FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRG-Schultz Announces Third Quarter 2007 Financial Results

ATLANTA, October 29, 2007 — PRG-Schultz International, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRGX), the world’s largest recovery audit firm, today announced its unaudited financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Highlights of Financial Results

• Net loss for the 2007 third quarter was $3.0 million or $(0.31) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $4.2 million, or $(0.69) per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2006. The third quarter 2007 net loss included a $6.9 million charge for stock-based compensation, most of which resulted from the issuance of additional performance units in accordance with the anti-dilution provisions of the Company’s 2006 Management Incentive Plan. The net loss also included an operational restructuring charge of $1.6 million related to the Company’s successful sub-leasing and exit of approximately 25% of its headquarters office space. The third quarter 2006 net loss included earnings from discontinued operations of $0.7 million, an operational restructuring charge of $0.2 million and a charge of $4.1 million for stock-based compensation.

• Adjusted EBITDA for the 2007 third quarter was $10.7 million compared to $7.2 million of adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2006. The 2007 third quarter adjusted EBITDA is earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding the $1.6 million operational restructuring charge related to the exit of a portion of its headquarters office space and the $6.9 million charge for stock-based compensation. The comparable adjusted EBITDA amount for the third quarter of 2006 excludes from EBITDA for such period the charge of $4.1 million related to stock-based compensation and the operational restructuring charge of $0.2 million. (Schedule 3 attached to this press release provides a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA).

• Consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2007 was $53.2 million, a decrease of 2.9% compared to $54.8 million for the same period in 2006. Cost of revenue and SG&A expenses combined were $51.1 million for the 2007 third quarter, down 5.7% compared to the same period in 2006.

• Net earnings for the first nine months of 2007 were $17.1 million or $1.80 per basic and diluted share, which included the previously announced gain on the sale of the Meridian business of $19.5 million, earnings from discontinued operations of $0.3 million, the $1.6 million lease exit restructuring charge and $12.3 million of stock-based compensation expense which was also mostly attributable to the anti-dilution provisions of the Company’s 2006 Management

	Incentive Plan. This compares to a net loss of $18.2 million, or $(2.95) per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2006, which included earnings from discontinued operations of $1.9 million, a $10 million non-cash charge related to the Company’s March 2006 financial restructuring, a charge of $4.8 million related to stock-based compensation, and $2.1 million of operational restructuring charges.
•	Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $29.8 million compared to $17.6 million of adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2006. The 2007 adjusted EBITDA excludes the $19.5 million gain on the sale of the Meridian business, earnings from discontinued operations of $0.3 million, the $1.6 million lease exit restructuring charge and the $12.3 million of stock-based compensation charges. The comparable adjusted EBITDA amount for the first nine months of 2006 excludes the earnings from discontinued operations of $1.9 million, the non-cash charge of $10 million related to the Company’s financial restructuring, the charge of $4.8 million related to stock-based compensation, and the operational restructuring charge of $2.1 million.
•	Consolidated revenue in the first nine months of 2007 was $163.6 million compared to $165.7 million for the same period in 2006. Cost of Revenue and SG&A expenses combined were $151.4 million for the first nine months of 2007, down 5.8% compared to the same period in 2006.

Liquidity

At September 30, 2007 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $27.8 million and had no borrowings against its revolving credit facility. As recently announced, on October 4, 2007 the Company completed the redemption of its 11% Senior Notes and its 10% Senior Convertible Notes and on October 19, 2007 completed the redemption of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result of the call for redemption, virtually all of the convertible securities were converted into shares of PRG-Schultz common stock.

Following the completion of the conversions and redemptions, the Company has approximately 21.5 million shares of common stock outstanding, a $45 million term loan due September 2011 and cash and cash equivalents exceeding $20 million.

“We are pleased to report another quarter of significant progress,” said James B. McCurry, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “We registered our seventh successive quarter of year-over-year increase in adjusted EBITDA, while continuing to build our capabilities in new areas of recovery audit, and in providing new services, beyond recovery audit, to our existing client base.”

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. Management uses these measures in evaluating the Company’s financial performance and believes that providing investors with this information provides greater transparency and insight into management’s assessment and analysis of that performance. Additionally, rating agencies and a number of lenders, including the Company’s secured lenders, use measures similar to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to assess the Company’s performance. 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 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 provides a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.
