“Our fourth quarter and full-year results demonstrate the value of our geographic diversity and depth of specialization,” said Jon Chait, Hudson Highland Group chairman and chief executive officer. “Our international operations delivered an adjusted EBITDA margin greater than seven percent, which is in our long-term target range. With this week’s Energy and Engineering business sale, we have completed our non-core divestitures and are focused globally on specialized high-margin business segments with strong growth potential. We believe Hudson is well positioned today regardless of what the economy may bring.”

Mary Jane Raymond, executive vice president and chief financial officer, added, “We expect earnings improvement in 2008 as a result of our stronger core focus, process re-engineering in North America and continued strength of our international operations. Additionally, strong cash flow in the fourth quarter and transaction proceeds provide financial flexibility for investments.”

Sale of Energy and Engineering Business

On February 4, 2008, the company announced it had completed the asset sale of its energy and engineering staffing businesses to System One Holdings LLC. The company received approximately $11 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustment; a five-year $5 million seller note; and a warrant exercisable for 10 percent of the equity of System One. Hudson Highland Group also has the right to receive an additional $600,000 in cash upon resolution of certain liabilities, and has retained $3.6 million of receivables of the business. The company will treat the business as a discontinued operation effective December 31, 2007.

Sale of Netherlands Reintegration Business

On December 20, 2007, the company announced it had completed the sale of its Dutch Reintegration subsidiary, Hudson Human Capital Solutions B.V. to Workx! Holding B.V. The company recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $5.0 million, including $7.4 million in accumulated foreign currency translation gains. As of December 1, 2007, the business was considered a discontinued operation.

Share Repurchase Program

On February 4, 2008, the company announced that its board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $15 million of the company’s common stock. The company intends to make purchases from time to time as market conditions warrant.

Guidance

The company currently expects first quarter 2008 revenue of $285 - $300 million at prevailing exchange rates and adjusted EBITDA of $2 - $5 million, excluding the impact of any restructuring, acquisitions or divestitures. This compares with revenue of $288.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2007.

During 2008, the company intends to streamline its support operations to match its narrowed focus on specialization. Although the company has not committed to take any such actions, the company expects to have $5 - $7 million of restructuring actions through this year, including $1 - $3 million in the first quarter.

RECONCILIATION FOR CONSTANT CURRENCY

(in thousands)

(unaudited)

The company defines the term “constant currency” to mean that financial data for a period are translated into U.S. Dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate financial data for the previously reported period. Changes in revenues, direct costs, gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses include the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Variance analysis usually describes period-to-period variances that are calculated using constant currency as a percentage. The company’s management reviews and analyzes business results in constant currency and believes these results better represent the company’s underlying business trends.

The company believes that these calculations are a useful measure, indicating the actual change in operations. Earnings from subsidiaries are rarely repatriated to the United States, and there are no significant gains or losses on foreign currency transactions between subsidiaries. Therefore, changes in foreign currency exchange rates generally impact only reported earnings and not the company’s economic condition.
