Peter Dameris, President and Chief Executive Officer of On Assignment, Inc. said, “We are very pleased that our quarterly revenue growth rate for the fourth quarter of 2010 was the fastest of the year. Our discipline in protecting our margins and our efforts in expense control are beginning to pay off as revenue growth returns. In 2010 we were successful in creating value for our shareholders and employees by substantially reducing our long term debt, expanding our consolidated gross margin, expanding our service offerings and maintaining a high EBITDA margin.” Dameris concluded, “Our third and fourth quarter results demonstrate the operating leverage we believe lies ahead for our company. Moreover, we continue to see good acquisition opportunities that can complement our organic growth. Last month, we executed a letter of intent to acquire one of the largest privately owned clinical staffing firms in Western Europe. This company generated approximately $20 million in revenue in 2010 and we expect its addition to be accretive to our earnings in 2011.”
Jim Brill, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of On Assignment, Inc. stated, “Our fourth quarter gross margin remained strong and expanded over the fourth quarter of 2009. In the fourth quarter of 2010
gross margin in IT and Engineering was 36.1%, in Life Sciences it was 36.2%, Healthcare gross margin was 29.6%, while Physician staffing gross margin was 34.1%, all of which contributed to a record gross margin for the full year of 34.1%.”
Fourth Quarter 2010 Results
For the fourth quarter of 2010, consolidated revenues were $121.2 million, up 4.3% and 21.2% on a sequential and year over year basis, respectively. The Company had net income before the impairment of goodwill ($15.4 million) and the write-off of deferred loan costs ($1.1 million net of tax) of $2.8 million or $0.08 per share compared with net income of $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2010 and net income of $1.0 million or $0.03 per share in the fourth quarter of 2009.
The IT and Engineering segment revenues were $54.2 million, up 14.3% from the third quarter of 2010 and 52.5% from the fourth quarter of 2009. Life Sciences segment revenues were $30.9 million, up 2.7% from the third quarter of 2010 and 34.5% from the fourth quarter of 2009. Healthcare segment revenues, which include Nurse Travel and Allied Healthcare lines of business, were $18.5 million, down 6.6% from the third quarter of 2010 and down 13.1% from the fourth quarter of 2009. Nurse Travel revenues were $8.5 million, which included $0.8 million of revenue generated from supporting a customer that experienced labor disruption during the quarter, compared with $9.7 million in the third quarter of 2010 which included $2.2 million of revenue generated from supporting a customer labor disruption during the quarter, and $9.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009.

SG&A increased by $1.7 million over the third quarter in part due to increases in field employee related expenses resulting from increased revenues, a $0.3 million increase in equity based compensation to $2.4 million and $0.3 million in acquisition related expenses. During the quarter the Company refinanced its debt and paid the outstanding amount down to $66.75 million. The new facility increases the Company’s borrowing capacity and reduces its interest rate by about 350 basis points. The refinancing resulted in $2.2 million dollars of deferred financing costs being written off in the quarter. Capital expenditures were $2.1 million, amortization of intangibles was $0.5 million and depreciation was $1.5 million. In addition, the Company took a $15.4 million goodwill impairment charge relating to its Nurse Travel business.

Reasons for Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Statements made in this release and the Supplemental Financial Information accompanying this release include non-GAAP financial measures. Such information is provided as additional information, not as an alternative to our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, and is intended to enhance an overall understanding of our current financial performance. The Supplemental Financial Information sets forth financial measures reviewed by our management to evaluate our operating performance. Such measures also are used to determine a portion of the compensation for some of our executives and employees. We believe the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management, investors and prospective investors by excluding certain charges and other amounts that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. These non-GAAP measures are included to provide management, our investors and prospective investors with an alternative method for assessing our operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of our ongoing operations and to provide a more consistent basis for comparison between quarters. One of the non-GAAP financial measures presented is EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization of identifiable intangible assets), another term is Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA plus equity-based compensation expense, impairment charges and acquisition related costs), which terms might not be calculated in the same manner as, and thus might not be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The financial statement tables that accompany this press release include reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

historical information, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results might differ materially. In particular, the Company makes no assurances that the estimates of revenues, gross margin, SG&A, Adjusted EBITDA, net income, earnings per share or earnings per diluted share set forth above will be achieved. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include actual demand for our services, our ability to attract, train and retain qualified staffing consultants, our ability to remain competitive in obtaining and retaining temporary staffing clients, the availability of qualified temporary nurses and other qualified temporary professionals, management of our growth, continued performance of our enterprise-wide information systems, and other risks detailed from time to time in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the SEC on March 16, 2010 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ending March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010, as filed with the SEC on May 10, 2010, August 9, 2010 and November 8, 2010 respectively.

NOTE: Basic weighted average shares outstanding were utilized in the EPS calculation, where all other share equivalents were anti-dilutive due to the net loss. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were utilized in the EPS calculation where the impact of specific items resulted in positive EBITDA and positive adjusted EBITDA. For the quarter end 2010 calculations, basic shares were utilized for the calculation of EPS related to the net loss and all components of EBITDA. For the year end 2010 calculations, basic shares were utilized to calculate EPS on the net loss. All other calculations utilized diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The differences in the shares used to calculate the EPS amounts by line may have caused the totals not to foot. In these instance s, we have shown this difference as a separate reconciling item.

NOTE: Basic weighted average shares outstanding were utilized in the EPS calculation, where all other share equivalents were anti-dilutive due to the net loss. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding were utilized in the EPS calculation where the impact of specific items resulted in positive modified net income. For the both the quarter and year end 2010 calculations, basic shares were utilized for the calculation of EPS related to the net loss. All other calculations utilized diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The differences in the shares used to calculate the EPS amounts by line may have caused the totals not to foot. In these instances, we have shown this difference as a separate reconciling item.
