MINNEAPOLIS, MN — May 5, 2010 — Analysts International Corporation (AIC) (Nasdaq: ANLY), an information technology services company, today announced its financial results for the 2010 first quarter which ended on April 3, 2010.
AIC reported 2010 first quarter revenue of $28.5 million as compared to 2009 first quarter revenue of $45.1 million. AIC reported a 2010 first quarter net loss of $1.2 million, or $0.23 per share, as compared to a 2009 first quarter net loss of $2.2 million, or $0.45 per share. The 2010 first quarter loss included special charges of $0.2 million, or $0.0 3 per share, while the 2009 first quarter loss included special charges of $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share. Excluding these special charges, AIC’s 2010 first quarter net loss was $1.0 million, or $0.20 per share, as compared to a 2009 first quarter net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.44 per share.
“We expected to see our financial performance begin to improve in the first quarter of the year and, as our results demonstrate, we have been able to successfully deliver on those expectations,” said Andrew Borgstrom, AIC president and CEO. “While there continues to be significant opportunity for
improvement within our business and a lot more work to do before we achieve our goal of profitability, we are heading in the right direction.”
“Strategically, we remain focused on growing our core IT staffing business,” added Borgstrom. “As the economy continues to improve, companies are increasingly looking to IT staffing firms to help augment their existing teams. AIC has a strong brand, a reputation for providing quality IT professionals on demand and a long, proven track record of successfully delivering on the expectations of our customers. We believe we are well positioned in the marketplace and will continue to aggressively focus on sales and delivery execution.”
First Quarter 2010 Review
The 2010 first quarter revenue of $28.5 million decreased 37% from the 2009 first quarter revenue. Adjusting for the planned exit from non-core lines of business, revenue declined 15% from the 2009 first quarter. Our 2010 first quarter revenue increased 7% from the 2009 fourth quarter. There were 65 billing days in the 2010 first quarter as compared to 65 billing days in the 2009 first quarter and 61 billing days in the 2009 fourth quarter.
The 2010 first quarter gross margins were $6.0 million, or 21.1% of revenue, as compared to 2009 first quarter gross margins of $9.1 million, or 20.1% of revenue. The increase in gross margins as a percent of revenue reflects the impact of implementing our strategy of exiting non-core lines of business. Adjusting for the planned exit from non-core lines of business, margins improved 210 basis points from the 2009 first quarter. Our 2010 first quarter gross margins were unchanged from our 2009 fourth quarter.
Selling, administrative and other operating costs for the 2010 first quarter decreased $4.1 million or 37%, when compared to the 2009 first quarter. This reduction is the result of our exit from non-core lines of business, the impact of our restructuring actions and the decline in overall business volume. Our 2010 first quarter selling, administrative and other operating costs declined $0.7 million from our 2009 fourth quarter.
We used cash from operations of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to generating cash from operations of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2009. As of April 3, 2010, we had a cash balance of approximately $3.8 million and no borrowings from our $15 million credit facility.
Reverse Stock Split
On February 26, 2010, we completed a 1-for-5 reverse stock split. All share and per share information has been restated to reflect the reverse stock split.

* 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, amortization, stock-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.
