1 The prior year period included various adjustments which reduced earnings per share by $2.22 in the second quarter which are also excluded when determining the year over year adjusted trend.
we delivered strong results with revenues ahead of expectations. Results reflect good execution across our brands and markets, continued cost discipline and improving demand. We are leveraging our scale and diversified platform and focusing commercial efforts on verticals that offer the greatest opportunities to win and capture share. We saw very strong growth in our Manpower brand and improving trends across Experis and Talent Solutions.
Throughout the quarter, we advanced our global strategic transformation program and expanded AI capabilities that improve productivity and unlock new higher-value solutions through critical strategic partnerships.
