CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

References in this document to the “Registrant,” “Kforce,” the “Company,” the “Firm,” “management,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Kforce Inc. and its subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires or indicates.

This report, particularly Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”), and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors, and the documents we incorporate into this report contain certain statements that are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and are made in reliance upon the protections provided by such acts for forward-looking statements. Such statements may include, but may not be limited to:

• expectations of financial or operational performance, including the potential effects of macroeconomic uncertainties, such as inflation and the recently implemented U.S. tariffs, among others, on our business;

• the impacts of revenue and gross profit levels on SG&A expenses as well as our ability to control discretionary spending and decrease operating costs;

• our expectations of growth rates in temporary staffing and future changes in revenue and gross profit margins of each segment of our business;

• the ability of the Firm to maintain and attract clients in the face of changing economic or competitive conditions;

• changes in demand for our services and our ability to adapt to such changes;

• continued investments in our strategic priorities, including the expected timing of our implementation of Workday and our ability to realize the benefits of our strategic priorities;

• potential government actions or changes in policies, laws and regulations, including material impacts of income tax changes;

• the Firm’s priority of retaining the most productive and tenured associates in preparation for higher levels of demand in the future;

• the Firm’s commitment, intent and ability to return significant capital to its shareholders through open market repurchases and quarterly dividends;

• our ability to meet the capital expenditure and working capital requirements of our operations;

• financing needs or plans, or our ability to maintain compliance with our credit facility's covenants;

• increased cautiousness for companies to invest in significant technological change and the impacts of such cautiousness on our financial results; and

• assumptions as to any of the foregoing and all statements that are not based on historical fact, but rather reflect our current expectations concerning future results and events.

For a further list and description of various risks, relevant factors and uncertainties that could cause future results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements, refer to the MD&A and Risk Factors sections. In addition, when used in this discussion, the terms “anticipate,” “assume,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will,” “may,” “likely,” “could,” “should,” “future” and variations thereof and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted. Future events and actual results could differ materially from those set forth in or underlying the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements contained in this report, which speak only as of the date of this report. Kforce undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unless otherwise noted below, there have been no material changes to the accounting policies presented in Note 1 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes normally required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2024, was derived from our audited Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2024, as presented in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our quarterly operating results are affected by the seasonality of our clients’ businesses and changes in holiday and vacation days taken. In addition, we typically experience higher costs in the first quarter of each fiscal year as a result of certain U.S. state and federal employment tax resets, which adversely affects our gross profit and overall profitability relative to the remainder of the fiscal year. As such, the results of operations for any interim period may be impacted by these factors, among others, and are not necessarily indicative of, nor comparable to, the results of operations for a full year.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kforce Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. References in this document to “Kforce,” the “Company,” the “Firm,” “management,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Kforce Inc. and its subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most critical of these estimates and assumptions include income taxes and the evaluation of goodwill for impairment. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual results could be materially different from these estimates.

Income Taxes

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The OBBBA legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. We are currently assessing its impact on our consolidated financial statements, but we do not expect it to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed as net income divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (“WASO”) during the period. WASO excludes unvested shares of restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by diluted WASO. Diluted WASO includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities, such as unvested shares of restricted stock using the treasury stock method, except where the effect of including potential common shares would be anti-dilutive.

New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance for disclosure improvements for income taxes. These amendments require the disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This new guidance is effective for Kforce for our annual disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2025. This new guidance will modify our disclosures, but we do not expect this standard to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Note B - Reportable Segments

Kforce’s two reportable segments are Technology and Finance and Accounting (“FA”). Within each segment, we provide highly skilled professionals on a Flex and Direct Hire basis to our customers on traditional staffing engagements and increasingly, within our Technology segment, as a part of an overall solutions engagement. The chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”), our President and Chief Executive Officer, establishes the strategic direction of the Firm, its priorities and longer-term financial objectives. Our CODM is ultimately responsible for evaluating segment performance and making decisions regarding resource allocation. Our CODM evaluates performance based on, among others, revenue trends (relative to peers and market benchmarks) and segment gross profit, and other key leading indicators such as client visits, job order trends for traditional staffing assignments, opportunity pipeline reviews for solutions-oriented engagements, and trends in consultants on assignment. The CODM uses these financial metrics and productivity measures when making decisions about allocating capital and resources to the segments.

Segment gross profit is defined as segment revenue, less direct costs attributable to the reportable segment. The CODM is not provided income from operations or asset information by reportable segment as operations are largely combined.

The following table provides information on the operations of our segments:

Note G - Credit Facility

On October 20, 2021, the Firm entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as lead arranger and bookrunner, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, BMO Harris Bank, N.A., as documentation agent, and the lenders referred to therein (the “Amended and Restated Credit Facility”). Under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, the Firm has a maximum borrowing capacity of $ 200.0 million, which may, subject to certain conditions and the participation of the lenders, be increased up to an aggregate additional amount of $ 150.0 million. Borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Firm. The maturity date of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility is October 20, 2026.

At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $ 70.0 million and $ 32.7 million was outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, respectively. Kforce had $ 1.0 million of outstanding letters of credit at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, which pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, reduces the availability of our borrowing capacity. At June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility.

Note I - Stock-Based Compensation

On April 23, 2025, Kforce’s shareholders approved the 2025 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”). The 2025 Plan allows for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SAR”), stock awards (including restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”)) and other stock-based awards, such as Performance-Based Awards (collectively referred to as “Restricted Stock”). The aggregate number of shares reserved under the 2025 Plan is approximately 2.7 million. Grants of an option or SAR reduce the reserve by one share, while a Restricted Stock award reduces the reserve by 2.72 shares. The 2025 Plan terminates on April 23, 2035.

Table of Contents

The following table presents the Restricted Stock activity for the six months ended June 30, 2025:


(in thousands, except per share amounts)	Number of Restricted Stock	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value		Total Intrinsic Value of Restricted Stock Vested
Outstanding at December 31, 2024	910	$	61.28
Granted	60	$	48.01
Forfeited	( 7 )	$	63.67
Vested	( 38 )	$	47.67	$	1,667
Outstanding at June 30, 2025	925	$	60.97

At June 30, 2025, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock was $ 37.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 4.3 years.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, stock-based compensation expense was $ 3.6 million and $ 7.3 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, stock-based compensation expense was $ 3.5 million and $ 7.0 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note J - Commitments and Contingencies

Employment Agreements

Kforce has employment agreements with certain executives that provide for certain post-employment benefits under certain circumstances. At June 30, 2025, our liability would be approximately $ 28.2 million if, following a change in control, all of the executives under contract were terminated without cause by the employer or if the executives resigned for good reason, and $ 9.1 million if, in the absence of a change in control, all of the executives under contract were terminated by Kforce without cause or if the executives resigned for good reason.

Litigation

We are involved in legal proceedings, claims and administrative matters that arise in the ordinary course of business, and we have made accruals with respect to certain of these matters, where appropriate, that are reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements but are not, individually or in the aggregate, considered material. For other matters for which an accrual has not been made, we have not yet determined that a loss is probable, or the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated. The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain, but we do not expect that these proceedings and claims, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements; however, if decided adversely to us, or if we determine that settlement of particular litigation is appropriate, we may be subject to additional liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Kforce maintains liability insurance that insures us against workers’ compensation, personal and bodily injury, property damage, directors’ and officers’ liability, errors and omissions, cyber liability, employment practices liability and fidelity losses. There can be no assurance that Kforce’s liability insurance will cover all events or that the limits of coverage will be sufficient to fully cover all liabilities.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The following is an executive summary of what Kforce believes are highlights as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2025, which should be considered in the context of the additional discussions herein and in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

• Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased 6.2% (5.5% on a billing day basis) to $664.3 million from $708.2 million in the comparable period in 2024. Revenue decreased 5.1% (4.4% on a billing day basis) and 18.4% (17.8% on a billing day basis) for Technology and FA, respectively, primarily driven by decreases in consultants on assignment, which we believe is related to macroeconomic uncertainties.

• Flex revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased 6.1% (5.4% on a billing day basis) to $651.0 million from $693.5 million in the comparable period in 2024. Flex revenue decreased 5.0% (4.3% on a billing day basis) for Technology and 20.1% (19.5% on a billing day basis) for FA. Flex revenue for both Technology and FA improved slightly in the second quarter of 2025 on a sequential billing day basis.

• Direct Hire revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased 9.1% to $13.4 million from $14.7 million in the comparable period in 2024. Direct Hire revenue declined 22.1% in the second quarter of 2025 on a sequential billing day basis.

• Gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased 50 basis points to 26.9% from 27.4% in the comparable period in 2024 primarily driven by declines in the mix of Direct Hire revenue and Flex gross profit margins.

• Flex gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased 50 basis points to 25.4% from 25.9% in the comparable period in 2024 primarily driven by higher healthcare costs.

• SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased to 22.5% from 22.0% in the comparable period in 2024 primarily driven by the declines in revenue.

• Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased 26.0% to $18.6 million, or $1.03 diluted earnings per share, from $25.1 million, or $1.33 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

• The Firm returned $45.7 million of capital to our shareholders in the form of open market repurchases totaling $31.7 million and quarterly dividends totaling $14.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

• Cash provided by operating activities was $18.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $34.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily related to lower profitability levels, higher capitalized costs related to cloud computing arrangements for our Workday implementation, and the payment of 2024 federal income taxes that were deferred pursuant to IRS guidance.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Business Overview

Kforce is a leading domestic provider of technology and finance and accounting talent solutions to innovative and industry-leading companies. At June 30, 2025, Kforce employed over 1,600 associates and had approximately 7,500 consultants on assignment. Kforce serves clients across a diverse set of industries and organizations of all sizes, but we place a particular focus on serving Fortune 500 and other leading companies.

While early 2025 began with optimism around U.S. economic growth and companies generally investing in technology initiatives to a greater degree, that momentum softened in the first half of 2025 amid rising macroeconomic uncertainties. While the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act removed some uncertainty related to tax policy, the global trade negotiations and potential retaliatory measures are far from settled and the potential derivative negative effects on the U.S. consumer and broader U.S. economy remain highly uncertain as exhibited by continued mixed economic data. Against the backdrop of the current macro environment, we are pleased to have delivered sequential Flex revenue growth in both our Technology and Finance and Accounting businesses in the second quarter of 2025. Our operating trends suggest that we continue to operate in a demand-constrained environment; however, we believe our clients continue to carry a significant backlog of strategically imperative technology investments that they expect to execute once greater positive visibility exists.

Based on data published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and Staffing Industry Analysts (“SIA”), temporary employment figures and trends are important indicators of staffing demand from an economic standpoint. The national U.S. unemployment rate remained flat at 4.1% in June 2025 as compared to December 2024. In the latest U.S. staffing industry forecast published by SIA in March 2025, the technology temporary staffing industry is estimated to grow 2% in 2025, which is down from the earlier forecast of 5%. We would expect a downward adjustment in SIA’s expectations of growth in their next update, which is expected to be released in September 2025.

Flex Revenue. The key drivers of Flex revenue are the number of consultants on assignment, billable hours, the bill rate per hour and, to a limited extent, the amount of billable expenses incurred by Kforce.

Flex revenue for our Technology business decreased 5.0% during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 4.3% on a billing day basis for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024. These changes are primarily driven by a decrease in consultants on assignment, which we believe is related to macroeconomic uncertainties. Technology Flex revenue improved 1.8% (0.2% on a billing day basis) sequentially in the second quarter. Our average Technology bill rates remained stable for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024. In the third quarter, we expect Technology Flex revenue to decline in the low single digits on a sequential basis and mid single digits year over year.

Our FA business experienced a decrease in Flex revenue of 16.8% and 20.1% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and 19.5% on a billing day basis for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024. These changes are primarily driven by a decrease in consultants on assignment. FA Flex revenue improved 2.1% (0.5% on a billing day basis) in the second quarter of 2025 on a sequential billing day basis, which was the first sequential improvement in FA Flex since the second quarter of 2022. Our average FA bill rates improved by 4.7% and 3.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024, which is reflective of the higher-skilled assignments that we are strategically pursuing. In the third quarter, we expect FA Flex revenue to improve in the mid single digits sequentially and decline in the high single digits year over year.

The following table presents the key drivers for the change in Flex revenue by segment over the prior period (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

Direct Hire Revenue. The key drivers of Direct Hire revenue are the number of placements and the associated placement fee. Direct Hire revenue also includes conversion revenue, which may occur when a consultant initially assigned to a client on a temporary basis is later converted to a permanent placement for a fee.

Direct Hire revenue decreased 21.6% and 9.1% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024, which was primarily driven by decreases in placements, partially offset by an increase in placement fees. In the third quarter, we expect Direct Hire Revenue to remain flat sequentially and decrease in the mid 20% range year over year.

Gross Profit. Gross profit is determined by deducting direct costs (primarily consultant compensation, payroll taxes and certain fringe benefits, as well as independent contractor costs) from total revenue. In addition, there are no consultant payroll costs associated with Direct Hire placements; thus, all Direct Hire revenue increases gross profit by the full amount of the placement fee.

The following table presents gross profit (gross profit as a percentage of total revenue) by segment and percentage change over the prior period:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2025		Increase (Decrease)		2024		2025		Increase (Decrease)		2024
Technology	26.3	%	(1.9)	%	26.8	%	26.1	%	(1.5)	%	26.5	%
FA	38.1	%	(2.1)	%	38.9	%	38.2	%	(0.3)	%	38.3	%
Total gross profit percentage	27.1	%	(2.5)	%	27.8	%	26.9	%	(1.8)	%	27.4	%

The total gross profit percentage decreased 70 and 50 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily driven by declines in the mix of Direct Hire revenue and Flex gross profit margins.

Flex gross profit percentage (Flex gross profit as a percentage of Flex revenue) provides management with helpful insights into the other drivers of total gross profit percentage driven by our Flex business, such as changes in the spread between the consultants’ bill rate and pay rate, changes in payroll tax rates or benefits costs, as well as the impact of billable expenses, which provide no profit margin.

The following table presents the Flex gross profit percentage by segment and percentage change over the prior period:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2025		Increase (Decrease)		2024		2025		Increase (Decrease)		2024
Technology	25.6	%	(1.2)	%	25.9	%	25.3	%	(1.2)	%	25.6	%
FA	28.5	%	(4.0)	%	29.7	%	27.8	%	(5.4)	%	29.4	%
Total Flex gross profit percentage	25.8	%	(1.5)	%	26.2	%	25.4	%	(1.9)	%	25.9	%

Our Flex gross profit percentage decreased 40 and 50 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024.

• Technology Flex gross profit margins decreased 30 basis points for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, which was primarily driven by higher healthcare costs and partially offset by slightly improved bill and pay spreads. In the third quarter, we expect Technology Flex gross profit margins to remain stable sequentially.

• FA Flex gross profit margins decreased 120 and 160 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024, which was primarily driven by a tighter pricing environment and higher healthcare costs. In the third quarter, we expect FA Flex gross profit margins to remain stable sequentially.

The following table presents the key drivers for the change in Flex gross profit by segment over the prior period (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

SG&A Expenses . Total compensation, commissions, payroll taxes and benefit costs as a percentage of SG&A represented 84.6% and 84.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to 84.2% and 84.0% for the comparable periods in 2024, respectively. Commissions and other bonus incentives are variable costs driven primarily by revenue and gross profit levels. Therefore, as those levels change, these expenses would also generally be anticipated to change.

The following table presents certain components of SG&A as a percentage of total revenue:


(in thousands)	2025		% of Revenue		2024		% of Revenue
Three Months Ended June 30,
Compensation, commissions, payroll taxes and benefits costs	$	62,904	18.8	%	$	65,425	18.4	%

Total SG&A	$	149,535	22.5	%	$	155,908	22.0	%

(1) Includes items such as credit loss expense, lease expense, professional fees, travel, communication and office-related expense, and certain other expenses.

SG&A as a percentage of revenue increased 40 and 50 basis points for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024.

For compensation and related expenses, we continue to experience a degree of SG&A deleverage as we continue to make investments in our strategic priorities and retain our most productive associates to strategically position the Firm to capture an increased market share when the demand environment improves. We also experienced an increase in healthcare costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024. To mitigate the pressure on our profitability levels from the revenue and gross profit declines, we continue to take certain actions to align our costs such as tight discretionary spend control.

We continue to prioritize investments in our strategic initiatives, including the implementation of Workday as part of our back-office transformation program, which is expected to go live in 2026; integrated strategy efforts; the evolution of our nearshore and offshore delivery capabilities; and most recently, driving Kforce’s strategy through leverage of artificial intelligence (“AI”).

Depreciation and Amortization. The following table presents depreciation and amortization expense and percentage change over the prior period by major category:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2025		Increase (Decrease)		2024		2025		Increase (Decrease)		2024
Fixed asset depreciation	$	660	(19.4)	%	$	819	$	1,373	(15.2)	%	$	1,619
Capitalized software amortization	730		(0.8)	%	736		1,481		16.7	%	1,269
Total Depreciation and amortization	$	1,390	(10.6)	%	$	1,555	$	2,854	(1.2)	%	$	2,888

Other Expense, Net. Other expense, net was $1.0 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Other expense, net was $1.6 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Other expense, net primarily includes interest expense related to outstanding borrowings under our credit facility.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes (our “effective tax rate”) was 25.4% and 26.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The primary driver for the decrease relates to increased research and development tax credits associated with our strategic priorities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

R evenue Growth Rates. “Revenue growth rates,” a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by Kforce as revenue growth after removing the impacts on reported revenues from the changes in the number of billing days. Management believes this data is particularly useful because it aids in evaluating revenue trends over time. The impact of billing days is calculated by dividing each comparative period’s reported revenues by the number of billing days for the respective period to arrive at a per billing day amount for each quarter. Growth rates are then calculated using the per billing day amounts as a percentage change compared to the respective period. Management calculates the number of billing days for each reporting period based on the number of holidays and business days in the quarter.


	Sequential Growth Rates (GAAP)
	2025		2024
	Q2	Q1	Q4	Q3	Q2

Free Cash Flow. “Free Cash Flow,” a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by Kforce as net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, less capital expenditures. Management believes this provides an additional way of viewing our liquidity that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our cash flows and is useful information to investors as it provides a measure of the amount of cash generated from the business that can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, repurchasing common stock, paying dividends or making acquisitions. Free Cash Flow has limitations due to the fact that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Therefore, we believe it is important to view Free Cash Flow as a complement to, but not a replacement of, our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Table of Contents

The following table presents Free Cash Flow:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2025		2024
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	18,614	$	34,105

Adjusted EBITDA. “Adjusted EBITDA,” a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by Kforce as net income before depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; interest expense, net; and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing our past and future financial performance, and this presentation should not be construed as an inference by us that our future results will be unaffected by those items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management to assess our operations including our ability to generate cash flows and our ability to repay our debt obligations, and management believes it provides a good metric of our core profitability in comparing our performance to our competitors, as well as our performance over different time periods. Consequently, management believes it is useful information to investors. The measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows or other financial statement information presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Also, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

In addition, although we excluded stock-based compensation expense because it is a non-cash expense, we expect to continue to incur stock-based compensation expense in the future and the associated stock issued may result in an increase in our outstanding shares of stock, which may result in the dilution of our shareholder ownership interest. We suggest that you evaluate these items and the potential risks of excluding such items when analyzing our financial position.

The following table presents Adjusted EBITDA and includes a reconciliation of Net income to Adjusted EBITDA:


(in thousands)	2025		2024

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

To meet our capital and liquidity requirements, we primarily rely on our operating cash flows, as well as borrowings under our credit facility. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $70.0 million and $32.7 million outstanding under our Amended and Restated Credit Facility, respectively, and the borrowing availability was $129.0 million and $166.3 million, respectively, subject to certain covenants. At June 30, 2025, Kforce had $113.5 million in working capital compared to $112.9 million at December 31, 2024.

Cash Flows

Our business has historically generated a significant amount of operating cash flows, which allows us to balance deploying available capital towards: (i) investing in our strategic priorities that we expect will accelerate future revenue growth and profitability levels; (ii) our dividend and share repurchase programs; and (iii) maintaining sufficient liquidity for potential acquisitions or other strategic investments.

Cash provided by operating activities was $18.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $34.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our largest source of operating cash flows is the collection of trade receivables, and our largest use of operating cash flows is the payment of our associate and consultant compensation. The year-over-year decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by lower profitability levels, higher capitalized costs related to cloud computing arrangements for our Workday implementation, and the payment of 2024 federal income taxes that were deferred pursuant to IRS guidance.

Cash used in investing activities was $7.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, and primarily consisted of cash used for capital expenditures of $8.3 million, partially offset by proceeds from company-owned life insurance of $1.4 million. Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $3.8 million and primarily consisted of cash used for capital expenditures of $5.0 million and premiums paid on company-owned life insurance policies of $1.2 million, partially offset by proceeds from company-owned life insurance of $2.4 million.

Cash provided by f inancing activities was $8.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to $30.4 million of cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024. This change was primarily driven by the net proceeds on our Amended and Restated Credit Facility, partially offset by an increase in repurchases of common stock.

The following table presents the cash flow impact of the common stock repurchase activity:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2025		2024
Open market repurchases	$	31,984	$	10,828
Repurchased shares withheld for tax withholding upon vesting of restricted stock	259		401
Total cash flow impact from Repurchases of common stock	$	32,243	$	11,229
Cash paid in current year for settlement of prior year repurchases	$	260	$	920

During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, Kforce declared and paid quarterly dividends of $14.0 million ($0.78 per share) and $14.2 million ($0.76 per share), respectively, which represents a 3% increase on a per share basis. While the Firm’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has declared and paid quarterly dividends since the fourth quarter of 2014, and intends to in the foreseeable future, dividends will be subject to determination by our Board each quarter following its review of, among other things, the Firm’s current and expected financial performance as well as the ability to pay dividends under applicable law.

We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, operating cash flows and available borrowings under our Amended and Restated Credit Facility will be adequate to meet the capital expenditure and working capital requirements of our operations for at least the next 12 months, and the foreseeable future, which we believe will provide us the flexibility to continue returning significant capital to our shareholders. However, a material deterioration in the macroeconomic environment or market conditions, among other things, could adversely affect operating results and liquidity, as well as the ability of our lenders to fund borrowings. Actual results could also differ materially from these indicated as a result of a number of factors, including the use of currently available resources for capital expenditures, investments, additional common stock repurchases or dividends.

Table of Contents

Credit Facility

On October 20, 2021, the Firm entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, which has a maximum borrowing capacity of $200.0 million, and subject to certain conditions and the participation of the lenders, may be increased up to an aggregate additional amount of $150.0 million. At June 30, 2025, $70.0 million was outstanding and $129.0 million was available on our Amended and Restated Credit Facility, and at December 31, 2024, $32.7 million was outstanding. At June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility as described in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and we currently expect that we will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants.

Stock Repurchases

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, Kforce repurchased approximately 655 thousand shares of common stock on the open market at a total cost of approximately $31.7 million. In addition, $31.8 million remained available for further repurchases under the Board-authorized common stock repurchase program at June 30, 2025.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Other than the changes described elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes during the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q to our contractual obligations previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and the related disclosures. Our assumptions, estimates and judgments are based on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. Management regularly reviews the accounting policies, estimates, assumptions and judgments to ensure that our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

N E W ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Refer to Note A - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 1. Financial Statements of this report for a discussion of new accounting standards.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

With respect to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, there have been no material changes to the information included in Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2025, we carried out an evaluation required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act (“Disclosure Controls”). Based on the Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that the design and operation of our Disclosure Controls were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management has evaluated, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, whether any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on the evaluation we conducted, management has concluded that no such changes have occurred.

Table of Contents

Inherent Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

CEO and CFO Certifications

Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 are the Certifications of the CEO and the CFO, respectively. The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This section contains the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
