Kforce Reports Revenue of $241.0 Million and EPS of $0.19 Before Impairment Charge for the Fourth Quarter of 2008




 * Fourth Quarter Net Income of $7.4 Million, or $0.19 Per Share,
   Excluding Impairment Charge
 * Records Non-Cash Impairment Charge of $115.2 Million, After Tax

TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 10, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kforce Inc. (Nasdaq:KFRC), a provider of professional staffing services and solutions, today announced results for its fourth quarter of 2008. For the quarter ended December 31, 2008, revenue from continuing operations was $241.0 million, a decrease of 2.4% over the quarter ended December 31, 2007 and 4.0% over the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Excluding the non-cash goodwill and other intangible assets impairment charge recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2008, Kforce reported net income of $7.4 million, or $0.19 per share, versus $10.0 million, or $0.24 per share, in the comparable quarter in 2007, which represents a year-over-year decline of 26.2% in net income and 20.8% in earnings per share. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 was $7.9 million, or $0.20 per share.

Excluding the non-cash goodwill and other intangible assets impairment charge, Kforce reported net income of $31.1 million, or $0.78 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2008, versus net income of $40.4 million and $0.95 per share for 2007 representing a year-over-year decline of 22.9% in net income and 17.9% in earnings per share.

Kforce also announced that it has recorded a non-cash goodwill and other intangible assets impairment charge (the "impairment charge") in the fourth quarter of 2008 of $129.4 million on a pre-tax basis. The income tax benefit associated with this impairment charge was $14.2 million resulting in an after-tax charge to net income of $115.2 million. On a GAAP basis, Kforce reported a net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 of $107.9 million, or $2.81 loss per share, and a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 of $84.1 million, or $2.13 loss per share.

The impairment charge results primarily from the impact that the unprecedented economic environment, including the turmoil in financial and credit markets, and increasing jobless claims and unemployment rates have had on overall equity values as well as on our operations, forecasted cash flows and market capitalization. Kforce does not expect the impairment charge to result in any cash expenditures and it is not expected to affect Kforce's cash position, cash flow from operating activities, liquidity position or availability under its Credit Facility, nor does it have any effect on current or future operations of Kforce.

"The Firm delivered solid performance in the fourth quarter during a period where there continued to be extraordinary concerns and significant deterioration in the macroeconomic environment," said David L. Dunkel, Chairman and CEO. Mr. Dunkel continued, "While there remains uncertainty about the length and depth of this recession, we believe the secular drivers for professional staffing and solutions remain intact. We have made and will continue to make adjustments as necessary to put Kforce in a position to perform well as we navigate through this recession and for continued strong performance as the economy improves. We believe Kforce has an experienced management team and a strong balance sheet, which allows us to be flexible from an operational and financial standpoint. During this phase of the economic cycle, our priorities are to maintain positive cash flow and retain the highly talented people that are the lifeblood of our future success. We will continue to use cash flow for debt retirement, share repurchases and acquisitions that meet very high thresholds as was the case with the recent acquisition of dNovus RDI, which we believe is a significant enhancement to our Government Solutions' revenue footprint in the federal government sector. We are pleased to have crossed the $100 million annualized revenue threshold in the government sector, which we believe gives us a scalable platform for sustained growth. We also believe that our concerted efforts to maintain a professional staffing and solutions revenue stream that is almost entirely domestic and well-diversified from a client perspective has positioned Kforce well for the future."

William L. Sanders, President, said, "Our vision is to be the Firm most respected by those we serve. A key aspect of our vision is building a Firm that delivers sustainable and consistent revenue and earnings performance. From our experience in past recessions, we believe we have carefully managed the risks to our revenue stream, particularly in permanent placement. We believe that steps taken during the past six years have prepared the Firm for this economic down cycle. We believe our mix of service offerings has a significantly lower exposure to economic pressures than during the last down cycle. We have exited businesses that were not aligned with our operating model. It also appears that clients have been more rational in their hiring during the past up cycle, particularly in Technology. In addition, the completion of our upgraded technology platform, the creation of our centralized National Recruiting Center and the implementation of a volume account strategy have, we believe, enhanced operating leverage and positioned the Firm well."

Mr. Sanders noted additional operational highlights of the fourth quarter include:



 * Flex revenue of $228.2 million decreased 3.1% from $235.4 million
   in Q3 '08 and decreased 0.5% from $229.3 million in Q4 '07,

 * Search revenue of $12.8 million decreased 17.5% from $15.5 million
   in Q3 '08 and decreased 27.6% from $17.7 million in Q4 '07,

 * Flex revenue per billing day of $3.7 million in Q4 '08 was flat
   with Q3 '08 and decreased 2.1% from $3.8 million in Q4 '07,

 * Flex revenue per billing day in Q4 '08 by segment was $2.0 million
   for Technology, $0.6 million for F&A, $0.7 million for HLS and $0.3
   million for Government Solutions. Sequential percentage changes on
   a billing day basis by segment were 2.1% increase for Technology,
   5.0% decrease for F&A, 6.5% decrease for HLS and an 15.3% increase
   for Government Solutions,

 * Flex gross profit declined sequentially 40 basis points to 29.8% in
   Q4 '08 from 30.2% in Q3 '08 and 110 basis points from 30.9% in
   Q4 '07.

Joe Liberatore, Chief Financial Officer said, "During these unprecedented times and as we head into 2009, we are very pleased with our revenue footprint and strength of our balance sheet. Our working capital at the end of 2008 is $60.3 million and our current ratio is 1.7. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of '08, the Board of Directors increased its authorization to repurchase up to $75 million in Kforce common stock."

Financial highlights for 2008:



 * Total revenue from continuing operations for 2008 was $997.0
   million, an increase of 2.5% from $972.8 million in 2007,

 * Earnings per share before the impact of equity based compensation
   expense and impairment charge for 2008 was $0.84, an 11.6% decrease
   from $0.95 in 2007,

 * Cash flows from operating activities for 2008 of $89.3 million
   increased 83.2% from $48.8 million in 2007,

 * During 2008, we repurchased 4.5 million shares of common stock at a
   total cost of $37.9 million with $74.8 million remaining under
   current Board authorizations as of December 31, 2008,

 * After taking into account the share repurchases and acquisition of
   dNovus RDI in December 2008, bank debt at the end of Q4 '08 was
   $38.0 million, reflecting a reduction of $12.3 million from $50.3
   million at the end of 2007.

Mr. Liberatore continued, "Looking forward to the first quarter of 2009 we expect revenue may be in the $226 million to $235 million range, and earnings per share in the range of $0.05 to $0.09 which reflects an impact of approximately $0.05 per share of payroll tax related costs."

 Adjusted Net Income and Earnings Per Share, a non-GAAP financial
 measure, is defined as net income before the non-cash impairment
 charges related to goodwill and intangible assets. Adjusted Net
 Income should not be considered a measure of financial performance
 under generally accepted accounting principles and has been provided
 for consistency and comparability of the 2008 results with net income
 and earnings per share from prior periods.

 (*) This earnings per share adjustment is necessary to properly
 reconcile net loss per share on a GAAP basis to Adjusted Net Income
 per share. Earnings Per Share Before Impairment Charge, a non-GAAP   
 financial measure, is based on Net Income Before Impairment 
 Charge and diluted weighted average shares outstanding; however, the
 reconciling items within the table above are based on basic weighted 
 average shares outstanding, as the inclusion of dilutive securities
 such as stock options and stock awards would have an anti-dilutive
 effect on loss per share.

 Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as
 earnings before income (loss) from discontinued operations, non-cash
 impairment charges, interest, income taxes, depreciation and
 amortization and amortization of stock-based compensation expense.
 Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial
 performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Items
 excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in
 understanding and assessing financial performance.

(*) This earnings per share adjustment is necessary to properly reconcile
 net loss per share on a GAAP basis to Adjusted EBITDA per share.  
 Adjusted EBITDA Per Share, a non-GAAP financial measure, is based on
 Adjusted EBITDA and diluted weighted average shares outstanding;
 however, the reconciling items within the table above are based on basic
 weighted average shares outstanding, as the inclusion of dilutive
 securities such as stock options and stock awards would have an anti-
 dilutive effect on loss per share.

 "Net Income before Equity-Based Compensation Expense and Impairment
 Charge", a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as income from
 continuing operations, excluding non-cash impairment charges, before
 compensation expense incurred in conjunction with awards accounted for
 under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R "Share-Based
 Payment" ("SFAS 123R"). SFAS 123R requires Kforce to measure the cost of
 employee services received in exchange for an equity based award based
 on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions).
 That cost is recognized over the period in which the employee is
 required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is usually
 the vesting period.

 Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Income before
 Equity-Based Compensation Expense and Impairment Charge are key measures
 used by management to evaluate its operations and to provide useful
 information to investors. These measures should not be considered in
 isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows data or
 other financial statement information presented in the consolidated
 financial statements as indicators of financial performance or
 liquidity. These measurements are not determined in accordance with
 generally accepted accounting principles and are thus susceptible to
 varying calculations. The measures as presented may not be
 comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
