FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRGX Announces First Quarter 2010 Financial Results

ATLANTA, May 3, 2010 – PRGX Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRGX), the world’s leader in recovery audit and the pioneer in a new category of services called profit discovery, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter (Q1) 2010.

Highlights

• Revenues for Q1 2010 were $41.3 million vs. $39.3 million in Q1 2009 – an increase of 5.3% (a decline of 0.5% after adjustment for changes in foreign exchange rates)

• Net loss for Q1 2010 was $3.5 million ($0.15 loss per basic and diluted share) vs. net earnings of $1.9 million ($0.08 earnings per basic and diluted share) in Q1 2009

• Adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2010 was $2.3 million vs. $5.0 million in Q1 2009

• Completed previously announced debt refinancing

• Completed previously announced acquisition of Etesius Limited

“I would like to express some pride in our company’s performance this quarter – we believe that this performance supports our excitement about the future. The first quarter year over year results represent our company’s best top-line performance in recent years. Prior to this quarter, year over year revenues have been consistently declining, sometimes at double digit rates,” said Romil Bahl, president and chief executive officer. “While nobody has to remind us that the vast majority of the work of implementing our strategy remains ahead of us, we are proving the ability to ‘fill the hole’ created in our core business over the last several years following our financial turnaround.”

First Quarter Results

Adjusted EBITDA for the 2010 first quarter was $2.3 million compared to $5.0 million of adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2009. The 2010 first quarter adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding a charge of $0.8 million related to stock-based compensation and $0.6 million of foreign currency losses on intercompany balances. The comparable adjusted EBITDA amount for the first quarter of 2009 excludes from EBITDA for such period a $0.02 million charge for stock-based compensation and $0.6 million of foreign currency losses on intercompany balances. (Schedule 3 attached to this press release provides a reconciliation of net earnings to each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA).

The reduction in adjusted EBITDA reflects the impact of the Company’s investments in previously announced growth strategies. A significant portion of the costs associated

with these various investments is included in both “Cost of revenues” and “Selling, general and administrative expenses” reported in the Company’s statement of operations.

Net loss for the 2010 first quarter was $3.5 million, or $0.15 loss per basic and diluted share, compared to net earnings of $1.9 million, or $0.08 earnings per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2009. The first quarter 2010 net loss included a $1.4 million interest charge for the write-off of deferred debt costs resulting from the refinancing of our debt, the $0.8 million related to stock-based compensation and the $0.6 million of foreign currency losses on intercompany balances. The first quarter 2009 net earnings included the $0.02 million charge for stock-based compensation and the $0.6 million charge for foreign currency losses on intercompany balances.

Liquidity

At March 31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $23.5 million and had no borrowings against its revolving credit facility. Total debt outstanding at quarter-end was $14.4 million, which included a $14.2 million outstanding balance on a variable rate term loan due 2014. During the 2010 first quarter, the company used cash of $3.8 million for payments related to previously announced business acquisitions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are both “non-GAAP financial measures” presented as supplemental measures of our performance. They are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The Company believes these measures provide additional meaningful information in evaluating the Company’s performance over time, and that the rating agencies and a number of lenders use EBITDA and similar measures for similar purposes. In addition, a measure similar to adjusted EBITDA is used in the restrictive covenants contained in the Company’s secured credit facility. However, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In addition, in evaluating EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that, as described above, the adjustments may vary from period to period and in the future we will incur expenses such as those used in calculating these measures. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Schedule 3 to this press release provides a reconciliation of net earnings to each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.
