** The Swiss staffing company's Q3 organic revenues came in at 5.7 billion euros, down 4% y/y and below market expectations of 5.81 billion euros according to a company-provided consensus
** Q3 earnings before interest, tax and amortisation (EBITA) came in at 186 million euros, down 20% in constant currency y/y and below market expectations of 192 million euros
** Share price fell to 25.14 Swiss francs ($29.13) at 0840 GMT, trading at their lowest price since April 1996
