On Assignment Reports Results for First Quarter of 2016
Revenues, Adjusted EPS & Adjusted EBITDA above Previously Announced Estimates
Pro Forma Revenue Growth of 17.7 Percent
Fourth Consecutive Quarter Year-over-Year Revenue Growth Rate Up over Preceding Quarter


CALABASAS, Calif., April 27, 2016 -- On Assignment, Inc. (NYSE: ASGN), a leading global provider of diversified professional staffing solutions, today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

First Quarter Highlights
Revenues were $582.0 million up 17.7 percent year-over-year on a pro forma basis. Pro forma results assume the acquisitions of Creative Circle, LLC ("Creative Circle") and a small Life Sciences business in Europe (the "Acquisitions") occurred at the beginning of 2015.
Revenues, excluding the contribution from the Acquisitions, were $502.7 million, up 16.9 percent year-over-year.
Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure defined below) was $62.4 million, or 10.7 percent of revenues.
Adjusted income from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure defined below) was $35.4 million ($0.66 per diluted share).
Leverage ratio (total indebtedness to trailing 12 months Adjusted EBITDA) was 2.80 to 1 at March 31, 2016, down from 3.02 to 1 at December 31, 2015.

Commenting on the results, Peter Dameris, President and Chief Executive Officer of On Assignment, Inc., said, "Over the last three years, we significantly increased the value of our company  by expanding our service offerings and strengthening our capitalization. Because of these actions, we have better positioned our company to service a dynamic and ever changing IT Services marketplace. Few companies have our scale, reach or ability to serve customer’s IT services needs from infrastructure to creation to monetization of new digital initiatives."

Dameris concluded, "We believe the next five years will permit the IT services industry to flourish because of demand for new digital/technology skills and continued secular changes in the U.S. labor markets that have altered how technology solutions are developed and deployed."

First Quarter 2016 Financial Results

Revenues for the quarter were $582.0 million, up 35.3 percent year-over-year on an as reported basis.

Reasons for Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Statements in this release and the accompanying Supplemental Financial Information 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 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("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 intangible assets), other terms include Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA plus equity-based compensation expense, impairment charges, write-off of loan costs, and acquisition, integration and strategic planning expenses) and Non-GAAP income from continuing operations (Income from continuing operations, plus write-off of loan costs, and acquisition, integration and strategic planning expenses, net of tax) and Adjusted income from continuing operations and related per share amounts. 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 a 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 2016. 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, income from continuing operations, Adjusted income from continuing operations and related per share amounts, 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 professionals, management of our growth, continued performance of our enterprise-wide information systems, our ability to manage our potential or actual litigation matters, the successful integration of our recently acquired subsidiaries, the successful implementation of our five-year strategic plan, and other risks detailed from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the SEC on February 29, 2016. We specifically disclaim any intention or duty to update any forward-looking statements contained in this news release.

The change in present value due to the passage of time (accretion of fair value discount) is recorded in interest expense.

Non-GAAP income from continuing operations as calculated on preceding page. Non-GAAP income from continuing operations excludes the write-off of loan costs, and acquisition, integration and strategic planning expenses.
(2)
Amortization of intangible assets of acquired businesses.
(3)
Income tax benefit (using 39 percent marginal tax rate) from amortization for income tax purposes of certain indefinite-lived intangible assets (goodwill and trademarks), on acquisitions in which the Company received a step-up tax basis. For income tax purposes, these assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. For financial reporting purposes, these assets are not amortized and a deferred tax provision is recorded that fully offsets the cash tax benefit in the determination of net income.
(4)
Income taxes (assuming a 39 percent marginal rate) on the portion of amortization of intangible assets, which is not deductible for income tax purposes (mainly amortization associated with the acquisitions of CyberCoders, Inc. and a Life Sciences business in Europe, for which the Company was not able to step-up the tax basis in those acquired assets for tax purposes).
