill and indefinite lived intangible asset impairment charges recorded in Switzerland and the United Kingdom and losses on the disposals of South Africa and New Caledonia, all of which are non-deductible. The 42.0% effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was higher than the United States Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the overall mix of earnings, tax losses in certain countries for which we did not recognize a corresponding tax benefit due to valuation allowances, the French exceptional corporate income tax surcharge, and the French business tax.

We recorded income tax expense on pre-tax earnings resulting in an effective rate of 48.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to income tax expense on a pre-tax loss resulting in a negative effective tax rate of 144.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The 2026 rate was favorably impacted by the gain on the sale of our Jefferson Wells U.S. business and unfavorably impacted by restructuring charges, strategic transformation program costs, and a discontinued business liquidation charge recorded in the first six months of 2026. The 2025 rate was negative due to a pre-tax loss that primarily resulted from the goodwill and indefinite lived intangible asset impairment charges recorded in Switzerland and the United Kingdom and losses on the disposals of South Africa and New Caledonia, all of which are non-deductible. The 48.0% effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was higher than the United States Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the overall mix of earnings, tax losses in certain countries for which we did not recognize a corresponding tax benefit due to valuation allowances, the French exceptional corporate income tax surcharge, and the French business tax.

We had gross unrecognized tax benefits related to various tax jurisdictions, including interest and penalties, of $41.0 as of June 30, 2026. If recognized, the entire amount would favorably affect the effective tax rate except for $3.9. As of December 31, 2025, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits related to various tax jurisdictions, including interest and penalties, of $41.4.

We conduct business globally in various countries and territories. We are routinely audited by the tax authorities of the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate. Generally, the tax years that could be subject to examination are 2019 through 2026 for our major operations in France, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States. As of June 30, 2026, we were subject to tax audits in Belgium, Germany, India, Israel, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States.

Net earnings (loss) per share - diluted	$	1.13	$	(1.44	)	$	1.19	$	(1.32	)

There were 0.6 million and 1.0 million share-based awards excluded from the calculation of net earnings (loss) per share - diluted for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, because their impact was anti-dilutive. There were 0.6 million and 1.1 million share-based awards excluded from the calculation of net earnings (loss) per share - diluted for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, because their impact was anti-dilutive.

Balances related to the United States were $1,007.2 and $1,071.7 as of December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2026, respectively. The increase in 2026 was due to the transfer of goodwill associated with the acquisitions of Right Management and Jefferson Wells U.S. from Corporate to the United States.

We conduct share repurchases from time to time through a variety of methods, including open market purchases, block transactions, privately negotiated transactions or similar facilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we did not repurchase any shares under the 2023 authorization. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased 0.7 million shares under the 2023 authorization at a cost of $37.0.

(13) Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Derivative Financial Instruments

We are exposed to various market risks relating to our ongoing business operations. The primary market risks, which are managed using derivative instruments, are foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk. In certain circumstances, we enter into cross-currency swaps and foreign currency forward exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates on our cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our long-term debt obligations. We have historically managed interest rate risk through the use of a combination of fixed and variable rate borrowings.

Net Investment Hedges

We use cross currency swaps, forward contracts and a portion of our foreign currency denominated debt, a non-derivative financial instrument, to protect the value of our net investments in certain of our foreign subsidiaries. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of our net investments in foreign operations, the changes in fair values of the derivative instruments are recognized in foreign currency translation, a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”), to offset the changes in the values of the net investments being hedged. For non-derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, the change in the carrying value of the designated portion of the non-derivative financial instrument due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is also recorded in foreign currency translation.

The €400.0 ($455.9) notes due June 2027 and the €500.0 ($567.0) notes due December 2030 were designated as a hedge of our net investment in our foreign subsidiaries with a Euro-functional currency as of June 30, 2026.

On September 10, 2025, we de-designated our previous cross-currency swap and entered into a new agreement under which we pay fixed-rate Swiss franc (“CHF”) and receive fixed-rate United States dollar (“USD”) payments. The new swap, designated as a net investment hedge of our foreign subsidiary with a CHF functional currency, includes modified terms such as a reset of the USD fixed rate and an extension of maturity. The notional amount of the swap is $413.8 and consists of three tranches, each representing one-third of the total notional amount, with staggered maturities on September 10, 2026, September 10, 2027 and September 11, 2028. The swap contains a significant financing component. Accordingly, future cash settlements related to the swap will be classified within financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The new swap was designated as a net investment hedge under the spot method. At the time of de-designation, the total mark-to-market loss on the original swap was $99.6, of which $82.2 was related to currency effects and was recorded in foreign currency translation within AOCL. The remaining $17.4 represents the excluded component, which is being amortized into interest expense over the life of the new swap.

The effect of our net investment hedges on AOCL for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:


	Gain (Loss) Recognized in Other Comprehensive Income
	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,

      PART 1

    

Cash Flow Hedges

We use forward currency exchange contracts to hedge the changes in cash flows of certain operational expenses denominated in foreign currency due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The changes in fair value of the forward currency exchange contracts derivatives are recorded in AOCL and reclassified into earnings when the underlying operating expense is recognized in earnings.

On June 9, 2022, we entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of €300.0 and a fixed rate of 1.936%, which was accounted for as a cash flow hedge, to hedge the interest rate exposure related to our anticipated issuance of €400.0 notes to repay our existing €400.0 notes maturing in September 2022. Upon the issuance of the notes on June 30, 2022, we settled this forward starting interest rate swap, resulting in a gain of $2.0, which was recorded in AOCL and is being amortized over the term of the notes as an offset to interest expense.

The following tables present the impact that changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges had on other comprehensive income (“OCI”), AOCL and earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:


	Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI					Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCL into Income
	Three Months Ended June 30,				Location of Gain (Loss) Reclassified	Three Months Ended June 30,
Instrument	2026		2025		from AOCL into Income	2026		2025
Forward starting interest swap	$	—	$	—	Interest and other expenses, net	$	0.1	$	0.1

	Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI					Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCL into Income

Instrument	2026		2025		from AOCL into Income	2026		2025
Forward starting interest swap	$	—	$	—	Interest and other expenses, net	$	0.2	$	0.2

We expect the net amount of pre-tax derivative gains and losses included in AOCL at June 30, 2026 to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months will not be significant. The actual amount that will be reclassified to earnings over the next 12 months will vary due to future currency exchange rates.

Fair Value Hedges

We account for derivatives as fair value hedges when the hedged item is a recognized asset, liability, or firm commitment. We use cross currency swaps to hedge the changes in cash flows of certain of our foreign currency denominated intercompany notes due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We record the change in carrying value of the foreign currency denominated notes due to changes in exchange rates into earnings each period. The changes in fair value of the cross-currency swap derivatives are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) with an immediate reclassification into earnings for the change in fair value attributable to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

In April 2024, we settled our previous cross-currency swaps at maturity for a net cash inflow of $14.9 and entered into a new cross-currency swap with a maturity date of April 2027. The swaps hedge an intercompany fixed-rate CHF denominated note, including annual interest payments and the payment of remaining principal at maturity, by converting it to a fixed-rate Euro denominated note. The economic effect of the swaps is to eliminate the uncertainty of cash flows in CHF associated with the note by fixing the principal at €236.9 with a fixed annual interest rate of 3.45%.

In September 2024, we settled our previous cross-currency swaps at maturity for a net cash inflow of $1.6 and entered into a new cross currency swap with a maturity date of September 2027. The swaps hedge an intercompany fixed-rate CHF denominated note, including the annual interest payments and the payment of remaining principal at maturity, by converting it to a fixed-rate Euro denominated note. The economic effect of the swaps is to eliminate the uncertainty of cash flows in CHF associated with the note by fixing the principal at €63.6 with a fixed annual interest rate of 3.27%.

      PART 1

    

The following tables present the impact that the fair value hedges had on our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Cross-currency swaps		0.9		(0.2	)	Interest and other expenses, net		2.3			2.0

We assessed the hedging relationship at the inception of the hedges in order to determine whether the derivatives that are used in the transaction are highly effective in offsetting the cash flows of the hedged item, and will continue to assess the relationship on an ongoing basis. We use the hypothetical derivative method in conjunction with regression analysis using a third-party valuation to measure effectiveness of our cross-currency swap agreements and our forward currency exchange contracts.

Non-designated instruments

We also use certain derivatives, which are not designated as hedging instruments, as economic hedges of foreign currency and interest rate exposure. For our forward contracts that are not designated as hedges, any gain or loss resulting from the change in fair value is recognized in current period earnings. These gains or losses are offset by the exposure related to receivables and payables with our foreign subsidiaries and to interest due on our Euro-denominated notes, which is paid annually in June. The effect of our forward contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments on the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:


		Gain Recognized in Income
	Location of Gain	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

The carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair value, except for the Euro-denominated notes, because the interest rates are variable and reflect current market rates. The fair value of the Euro-denominated notes, as observable at commonly quoted intervals (Level 2 inputs), was $1,024.4 and $1,645.3 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, compared to a carrying value of $1,022.9 and $1,639.0, respectively.

Our deferred compensation plan assets, included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $200.6 and $188.6 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. We determine the fair value of these assets, comprised of publicly traded securities, by using market quotes as of the last day of the period (Level 1 inputs).

We measure the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swaps at the value based on either directly or indirectly observable inputs from third parties (Level 2 inputs).

(15) Segment Data

Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is our Chief Executive Officer, who evaluates the performance of our operating segments using OUP. OUP serves as the measure of profitability for monitoring actual results against budgeted expectations as well as investment and resource allocation among our segments. In addition, the CODM utilizes OUP in conducting competitive analysis, benchmarking our performance against that of our competitors and determining compensation.

We are organized and managed primarily on a geographic basis. Each country and business unit generally has its own distinct operations and management team, providing services under our global brands and maintains its own financial reports. Each operation reports directly or indirectly through a regional manager to a member of executive management. Given this reporting structure, we operate using the following reporting segments: Americas, which includes United States and Other Americas; Southern Europe, which includes France, Italy and Other Southern Europe; Northern Europe; and APME.

The segments derive a majority of their revenues from our staffing and interim services. The remaining revenues within these segments are derived from our outcome-based solutions and consulting services, permanent recruitment services, outplacement services, talent management services and other services. Segment revenues represent sales to external clients. We provide services to a wide variety of clients, none of which individually comprise a significant portion of revenues for us as a whole. Due to the nature of our business, we generally do not have export sales.

(16) Contingencies

On June 2, 2026, the Japan Fair Trade Commission (“JFTC”) carried out an inspection of certain offices associated with our Japanese subsidiary as part of the JFTC’s investigation of the temporary staffing industry in Japan. We are cooperating with the JFTC investigation. As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report, the JFTC has not communicated the potential impact of any actions related to these matters to ManpowerGroup in Japan. The JFTC investigation is ongoing, and currently we are unable to predict or determine the scope, duration or outcome of the investigation or whether the investigation will or could have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (each a "forward-looking statement"). Statements made in this quarterly report that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. In addition, from time to time, we and our representatives may make statements that are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current assumptions and expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties that are beyond our control and may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” and other similar expressions. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the risk factors discussed in Item 1A – Risk Factors in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2025, which information is incorporated herein by reference. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, volatile, negative or uncertain economic conditions, particularly in Europe and the United States, including inflation, global trade policies, and geopolitical risk and uncertainty; changes in labor and tax legislation in places we do business; failure to implement strategic transformation initiatives and technology investments; and other factors that may be disclosed from time to time in our SEC filings or otherwise. We caution that any forward-looking statement reflects only our belief at the time the statement is made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

Business Overview

Our business is cyclical in nature and is sensitive to macroeconomic conditions generally. Client demand for workforce solutions and services is dependent on the overall strength of the labor market and secular trends toward greater workforce flexibility within each of the segments where we operate. Improving economic growth typically results in increasing demand for labor, resulting in greater demand for our staffing services while demand for our outplacement services typically declines. During periods of decreased demand, our operating profit is generally impacted unfavorably as we experience a deleveraging of selling and administrative expenses, which may not decline at the same pace as revenues. By contrast, during periods of increased demand, we are generally able to improve our profitability and operating leverage as our cost base can support some increase in business without a similar increase in selling and administrative expenses.

In the second quarter of 2026, we delivered strong revenue growth and improved profitability, with particularly strong demand in the United States, Latin America, Asia Pacific Middle East and select European markets including Italy, Spain, Poland and Norway. Employers remain measured in their workforce planning decisions, but hiring activity continued to improve across many of our key markets. Demand trends strengthened during the quarter, supported by very strong growth in the Manpower brand and sequential improvement across Experis and Talent Solutions. While performance continues to vary across markets and brands, improving trends in Experis, continued growth in MSP, and strengthening RPO activity support our view that 2026 represents an important inflection point for ManpowerGroup as we execute our transformation strategy and position the business for long-term profitable growth.

During the second quarter of 2026, the United States dollar weakened on average, relative to the currencies in most of our markets, and overall had a favorable impact on our reported results. The changes in the foreign currency exchange rates had a 1.7% favorable impact on revenues from services. Substantially all of our subsidiaries derive revenues from services and incur expenses within the same local currency and generally do not have cross-currency transactions, and therefore, changes in foreign currency exchange rates primarily impact reported earnings and not our actual cash flow unless earnings are repatriated. To understand the performance of our underlying business, we utilize constant currency or organic constant currency variances for our consolidated and segment results.

      PART 1

    

During the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, we experienced a 14.4% revenue increase in the Americas, primarily driven by an increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services and the favorable impact of currency exchange rates, partially offset by a decrease in demand for our Experis interim services. During the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, we experienced a 7.4% revenue increase in Southern Europe, primarily due to an increase in demand for Manpower staffing services, the favorable impact of currency exchange rates, and an increase in demand for our Experis interim services. During the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, we experienced a 3.9% revenue increase in Northern Europe, primarily due to an increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services and the favorable impact of currency exchange rates, partially offset by a decrease in demand for our Experis interim services. We experienced a -1.2% revenue decrease in APME in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to the unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates, partially offset by an increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services and an increase in demand for our Experis interim services.

From a brand perspective, we experienced revenue increases in Manpower and Talent Solutions while Experis experienced a revenue decrease in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. In our Manpower brand, the revenue increase was primarily due to increased demand for staffing services and Outcome Based Solutions. In our Talent Solutions brand, the revenue increase was primarily due to the favorable impact of currency exchange rates. The revenue decrease in our Experis brand was primarily due to decreased demand in our interim services and permanent recruitment services.

In the second quarter of 2026, our gross profit margin decreased 80 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily attributable to decreases in our staffing and interim margins due to business mix shifts and impact from the sale of the higher-margin Jefferson Wells U.S. business.

Our operating profit increased $137.3 in the second quarter of 2026 and our operating profit margin increased 290 basis points compared to the second quarter of 2025. Operating profit margin increased in the second quarter of 2026 primarily due to the negative impact of impairment in the prior year related to our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, the positive impact from the gain on sale of the Jefferson Wells U.S. business in the current year, and increased demand in our Manpower staffing services.

      PART 1

    

The year-over-year increase in revenues from services was 7.5% (5.8% in constant currency and 6.1% in organic constant currency) primarily attributed to:

•

a revenue increase in the Americas of 14.4% (12.5% increase in constant currency and 13.9% in organic constant currency) primarily driven by a $126.1 increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services and a $20.0 favorable impact of currency exchange rates, partially offset by a $7.9 decrease in demand for our Experis interim services. The United States, our largest market in the Americas, experienced a revenue increase of 6.0% (8.0% in organic constant currency) primarily driven by a $42.3 increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services, partially offset by a $10.3 decrease in demand for our Experis interim services. The revenue increase in the United States was accompanied by a revenue increase of 29.0% (23.8% in constant currency) in our Other America countries, primarily driven by an $83.0 increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services.

•

a revenue increase in Southern Europe of 7.4% (4.0% in constant currency) primarily driven by a $79.6 increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services, a $73.3 favorable impact of currency exchange rates, and a $5.0 increase in demand for our Experis interim services. France, the largest market in Southern Europe, experienced a revenue increase of 2.5% (flat in constant currency) primarily driven by a $27.8 favorable impact of currency exchange rates and an $8.1 increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services, partially offset by a $4.2 decrease in demand for our Outcome Based Solutions. Italy, our second-largest market in Southern Europe, experienced a revenue increase of 9.6% (7.0% in constant currency) primarily driven by a $29.2 increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services and a $12.5 favorable impact of currency exchange rates;

•

a revenue increase in Northern Europe of 3.9% (1.4% in constant currency) primarily driven by a $34.2 increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services and the $20.1 favorable impact of currency exchange rates, partially offset by a $19.7 decrease in demand for our Experis interim services. Within our Northern Europe segment, we experienced revenue increases in the Nordics of $11.7, Poland of $ 11.4, the United Kingdom of $5.9 and Belgium of $2.4, which represented revenue increases of 7.3%, 18.1%, 2.3% and 2.9%, respectively (1.1%, 15.0%, 1.9%, and 0.5%, respectively, in constant currency). This was partially offset by decreases in the Netherlands of $3.3 and Germany of $0.4, which represented revenue decreases of -3.6% and -0.4% respectively (-5.9% and -2.6% respectively, in constant currency); and

•

a revenue decrease in APME of -1.2% (5.0% increase in constant currency) primarily driven by a $32.8 unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates, partially offset by a $25.2 increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services and a $1.8 increase in demand for our Experis interim services. Japan's -7.0% revenue decrease (2.7% increase in constant currency) is primarily due to a $30.8 unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates, partially offset by a $7.9 increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services. India's -6.9% revenue decrease (3.0% increase in constant currency) is primarily due to a $6.7 unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates, partially offset by a $2.2 increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services.

The year-over-year 80 basis point decrease in gross profit margin was primarily attributed to:

•

a 50 basis point unfavorable impact from the decrease in staffing and interim margins due to business mix shifts and the sale of the higher-margin Jefferson Wells U.S. business;

•

a 10 basis point unfavorable impact from decreases in permanent recruitment margins due to lower levels of activity; and

•

a 20 basis point unfavorable impact from other services.

The -15.3% decrease in selling and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 (-16.6% in constant currency and -16.1% in organic constant currency) was primarily attributed to:

•

an $88.7 impact of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible asset impairment charges which were related to our Switzerland and United Kingdom reporting units in the prior-year quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to no impairment charges in the current-year quarter ended June 30, 2026;

•

a $30.0 positive impact from the gain on sale of our Jefferson Wells U.S. business in the current-year quarter;

•

a $9.8 decrease (-0.5% as reported, -2.2% in constant currency, and -1.4% in organic constant currency) in personnel costs primarily due to a $9.4 decrease in salaries as we saw the effects of restructuring actions previously taken; and

•

a $7.3 decrease (-51.3% as reported and -52.9% in constant currency) in restructuring costs when compared to the second quarter of 2025; partially offset by

•

a $7.1 increase in strategic transformation program costs related to our global transformation initiative; and

•

a $10.1 increase due to the impact of changes in currency exchange rates.

      PART 1

    

Selling and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues decreased 370 basis points in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 due primarily to:

•

a 200 basis point favorable impact attributable to our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible asset impairment charges in 2025 which were related to our Switzerland and United Kingdom reporting units compared to no impairment charges in the current-year quarter ended June 30, 2026;

•

a 70 basis point favorable impact as a result of lower personnel costs primarily due to a decrease in salaries and other personnel costs due to the effects of restructuring actions previously taken;

•

a 50 basis point favorable impact due to the gain on the sale of our Jefferson Wells U.S. business;

•

a 30 basis point favorable impact due to decreases office lease expense and other non-personnel costs; and

•

a 20 basis point favorable impact as a result of the decrease in restructuring costs incurred in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025.

Interest and other expenses, net is comprised of interest, foreign exchange gains and losses and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expenses, including those associated with noncontrolling interests. Interest expense, net was $19.0 in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $17.8 in the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to increased interest expense on €500.0 notes due December 2030. Foreign exchange loss, net was $1.7 in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $1.3 in the second quarter of 2025. Miscellaneous income, net was $1.1 in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $2.6 in the second quarter of 2025.

Net earnings per share - diluted was $1.13 in the second quarter of 2026 compared to net loss per share - diluted of -$1.44 in the second quarter of 2025. The gain on the sale of our Jefferson Wells U.S. business and a discontinued business liquidation charge favorably impacted net earnings per share $0.37, partially offset by restructuring and strategic transformation program costs with an unfavorable impact of $0.23. The net positive impact of all these factors is approximately $0.14, net of tax, in the second quarter of 2026.

Weighted average shares - diluted increased to 47.4 million in the second quarter of 2026 from 46.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of certain dilutive securities in the second quarter of 2026 weighted average share count. In the second quarter of 2025, all dilutive securities were excluded due to the net loss incurred during the period.

Gross profit margin decreased 40 basis points in the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025. This decrease was primarily due to due to increased demand in our Manpower staffing services, which contributed 40 basis points to the decrease.

Selling and administrative expenses increased 4.7% (1.2% in constant currency) during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the $8.2 unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates and an increase of $3.1 increase in personnel costs, partially offset by a decrease of $2.1 in non-personnel costs.

Selling and administrative expenses increased 7.8% (0.5% in constant currency) during the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025, primarily due to the $33.2 unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates and an increase of $4.2 in personnel costs, partially offset by a decrease of $5.5 in non-personnel costs incurred.

OUP increased 2.5% (-1.0% in constant currency) in the second quarter of 2026, which represented a 3.3% OUP margin, a decrease from 3.4% in the second quarter of 2025. This OUP increase was primarily due to the favorable impact of currency exchange rates. In France, the OUP margin decreased to 2.4% for the second quarter of 2026 compared to 2.8% for the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in gross profit margin due to mix shifts. In Italy, the OUP margin decreased to 6.5% for the second quarter of 2026 compared to 6.7% for the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to a decrease in gross profit margin in our staffing business due to business mix shifts. In Other Southern Europe, the OUP margin increased to 2.1% for the second quarter of 2026 from 1.7% for the second quarter of 2025.

OUP increased 4.8% (-1.4% in constant currency) in the first half of 2026, which represented a 2.9% OUP margin, a decrease from 3.1% in the first half of 2025. This OUP increase was primarily due to the favorable impact of currency exchange rates. In France, the OUP margin decreased to 2.0% for the first half of 2026 compared to 2.5% for the first half of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in gross profit margin due to mix shifts. In Italy, the OUP margin decreased to 6.3% for the first half of 2026 compared to 6.5% for the first half of 2025 primarily due to a decrease in gross profit margin in our staffing business due to business mix shifts. In Other Southern Europe, the OUP margin increased to 1.7% for the first half of 2026 from 1.3% for the first half of 2025 primarily due increased activity in our Manpower staffing solutions.

Northern Europe

In Northern Europe, the largest country operations include the United Kingdom, the Nordics, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium (comprising 33%, 21%, 11%, 11% and 10%, respectively, of Northern Europe’s revenues). In Northern Europe, revenues from services increased 3.9% (1.4% in constant currency) in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by a $34.2 increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services and the $20.1 favorable impact of currency exchange rates, partially offset by a $19.7 decrease in demand for our Experis interim services. Within our Northern Europe segment, we experienced revenue increases in the Nordics of $11.7, Poland of $11.4, the United Kingdom of $5.9, and Belgium of $2.4, which represented revenue increases of 7.3%, 18.1%, 2.3%, and 2.9%, respectively (1.1%, 15.0%, 1.9%, and 0.5%, respectively, in constant currency). These increases were partially offset by decreases in the Netherlands of $3.3, and Germany of $0.4, which represented revenue decreases of -3.6%, and -0.4% respectively (-5.9% and -2.6%, respectively, in constant currency).

In Northern Europe, revenues from services increased 5.9% (-0.1% decrease in constant currency) in the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025, primarily driven by the $92.5 favorable impact of currency exchange rates and a $53.1 increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services, partially offset by a $40.4 decrease in demand for our Experis interim services. Within our Northern Europe segment, we experienced revenue increases in the Nordics of $31.4, Poland of $25.5, the United Kingdom of $17.8, Belgium of $8.4, and the Netherlands of $1.2, which represented revenue increases of 10.5%, 21.2%, 3.4%, 5.6%, and 0.7%, respectively (0.6%, 14.2%, flat, and decreases of -0.7% and -5.5%, respectively, in constant currency). This was partially offset by a revenue decrease in Germany of $5.0, or -2.7% (-8.4% in constant currency.

Gross profit margin decreased by 70 basis points in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in our Experis interim demand, which had a 70 basis point impact and decreased activity in our higher-margin permanent recruitment business, which had a 40 basis point impact, partially offset by increased activity in our Manpower staffing services, which had a 40 basis point impact.

Gross profit margin decreased by 110 basis points in the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in our Experis interim demand, which had a 70 basis point impact and decreased activity in our higher-margin permanent recruitment business, which had a 40 basis point impact.

      PART 1

    

Selling and administrative expenses decreased -8.2% (-10.5% in constant currency) in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by an $11.5 decrease in restructuring costs taken in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 and a $7.4 decrease in personnel costs as we experienced the impacts of restructuring actions previously taken.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased -7.9% (-13.6% in constant currency) in the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of $18.7 in restructuring costs incurred in the first six months of 2026 compared to the first six months of 2025 and a $17.8 decrease in personnel costs as we experienced the impacts of restructuring actions previously taken, partially offset by the $16.4 unfavorable impact due to currency exchange rates.

OUP in Northern Europe increased $10.9 in the second quarter of 2026, which represented a 0.2% OUP margin, an increase from -1.1% in the second quarter of 2025. This OUP margin increase was primarily driven by OUP increases in Germany of $7.0 and the Nordics of $6.9 resulting from a decrease in SG&A as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by a decrease in gross profit margin.

OUP in Northern Europe increased $21.1 in the first half of 2026, which represented a -0.4% OUP margin, an increase from -1.8% in the first half of 2025. This OUP margin increase was primarily driven by an OUP increase in the Nordics of $9.4 and Germany of $7.7 resulting from a decrease in SG&A as a percentage of revenue, partially offset by a decrease in gross profit margin.

APME

Revenues from services decreased -1.2% (5.0% increase in constant currency) in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 primarily driven by the $32.8 unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates, partially offset by a $25.2 increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services and a $1.8 increase in demand for our Experis interim services. In Japan (which represented 57% of APME’s revenues), revenues from services decreased by $22.2, or -7.0% (2.7% increase in constant currency), primarily driven by the $30.8 unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates, partially offset by a $7.9 increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services. In India (which represented 12% of APME’s revenues), revenues from services decreased by $4.7, or -6.9% (3.0% increase in constant currency), primarily driven by the $6.7 unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates, partially offset by a $2.2 increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services.

Revenues from services increased 2.8% (6.5% in constant currency) in the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025 primarily driven by a $56.5 increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services and a $7.5 increase in demand for our Experis interim services, partially offset by a $37.5 unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates. In Japan, revenues from services decreased by $13.5, or -2.2% (4.3% increase in constant currency), primarily driven a $39.7 unfavorable impact of currency exchange rates, partially offset by a $22.9 increase in demand for our Manpower staffing services.

Gross profit margin decreased by 70 basis points in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to decreased margins for our Manpower staffing services, which contributed 30 basis points to the decrease, decreased margins for our Experis interim services, which contributed 20 basis points to the decrease, and decreased margins for our permanent placement and consulting businesses, which each contributed 10 basis points to the decrease.

Gross profit margin decreased by 60 basis points in the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025, primarily due to decreased margins for our Manpower staffing services, which contributed 20 basis points to the decrease, decreased margins for our MSP business, which contributed 20 basis points to the decrease, and decreased margins for our permanent placement and Outcome Based Solutions, which each contributed 10 basis points to the decrease.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased -5.2% (increased 0.4% in constant currency) in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. The decrease is primarily due to the $3.6 favorable impact of currency exchange rates.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased -1.4% (increased 1.7% in constant currency) in the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025. The decrease is primarily due to the $3.8 favorable impact of currency exchange rates, partially offset by a $2.6 increase in personnel costs.

OUP in APME decreased -8.9% (0.2% increase in constant currency) in the second quarter of 2026, which represented a 4.6% OUP margin, a decrease from 5.0% in the second quarter of 2025. This OUP margin decrease was primarily driven by the unfavorable impact due to currency exchange rates.

      PART 1

    

OUP in APME decreased -1.7% (5.0% increase in constant currency) in the first half of 2026, which represented a 4.4% OUP margin, a decrease from 4.6% in the first half of 2025. This OUP margin decrease was primarily driven by the unfavorable impact due to currency exchange rates.

Financial Measures

Constant Currency and Organic Constant Currency Reconciliation

Changes in our financial results include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions, and dispositions. We provide “constant currency” and “organic constant currency” calculations in this report to remove the impact of these items. We express year-over-year variances that are calculated in constant currency and organic constant currency as a percentage.

When we use the term “constant currency,” it means that we have translated financial data for a period into United States dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that we used to translate financial data for the previous period. We believe that this calculation is a useful measure, indicating the actual growth or decline of our operations. We use constant currency results in our analysis of subsidiary or segment performance, including Argentina which operates in a hyperinflationary economy. We also use constant currency when analyzing our performance against that of our competitors. Substantially all of our subsidiaries derive revenues and incur expenses within a single country and, consequently, do not generally incur currency risks in connection with the conduct of their normal business operations. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates primarily impact reported earnings and not our actual cash flow unless earnings are repatriated.

When we use the term “organic constant currency,” it means that we have further removed the impact of acquisitions in the current period and dispositions from the prior period from our constant currency calculation. We believe that this calculation is useful because it allows us to show the actual growth or decline of our ongoing business.

The constant currency and organic constant currency financial measures are used to supplement those measures that are in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). These Non-GAAP financial measures may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in our industry, as other companies may calculate such financial results differently. These Non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash used to fund our operations is primarily generated through operating activities and provided by our existing credit facilities. We believe our available cash and existing credit facilities are sufficient to cover our cash needs for the foreseeable future. We assess and monitor our liquidity and capital resources globally. We use a global cash pooling arrangement, intercompany borrowing, and some local credit lines to meet funding needs and allocate our capital resources among our various entities. As of June 30, 2026, we had $152.4 of cash held by foreign subsidiaries. We have historically made and anticipate future cash repatriations to the United States from certain foreign subsidiaries to fund domestic operations.

The nature of our operations is such that our most significant current asset is accounts receivable and our most significant current liabilities are payroll-related costs, which are generally paid either weekly or monthly. As the demand for our services increases, we generally experience an increase in our working capital needs, as we continue to pay our associates on a weekly or monthly basis while the related accounts receivable are outstanding for much longer, which may result in a decline in operating cash flows.

Conversely, as the demand for our services declines, we generally experience a decrease in our working capital needs. This occurs as the existing accounts receivable are collected and not replaced at the same level, and thus our accounts receivable balance declines. There is less of an effect on current liabilities due to the shorter cycle time of the payroll-related items. While this may result in an increase in our operating cash flows, longer payment terms and timing of payroll, tax and supplier-related payments significantly impact our cash position and cash flows each period. Any increase in operating cash flows from an economic slowdown would not be sustained in the event that a downturn continues for an extended period.

Cash used in operating activities was $129.0 and $342.8 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. Changes in operating assets and liabilities utilized $230.5 and $441.3 of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These changes were primarily attributable to the timing of collections and payments. Accounts receivable decreased to $4,733.8 as of June 30, 2026 from $4,770.3 as of December 31, 2025 due to the impact of changes in currency exchange rates, partially offset by higher revenue during the second quarter of 2026. Days Sales Outstanding ("DSO") increased by one day from December 31, 2025 to 56 days as of June 30, 2026.

      PART 1

    

Cash provided by investing activities was $73.4 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $34.0 used for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in 2026 was due to the $87.5 proceeds from the sale of our Jefferson Wells U.S. business. Capital expenditures were $14.8 and $31.3 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These expenditures were primarily comprised of purchases of computer equipment, office furniture and other costs related to office openings and refurbishments, as well as capitalized software costs. The decrease in 2026 was mainly due to lower investments in capitalized software. Our investing activities also include acquisitions and investments in companies throughout the world, including franchises. Total cash consideration paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $0.8 and $2.3 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Cash used in financing activities was $636.8 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $124.0 provided in the six months ended June 30, 2025. Net debt repayments were $599.4 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to borrowings of $202.8 in the six months ended June 30, 2025. The larger repayments in 2026 were due to the redemption in January 2026 of our €500.0 notes originally issued in 2018. The borrowings in 2025 included $136.0 proceeds from our revolving debt facility, compared to no outstanding borrowings under the facility for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Our €400.0 notes and €500.0 notes are due June 2027 and December 2030, respectively. We plan to refinance the notes at maturity, or prior to maturity, with new borrowings. The credit terms, including interest rate and facility fees, of any replacement borrowings will be dependent upon the condition of the credit markets at that time. We currently do not anticipate any problems accessing the credit markets for replacement of those notes.

Our $600.0 revolving credit agreement, maturing December 15, 2030, requires that we comply with a leverage ratio (Net Debt-to-Net Earnings before interest and other expenses, provision for income taxes, intangible asset amortization expense, depreciation and amortization expense ("EBITDA")) of not greater than 3.5 to 1 and a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1. The exclusion of certain restructuring expenses is also allowed in the determination of EBITDA in the agreement. As defined in the agreement, we had a Net Debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 2.51 to 1 and a fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.98 to 1 as of June 30, 2026. Based on our current forecast, we expect to be in compliance with our financial covenants for the next 12 months.

As of June 30, 2026, we had no borrowings outstanding under our $600.0 credit facility or our $150.0 working capital facility. With $0.4 in outstanding letters of credit, we had $599.6 and $150.0, respectively, available for borrowing under these facilities.

In addition to the previously mentioned facilities, we maintain separate bank credit lines with financial institutions to meet the working capital needs of our subsidiary operations. As of June 30, 2026, such uncommitted credit lines totaled $364.0, of which $343.4 was unused. Under the revolving credit agreement, total subsidiary borrowings cannot exceed $300.0 in the first, second and fourth quarters, and $600.0 in the third quarter of each year. Additional borrowings of $279.4 could have been made under these lines as of June 30, 2026.

We have assessed our liquidity position as of June 30, 2026 and for the near future. As of June 30, 2026, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $180.6. We also have access to the previously mentioned revolving and uncommitted credit facilities that could have immediately provided us with up to $600.0 and $150.0 of additional cash, respectively, less any outstanding borrowings and letters of credit. We have an option to request an increase to the total availability under the revolving credit facility by an additional $300.0 and each lender may participate in the requested increase at their discretion. In addition, we have access to the previously mentioned credit lines to meet the working capital needs of our subsidiaries, of which $279.4 was available to use as of June 30, 2026. Our €400.0 ($455.9) notes mature in June 2027, and our €500.0 ($567.0) notes mature in December 2030. Based on the above, we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to satisfy future requirements and meet our obligations currently and in the near future.

Available capacity under the revolving credit facility represents $600.0 of total borrowing capacity less outstanding borrowings and letters of credit.

(b)

Available capacity under the working capital facility represents $150.0 of total borrowing capacity less outstanding borrowings and letters of credit.

We had aggregate commitments of $2,431.6 as of June 30, 2026 related to debt, operating leases, severance and office closure costs, and certain other commitments compared to $3,146.5 as of December 31, 2025.

We have entered into guarantee contracts and stand-by letters of credit totaling $684.9 and $626.1 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively ($641.7 and $582.3 for guarantees as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and $43.2 and $43.8 for stand-by letters of credit, respectively). The guarantees primarily relate to staffing license requirements, operating leases and indebtedness. The stand-by letters of credit mainly relate to workers’ compensation in the United States. If certain conditions were met under these arrangements, we would be required to satisfy our obligations in cash. Due to the nature of these arrangements and our historical experience, we do not expect any significant payments under these arrangements. Therefore, they have been excluded from our aggregate commitments. The cost of these guarantees and letters of credit were $0.9 and $0.8 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
