UPDATED TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2013

Shareholders are referred to the trading statement published on SENS on 2 September 2013 in which Kelly Group advised shareholders that the Group expects an improvement of more than 20% in both basic and headline earnings for the full year compared to the basic and headline losses of the previous year.

During the second half of the year, Kelly Group concluded the sale of their USA-based subsidiaries and recognised a profit on the sale. Goodwill and trademarks associated with the rebranding of Kelly Professional Assignments as well as certain capitalised software items were impaired during the period.

An updated trading statement is now being issued and the results per share are reasonably expected to be:

  • Basic earnings of between 36 cents and 40 cents per share compared to a 27.5 cents loss per share in 2012; and
  • Headline earnings of between 7 cents and 11 cents per share compared to a 25.9 cents loss per share in 2012
.

The financial information on which this updated trading statement is based has not been reviewed or reported on by Kelly Group`s external auditors.

The financial results and commentary for the year ended 30 September 2013 will be released on SENS on or about 27 November 2013.
