MINNEAPOLIS – February 24, 2011 – Analysts International Corporation (AIC) (Nasdaq: ANLY), an information technology services company, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2010 which ended on January 1, 2011.

AIC reported fourth quarter revenue of $25.3 million as compared to 2009 fourth quarter revenue of $26.6 million. AIC reported a 2010 fourth quarter net income of $0.9 million, or $0.19 per share, as compared to a 2009 fourth quarter net loss of $3.2 million, or $0.63 per share. The 2009 fourth quarter net loss included restructuring charges of $1.1 million, or $0.22 per share.

For fiscal year 2010, AIC reported revenue of $106.7 million compared to $143.2 million in fiscal year 2009. The net loss for fiscal 2010 was $0.5 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to a net loss of $15.9 million, or $3.19 per share, in the prior year. The fiscal 2010 loss included a net reversal of certain restructuring obligations previously recorded of $0.3 million, or $0.06 per share. Excluding these charges, the Company’s net loss was $0.8 million in fiscal 2010, or $0.16 per share. The fiscal 2009 loss included a non-cash charge for $2.3 million to impair our intangible assets and a $3.8 million

restructuring charge, or $1.22 per share. Excluding these charges, the Company’s net loss was $9.8 million in fiscal 2009, or $1.97 per share.

“We are pleased to have delivered our second consecutive quarter of profitability,” said President and CEO Brittany McKinney. “Our IT staffing business has stabilized, our gross margin rates have increased significantly and we have made considerable progress towards getting our costs in line with what the business requires. In addition, the business generated positive annual Adjusted EBITDA for the first time in two years.

“In 2011, we expect to maintain profitability and will balance bottom line performance with the investments required to grow the Company,” added McKinney. “We will continue to build on the strengths of our brand, our long-standing client relationships and our core markets.”

2010 Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year Review

Our revenues decreased $1.3 million, or 4.8%, in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, and by $36.5 million, or 25.5%, for fiscal year 2010, when compared to fiscal year  2009.  Adjusting for the exit from non-core lines of business, revenue declined 1.9% and 7.5% from the 2009 fourth quarter and fiscal year 2009, respectively. There were 61 billing days in the 2010 fourth quarter as compared to 60 billing days in the 2009 fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, gross margins were $6.3 million, or 24.8% of revenue, as compared to $5.6 million, or 21.1% of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009. Gross margins were $23.8 million, or 22.3% of revenue, for the fiscal year 2010, compared to $28.6 million, or 20.0% of revenue, for fiscal year 2009. The increase in gross margins as a percent of revenue reflects the impact of implementing our strategy of exiting non-core lines of business and securing higher margin business. Adjusting for the exit from non-core lines of business, margins improved 380 basis points and 290 basis points compared to the 2009 fourth quarter and fiscal year 2009, respectively.

Selling, general and other administrative expenses declined by $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, and by $13.3 million for fiscal year 2010, when compared to fiscal year 2009. The decrease in our SG&A expense is primarily the result of our exit from non-core lines of business, our business restructuring actions and our overall expense reduction efforts.

We used cash from operations of $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to using cash from operations of $3.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. For fiscal year 2010, we generated cash from operations of $0.6 million compared to using cash from operations of $0.4 million for fiscal year 2009. As of January 1, 2011, we had a cash balance of $4.3 million and no borrowings from our $15 million credit facility.

Amended Credit Facility

On February 23, 2011, the Company amended its credit facility agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The amended agreement reduces the Company’s unused line fees, lowers the interest rate on future borrowings, amends the financial covenant to be less restrictive and extends the agreement to September 2014.

* 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, share-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 superi or to GAAP results. The non-GAAP financial measure included in this press release has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure.
