Kelly Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: KELYA) (NASDAQ: KELYB), a world leader in human resources solutions, today announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 28, 2008.

Carl T. Camden, President and Chief Executive Officer, announced revenue for the fourth quarter of 2008 totaled $1.3 billion, a 13% decrease compared to the corresponding quarter in 2007. Revenue for the full year totaled $5.5 billion, a 3% decrease compared to 2007.

Losses from operations for the fourth quarter of 2008 totaled $83.6 million, compared to earnings from operations of $26.5 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2007. Included in the results from operations for the fourth quarter 2008 are impairment charges totaling $80.5 million and $1.5 million of restructuring costs relating to the Company's UK operations. Earnings from operations in the fourth quarter 2007 included $1.3 million of restructuring costs related primarily to our Americas Commercial operations. Excluding the impairment and restructuring charges, the loss from operations was $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to earnings from operations of $27.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Losses from operations for the full year of 2008 totaled $70.3 million, compared to earnings from operations of $80.1 million in 2007. The results for the full year 2008 include the $80.5 million of impairment charges, the $1.5 million of restructuring in the UK as well as a $22.5 million third quarter charge related to several litigation matters. Included in earnings from operations for 2007 are $8.9 million of costs related to the restructuring of the Americas Commercial and UK operations.

Diluted losses per share from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2008 were $2.55, compared to fourth quarter 2007 earnings of $0.52 per share. The impairment charges totaled $2.22 per share and the UK restructuring charges totaled $0.04 per share in 2008. Fourth quarter 2007 diluted earnings include the $0.02 per share cost of the Americas Commercial restructuring.

Diluted losses per share from continuing operations for the full year of 2008 were $2.35, compared to 2007 earnings per share of $1.47. The impairment charges totaled $2.22, the UK restructuring charges totaled $0.04 and the litigation charges totaled $0.40 per diluted share from continuing operations in 2008. The Americas Commercial and UK restructuring costs totaled $0.21 per share in 2007.

The fourth quarter impairment charges include adjustments to the value of goodwill for the Company's EMEA Commercial segment, the Company's investment in Temp Holdings Co. Ltd. (formerly Tempstaff), a Japanese staffing company, and assets related to operations in the UK. The UK restructuring charge is part of a plan to further consolidate and close branches in the UK during 2009.

Commenting on the fourth quarter results, Camden called the Company's loss disappointing, but not unexpected.

"This year, we've witnessed a widespread economic slowdown as anxiety over the global financial crisis intensified. With the loss of 2.6 million jobs in the U.S. alone, it comes as no surprise that demand for temporary staffing has declined dramatically -- here, and throughout the world."

Camden emphasized that Kelly is making prudent decisions to reduce costs and be responsive to the economic times. He added that the Company continues to execute a strategic plan aimed at building long-term value for its stakeholders.

"We remain focused on diversifying globally, expanding our professional and technical staffing, and growing our outsourcing and consulting services," said Camden.

Management believes that the non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles) information excluding the impairment and restructuring charges
is useful to understand the Company's fiscal 2008 financial performance and
increases comparability. Specifically, Management believes that excluding
these items allows for a more meaningful comparison of current period
operating performance with the operating results of prior periods.  These
non-GAAP measures may have limitations as analytical tools because they
exclude items which can have a material impact on cash flow and earnings
per share.  As a result, Management considers these measures, along with
reported results, when it reviews and evaluates the Company's financial
performance.  Management believes that these measures provide greater
transparency to investors and provide insight into how Management is
evaluating the Company's financial performance. Non-GAAP measures should
not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial
performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.


(1) The Americas restructuring charge is comprised of facility exit costs
associated with the closure of 42 branch locations and the accelerated
depreciation of the leasehold improvements and personal property at the
impacted locations.

(2) The 2007 UK restructuring charge is comprised of facility exit costs
associated with the closure of 22 branch locations and the accelerated
depreciation of the leasehold improvements and personal property at the
impacted locations. The 2008 U.K. restructuring charge represents severance
costs related to 2009 planned branch consolidations and closures.

(3) The impairment charges include adjustments to the value of goodwill for
the Company's EMEA Commercial segment, the Company's investment in
Tempstaff, and assets related to operations in the U.K.
