“In the second quarter, we measurably exceeded our guidance for both revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin driven by growing momentum from our growth and efficiency initiatives as well as constructive demand trends in parts of our portfolio. We delivered sequential improvements in each of our businesses as we continued to capitalize on organic growth drivers. Notably, Kelly's adjusted EBITDA margin returned to 3.0% in the quarter, demonstrating our ability to generate operating leverage in pursuit of growth. Our progress strengthens our conviction in our strategy and reinforces our confidence in our expectation of further measurable improvement in our year-over-year performance as we progress through the second half of the year.”
