\nJoseph J. Liberatore, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are extremely pleased to have successfully driven results in the first quarter that again exceeded our expectations from both a revenue and profitability perspective. The momentum that we carried into the beginning of the year has continued to increase, resulting in year-over-year revenue growth for the first time in several years. We are encouraged that our revenue trajectory has continued to improve in the first month of the second quarter, which we expect will lead to year-over-year growth in the second quarter of 2026 in the mid-single digits. I could not be prouder of the tenacity of our people or more appreciative of the trust that our world class clients are increasingly placing in Kforce to drive more meaningful and valuable engagements with them. Our go-to-market approach, which was born out of our integrated strategy efforts, appears to be paying dividends. Our people continue to operate more fully as One Kforce leveraging the Firm\u2019s capabilities across all service offerings.”<\/p>\n

non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe provide useful information to investors in evaluating our core operating performance. The following non-GAAP financial measures presented may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies, as other companies may calculate such financial results differently. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to amounts presented in accordance with GAAP. We view these non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental, which are not intended to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided below.<\/p>\n Revenue Growth Rates<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \n\u201cRevenue growth rates,\u201d a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by Kforce as revenue growth after removing the impacts on reported revenues from the changes in the number of billing days. Management believes this data is particularly useful because it aids in evaluating revenue trends over time. The impact of billing days is calculated by dividing each comparative period\u2019s reported revenues by the number of billing days for the respective period to arrive at a per billing day amount for each quarter. Growth rates are then calculated using the per billing day amounts as a percentage change compared to the respective period. Management calculates the number of billing days for each reporting period based on the number of holidays and business days in the quarter.<\/p>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n Sequential Growth Rates

Management believes this provides an additional way of viewing our liquidity that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our cash flows and is useful information to investors as it provides a measure of the amount of cash generated from the business that can be used for strategic opportunities including investing in our business, repurchasing common stock, paying dividends or making acquisitions. Free Cash Flow has limitations due to the fact that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Therefore, we believe it is important to view Free Cash Flow as a complement to, but not a replacement of, our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.<\/p>\n \nThe following table presents Free Cash Flow:<\/p>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n Three Months Ended March 31,<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n (in thousands)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 2026<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 2025<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nNet cash used by operating activities<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(4,055<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n249<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nCapital expenditures<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(3,345<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(4,149<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nFree cash flow<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(7,400<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(3,900<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nChange in debt<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n25,100<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n32,800<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nRepurchases of common stock<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(11,683<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(21,066<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nCash dividends<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(6,821<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(7,051<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nPremiums paid for company-owned life insurance<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u2014<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(686<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nOther<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u2014<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nChange in cash and cash equivalents<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(804<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n95<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n Adjusted EBITDA<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \n\u201cAdjusted EBITDA,\u201d a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by Kforce as net income before depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; interest expense, net income tax expense; organizational realignment activities; and certain other items. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing our past and future financial performance, and this presentation should not be construed as an inference by us that our future results will be unaffected by those items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management to assess our operations including our ability to generate cash flows and our ability to repay our debt obligations, and management believes it provides a good metric of our core profitability in comparing our performance to our competitors, as well as our performance over different time periods. Consequently, management believes it is useful information to investors. The measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows or other financial statement information presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Also, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.<\/p>\n \nIn addition, although we excluded stock-based compensation expense because it is a non-cash expense, we expect to continue to incur stock-based compensation expense in the future and the associated stock issued may result in an increase in our outstanding shares of stock, which may result in the dilution of our shareholder ownership interest. We suggest that you evaluate these items and the potential risks of excluding such items when analyzing our financial position.<\/p>\n \nThe following table presents Adjusted EBITDA and includes a reconciliation of Net income to Adjusted EBITDA:<\/p>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n Three Months Ended<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n (in thousands)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n March 31, 2026<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n December 31, 2025<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n March 31, 2025<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nNet income<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n7,925<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n5,163<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n8,145<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nDepreciation and amortization<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n1,304<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n1,323<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n1,464<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nStock-based compensation expense<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n3,590<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n3,434<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n3,656<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nInterest expense, net<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n649<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n782<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n565<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nIncome tax expense<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n3,429<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n2,613<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n2,921<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nOrganizational realignment activities<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u2014<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n1,200<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u2014<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nOther (1)<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u2014<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n2,233<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u2014<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nAdjusted EBITDA<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n16,897<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n16,748<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n16,751<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n (1)<\/sup> Other includes non-recurring expenses to further streamline our operating costs, including the write-off of previously capitalized software.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
