MINNEAPOLIS — November 1, 2012 — Analysts International Corporation (AIC) (Nasdaq: ANLY), an information technology services company, today announced financial results for the third quarter 2012, which ended on September 29, 2012.

AIC reported 2012 third quarter revenue of $26.5 million as compared to 2011 third quarter revenue of $28.9 million. AIC reported 2012 a third quarter net loss of $0.6 million, or $0.13 per share, compared to 2011 third quarter net income of $1.8 million, or $0.36 per share.

“We are disappointed with the third quarter loss, which was primarily due to unanticipated project-related charges and bad debt write-offs,” said Brittany McKinney, AIC President and CEO. “We did not generate the income needed to offset these charges. Adjusting for these items, we would have reported revenue and profit for third quarter at the low end of our guidance range.”

McKinney added, “Despite the third quarter challenges, we continue to see growth, penetration and client retention in the majority of our strategic accounts and are also winning new business—both positive signs for the future. We remain committed to focusing on strategic accounts and driving higher value engagements as we continue to move AIC forward.”

2012 Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Review

Revenues decreased $2.4 million, or 8.2%, in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011. For the first nine months of 2012, revenues decreased $1.7 million, or 2.1%, to $80.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2011. When compared to the prior year quarter, the decrease in revenues reflects a 2.2% decrease in average billing rates, a 4.1% decrease in the number of hours billed, and a decrease in permanent placement fees and other revenues. Additionally, revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 were negatively impacted by unanticipated project-related revenue adjustments on two specific client engagements. The decrease in revenue for the first nine months of the year versus 2011 reflects a 0.3% reduction in average billing rates, a 0.9% decrease in the number of hours billed, and a decrease to permanent placement and other revenues. There were 63 billing days in both the third quarter of 2012 and 2011 and 191 billing days during the first nine months of 2012 compared with 192 billing days during the first nine months of 2011.

In the third quarter of 2012, gross profit was $5.6 million compared to $7.2 million in the third quarter of 2011. The gross margin rate was 21.0% for third quarter of 2012 compared to 25.0% for the third quarter of 2011. In the first nine months of 2012, gross profit was $18.2 million, or 22.7% of revenues, as compared to $19.7 million of gross profit, or 24.0% of revenues, for the first nine months of 2011.

Selling, administrative and other operating expenses increased $0.8 million, or 14.5%, in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011, and by $1.1 million, or 6.5%, in the first nine months of 2012, compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2011. The increase in SG&A expense is primarily the result of expanding our sales and recruiting capacity and increased bad debt expense. Additionally, the prior year quarter included a final earn-out benefit of $0.3 million associated with the sale of a business in fiscal 2008.

The Company’s income tax expense reflects the utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable income in fiscal 2012 and 2011. We currently have $25.2 million of taxable benefit associated with the operating loss carryforwards available to offset future federal and state taxes.

In the third quarter of 2012, we generated cash from operations of $1.3 million compared to $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2011. As of September 29, 2012, we had a cash balance of $4.5 million and no borrowings under our credit facility.

Outlook

For the fourth quarter of 2012, AIC projects a revenue decline of between 2%-6% compared to fourth quarter of 2011. The Company projects a gross margin rate in the range of 22%-24% of revenue and EBITDA margin in the range of 1%-3% of revenue. Primarily as a result of the lower third quarter financial performance, the Company projects a full year revenue decline in the range of 2%-3%

compared with fiscal year 2011, gross margin in the range of 22%-23% and EBITDA in the range of 0.8%-1.3%.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP Financial Measures

(unaudited)

* Non-GAAP Financial Information

In evaluating the Company’s business, the Company’s management considers and uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA refers to a financial measure that the Company defines as net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes, depreciation, share-based compensation, special charges and other gains and losses that are not related to the Company’s operations. This measure is an essential component of the Company’s internal planning process because it facilitates period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s operating performance by eliminating potential differences in net income (loss) caused by the existence and timing of certain non-cash items, special charges and other gains and losses. This measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measure included in this press release has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure.
