Kelly Services reported weaker first-quarter 2026 results, swinging to a loss as demand softened across segments. Revenue from services fell 10.7% to $1,040.7 million, with Enterprise Talent Management, Science, Engineering & Technology, and Education all declining. Gross profit dropped 17.0% and the gross margin slipped to 18.9% from 20.3% as higher employee-related costs pressured profitability.

Operating cash flow reversed to an outflow of $25.4 million from an inflow of $23.9 million, reflecting higher working capital needs. Kelly ended the quarter with $29.5 million in cash, $130.5 million of long-term borrowings under its $250.0 million securitization facility, and full availability on its $150.0 million revolving credit facility, maintaining liquidity while continuing integration, realignment and technology modernization initiatives.
