ManpowerGroup Greater China reports strong interim growth despite market challenges

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, ManpowerGroup Greater China reported total revenue of RMB3,418,285 thousand, a 15.9% increase from RMB2,948,453 thousand in the same period of 2024. Profit attributable to owners of the company rose by 14.6% to RMB62,332 thousand, up from RMB54,391 thousand. Adjusted profit attributable to owners saw a 5.9% increase to RMB66,872 thousand.

The growth was primarily driven by the flexible staffing business in Mainland China, which experienced a 21.2% increase in revenue. However, recruitment solutions revenue decreased by 16.8% due to sluggish market demand. The Group's total number of associates placed increased by 20.4% to 47,800. Earnings per share for the period stood at RMB0.31.

The board has proposed an interim dividend of HK$1.6 per ordinary share, amounting to approximately HK$332 million, to be paid in September 2025. This reflects the company’s sustained financial performance and commitment to shareholder returns amidst a cautious outlook for the latter half of the year.
