NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. General

Basis of presentation — The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The December 31, 2021 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements. The financial statements include adjustments consisting of normal recurring items, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of ASGN Incorporated and its subsidiaries ("ASGN" or the "Company") and its results of operations for the interim dates and periods set forth herein. The results for any of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other period. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 ("2021 10-K").

2. Accounting Standards Update

In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Accounting for Acquired Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities, which requires an acquirer to recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, rather than adjust them to fair value at the acquisition date. The Company early adopted this standard and it had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Acquisitions

On July 6, 2022, the Company acquired GlideFast Holdings, LLC and affiliated entities ("GlideFast"), a ServiceNow consulting company, for $351.8 million in cash. GlideFast is part of the Commercial Segment and its results of operations are included in the consolidated results of the Company from the date of its acquisition. The purchase accounting for this acquisition remains incomplete with respect to the provisional fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as management continues to gather and evaluate information about circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Measurement period adjustments will be recognized prospectively within 12 months from the date of acquisition. The preliminary fair value of the identifiable intangible assets related to this acquisition totaled $102.8 million, including a trademark of $30.2 million which has an indefinite life. Other acquired identifiable intangible assets have useful lives ranging from three to nine years.

In 2021, the Company acquired three consulting services businesses for $221.3 million in cash. These acquisitions increased the Company's investment in IT consulting in its Commercial and Federal Government segments. The fair values allocated to the assets and liabilities for these acquisitions have been finalized.

4. Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets

The following table summarizes the activity related to the carrying amount of goodwill by segment since December 31, 2020 (in millions).

On August 17, 2021, the Company sold its Oxford business to an affiliate of H.I.G. Capital for $525.0 million. Included in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was a $218.6 million ($149.3 million net of income taxes) gain from the sale. The financial results of that business are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

There were no significant operating results from discontinued operations subsequent to December 31, 2021. The following table summarizes the results of operations of the Oxford business (in millions):


	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended

6. Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consisted of the following (in millions):


	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Senior Secured Credit Facility:
Borrowings under $250 million revolving credit facility, due 2024	$	46.0	$	—
Term B loan facility, due 2025	490.8		490.8

Unsecured Senior Notes, due 2028	550.0		550.0
	1,086.8		1,040.8
Unamortized deferred loan costs	(6.0)		(6.9)
	$	1,080.8	$	1,033.9

Senior Secured Credit Facility — The senior secured credit facility consists of a term B loan and a $250.0 million revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the term B loan bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.75 percent, or the bank’s base rate plus 0.75 percent. Borrowings under the revolver bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.25 to 2.25 percent, or the bank’s base rate plus 0.25 to 1.25 percent, depending on leverage levels. A commitment fee of 0.20 to 0.35 percent is payable on the undrawn portion of the revolver. There are no required minimum payments on the facility. The revolver is limited to a maximum ratio of senior secured debt to trailing 12-months of lender-defined consolidated EBITDA of 3.75 to 1, which was 0.96 to 1 at September 30, 2022. The facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and includes various restrictive covenants. At September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants. In July 2021, the Company amended its facility to, among other things, permit the sale of its Oxford business and allow the net cash proceeds (approximately $0.4 billion) to be used for future acquisitions and other permitted investments. With the acquisition of GlideFast on July 6, 2022 (see Note 3. Acquisitions) and other investments of the net cash proceeds, no debt prepayments were required.

Unsecured Senior Notes — The Company has $550.0 million of unsecured senior notes, which bear interest at 4.625 percent payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15. These notes are unsecured obligations and are subordinate to the senior secured credit facility. These notes also contain certain customary limitations including, the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers and acquisitions, transfer or sell assets and make certain distributions.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that the disposition of matters that are pending or asserted will have a material effect on its financial statements.

8. Income Taxes

For interim reporting periods, the Company’s provision for income taxes is calculated using its annualized estimated effective tax rate for the year. This rate is based on its estimated full year income and the related income tax expense for each jurisdiction in which the Company operates. The effective tax rate can be affected by changes in the geographical mix, permanent differences and the estimate of full year pretax accounting income. This rate is adjusted for the effects of discrete items occurring in the period.

9. Earnings per Share

The following table shows the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in millions, except per share data).

11. Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements — The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued payroll and contract professional pay approximate their fair value based on their short-term nature. The carrying amount of long-term debt recorded in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2022 was $1.1 billion (see Note 6. Long-Term Debt) and its fair value was $1.0 billion. The fair value for the term B loan and senior notes was determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the carrying value of the revolving credit facility approximates its fair value.

Certain acquisition agreements contained provisions requiring the Company to pay contingent consideration in the event the underlying acquired business achieved certain specified earnings results or obtained certain contract awards. Contingent consideration liabilities had a fair value of $15.1 million at December 31, 2021, of which $8.1 million was paid and the remaining amount was reduced to zero as a measurement period adjustment, with no effect on results of operations. There were no contingent consideration liabilities at September 30, 2022.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements — Certain assets, such as goodwill and trademarks, are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as, when there is evidence of impairment. There were no fair value adjustments for non-financial assets or liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

12. Subsequent Events

On October 3, 2022, the Company acquired Iron Vine Security, LLC ("Iron Vine") a leading cybersecurity company that designs, implements and executes cybersecurity programs for federal customers. The results of operations of Iron Vine will be included in the Federal Government Segment from the date of acquisition.

Consolidated	$	1,197.9	$	1,073.8	11.6	%		100.0	%	100.0	%

Commercial Segment — Revenues from our Commercial Segment (75.1 percent of total revenues) were up 16.1 percent over the third quarter of last year. Assignment revenues were $631.4 million (70.2 percent of the segment's revenues), up 7.5 percent year-over-year. Consulting services revenues were $268.6 million (29.8 percent of the segment's revenues), up 43.2 percent year-over-year. Excluding the contribution of $25.1 million from GlideFast, which was acquired on July 6, 2022, consulting services revenues were up 29.8 percent year-over-year.

From an industry perspective, Commercial revenues fall into five broad industry verticals: (i) Financial Services, (ii) Consumer and Industrials, (iii) Healthcare, (iv) Technology, Media and Telecom and (v) Business and Government Services. Four out of our five industry verticals achieved double-digit growth over the third quarter of last year, while our Business and Government Services vertical was slightly up over last year.

Within the Commercial Segment, IT services and solutions revenues, which accounted for 84.1 percent of the segment's revenues in the quarter, were up 18.3 percent over the third quarter of last year driven by double-digit growth in consulting services, the contribution from GlideFast and high single-digit growth in IT staffing services. Creative digital marketing and permanent placement revenues, which combined accounted for 15.9 percent of the segment's revenues in the quarter, were up 6.1 percent over the third quarter of last year.

Federal Government Segment — Revenues from our Federal Government Segment (24.9 percent of revenues) were down slightly year-over-year and included $9.1 million from the two businesses acquired subsequent to June 30, 2021. The third quarter of last year benefited from approximately $13.4 million in low-margin revenues under a web services resale program the segment elected not to renew in the third quarter of last year.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

The table below shows gross profit and gross margin by segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in millions).


	Gross Profit						Gross Margin
	2022		2021		Change			2022		2021		Change

Commercial	$	297.8	$	251.1	18.6	%		33.1	%	32.4	%	0.7	%
Federal Government	61.1		57.6		6.1	%		20.5	%	19.3	%	1.2	%
Consolidated	$	358.9	$	308.7	16.3	%		30.0	%	28.7	%	1.3	%

Gross profit is comprised of revenues less costs of services, which consist primarily of compensation for our contract professionals, allowable materials and reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses. Consolidated gross profit was up 16.3 percent on revenue growth of 11.6 percent.

Gross margin was 30.0 percent, an expansion of 130 basis points over the third quarter of 2021. Both business segments and all operating divisions reported year-over-year expansion in gross margin. The expansion in gross margin of the Commercial Segment was driven by double-digit growth of its high-margin commercial consulting and permanent placement services. The expansion in gross margin of the Federal Government Segment was driven by changes in business mix, including a lower contribution from cost reimbursable contracts, which carry a lower margin than other contract types, the contribution from higher-margin businesses acquired subsequent to June 30, 2021, and the decision not to renew a low-margin web services resale program in the third quarter of last year.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily of compensation expense for our field operations and corporate staff, rent, information systems, marketing, telecommunications, public company expenses and other general and administrative expenses. SG&A expenses were $232.6 million (19.4 percent of revenues), compared with $192.7 million (17.9 percent of revenues) in the third quarter of 2021. This increase was commensurate with the growth in the business and also included investments in headcount to support future growth.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets was $17.9 million, up from $15.9 million in the third quarter of 2021. This increase relates to the effects of businesses acquired.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $12.1 million and was comprised of $5.2 million of interest on the senior secured credit facility, $6.4 million of interest on the unsecured senior notes, and $0.5 million in amortization of deferred loan costs. The weighted-average outstanding borrowings were $1.0 billion in both periods and the weighted-average interest rate was 4.4 percent, up from 3.4 percent in the third quarter of 2021.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $25.2 million, up from $24.2 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was related to the growth in income before income taxes as the effective tax rate for the current quarter was slightly lower than in the third quarter of 2021.

Income from Continuing Operations

Income from continuing operations was $71.1 million, up from $66.3 million in the third quarter of 2021 driven by the growth in the business and the expansion of our gross margin.

Income from Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations was $2.1 million, compared with $145.7 million in the third quarter of 2021. In the prior year, virtually all of the income from discontinued operations related to the gain, net of income taxes, on the sale of the Oxford business.

Net Income

Net income of $73.2 million was comprised of income from continuing operations of $71.1 million and discontinued operations of $2.1 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 COMPARED WITH THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

Revenues

Revenues for the first nine months of the year were $3.4 billion, up 16.1 percent year-over-year. Revenues for the nine-month period included approximately $110.7 million from businesses acquired during the last twelve months. Excluding the contributions from acquisitions, revenue growth was 12.3 percent year-over-year. The table below shows our revenues by segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in millions).

Revenues for the first nine months of 2022 included $64.9 million from the two businesses acquired subsequent to June 30, 2021. Last year benefited from higher spending levels on certain cost reimbursable contracts and approximately $38.6 million in revenues from a low-margin web services contract that the segment elected to not renew in the third quarter of last year.

Commercial Segment - Consulting Metrics

Commercial consulting bookings are defined as the value of new contracts entered into during a specified period, including adjustments for the effects of changes in contract scope and contract terminations. The underlying contracts are terminable by the client on short notice with little or no termination penalties. The book-to-bill ratio for our commercial consulting revenues is the ratio of our commercial consulting bookings to the commercial consulting revenues for a specified period. The average duration of commercial consulting projects is one year.

Federal Government Segment Metrics

Contract backlog for our Federal Government Segment represents the estimated amount of future revenues to be recognized under awarded contracts including task orders and options. These estimates are subject to change and may be affected by the execution of new contracts, the extension or early termination of existing contracts, the non-renewal or completion of current contracts and adjustments to estimates for previously included contracts. Changes in the funded contract backlog are also affected by the funding cycles of the government.

Contract Backlog Coverage Ratio	2.8 to 1		2.6 to 1		2.6 to 1

___

Contract backlog coverage ratio is calculated as total contract backlog divided by trailing-twelve-months of Federal Government Segment revenues.

The book-to-bill ratio for our Federal Government Segment was 1.0 to 1 and 1.1 to 1 for the trailing-twelve-months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The book-to-bill ratio was calculated as the sum of the change in total contract backlog during the period plus revenues for the period, divided by revenues for the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working capital at September 30, 2022 was $627.7 million, and our cash and cash equivalents were $211.2 million. Our cash flows from operating activities have been our primary source of liquidity and have been sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs. At September 30, 2022, we had $204.0 million available under the $250.0 million revolving credit facility. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, expected operating cash flows and availability under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fulfill our obligations, working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the next 12 months.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $232.5 million for the first nine months of 2022, compared with $275.9 million in the same period of 2021. This change mainly related to an increase in accounts receivable days sales outstanding and timing of certain payments.

Net cash used in investing activities was $366.6 million for the first nine months of 2022 and included $351.8 million for the acquisition of GlideFast and $27.0 million for capital expenditures, partially offset by $9.8 million in cash received related to the finalization of the purchase price for the sale of the Oxford business. Net cash provided by investing activities in the first nine months of last year was $249.2 million and was comprised of $499.1 million from the sale of Oxford, partially offset by $224.4 million for acquisitions and $25.6 million for capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities was $183.7 million for the first nine months of 2022, compared with net cash used of $119.4 million in the same period of 2021. Net cash used in financing activities for the first nine months of 2022 was primarily comprised of $227.6 million to repurchase the Company's common stock, partially offset by $46.0 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility. There were $118.4 million of common stock repurchases in the first nine months of last year.

Senior Secured Credit Facility — The senior secured credit facility consists of a term B loan and a $250.0 million revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2022, the Company had $490.8 million outstanding under the term B loan and $46.0 million outstanding under the revolver. Borrowings under the term B loan bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.75 percent, or the bank’s base rate plus 0.75 percent. Borrowings under the revolver bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.25 to 2.25 percent, or the bank’s base rate plus 0.25 to 1.25 percent, depending on leverage levels. A commitment fee of 0.20 to 0.35 percent is payable on the undrawn portion of the revolver. There are no required minimum principal payments on the facility until maturity. The facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and includes various restrictive covenants. At September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants. In July 2021, the Company amended its facility to, among other things, permit the sale of its Oxford business and allow the net cash proceeds (approximately $0.4 billion) to be used for future acquisitions and other permitted investments. With the acquisition of GlideFast on July 6, 2022 (see Note 3. Acquisitions to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1.) and other investments of the net cash proceeds, no debt prepayments were required.

Unsecured Senior Notes — The Company has $550.0 million of unsecured senior notes due in 2028, which bear interest at 4.625 percent payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15. These notes are unsecured obligations and subordinate to the senior secured credit facility. These notes contain certain customary limitations including, among other terms and conditions, our ability to incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers and acquisitions, transfer or sell assets and make certain distributions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

With respect to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about interest rates risks, there have been no material changes to the information included in our 2021 10-K. A hypothetical 100 basis-point change in interest rates on variable-rate debt would have resulted in an interest expense fluctuation of approximately $5.4 million based on $536.8 million of debt outstanding for any 12-month period.

Item 4 — Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term "disclosure controls and procedures" means controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On July 27, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $400.0 million of its common stock over the next two years. Under terms of the program, purchases can be made in the open market or under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of the Company's stock and may be suspended at any time at the Company's discretion. The new program superseded and replaced any remaining availability under the Company's previous $350.0 million stock repurchase program.

The Company's repurchases of its common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2022 are shown in the table below.
