SECOND QUARTER 2010 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Operating Highlights
  Third straight quarter of consolidated revenue growth year-over-year
 
  Important recovery audit wins at two top-ten global retailers
 
  Further expansion of the sales team to promote growth
 
  Expanded services already receiving positive client reaction; integration of the Etesius acquisition is well underway
ATLANTA, July 26, 2010 — PRGX Global, Inc. (Nasdaq:PRGX), the world’s leader in recovery auditing and the pioneer in profit discovery services, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.
“Our financial results for the quarter reflect the positive reaction we are seeing from the marketplace as we implement our growth strategy. We are experiencing initial success from our improved sales and marketing efforts and the expansion of our lines of service. Over the last two quarters, we have shown the ability to ‘fill the hole’ in our historical revenue trend; and today we are proud to announce that we have done it again. For the second quarter of 2010, revenue again increased year-over-year and we reported a net profit. Converting these successes into a sustainable trend will require intense focus on the execution of our strategy going forward,” said Romil Bahl, president and chief executive officer.
“The cornerstone of our strategy, our integrated value proposition of ‘Audit, Analytics, and Advice’ focusing on long-term client value, is already having an impact in the marketplace. As evidence of this impact, our Americas team delivered the Company’s largest win in almost a decade. In addition, our European team also secured its largest win in several years. In both cases it was the combination of our analytics and advisory services together with recovery audit that was the key differentiator. Many clients today are looking for more than just recoveries; they are looking for partners who can help find the insights that improve purchasing decisions and drive process improvement to reduce costs. We believe this trend will only strengthen as clients expect more from their recovery audit partners,” continued Mr. Bahl.
Discussion of Consolidated Results for Three Months Ended June 30, 2010:
Consolidated revenue for the 2010 second quarter amounted to $45.5 million, reflecting a slight increase from the second quarter of 2009. After adjustment for changes in foreign exchange rates, consolidated second quarter revenues in 2010 and 2009 were essentially the same. Consolidated revenue for the 2010 second quarter increased by $4.2 million, or 10.1%, compared to the first quarter of 2010.
Total cost of revenues amounted to $31.4 million in the 2010 second quarter compared to $28.3 million in the same prior year period. The increase in cost of revenues reflects the additional

1


 

investments the Company is making in its previously announced growth strategies, particularly in healthcare.
SG&A for the 2010 second quarter was $13.2 million compared to the prior year’s amount of $10.8 million. SG&A includes the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on intercompany balances, including losses of $1.1 million for the 2010 second quarter and gains of $1.7 million for the 2009 second quarter.
Net earnings for the 2010 second quarter were $0.03 million, or $0.00 per basic and diluted share, compared to net earnings of $5.0 million, or $0.22 per basic and $0.21 diluted share for the same period in 2009. The second quarter 2010 net earnings included a charge of $1.1 million related to stock-based compensation and the $1.1 million of foreign currency losses on intercompany balances. The second quarter 2009 net earnings included a $1.0 million charge for stock-based compensation, a $0.7 million charge related to a previously reported litigation settlement, and $1.7 million of foreign currency gains on intercompany balances.
Adjusted EBITDA for the 2010 second quarter was $5.4 million compared to $7.7 million of adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2009. The 2010 second quarter adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding the charge of $1.1 million related to stock-based compensation, the $1.1 million of foreign currency losses on intercompany balances and $0.1 million for acquisition obligations classified as compensation. The comparable adjusted EBITDA amount for the second quarter of 2009 excludes from EBITDA for such period the $1.0 million charge for stock-based compensation, the $0.7 million charge related to the previously reported litigation settlement and the $1.7 million of foreign currency gains on intercompany balances. (Schedule 3 attached to this press release provides a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA).
“The long-term focus of our strategy is to expand into new services as well as enter new markets that offer a large number of potential clients and include industry transaction characteristics that result in a high demand for our services — high volumes and high complexity. As we invest in our growth strategy, the biggest investments are in recovery audit, our core business. We have re-established a sales force in the Americas, which is already having an impact. This includes rebuilding relationships with certain non-retail, or “commercial” clients, which the Company had largely exited several years ago in an attempt to concentrate on more profitable clients. We believe we can now serve these clients profitably through enhanced auditing methods, improved technology, and by expanding these client relationships with our broader range of services,” said Mr. Bahl.
“As an update on our initiative in the health care industry, we continue to effectively deliver on our role as a subcontractor in three of the four regions in the national Medicare Recovery Audit Contractor program. While small amounts of revenue are being generated from automated audits, we are ramping up our staff to handle the complex audits that are expected to provide the bulk of the revenue from our RAC subcontracts. We plan to capitalize on our Medicare experience by also marketing our recovery audit services to private payers,” continued Mr. Bahl.
“We have effectively integrated our Etesius acquisition and are actively going to market with Business Analytics services, both independently and as a complement to our Audit and Advisory services. Clients and prospects are welcoming the potential to unlock knowledge through data delivered by our

2


 

Business Analytics services, and we are developing plans to expand this largely European-based business into a meaningful presence in the Americas.” Similarly, our Advisory Services practice continues its year-over-year growth, successfully selling and delivering our expanded client value proposition, again both as a stand-alone service area helping client senior executives improve their operating margins and profits, and as a complement to Recovery Audit and Business Analytics,” continued Mr. Bahl.
“Overall, we have delivered solid results in a marketplace and an environment that continues to be negatively impacted by the economy. Our international operations continue to provide growth in our core business, and we have made steady progress towards our transformation agenda, validating our strategic direction and demonstrating our ability to grow revenues,” concluded Mr. Bahl.
Discussion of Segment Results for Three Months Ended June 30, 2010:
Recovery Audit Services — Americas revenues for the 2010 second quarter were $29.9 million compared to the prior year’s second quarter revenues of $32.1 million, a decrease of 6.9%. On a constant dollar basis, adjusted for changes in foreign exchange rates, Recovery Audit Services — Americas revenues decreased by 9.2% compared to 2009. Gross margin was significantly impacted by investments we are making in our growth strategies. Significant amounts of the non-capitalizable portions of these costs are being absorbed within the Americas segment cost of revenues.
Recovery Audit Services — Europe Asia/Pacific revenues for the 2010 second quarter were $13.0 million compared to $12.0 million in the prior year’s quarter, an increase of 8.4%. On a constant dollar basis, adjusted for changes in foreign exchange rates, Recovery Audit Services — Europe Asia/Pacific second quarter 2010 revenues increased by 14.1% compared to 2009.
New Services revenues for the 2010 second quarter were $2.7 million compared to the prior year’s second quarter revenues of $1.5 million, an increase of 84.8%. New Services revenues in both the 2010 and 2009 second quarters were primarily derived from financial advisory services.
Corporate Support SG&A in the 2010 second quarter was $4.4 million compared to $5.7 million for the prior year’s second quarter. The higher prior year amount is attributable to the previously mentioned litigation settlement, professional fees related to the settlement and severance charges.
Discussion of Consolidated Results for Six Months Ended June 30, 2010:
Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased 2.5% to $86.8 million, compared to $84.7 million for the same period in 2009. After adjusting for changes in foreign exchange rates, 2010 first half revenues decreased slightly (0.2%) compared to the first half of 2009.
Cost of revenues in the first half of 2010 amounted to $61.3 million compared to the 2009 first half amount of $54.7 million; this increase again being attributable to the Company’s investments in growth initiatives.
SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $25.9 million compared to the prior year’s amount of $20.5 million. SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2010 includes foreign currency losses on intercompany balances of $1.7 million, compared to gains of $1.1 million for the same period in 2009.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $3.4 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, compared to net earnings of $6.9 million, or $0.31 per basic and $0.30 per diluted share for the same period in 2009. The six months ended June 30, 2010 net loss included a charge of $1.9 million related to stock-based compensation and $1.7 million of foreign currency losses on intercompany balances. The six months ended June 30, 2009 net earnings included the $1.0 million charge for stock-based compensation, the $0.7 million litigation settlement and the $1.1 million of foreign currency gains on intercompany balances.
Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $7.8 million compared to $12.8 million of adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2009. The six months ended June 30, 2010 adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding the charge of $1.9 million related to stock-based compensation, the $1.7 million of foreign currency losses on intercompany balances and $0.2 million for acquisition obligations classified as compensation. The comparable adjusted EBITDA amount for the same period in 2009 excludes from EBITDA for such period the $1.0 million charge for stock-based compensation, the $0.7 million litigation settlement charge and the $1.1 million of foreign currency gains on intercompany balances. (Schedule 3 attached to this press release provides a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are both “non-GAAP financial measures” presented as supplemental measures of our performance. They are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. The Company believes these measures provide additional meaningful information in evaluating the Company’s performance over time, and that the rating agencies and a number of lenders use EBITDA and similar measures for similar purposes. In addition, a measure similar to adjusted EBITDA is used in the restrictive covenants contained in the Company’s secured credit facility. However, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In addition, in evaluating EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that, as described above, the adjustments may vary from period to period and in the future we will incur expenses such as those used in calculating these measures. Our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Schedule 3 to this press release provides a reconciliation of net earnings to each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.
