What remains is the residual overhead line, on the same footing for all 14 peers. Every adjustment traceable to the 10-K. Each bar is one peer.

ManpowerGroup Inc. SG&A versus peers, in text

ManpowerGroup Inc. (MAN) reports revenue of $17,957 million. On a normalized basis its SG&A runs 15.7% of revenue, against a median of 27.7% across 13 Staffing & Employment Services peers; 10 of the 13 run heavier. Reported SG&A less the disclosed lines that distort comparison: advertising, R&D, pension, stock-based compensation, restructuring and one-time items, plus logistics reclassed where filers park it in SG&A.

Disclosed lines held outside the normalized figure: Advertising 0.2% of revenue (10 of 14 companies disclose it); Stock-based comp 0.1% of revenue (13 of 14 companies disclose it).

Over 10 years (FY2016 to FY2025), ManpowerGroup Inc.'s total shareholder return was -56% against +77% for the peer composite; SG&A contributed -33.9 points of that return.
