CALABASAS, Calif., July 26, 2012 -- On Assignment, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASGN), a diversified professional staffing firm providing flexible and permanent staffing solutions in specialty skills including Life Sciences, Healthcare, Physician and Information Technology and Engineering, today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Second Quarter 2012 Highlights

Revenues for the second quarter of 2012 were $283.2 million, including $99.0 million from Apex Systems which was acquired on May 15th. Revenues were up 97 percent year-over-year and up 70 percent from the preceding quarter.
Revenue growth (excluding the acquisition of Apex Systems) was 28 percent over the second quarter of 2011.
Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measurement defined below) was $32.3 million, up 118 percent year-over-year.
Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of revenues) for the quarter was 11.4 percent compared with 10.3 percent in the second quarter of 2011.
Net Income was $8.5 million, or $0.19 per diluted share and $13.0 million or $0.28 per diluted share excluding acquisition related costs (net of income tax).
Commenting on the results for the second quarter, Peter Dameris, President and Chief Executive Officer of On Assignment, Inc., said, “I’m very pleased with our results for the second quarter of 2012. Our revenue almost doubled year-over-year and net income before acquisition related costs, as well as our Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled. Apex accounted for $99 million of our second quarter revenues and our other business grew 28 percent year-over-year. We are very pleased that our efforts during the quarter continue to demonstrate our operating discipline in that we were able to complete an acquisition that roughly doubled the size of the Company while at the same time achieving above market growth in our other businesses.”




“Our second quarter results reflect our expected income contribution from the Apex acquisition.” Dameris continued, “In addition, these results, which included expansion of our operating margins, were not impacted by any synergy savings from the acquisition of Apex.”
Dameris concluded, “We will continue to maintain our operational discipline, as we have demonstrated in the past, by growing our market share without sacrificing our margins. The inclusion of Apex, together with continued growth of our other businesses, will significantly increase our free cash flow generation allowing us to focus on reducing our outstanding debt. During the second quarter, we repaid $23.4 million of our debt and reduced total leverage from 3.79 times trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA to under 3.4 times.”
Jim Brill, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of On Assignment, Inc., stated, “Consolidated gross margin was 31.4% in the second quarter of 2012. Oxford’s gross margin was 35.9%, Apex System’s gross margin was 27.3%, Life Sciences’ gross margin was 34.1%, Healthcare’s gross margin was 28.8% and Physician Staffing’s gross margin was 30.8%.”

Second Quarter 2012 Results

For the second quarter of 2012, consolidated revenues were $283.2 million, up 97.1 percent year-over-year and up 69.5 percent on a sequential basis. Apex, which was acquired on May 15, 2012, accounted for $99.0 in revenues for the quarter. Net income was $8.5 million, or $0.19 per diluted share. Excluding acquisition related expenses of $6.6 million ($3.8 million net of income tax) and the write off of deferred loan costs and non-recurring financing costs of $1.2 million together totaling $4.5 million after income tax, net income was $13.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared with $6.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2011.

Oxford, the legacy IT and Engineering segment revenues were up 35 percent, year-over-year. The Life Sciences segment revenues were up 2% year-over-year, the Healthcare segment which includes Nurse Travel and Allied Healthcare lines of business, grew 40% from the second quarter of 2011. Nurse Travel revenues were $16.8 million and included $5.3 million of revenue related to supporting customers that experienced labor disruption as compared to $0.9 million in labor disruption revenue in the same period in the prior year. Allied Healthcare revenues were up 26 percent year-over-year and Physician segment revenues, which were positively affected by the acquisition of Healthcare Partners in 2011, was up 47% from the second quarter of 2011.

SG&A was $69.3 million which included $6.6 million of acquisition related expenses, $1.6 million of depreciation, $2.2 million of amortization $2.3 million in equity based compensation and $0.5 million of income related to the adjustment of an acquisition related earn-out. Capital expenditures were $5.3 million, interest expense was $4.9 million which included the write-off of $1.2 million of deferred loan costs and non-recurring financing fees.
 




Third Quarter 2012 Financial Estimates

Based on revenue in the first three weeks of the second quarter, On Assignment is providing financial estimates for the quarter ending September 30, 2012 which do not include any acquisition related costs. Those estimates are as follows:

Revenues of $382 million to $388 million
Gross Margin of 30.3% to 30.6%
SG&A of $84 million which includes $1.9 million in depreciation, amortization of $3.8 million and $2.8 million in equity-based compensation expense
Adjusted EBITDA of $40.3 million to $43.2 million
Net income of $14.8 million to $16.5 million
Earnings per diluted share of $0.28 to $0.31
Diluted shares outstanding of 53 million

The estimates assume one less billable day in the third quarter than the second quarter and year-over-year revenue growth ranges in the high 20 percent for Oxford, a slight contraction for Life Sciences, low single digits for Healthcare (due to the labor disruption revenue in Nurse Travel in the 3rd quarter of 2011) and the low teens for Physician Staffing and Apex. The estimates above assume no deterioration in the staffing markets On Assignment serves.

Reasons for Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Statements made in this release and the Supplemental Financial Information accompanying this release include non-GAAP financial measures. Such information is provided as additional information, not as an alternative to our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, and is intended to enhance an overall understanding of our current financial performance. The Supplemental Financial Information sets forth financial measures reviewed by our management to evaluate our operating performance. Such measures also are used to determine a portion of the compensation for some of our executives and employees. We believe the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management, investors and prospective investors by excluding certain charges and other amounts that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. These non-GAAP measures are included to provide management, our investors and prospective investors with an alternative method for assessing our operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of our ongoing operations and to provide a more consistent basis for comparison between quarters. One of the non-GAAP financial measures presented is EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of identifiable intangible assets), other terms include Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA plus equity-based compensation expense, impairment charges and acquisition related costs) and Net Income Before Acquisition Related Costs (Net Income plus acquisition related expenses, deferred financing fees written –off and non-recurring financing fees, net of tax). These terms might not be calculated in the same manner as, and thus might not be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The financial statement tables that accompany this press release include reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Safe Harbor
Certain statements made in this news release are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and involve a high degree of risk and uncertainty. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding the Company’s anticipated financial and operating performance in 2012. All statements in this release, other than those setting forth strictly historical information, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results might differ materially. In particular, the Company makes no assurances that the estimates of revenues, gross margin, SG&A, Adjusted EBITDA, net income, earnings per share or earnings per diluted share set forth above will be achieved. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include actual demand for our services, our ability to attract, train and retain qualified staffing consultants, our ability to remain competitive in obtaining and retaining temporary staffing clients, the availability of qualified temporary nurses and other qualified temporary professionals, management of our growth, continued performance of our enterprise-wide information systems, and other risks detailed from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as filed with the SEC on March 14, 2012 and our Form 10Q for the period ended March 31, 2012, as filed with the SEC on May 9, 2012. We specifically disclaim any intention or duty to update any forward-looking statements contained in this news release.
