We were engaged in litigation with a customer over a disputed accounts receivable balance for certain services rendered more than five years ago, which was recorded as a long-term receivable in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of second quarter-end 2021. The related allowance for credit losses on this long-term customer receivable was $10.9 million and represented the likelihood of collection as of second quarter-end 2021. Based on a final ruling in the case in favor of the customer, we wrote off the entire receivable balance in the third quarter of 2021. No other allowances related to other receivables were material for second quarter-end 2022.

4. Acquisitions
In the second quarter of 2022, Kelly Services USA, LLC ("KSU"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired Pediatric Therapeutic Services ("PTS"), as detailed below. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company acquired Rocket Power Holdings LLC and Rocket Power Ops LLC (collectively, "RocketPower"), as detailed below. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company acquired Softworld, Inc. ("Softworld"), as detailed below.
Pediatric Therapeutic Services
On May 2, 2022, KSU acquired 100% of the membership interests of PTS for a purchase price of $82.1 million. PTS is a specialty firm that provides and manages various state and federally mandated in-school therapy services. This acquisition will expand Kelly Education's K-12 solution offering in the education staffing market and serve as an entry point into the therapeutic services market. Under terms of the purchase agreement, the purchase price was adjusted for cash held by PTS at the closing date and estimated working capital adjustments resulting in the Company paying cash of $85.7 million. Total consideration includes $1.1 million of additional consideration that is payable to the seller by the end of 2022 related to employee retention credits. The total consideration is as follows (in millions of dollars):

Cash consideration paid | $ | 85.7 |
Additional consideration payable | 1.1 |
Total consideration | $ | 86.8 |

Due to the limited amount of time that has passed since acquiring PTS, the purchase price allocation for this acquisition is preliminary and could change. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition (in millions of dollars):

Cash | $ | 0.9 |
Trade accounts receivable | 10.0 |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 1.6 |
Net property and equipment | 0.4 |
Goodwill | 36.3 |
Intangibles | 40.3 |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, current | (2.6) |
Accrued payroll and related taxes, current | (0.1) |
Total consideration, including working capital adjustments | $ | 86.8 |

The fair value of the acquired receivables represents the contractual value. Included in the assets purchased in the PTS acquisition was $40.3 million of intangibles, made up of $29.8 million in customer relationships, $9.3 million associated with PTS's trade names and $1.2 million for non-compete agreements. Customer relationships will be amortized over 15 years with no residual value, trade names will be amortized over 15 years with no residual value, and the non-compete agreements will be amortized over five years with no residual value. Goodwill generated from the acquisition was primarily attributable to expected synergies from combining operations and expanding market potential and was assigned to the Education operating segment (see Goodwill footnote). All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
PTS's results of operations are included in the Education segment. Our consolidated revenues and earnings from operations for the second quarter and June year-to-date 2022 included $7.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, from PTS. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented as the acquisition does not have a material impact to the consolidated statements of earnings.
RocketPower
On March 7, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of RocketPower for a purchase price of $59.3 million. RocketPower is a leading provider of RPO and other outsourced talent solutions to U.S. high-

tech companies. This acquisition will expand OCG's RPO solution and delivery offering and enhance the specialty RPO strategy and expertise within the high-tech industry. Under terms of the purchase agreement, the purchase price was adjusted for cash held by RocketPower at the closing date and estimated working capital adjustments resulting in the Company paying cash of $61.8 million. Total consideration includes $1.1 million of additional consideration that is payable to the seller in 2023 related to employee retention credits and contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $0.6 million related to an earnout payment with a maximum potential cash payment of $31.8 million in the event certain financial metrics are met per the terms of the agreement. The initial fair value of the earnout was established using a Black Scholes model (see Fair Value Measurements footnote). The earnout is expected to be paid in 2023 and 2024 after each earn-out year pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement. The total consideration is as follows (in millions of dollars):

Cash consideration paid | $ | 61.8 |
Additional consideration payable | 1.1 |
Contingent consideration | 0.6 |
Total consideration | $ | 63.5 |

Due to the limited amount of time that has passed since acquiring RocketPower, the purchase price allocation for this acquisition is preliminary and could change. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition (in millions of dollars):

Cash | $ | 3.5 |
Trade accounts receivable | 6.9 |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 1.8 |
Net property and equipment | 0.1 |
Goodwill | 41.0 |
Intangibles | 15.8 |
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, current | (2.9) |
Accrued payroll and related taxes, current | (1.5) |
Other long-term liabilities | (1.2) |
Total consideration, including working capital adjustments | $ | 63.5 |

The fair value of the acquired receivables represents the contractual value. Included in the assets purchased in the RocketPower acquisition was $15.8 million of intangible assets, made up of $7.5 million in customer relationships, $6.6 million associated with RocketPower's trade names and $1.7 million for non-compete agreements. Customer relationships will be amortized over three years with no residual value, trade names will be amortized over 10 years with no residual value, and the non-compete agreements will be amortized over six years with no residual value. Goodwill generated from the acquisition was primarily attributable to expected synergies from combining operations and expanding market potential and was assigned to the OCG operating segment (see Goodwill footnote). The amount of goodwill expected to be deductible for tax purposes is approximately $28.0 million.
RocketPower's results of operations are included in the OCG segment in 2022 on a one-month lag, accordingly our first quarter 2022 consolidated revenues and earnings from operations did not include any results from RocketPower. Our consolidated revenues and earnings from operations for the second quarter and June year-to-date 2022 included $11.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, from RocketPower. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented as the acquisition does not have a material impact to the consolidated statements of earnings.

All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
5. Investment in Persol Holdings
Prior to February 2022, the Company had a yen-denominated investment through the Company's subsidiary, Kelly Services Japan, Inc., in the common stock of Persol Holdings Co., Ltd. ("Persol Holdings"), the 100% owner of Persol Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., the Company’s joint venture partner in PersolKelly Pte. Ltd. (the "JV"). In February 2022, the Company's board approved a series of transactions that ended the cross-shareholding agreement with Persol Holdings.
On February 14, 2022, the Company repurchased 1,576,169 Class A and 1,475 Class B common shares held by Persol Holdings for $27.2 million. The purchase price was based on the average closing price of the last five business days prior to the transaction. The shares were subsequently retired and returned to an authorized, unissued status. In accordance with the Company's policy, the amount paid to repurchase the shares in excess of par value of $25.6 million was recorded to earnings invested in the business in the consolidated balance sheet at the time of the share retirement.
On February 15, 2022, Kelly Services Japan, Inc. sold the investment in the common stock of Persol Holdings in an open-market transaction for proceeds of $196.9 million, net of transaction fees. As our investment was a noncontrolling interest in Persol Holdings, the investment was recorded at fair value based on the quoted market price of Persol Holdings stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange through the date of the transaction (see Fair Value Measurements footnote). The $67.2 million loss in the first quarter of 2022 recorded in gain (loss) on investment in Persol Holdings in the consolidated statements of earnings included $52.4 million for losses related to changes in fair value up to the date of the transaction and $14.8 million for the discount from the market price on the date of the sale and transaction costs. The gain on the investment of $6.3 million and $36.3 million in the second quarter and June year-to-date 2021, respectively, was recorded in gain (loss) on investment in Persol Holdings in the consolidated statements of earnings.
Subsequent to the transaction discussed above, the Company commenced the dissolution process of its Kelly Services Japan, Inc. subsidiary, which was considered substantially liquidated as of first quarter-end 2022. As a result, the Company recognized a $20.4 million cumulative translation adjustment loss in the first quarter of 2022, which is recorded in loss on currency translation from liquidation of subsidiary in the consolidated statements of earnings. The Company also recognized a $5.5 million foreign exchange gain related to U.S.-denominated cash equivalents held by Kelly Services Japan, Inc. following the sale of the Persol Holdings shares and prior to a dividend payment to the Company in the first quarter of 2022. The foreign exchange gain is recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of earnings.

6. Investment in PersolKelly Pte. Ltd.
Prior to February 2022, the Company had a 49% ownership interest in the JV (see Investment in Persol Holdings footnote above), a staffing services business operating in ten geographies in the Asia-Pacific region. On February 14, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell 95% of the Company's shares in the JV to Persol Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. On March 1, 2022, the Company received cash proceeds of $119.5 million. The carrying value of the shares sold was $117.6 million. In addition, the Company had $1.9 million of accumulated other comprehensive income representing the Company's share of the JV's other comprehensive income over time related to the shares sold that was realized upon the sale, offsetting the $1.9 million gain that resulted from the proceeds in excess of the carrying value.
The operating results of the Company’s interest in the JV were accounted for on a one-quarter lag under the equity method and were reported in equity in net earnings (loss) of affiliate in the consolidated statements of earnings through the date of the sale. Such amounts were earnings of $0.8 million in June year-to-date 2022, representing the results through the date of the sale, and earnings of $1.7 million and $0.6 million in the second quarter and June year-to-date 2021, respectively.
After the sale, the Company has a 2.5% ownership interest in the JV and discontinued its use of equity method accounting. The remaining investment is accounted for as an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value (see Fair Value Measurements footnote). The equity investment, included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, totaled $6.4 million as of second quarter-end 2022 and the investment in equity affiliate on the Company's consolidated balance sheet totaled $123.4 million as of year-end 2021.

Money market funds represent investments in money market funds that hold government securities, of which $7.3 million as of second quarter-end 2022 and $6.5 million as of year-end 2021 are restricted as to use and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The money market funds that are restricted as to use account for the majority of our restricted cash balance and represents cash balances that are required to be maintained to fund disability claims in California. The remaining money market funds as of second quarter-end 2022 and year-end 2021 are included in cash and equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet. The valuations of money market funds are based on quoted market prices of those accounts as of the respective period end.
On February 15, 2022, Kelly Services Japan, Inc. sold the investment in the common stock of Persol Holdings in an open-market transaction. The valuation of the investment was based on the quoted market price of Persol Holdings stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange as of year-end 2021, and the related changes in fair value were recorded in the consolidated statements of earnings (see Investment in Persol Holdings footnote). The cost of this yen-denominated investment, which fluctuated based on foreign exchange rates, was $18.0 million at year-end 2021.
As of second quarter-end 2022 and year-end 2021, the Company had an indemnification liability of $3.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet related to the 2020 sale of the Brazil operations. As part of the sale, the Company agreed to indemnify the buyer for losses and costs incurred in connection with certain events or occurrences initiated within a six-year period after closing. The aggregate losses for which the Company will provide indemnification shall not exceed $8.8 million. The valuation of the indemnification liability was established using a discounted cash flow methodology based on probability weighted-average cash flows discounted by weighted-average cost of capital. The valuation, which represents the fair value, is considered a Level 3 liability, and is being measured on a recurring basis. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company reassessed the value of the indemnification liability and determined that it was necessary to record an increase to the liability of $0.8 million. Additionally, during year-to-date 2022, the Company recognized an increase of $0.1 million to the indemnification liability related to exchange rate fluctuations in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of earnings.
The Company recorded an earnout liability relating to the 2020 acquisition of Greenwood/Asher, totaling $3.0 million at second quarter-end 2022 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $4.6 million at year-end 2021 with $2.3 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $2.3 million in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The initial valuation of the earnout liability was established using a Black Scholes model and represented the fair value and is considered a Level 3 liability. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company paid the year one portion of the earnout totaling $2.3 million. In the consolidated statements of cash flows, $0.7 million of the payment is reflected as a financing activity representing the initial fair value of the earnout, with the remainder flowing through operating activities. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company reassessed the value of the indemnification liability and determined it was necessary to record an increase to the liability of $0.7 million.
The Company recorded an earnout liability relating to the 2022 acquisition of RocketPower, totaling $0.6 million at second quarter-end 2022 with $0.5 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $0.1 million in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet (see Acquisitions footnote). The maximum total cash payments which may be due related to the earnout liability is $31.8 million. The initial valuation of the earnout liability was established using a Black Scholes model and represents the fair value and is considered a Level 3 liability.

Equity Investment Without Readily Determinable Fair Value
On March 1, 2022, the Company sold the majority of its investment in the JV (see Investment in PersolKelly Pte. Ltd. footnote), with the remaining 2.5% interest now being measured using the measurement alternative for equity investments without a readily determinable fair value. The measurement alternative represents cost, less impairment, plus or minus observable price changes. The sale of the shares of the JV represented an observable transaction requiring the Company to calculate the current fair value based on the purchase price of the shares, in which the resulting adjustment was not material. The investment totaled $6.4 million as of second quarter-end 2022, representing total cost plus observable price changes to date.
Prior to April 2021, the Company had a minority investment in Business Talent Group, LLC, which was included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The investment was also measured using the measurement alternative for equity investments without a readily determinable fair value as described above. In the second quarter of 2021, BTG entered into a merger agreement which resulted in all of the Company's shares of BTG being automatically canceled upon approval of the merger and resulted in the receipt of $5.0 million in cash, which was equal to the carrying value and purchase price of the BTG investment.
Prior to March 2021, the Company had a minority investment in Kenzie Academy Inc., which was included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The investment was also measured using the measurement alternative for equity investments without a readily determinable fair value as described above. On March 8, 2021, Kenzie entered into a transaction to sell its assets. As of the date of the sale, the investment had a carrying value of $1.4 million, representing total cost plus observable price changes to date. In the first quarter of 2021, the asset was written down as a result of the sale and the loss of $1.4 million was recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of earnings.
8. Restructuring
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company took restructuring actions designed to increase efficiency. There were no restructuring charges incurred in the second quarter of 2022 or June year-to-date 2021.
Restructuring costs incurred in the first quarter of 2022 totaled $1.7 million and were recorded entirely in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings, as detailed below (in millions of dollars):

11. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share on common stock for the second quarter and June year-to-date 2022 and 2021 follows (in millions of dollars except per share data):

| Second Quarter |  | June Year to Date
| 2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2022 |  | 2021
Net earnings (loss) | $ | 2.2 |  |  | $ | 24.0 |  |  | $ | (45.4) |  |  | $ | 49.6 |

Average shares outstanding (millions): |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Basic | 37.9 |  |  | 39.4 |  |  | 38.3 |  |  | 39.4 |
Dilutive share awards | 0.3 |  |  | 0.1 |  |  | — |  |  | 0.1 |
Diluted | 38.2 |  |  | 39.5 |  |  | 38.3 |  |  | 39.5 |
Basic earnings (loss) per share | $ | 0.06 |  |  | $ | 0.60 |  |  | $ | (1.19) |  |  | $ | 1.25 |
Diluted earnings (loss) per share | $ | 0.06 |  |  | $ | 0.60 |  |  | $ | (1.19) |  |  | $ | 1.25 |

Potentially dilutive shares outstanding are primarily related to deferred common stock related to the non-employee directors deferred compensation plan for the second quarter of 2022 and 2021 and June year-to-date 2021. Due to our net loss in June year-to-date 2022, potentially dilutive shares primarily related to deferred common stock related to the non-employee directors deferred compensation plan of 0.2 million shares had an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share and were excluded from the computation for June year-to-date 2022. Dividends paid per share for Class A and Class B common stock were $0.075 for the second quarter 2022, $0.125 for June year-to-date 2022 and $0.00 for the second quarter 2021 and June year-to-date 2021.
12. Stock-Based Compensation
For the second quarter of 2022, the Company recognized stock compensation expense of $1.7 million, and a related tax benefit of $0.2 million.

For June year-to-date 2022, the Company recognized stock compensation expense of $3.8 million, and a related tax benefit of $0.5 million. For June year-to-date 2021, the Company recognized stock compensation expense of $2.8 million, and a related tax benefit of $0.4 million.
Performance Shares
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company granted performance share awards associated with the Company’s Class A common stock to certain senior officers. The payment of performance share awards, which will be satisfied with the issuance of shares out of treasury stock, is contingent upon the achievement of specific revenue growth and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margin performance goals ("financial measure performance share awards") over a stated period of time. The maximum number of performance shares that may be earned is 200% of the target shares originally granted. These awards have three one-year performance periods: 2022, 2023 and 2024, with the payout for each performance period based on separate financial measure goals that are set in February of each of the three performance periods. Earned shares during each performance period will cliff vest in February 2025 after approval of the financial results by the Compensation Committee, if not forfeited by the recipient. No dividends are paid on these performance shares.

14. Held for Sale
Russia Operations
In the second quarter of 2022, the Company announced its intention to transition its business in Russia. On June 30, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Russia operations ("disposal group"), which is included in the Company's International operating segment. As of the date of the agreement and until closing of the sale, the disposal group is classified as held for sale and measured at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell. As of July 3, 2022, the assets and liabilities that have met the classification as held for sale are $38.4 million and $13.7 million, respectively. The fair value as of July 3, 2022 less costs to sell was estimated based on the terms of the definitive agreement and is $7.3 million. As a result, the Company has recorded a held for sale impairment charge of $18.5 million in the second quarter of 2022, which is recorded as a reduction to the assets in the assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet and in impairment of assets held for sale in the consolidated statements of earnings. The impairment charge includes $1.1 million for the anticipated liquidation of the cumulative translation adjustment. On July 20, 2022, subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the sale was completed and the Company no longer operates in Russia.
The disposal group did not meet the requirements to be classified as discontinued operations as the sale will not have a material effect on the Company's operations and does not represent a strategic shift in the Company's strategy. Our consolidated earnings before taxes for the second quarter of 2022 and 2021 included $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, from the Russia operations and for June year-to-date 2022 and 2021 included $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, from the Russia operations.
The major classes of assets and liabilities of the disposal group that have met the classification of held for sale as of July 3, 2022 are as follows (in millions of dollars):

|  | July 3, 2022
Assets held for sale |  |

Subsequent to the second quarter-end, the sale was completed and the Company received proceeds of $7.4 million, including purchase price adjustments, in July 2022. The assets and liabilities will be derecognized in the third quarter of 2022 as well as any adjustments to the loss on the sale.
Real Property
Kelly Properties, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement on May 11, 2022 to sell real property located in Troy, Michigan. Accordingly, during the second quarter of 2022, the transaction met the criteria to classify the property as held for sale. The property held for sale includes the property and all improvements to the property, together with all rights and easements. Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell, and depreciation is suspended on assets upon classification to held for sale. The carrying amount of the property held for sale as of the second quarter-end 2022 is $4.7 million, which is less than the sales price in the purchase agreement, less estimated costs to sell. The proceeds of the sale are expected to be approximately $5.6 million, net of commissions and transaction expenses. The Company has presented these assets as current assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of the second quarter-end 2022, as the property is expected to be sold in the fourth quarter of 2022 per terms of the purchase agreement.
15. Other Income (Expense), Net
Included in other income (expense), net for the second quarter and June year-to-date 2022 and 2021 are the following:

| Second Quarter |  | June Year to Date
| 2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2022 |  | 2021

Included in Other for the second quarter and June year-to-date 2022 is $0.8 million of expense related to the remeasurement of the Brazil indemnification liability (see Fair Value Measurements footnote). Included in foreign exchange gains (losses) for June year-to-date 2022 is a $5.5 million foreign exchange gain on a U.S. dollar-denominated cash balance held by the Company's Japan entity (see Investment in Persol Holdings footnote). Included in Other for June year-to-date 2021 is a loss from the sale of the assets related to our minority investment in Kenzie Academy (see Fair Value Measurements footnote) and transaction-related expenses from the April 2021 acquisition of Softworld (see Acquisitions footnote).

16. Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2022 and income tax benefit was $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2021. Income tax benefit was $8.1 million for June year-to-date 2022 and income tax expense was $7.9 million for June year-to-date 2021. The second quarter and June year-to-date 2021 amounts benefited $5.2 million from a change in United Kingdom tax rates, and from tax exempt gains on life insurance policies. The second quarter and June year-to-date 2022 taxes had no tax benefit from losses on life insurance policies. The second quarter and June year-to-date 2022 amounts are also impacted by changes in earnings from operations.
Our tax expense is affected by recurring items, such as the amount of pretax income and its mix by jurisdiction, U.S. work opportunity credits and the change in cash surrender value of tax exempt investments in life insurance policies. It is also affected by discrete items that may occur in any given period but are not consistent from period to period, such as tax law changes, changes in judgment regarding the realizability of deferred tax assets, the tax effects of stock compensation and, prior to February 2022, changes in the fair value of the Company's investment in Persol Holdings, which were treated as discrete since they cannot be estimated.
The Company provides valuation allowances against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
17. Contingencies
The Company is continuously engaged in litigation, threatened litigation, claims, audits or investigations arising in the ordinary course of its business, such as matters alleging employment discrimination, wage and hour violations, claims for indemnification or liability, violations of privacy rights, anti-competition regulations, commercial and contractual disputes, and tax-related matters which could result in a material adverse outcome.
We record accruals for loss contingencies when we believe it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and in accrued workers’ compensation and other claims in the consolidated balance sheet. At second quarter-end 2022 and year-end 2021, the gross accrual for litigation costs amounted to $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
The Company maintains insurance coverage which may cover certain losses. When losses exceed the applicable policy deductible and realization of recovery of the loss from existing insurance policies is deemed probable, the Company records receivables from the insurance company for the excess amount, which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. At second quarter-end 2022, the related insurance receivables amounted to $0.6 million. At year-end 2021, there were no related insurance receivables.
The Company estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, in excess of amounts accrued, is $0.7 million to $8.6 million as of second quarter-end 2022. This range includes matters where a liability has been accrued but it is reasonably possible that the ultimate loss may exceed the amount accrued and for matters where a loss is believed to be reasonably possible, but a liability has not been accrued. The aggregate range only represents matters in which we are currently able to estimate a range of loss and does not represent our maximum loss exposure. The estimated range is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and only based upon currently available information. For other matters, we are currently not able to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss.
While the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of any such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

18. Segment Disclosures
The Company’s operating segments, which also represent its reporting segments, are based on the organizational structure for which financial results are regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker ("CODM", the Company’s CEO) to determine resource allocation and assess performance. The Company’s five reportable segments, (1) Professional & Industrial, (2) Science, Engineering & Technology, (3) Education, (4) Outsourcing & Consulting, and (5) International, reflect the specialty services the Company provides to customers and represent how the business is organized internally. Intersegment revenue represents revenue earned between the reportable segments and is eliminated from total segment revenue from services.
The following tables present information about the reported revenue from services and gross profit of the Company by reportable segment, along with a reconciliation to earnings (loss) before taxes and equity in net earnings (loss) of affiliate, for the second quarter and June year-to-date 2022 and 2021. Asset information by reportable segment is not presented, since the Company does not produce such information internally nor does it use such information to manage its business.

19. New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted
In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, to require that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied prospectively to business combinations that occur after the effective date. We early adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2022 and the adoption did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01 which clarifies the interaction of rules for equity securities, the equity method of accounting, and forward contracts and purchase options on certain types of securities. The guidance clarifies how to account for the transition into and out of the equity method of accounting when considering observable transactions under the measurement alternative. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 simplifying various aspects related to the accounting for income taxes. The guidance removes exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
Not Yet Adopted
Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Executive Overview
Kelly’s strategy and actions are guided by our simple yet powerful Noble Purpose: “We connect people to work in ways that enrich their lives.” We are committed to being a leading talent solutions provider among the talent with whom we choose to specialize and in the global markets in which we choose to compete. As we navigate the post-pandemic landscape, we will continue to demonstrate our expected behaviors and actions:
•Employ a talent-first mentality
•Relentlessly deliver for customers
•Grow through discipline and focus
•Deliver efficiency and effectiveness in everything we do
By aligning ourselves with our Noble Purpose and executing against these behaviors, we are becoming a more agile and focused organization, prepared to achieve new levels of growth and profitability as we develop and reshape our portfolio of businesses.
The Talent Solutions Industry
Labor markets have been in the midst of change due to automation, secular shifts in labor supply and demand and skills gaps. Global demographic trends are reshaping and redefining the way in which companies find and use talent, and the COVID-19 pandemic changed where and how companies expect work to be performed—a shift we expect will carry over into the future. In response, the talent solutions industry is adjusting how it sources, recruits, trains and places talent.
Our industry is evolving to meet businesses’ growing demand for specialized talent, whether delivered as a single individual or as part of a total workforce solution. Companies in our industry are using novel sourcing approaches—including gig platforms, independent contractors and other talent pools—to create customized workforce solutions that are flexible and responsive to the labor market.
In addition, today’s companies are elevating their commitment to talent, with the growing realization that meeting the changing needs and requirements of talent is essential to remain competitive. The ways in which people view, find and conduct work are undergoing fundamental shifts. And as the demand for skilled talent continues to climb, workers’ changing ideas about the integration of work into life are becoming more important. 2021 saw record-breaking employee resignations in the U.S. as workers opted out of jobs that did not align with their needs. In this increasingly talent-driven market, a diverse set of workers, empowered by technology, is seeking to take even greater control over their career trajectories. Kelly is proud to be a career partner of choice for workers in search of a better way to work.
Our Business
Kelly is a talent and global workforce solutions company serving customers of all sizes in a variety of industries. We offer innovative outsourcing and consulting services, as well as staffing on a temporary and direct-hire basis. In 2020, we adopted a new operating model and realigned our business into five specialty business units, which are also our reportable segments.
•Professional & Industrial – delivers staffing, outcome-based and direct-hire services focused in office, professional, light industrial and contact center specialties in the U.S. and Canada, including our KellyConnect and our Business and Professional Services products
•Science, Engineering & Technology – delivers staffing, outcome-based and direct-hire services focused on science and clinical research, engineering, technology and telecommunications specialties predominantly in the U.S. and Canada and includes our NextGen and Global Technology Associates subsidiaries, as well as Softworld, a technology staffing and workforce solutions company acquired in 2021
31

•Education – delivers staffing, direct-hire and executive search services across the full education spectrum from early childhood to higher education in the U.S., and includes Teachers On Call, Greenwood/Asher & Associates and Pediatric Therapeutic Services ("PTS"), a specialty firm providing in-school therapy services, acquired in May 2022
•Outsourcing & Consulting – delivers Master Service Provider ("MSP"), Recruitment Process Outsourcing ("RPO"), which includes our March 2022 acquisition of RocketPower, Payroll Process Outsourcing ("PPO") and Talent Advisory Services to customers on a global basis
•International – delivers staffing, RPO and direct-hire services in 14 countries in Europe, as well as services in Mexico delivered in accordance with recent changes in labor market regulations. Effective July 20, 2022, we completed a transaction to transfer our business in Russia to an in-country provider and no longer operate in Russia.
In addition, we hold a minority interest in PersolKelly Pte. Ltd. ("PersolKelly"), which provides staffing and direct hire services to customers in the Asia-Pacific region.
We earn revenues from customers that procure the services of our temporary employees on a time and materials basis, that use us to recruit permanent employees, and that rely on our talent advisory and outsourcing services. Our working capital requirements are primarily generated from temporary employee payroll and customer accounts receivable. The nature of our business is such that trade accounts receivable are our most significant asset. Average days sales outstanding varies within and outside the U.S. and was 63 days on a global basis as of the end of the second quarter of 2022 and 60 days as of the end of the second quarter of 2021. Since receipts from customers generally lag temporary employee payroll, working capital requirements increase substantially in periods of growth and decline in periods of economic contraction.
Our Perspective and Outlook on Growth
We entered 2022 having shifted from recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic to growth. Even with the economic uncertainty created by events in Ukraine and a continuation of inflation, demand for our services remains strong. Our permanent placement fee growth points toward our customers’ investments in their future workforce, and increased demand in our staffing and outcome-based businesses reflects strong market demand for the specialty solutions we provide. Our business is arranged around specialties that target these areas of strong demand, promising growth opportunities, and Kelly’s proven ability to win. Our segments also reflect our intent to shift our portfolio toward high-margin, higher-value specialties that deliver a competitive edge and increased shareholder value. We believe that an aggressive inorganic growth strategy will accelerate the achievement of these goals.
As we continue our strategic growth journey in the year ahead, we will also invest in key value drivers.
•We are mapping our digital transformation journey, building a technology foundation to optimize our business, personalize the talent journey and improve the client experience. For example, in 2021 we launched Helix UX, an industry-leading talent management tool that is enabling our customers to better manage their global workforce across temporary, full-time and cloud-based talent pools.
•We are consistently striving to better understand and support our talent and their shifting needs. We have reallocated resources to be solely focused on the temporary worker experience, and our Equity@Work initiative is designed to break down long-standing, systemic barriers that make it difficult for many people to participate in the labor market.
.
•We are investing in the talent experience of our full-time employees, taking action to ensure we have the people coaches and performance management systems that will help our employees thrive in their Kelly careers. We know that our success is powered by our people, and we are aiming for industry-leading results.
As we execute our specialty growth strategy, we are focused on both the speed and scope of change. To that end, in February 2022, we completed transactions that have allowed us to strategically re-deploy resources to accelerate our growth in high-margin, high-growth specialties. Specifically, we unwound our cross-ownership with Persol Holdings and reduced our ownership interest in our APAC joint venture, PersolKelly. Monetizing our investments in Persol Holdings and PersolKelly provides us with additional capital, which we have already begun to use to accelerate our specialty growth strategy. In March 2022, we completed the acquisition of RocketPower, a business that diversifies and strengthens Kelly’s RPO business and opens new access to the fast-growing high-tech market. And in May 2022, we completed the acquisition of PTS, a specialty firm that expands our K-12 leadership position and provides in-school services for occupational, physical, speech and behavioral health therapies. Both acquisitions expand Kelly’s presence in high-growth, high margin specialties. As we move forward, we will continue to look for opportunities to grow both organically and inorganically in 2022 and beyond.

Financial Measures
The constant currency (“CC”) change amounts refer to the year-over-year percentage changes resulting from translating 2022 financial data into U.S. dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates used to translate financial data for 2021. We believe that CC measurements are a useful measure, indicating the actual trends of our operations without distortion due to currency fluctuations. We use CC results when analyzing the performance of our segments and measuring our results against those of our competitors. Additionally, substantially all of our foreign subsidiaries derive revenues and incur cost of services and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses within a single country and currency which, as a result, provides a natural hedge against currency risks in connection with their normal business operations.
CC measures are non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures and are used to supplement measures in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently from those provided by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Reported and CC percentage changes were computed based on actual amounts in thousands of dollars.
Return on sales (earnings from operations divided by revenue from services) and conversion rate (earnings from operations divided by gross profit) are ratios used to measure the Company’s operating efficiency.
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and EBITDA margin (EBITDA divided by revenue from services) are measures used for understanding the Company's ability to generate cash flow and for judging overall operating performance.
NM (not meaningful) in the following tables is used in place of percentage changes where: the change is in excess of 500%, the change involves a comparison between earnings and loss amounts, or the comparison amount is zero.
Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) represents the number of days that sales remain unpaid for the period being reported. DSO is calculated by dividing average net sales per day (based on a rolling three-month period) into trade accounts receivable, net of allowances at the period end. Although secondary supplier revenues are recorded on a net basis (net of secondary supplier expense), secondary supplier revenue is included in the daily sales calculation in order to properly reflect the gross revenue amounts billed to the customer.

Second Quarter Results
Revenue from services in the second quarter increased 0.7% on a reported basis and 2.7% on a constant currency basis, and reflects revenue increases in Education, Science, Engineering & Technology, and Outsourcing & Consulting operating segments, partially offset by declines in Professional & Industrial and International segments. Our 2022 acquisitions of RocketPower, an RPO solutions provider, and PTS, a specialty firm that provides in-school therapy services, added approximately 150 basis points to the revenue growth rate. Compared to the second quarter of 2021, revenue from staffing services decreased 2.8% and revenue from outcome-based services increased 5.9%. Permanent placement revenue, which is included in revenue from services, increased 33.2% from the prior year.
Gross profit increased 13.6% on a reported basis and 15.6% on a constant currency basis on higher revenue volume, combined with an increase in the gross profit rate. The gross profit rate increased 230 basis points due primarily to favorable product mix, and lower employee-related costs, coupled with the impact of higher permanent placement income and the acquisitions of RocketPower and PTS which generate higher margins. The gross profit rate increased in all operating segments. Permanent placement revenue, which is included in revenue from services and has very low direct costs of services, has a disproportionate impact on gross profit rates.
Total SG&A expenses increased 10.6% on a reported basis and 12.3% on a constant currency basis. SG&A expenses related to RocketPower and PTS, including intangible asset amortization expense and other operating expenses, accounted for approximately 240 basis points of the year-over-year increase. The increase in SG&A expenses also reflects higher salary and related costs, as well as increases in performance-based incentive compensation expenses.
Impairment of assets held for sale relates to our decision to transition our business in Russia in May 2022. As a result, our Russian operations have been classified as a held for sale disposal group, and an impairment loss representing the excess carrying value over the fair value of the net assets, less costs to sell, has been recognized in the second quarter of 2022. Gain on sale of assets relates to the disposition of under-utilized real property located in the United States.
34

Earnings from operations for the second quarter of 2022 totaled $8.2 million, compared to earnings of $13.7 million in the second quarter of 2021. The decline is related to the impairment of assets held for sale, partially offset by the gain on sale of assets and improving gross profit, net of higher SG&A expenses.
Income tax expense was $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2022 and income tax benefit was $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2021. The 2021 amount benefited $5.2 million from a change in United Kingdom tax rates, and from tax exempt gains on life insurance policies. The second quarter 2022 amount had no tax benefit from losses on life insurance policies and was impacted by changes in earnings from operations.
Our tax expense is affected by recurring items, such as the amount of pretax income and its mix by jurisdiction, U.S. work opportunity credits and the change in cash surrender value of tax exempt investments in life insurance policies. It is also affected by discrete items that may occur in any given period but are not consistent from period to period, such as tax law changes, changes in judgment regarding the realizability of deferred tax assets and the tax effects of stock compensation, which are treated as discrete since they cannot be estimated.
The net earnings for the period was $2.2 million, compared to net earnings of $24.0 million from the second quarter of 2021.
Recent events in Ukraine have contributed to additional economic uncertainty in Europe. The Company does not have operations in Ukraine and we did not experience any material impact on our revenues or earnings in the second quarter. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, we have completed a transaction to transfer our business in Russia to a local firm within the country and are no longer operating in Russia. Revenues and earnings in the International segment will be unfavorably impacted beginning in the third quarter of 2022, but we do not expect to incur significant additional losses upon the completion of a transaction in the third quarter.
June Year-to-Date Results
Revenue from services in the first six months of 2022 increased 4.0% on a reported basis and 5.8% on a constant currency basis, and reflects revenue increases in Education, Science, Engineering & Technology, and Outsourcing & Consulting operating segments, partially offset by declines in Professional & Industrial and International segments. Our acquisition of Softworld, a technology staffing and solutions firm in the second quarter of 2021 and our 2022 acquisitions of RocketPower, a RPO solutions provider, and PTS, a specialty firm that provides in-school therapy services, added approximately 230 basis points to the revenue growth rate. Compared to the first six months of 2021, revenue from staffing services increased 1.5% and revenue from outcome-based services increased 6.9%. Permanent placement revenue, which is included in revenue from services, increased 48.5% from the prior year.
Gross profit increased 17.3% on a reported basis and 19.0% on a constant currency basis on higher revenue volume, combined with an increase in the gross profit rate. The gross profit rate increased 230 basis points due primarily to favorable product mix, lower employee-related costs and coupled with the impact of higher permanent placement income and the acquisition of Softworld, RocketPower and PTS which generate higher gross profit rates. The gross profit rate increased in all operating segments. Included in gross profit for the first six months of 2022 is a one-time permanent placement fee from a large customer, as well as an adjustment to prior periods workers' compensation expenses, resulting in 30 basis points of favorable impact. Permanent placement revenue, which is included in revenue from services and has very low direct costs of services, has a disproportionate impact on gross profit rates.
Total SG&A expenses increased 13.4% on a reported basis and 14.8% on a constant currency basis. Approximately 370 basis points of the year-over-year increase is attributable to the first quarter SG&A expenses for Softworld and the second quarter SG&A expenses for RocketPower and PTS, including amortization of intangibles and other operating expenses. The increase in SG&A expenses also reflects increases in salary and related costs and increases in performance-based incentive compensation expenses.
Impairment of assets held for sale relates to our decision to transition our business in Russia in May 2022. As a result, our Russian operations have been classified as a held for sale disposal group and an impairment loss representing the excess carrying value over the fair value of the net assets, less costs to sell, has been recognized in the second quarter of 2022. Gain on sale of assets relates to the disposition of under-utilized real property located in the United States.
Earnings from operations for the first six months of 2022 totaled $31.6 million, compared to earnings of $24.3 million in the first six months of 2021. Improvement is due primarily to higher gross profit, net of increased SG&A expenses and gain on sale of assets, partially offset by the impairment of assets held for sale. Included in total earnings from operations in the first
35

six months of 2022 and 2021 is approximately $8.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively, related to Softworld, RocketPower and PTS earnings from operations, inclusive of amortization of intangibles.
The loss on investment in Persol Holdings in the first six months of 2022 represented the $52.4 million loss resulting from changes in the market price of our investment in the common stock of Persol Holdings up until the date of the transaction and the $14.8 million loss on sale, including transaction costs from the sale of the investment in an open-market transaction. The gain on the investment in Persol Holdings in the first six months of 2021 resulted from changes in the quoted market price of the Persol Holdings common stock.
Loss on currency translation from liquidation of subsidiary represents the impact of the substantial liquidation of our Kelly Japan subsidiary following the sale of the company’s investment in Persol Holdings and the return of capital through a dividend payment to its U.S. parent.
The change in Other income (expense), net is primarily the result of $5.5 million of foreign exchange gains related to U.S.-denominated cash equivalents held by our Kelly Japan subsidiary following the sale of the Persol Holdings shares and prior to its dividend payment to the U.S. parent in the first quarter of 2022.
Income tax benefit was $8.1 million for the first six months of 2022 and income tax expense was $7.9 million for the first six months of 2021. These amounts were impacted by changes in the fair value of the Company's investment in Persol Holdings, which resulted in a benefit of $18.4 million and a charge of $11.1 million for June year-to-date 2022 and 2021, respectively. The 2021 amount benefited $5.2 million from a change in United Kingdom tax rates, and from tax exempt gains on life insurance policies. The 2022 amounts had no tax benefit from losses on life insurance policies.
Our tax expense is affected by recurring items, such as the amount of pretax income and its mix by jurisdiction, U.S. work opportunity credits and the change in cash surrender value of tax exempt investments in life insurance policies. It is also affected by discrete items that may occur in any given period but are not consistent from period to period, such as tax law changes, changes in judgment regarding the realizability of deferred tax assets, the tax effects of stock compensation and, prior to February 2022, changes in the fair value of the Company’s investment in Persol Holdings, which were treated as discrete since they cannot be estimated.
The net loss for the period was $45.4 million, compared to net earnings of $49.6 million from the first six months of 2021. This change was due to the Persol Holdings investment, including the first quarter 2022 sale and related impacts, partially offset by improved operating earnings in the first six months of 2022.
Recent events in Ukraine have contributed to additional economic uncertainty in Europe. The Company does not have operations in Ukraine and we did not experience any material impact on our revenues or earnings. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2022, we have completed a transaction to transfer our business in Russia to a local firm within the country and are no longer operating in Russia. Revenues and earnings in the International segment will be unfavorably impacted beginning in the third quarter of 2022, but we do not expect to incur significant additional losses upon the completion of a transaction in the third quarter.

Second Quarter Results
Professional & Industrial revenue from services decreased 10.9%. The decrease was due primarily to a 14.0% decline in revenue from staffing services resulting from lower hours volume, partially offset by higher bill rates. Included in the decline in hours was the impact of a shift of a large staffing customer to a direct hire model which resulted in lower staffing volume. Revenue from outcome-based services declined by 2.7% due to lower demand for our call center specialty, partially offset by growth in other specialties.
Science, Engineering & Technology revenue from services increased 8.7%. The revenue growth was driven by increases in our outcome-based product as well as increases in bill rates and permanent placement income in our staffing specialties.
Education revenue from services increased 46.8%, reflecting an increased demand for our services as compared to a year ago, as well as the impact of the acquisition of PTS in May 2022 which added 680 basis points to the year-over-year revenue growth. Increased demand for our services reflects the return to in-school instruction as compared to the prior year, as well as new customer wins and an increased fill rate of the demand of existing customers.
Outsourcing & Consulting revenue from services increased 16.0% on a reported basis, which includes the revenue from the acquisition of RocketPower in March 2022. On an organic basis, revenue growth was 5.3% due primarily to strong demand for RPO services coupled with revenue growth in MSP, partially offset by declines in PPO revenue.
International revenue from services decreased 11.7% on a reported basis and decreased 4.3% in constant currency. The decrease was primarily the result of revenue declines in Mexico due to the impact of legislation enacted in the third quarter of 2021, which placed restrictions on the staffing industry. Revenue in Europe decreased 4.4% on a reported basis and increased 4.0% in constant currency with constant currency growth in most geographies.

Second Quarter Results
Professional & Industrial reported earnings of $10.4 million for the quarter, a 68.6% increase from a year ago. The increase in earnings was primarily due to improved gross profit and lower SG&A expense.
Science, Engineering & Technology reported earnings of $20.4 million for the quarter, a 3.8% increase from a year ago. The increase in earnings was primarily due to increases in revenues in most of our specialties within the SET business unit that were partially offset by increases in certain expenses, including those related to additional full-time employees and increased performance-based incentive compensation.
Education reported earnings of $5.6 million for the quarter, compared to earnings of $1.5 million a year ago. The change was primarily due to the increase in revenue, reflecting the return to in-school instruction, resulting in increased demand for our services as compared to a year ago, coupled with good cost management. 2022 results also include earnings of $0.9 million from PTS acquired in May 2022.
Outsourcing & Consulting reported earnings of $6.4 million for the quarter, a 34.5% increase from a year ago. The increase in earnings was primarily due to the impact of increased revenue volumes within the segment, partially offset by increased costs related to additional full-time employees. 2022 results also include earnings of $1.0 million from RocketPower acquired in March 2022.
International reported earnings of $2.6 million for the quarter, compared to earnings of $3.1 million a year ago. The decrease in earnings was primarily due to transitioning our Russian operations.
Impairment of assets held for sale relates to our decision to transition our business in Russia in May 2022. As a result, our Russian operations have been classified as a held for sale disposal group, and an impairment loss representing the excess carrying value over the fair value of the net assets, less costs to sell, has been recognized in the second quarter of 2022. Gain on sale of assets relates to the disposition of under-utilized real property located in the United States.
June Year-to-Date Results
Professional & Industrial reported earnings of $22.1 million for the first six months of 2022, a 74.2% increase from a year ago. The increase in earnings was primarily due to improved gross profit, including conversion fees related to a large customer.
Science, Engineering & Technology reported earnings of $41.0 million for the first six months of 2022, a 10.5% increase from a year ago. The increase in earnings was primarily due to the impact of the Softworld acquisition. Increases in revenues in most of our specialties within the SET business unit were partially offset by increases in certain expenses, including those related to additional full-time employees and increased performance-based incentive compensation.

Education reported earnings of $13.6 million for the first six months of 2022, compared to earnings of $4.5 million a year ago. The change was primarily due to the increase in revenue, reflecting the return to in-school instruction, resulting in increased demand for our services as compared to a year ago, coupled with good cost management. 2022 results also include earnings of $0.9 million from PTS acquired in May 2022.
Outsourcing & Consulting reported earnings of $9.4 million for the first six months of 2022, a 23.1% increase from a year ago. The increase in earnings was primarily due to the impact of increased revenue volumes within the segment, partially offset by increased costs related to additional full-time employees. 2022 results also include earnings of $1.0 million from RocketPower acquired in March 2022.
International reported earnings of $7.2 million for the first six months of 2022, compared to earnings of $5.7 million a year ago. The increase in earnings was primarily due to improving revenue, on a constant currency basis, in Europe, partially offset by the impact of transitioning our Russian operations.
Impairment of assets held for sale relates to our decision to transition our business in Russia in May 2022. As a result, our Russian operations have been classified as a held for sale disposal group, and an impairment loss representing the excess carrying value over the fair value of the net assets, less costs to sell, has been recognized in the second quarter of 2022. Gain on sale of assets relates to the disposition of under-utilized real property located in the United States.

Financial Condition
Historically, we have financed our operations through cash generated by operating activities and access to credit markets. Our working capital requirements are primarily generated from temporary employee payroll, which is generally paid weekly or monthly, and customer accounts receivable, which is generally outstanding for longer periods. Since receipts from customers lag payroll to temporary employees, working capital requirements increase substantially in periods of growth. Conversely, when economic activity slows, working capital requirements may substantially decrease. This may result in an increase in our operating cash flows; however, any such increase would not be sustainable in the event that an economic downturn continued for an extended period. The impact of the COVID-19 crisis on our business began in March 2020. While we have yet to return to pre-crisis revenue levels, we have experienced improving demand for our services and expect a sustained recovery throughout 2022.
As highlighted in the consolidated statements of cash flows, our liquidity and available capital resources are impacted by four key components: cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, operating activities, investing activities and financing activities.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, including cash held for sale, totaled $154.0 million at the end of the second quarter of 2022 and $119.5 million at year-end 2021. As further described below, we used $107.3 million of cash for operating activities, generated $175.6 million of cash from investing activities and used $33.9 million of cash for financing activities.
Operating Activities
In the first six months of 2022, we used $107.3 million of net cash for operating activities, as compared to generating $47.6 million in the first six months of 2021, primarily due to increased working capital requirements as revenue levels continue to recover or surpass pre-COVID levels in certain segments and as a result, in increasing days sales outstanding. As of the end of the second quarter of 2022, Global DSO has increased primarily as a result of an increase in the mix of MSP and other customers with extended terms and, to a lesser extent, the timing of customer payments. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities was $734.7 million and increased from year-end 2021 as a result of increased MSP supplier payables. In addition, we paid $50.1 million of income taxes related to the sale of Persol Holdings common stock in 2022.
Trade accounts receivable totaled $1.5 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2022. Global DSO was 63 days at the end of the second quarter of 2022, 60 days at year-end 2021 and 60 days at the end of the second quarter of 2021.
Our working capital position (total current assets less total current liabilities) was $576.0 million at the end of the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $82.5 million from year-end 2021. Excluding the increase in cash, working capital increased $61.3 million from year-end 2021. The current ratio (total current assets divided by total current liabilities) was 1.5 at the end of the second quarter of 2022 and at year-end 2021.
Investing Activities
In the first six months of 2022, we generated $175.6 million of cash from investing activities, as compared to using $201.7 million in the first six months of 2021. Included in cash generated from investing activities in the first six months of 2022 is $196.9 million of proceeds from the sale of the investment in Persol Holdings and $119.5 million of proceeds from the sale of almost all of the Company's shares in our equity investment in PersolKelly. This was partially offset by $58.3 million of cash used for the acquisition of RocketPower in March 2022, net of cash received and $84.8 million of cash used for the acquisition of PTS in May 2022, net of cash received. Included in cash used for investing activities in the first six months of 2021 is $219.0 million of cash used for the acquisition of Softworld in April 2021, net of cash received.
Financing Activities
In the first six months of 2022, we used $33.9 million of cash for financing activities, as compared to using $1.0 million in the first six months of 2021. The change in cash used for financing activities was primarily related to the buyback of the Company's common shares held by Persol Holdings for $27.2 million in the first six months of 2022 and the year-over-year change in dividend payments. Dividends paid per common share were $0.125 in the first six months of 2022 and $0.00 in first six months of 2021.
Changes in net cash used for financing activities are also impacted by short-term borrowing activities. There was no change in short-term borrowings in the first six months of 2022. The change in short-term borrowings in the first six months of 2021 was primarily due to payments on local lines of credit. There was no debt at the end of the second quarter of 2022 and at year-end 2021. Debt-to-total capital (total debt reported in the consolidated balance sheet divided by total debt plus stockholders’ equity)
45

is a common ratio to measure the relative capital structure and leverage of the Company. Our ratio of debt-to-total capital was 0.0% at the end of the second quarter of 2022 and at year-end 2021.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See New Accounting Pronouncements footnote in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of new accounting pronouncements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
There were no significant changes to our contractual obligations and commercial commitments from those disclosed in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2021 Form 10-K. We have no material unrecorded commitments, losses, contingencies or guarantees associated with any related parties or unconsolidated entities.
Liquidity
We expect to meet our ongoing short-term and long-term cash requirements principally through cash generated from operations, available cash and equivalents, securitization of customer receivables and committed unused credit facilities. Additional funding sources could include asset-based lending, additional bank facilities or sale of non-core assets. To meet significant cash requirements related to our nonqualified retirement plan, we may utilize proceeds from Company-owned life insurance policies. During 2020, cash generated from operations was supplemented by the deferral of payments of the Company's U.S. social security taxes as allowed by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act. We have repaid $59.4 million, including $29.5 million in the first quarter of 2022 and the remaining deferrals of $57.6 million are required to be repaid by January 3, 2023.
We utilize intercompany loans, dividends, capital contributions and redemptions to effectively manage our cash on a global basis. We periodically review our foreign subsidiaries’ cash balances and projected cash needs. As part of those reviews, we may identify cash that we feel should be repatriated to optimize the Company’s overall capital structure. As of the end of the second quarter of 2022, these reviews have not resulted in specific plans to repatriate a majority of our international cash balances. We expect much of our international cash will be needed to fund working capital growth in our local operations as working capital needs, primarily trade accounts receivable, increase during periods of growth. A cash pooling arrangement (the “Cash Pool”) is available to fund general corporate needs internationally. The Cash Pool is a set of cash accounts maintained with a single bank that must, as a whole, maintain at least a zero balance; individual accounts may be positive or negative. This allows countries with excess cash to invest and countries with cash needs to utilize the excess cash.
As of the second quarter of 2022, we had $200.0 million of available capacity on our $200.0 million revolving credit facility and $97.0 million of available capacity on our $150.0 million securitization facility. The securitization facility carried no short-term borrowings and $53.0 million of standby letters of credit related to workers’ compensation. Together, the revolving credit and securitization facilities provide the Company with committed funding capacity that may be used for general corporate purposes subject to financial covenants and restrictions. While we believe these facilities will cover our working capital needs over the short term, if economic conditions or operating results change significantly from our current expectations, we may need to seek additional sources of funds. As of the end of the second quarter of 2022, we met the debt covenants related to our revolving credit facility and securitization facility.
We have historically managed our cash and debt closely to optimize our capital structure. As our cash balances build, we tend to pay down debt as appropriate. Conversely, when working capital needs grow, we tend to use corporate cash and cash available in the Cash Pool first, and then access our borrowing facilities. We expect our working capital requirements to increase over the next several quarters if demand for our services continues to increase and to pay the remaining deferred payroll tax balances noted above by January 3, 2023.
In February 2022, we completed transactions to monetize a substantial portion of our assets in the Asia-Pacific region which will allow us to strategically redeploy resources to accelerate our growth. Specifically, we concluded our cross-shareholding arrangement with Persol Holdings and reduced our ownership interest in PersolKelly, our APAC joint venture. We sold our investment in Persol Holdings common stock in an open-market transaction. We repurchased the 1.6 million Kelly Class A and 1,475 Kelly Class B common shares owned by Persol Holdings at a price based on the last five trading days prior to the
46

transaction. We sold almost all of our ownership interest in PersolKelly to our joint venture partner. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company paid $50.1 million in taxes resulting from the sale of the Persol Holdings shares.
We monitor the credit ratings of our major banking partners on a regular basis and have regular discussions with them. Based on our reviews and communications, we believe the risk of one or more of our banks not being able to honor commitments is insignificant. We also review the ratings and holdings of our money market funds and other investment vehicles regularly to ensure high credit quality and access to our invested cash.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this report and in our investor conference call related to these results are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the applicable securities laws and regulations. Forward-looking statements include statements which are predictive in nature, which depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or which include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” or variations or negatives thereof or by similar or comparable words or phrases. In addition, any statements concerning future financial performance (including future revenues, earnings or growth rates), ongoing business strategies or prospects, and possible future actions by us that may be provided by management, including oral statements or other written materials released to the public, are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about our Company and economic and market factors in the countries in which we do business, among other things. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we have no specific intention to update these statements.
Actual events and results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors. The principal important risk factors that could cause our actual performance and future events and actions to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, changing market and economic conditions, the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, competitive market pressures including pricing and technology introductions and disruptions, disruption in the labor market and weakened demand for human capital resulting from technological advances, competition law risks, the impact of changes in laws and regulations (including federal, state and international tax laws), unexpected changes in claim trends on workers’ compensation, unemployment, disability and medical benefit plans, or the risk of additional tax liabilities in excess of our estimates, our ability to achieve our business strategy, our ability to successfully develop new service offerings, material changes in demand from or loss of large corporate customers as well as changes in their buying practices, risks particular to doing business with government or government contractors, the risk of damage to our brand, our exposure to risks associated with services outside traditional staffing, including business process outsourcing, services of licensed professionals and services connecting talent to independent work, our increasing dependency on third parties for the execution of critical functions, our ability to effectively implement and manage our information technology strategy, the risks associated with past and future acquisitions, including risk of related impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, risks associated with conducting business in foreign countries, including foreign currency fluctuations, risks associated with violations of anticorruption, trade protection and other laws and regulations, availability of qualified full-time employees, availability of temporary workers with appropriate skills required by customers, liabilities for employment-related claims and losses, including class action lawsuits and collective actions, our ability to sustain critical business applications through our key data centers, risks arising from failure to preserve the privacy of information entrusted to us or to meet our obligations under global privacy laws, the risk of cyberattacks or other breaches of network or information technology security, our ability to realize value from our tax credit and net operating loss carryforwards, our ability to maintain specified financial covenants in our bank facilities to continue to access credit markets, and other risks, uncertainties and factors discussed in this report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to foreign currency risk primarily related to our foreign subsidiaries. Exchange rates impact the U.S. dollar value of our reported earnings, our investments in and held by subsidiaries, local currency denominated borrowings and intercompany transactions with and between subsidiaries. Our foreign subsidiaries primarily derive revenues and incur expenses within a single country and currency which, as a result, provide a natural hedge against currency risks in connection with normal business operations. Accordingly, changes in foreign currency rates vs. the U.S. dollar, euro or Swiss franc generally do not impact local cash flows. Intercompany transactions which create foreign currency risk include services, royalties, loans, contributions and distributions.
In addition, we are exposed to interest rate risks through our use of the multi-currency line of credit and other borrowings. A hypothetical fluctuation of 10% of market interest rates would not have had a material impact on 2022 second quarter earnings.
We are exposed to market risk as a result of our obligation to pay benefits under our nonqualified deferred compensation plan and our related investments in company-owned variable universal life insurance policies. The obligation to employees increases and decreases based on movements in the equity and debt markets. The investments in mutual funds, as part of the Company-owned variable universal life insurance policies, are designed to mitigate, but not eliminate, this risk with offsetting gains and losses.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective at a reasonable assurance level.
On March 7, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of RocketPower and on May 2, 2022 our KSU subsidiary completed the acquisition of PTS (see Acquisitions footnote). Under guidelines established by the SEC, companies are permitted to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of internal control over financial reporting during the first year of an acquisition while integrating the acquired company. Accordingly, we intend to exclude the acquired RocketPower and PTS businesses from our assessment and report on internal control over financial reporting for the year ending January 1, 2023. We are in the process of integrating RocketPower and PTS into our system of internal control over financial reporting.
Except as noted above, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The Company is continuously engaged in litigation, threatened ligation, claims, audits or investigations arising in the ordinary course of its business, such as matters alleging employment discrimination, wage and hour violations, claims for indemnification or liability, violations of privacy rights, anti-competition regulations, commercial and contractual disputes, and tax-related matters which could result in a material adverse outcome. We record accruals for loss contingencies when we believe it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and in accrued workers’ compensation and other claims in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company maintains insurance coverage which may cover certain claims. When claims exceed the applicable policy deductible and realization of recovery of the claim from existing insurance policies is deemed probable, the Company records receivables from the insurance company for the excess amount, which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet.
While the outcome of these matters currently pending cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of any such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2018, the Hungarian Competition Authority initiated proceedings against the Company, along with a local industry trade association and its members, due to alleged infringement of national competition regulations. The Authority announced its decision on December 18, 2020, levying a fine against the trade association with joint and several secondary liability placed on the 20 member companies. Certain member companies exercised their right to challenge the decision. Publication of the judgement by the court will impact the apportionment of secondary liability initially announced by the Competition Authority. However, the Company does not believe that resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes in the Company's risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2022.
