NEW YORK, NY - July 31, 2012 - Hudson Global, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSON), a leading global talent solutions company, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.

“Our second quarter performance continued to be challenged by deteriorating global economic conditions,” said Manuel Marquez, chairman and chief executive officer at Hudson. “During the quarter, we took substantive actions to accelerate our strategic transformation and better navigate the economic environment we face today. We focused on key businesses and made important progress in streamlining our operations. Our teams around the world made a concerted effort to execute on our plan, allowing us to advance our long-term goals while meeting our expected second quarter financial results.”

“The actions implemented in the second quarter significantly helped offset the impact of our gross margin decline and preserve our liquidity,” said Mary Jane Raymond, Hudson's chief financial officer. “The most important element of our actions has been to advance a leaner front office model, allowing progress toward an overall more efficient operating structure.”
Strategic Transformation
The company announced in May that the strategic transformation launched in 2011 would be fast-tracked during 2012. That accelerated plan focused on:
• | Redirecting resources to, and driving sustainable growth from, high potential strategic businesses, RPO and eDiscovery, and focusing on the growth markets of the world. |
• | Optimizing its operations in underperforming sectors and markets to deliver improved performance, re-engineering its delivery model, and consolidating operations globally. |
• | Streamlining its back office support areas and business processes, and establishing a shared services operation and global centers of excellence, to gain significant efficiencies of operation. |
The actions during the second quarter consolidated five offices around the globe and eliminated 160 positions, resulting in a restructuring charge of $5 million. Year to date, the company has eliminated 180 positions, or 8 percent of the company's total employee base, resulting in a $6 million charge. During 2012, the total restructuring charge is expected to be $8 million to $10 million, including $1 million to $2 million in the third quarter. Cost savings are expected to offset 50 percent of the charge in 2012, with annualized cost savings of twice the charge expected.
As part of that plan to reposition the business, the company took these specific actions in the second quarter:
• | Moved leaders into key positions in high potential businesses and markets including RPO, Legal eDiscovery and Asia. |
• | Re-focused field operations on its largest clients around the globe, shifting responsibilities and streamlining the delivery model. |
• | Sharpened the focus of the IT Practice in the Americas on its largest markets and clients, consolidating offices and reducing headcount. |
• | Reduced management and support services in underperforming markets in France, U.K., Middle East and Financial Solutions in the Americas. |
• | Removed organizational layers and associated support positions in Asia Pacific to get management closer to the client. |
• | Streamlined back office operations in the Americas and Asia Pacific. |
• | Established shared services in select locations around the world. |
• | Consolidated offices to more efficiently support the business and back office needs through the closing of 5 properties and vacating 14,000 square feet in the London office. |

Regional Highlights
Americas
Hudson Americas' gross margin decreased 5 percent in the second quarter compared with the prior year period. Permanent recruitment gross margin grew by 41 percent, driven by strong, double-digit growth in RPO. Temporary contracting gross margin declined by 16 percent, primarily due to reduced project demand in Legal eDiscovery, compared with a strong second quarter a year ago. SG&A expenses were tightly controlled through both restructuring and strong cost management, resulting in a year-over-year reduction of 11 percent, more than double that of the decline in gross margin. As a result, adjusted EBITDA increased 33 percent from a year ago, reaching $2.5 million for the second quarter, or 5.4 percent of revenue, compared with $1.8 million a year ago. Hudson's IT business in the Americas was named Best in Staffing by the American Staffing Association for the third consecutive year.
Asia Pacific
Asia Pacific's gross margin was down 18 percent in constant currency in the second quarter from the prior year period, driven by a 24 percent decline in permanent recruitment gross margin. Talent Management continued to outperform, with double-digit gross margin growth in the quarter on increases in assessment services. SG&A decreased by 14 percent over the same period last year and headcount was reduced by 16 percent since the second quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA declined to $3.7 million, or 4.8 percent of revenue, from $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2011.
Europe
Gross margin in Europe was down 16 percent in constant currency in the second quarter compared with the second quarter of 2011, as the European economic crisis continues to impact business across the region. Slower demand in the Financial Services sector remained a key contributing factor in the drop in gross margin in the U.K., while a decline in permanent recruitment in France drove continental Europe gross margin lower. Despite the debt crisis in Europe, the Netherlands continued to grow its contract solutions business and Belgium's business remained resilient. Overall SG&A and headcount were driven down 11 percent and 13 percent, respectively, from the same period a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA of $2.4 million, or 3.0 percent of revenue, was down from $5.5 million a year ago.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The company ended the second quarter of 2012 with $80.3 million in liquidity, composed of $28.9 million in cash and $51.3 million in availability under its credit facilities. The company generated $8.2 million in cash flow from operations during the quarter including $3.9 million of landlord-funded leasehold improvements in Asia Pacific. The company had $1.5 million in outstanding borrowings at the end of the second quarter, compared with no borrowings at the end of the first quarter of 2012.

Business Outlook
Given deteriorating economic conditions and the continuing weakness in the financial services sector, the company expects sequential third quarter 2012 revenue to decline by as much as 7 percent. Against prior year, revenue may decline by more than 20 percent at prevailing exchange rates. The company expects third quarter 2012 adjusted EBITDA between $0 and $2 million before restructuring charges and anticipates the charge in the quarter will range from $1 million to $2 million. This compares with revenue of $245.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2011.

HUDSON GLOBAL, INC.
RECONCILIATION FOR CONSTANT CURRENCY
(in thousands)
(unaudited)
The company operates on a global basis, with the majority of our gross margin generated outside of the United States. Accordingly, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can affect our results of operations. Constant currency information compares financial results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period-over-period. The company currently defines the term “constant currency” to mean that financial data for a previously reported period are translated into U.S. dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate financial data for the current period. Changes in revenue, gross margin, selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), business reorganization expenses and other non-operating income (expense), operating income (loss) and EBITDA (loss) 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.
