Analysts International Corporation Reports 2008 Second Quarter

Financial Results

Company’s Business Transformation Plan Continues to Progress

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — July 29, 2008 — Analysts International Corporation (NASDAQ: ANLY), a diversified IT services company, today announced its financial results for the 2008 second quarter which ended on June 28, 2008.

§   Revenue totaled $82.0 million for the second quarter of 2008, compared to $89.2 million for the second quarter of 2007. This decrease in revenue is largely the result of lower headcount in our staffing business and a decrease in product sales as the Company transitions to providing clients with higher-value services.

§   Analysts International Corporation reported a net loss of $1.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2008, compared to a net loss of $0.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2007. The reported net losses above included a $0.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, and a $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, charge for restructuring, severance and other consulting costs in the second quarters of 2008 and 2007, respectively.

§   Gross margin was $13.0 million, or 15.8 percent of revenue, for the second quarter of 2008, compared to $14.1 million, or 15.8 percent of revenue, in the second quarter of 2007.  The decrease in gross margin dollars corresponds with the second quarter year-over-year decrease in revenue.

§   Selling, administrative and other expenses declined by $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2008 when compared to the second quarter of 2007, reflecting the Company’s success in implementing its strategy and reducing costs in certain areas.

§   For the six months ended June 28, 2008, the Company reported revenue of $164.8 million compared to $178.4 million for the comparable period a year ago. The net loss for the first half of 2008 was $2.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the first half of 2007. The reported net losses above included a $2.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, and a $1.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, charge for restructuring, severance and other consulting charges, in the second quarters of 2008 and 2007, respectively.

§   Gross margin was $27.6 million, or 16.7% of revenue, in the first half of 2008 compared to $28.7 million, or 16.1% of revenue in the first half of 2007. The decrease in gross margin dollars corresponds with the year-over-year decrease in revenue.

§   Selling, administrative and other expenses declined by $2.7 million for the six months ended June 28, 2008, when compared to the first half of 2007, reflecting the Company’s success in implementing its strategy and reducing costs in certain areas.

“We continue to make steady progress in transforming AIC into a value-driven IT services company that delivers greater value to its shareholders,” said Elmer Baldwin, President and CEO. “Our primary focus for the first half of 2008 has been on aligning our cost structure with the business, making the investments required to increase our mix of higher-margin services and exiting our lowest-margin and non-core lines of business. We expect these changes to result in improved performance and remain on track to achieve sustained profitability in the second half of 2008.

“Although we will continue to look for opportunities to improve our cost structure, the majority of the restructuring is behind us,” continued Baldwin. “Going forward, we will focus on marketing our services, hiring best-in-class people and delivering on the needs and expectations of our clients. AIC’s new business activity remains steady and the number of opportunities to provide premium staffing, high value-add solutions, project-oriented services and managed teams to our clients continues to increase,” said Baldwin.

*To supplement our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) which is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain items. For the 2008 and 2007 periods, we have excluded expenses associated with stock based compensation, severance payments, restructure charges and adjustments, and the costs associated with outside consultants engaged to assist with special strategic initiatives and consideration of an unsolicited acquisition proposal. We believe these adjustments are helpful in providing a meaningful comparison between current results and prior reported results. This non-GAAP financial measure is provided to enhance the user’s overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future. This measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.  The non-GAAP financial measure included in this press release has been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure.
