Analysts International Revises Guidance Following Steps

to Capitalize on Current Market Conditions; Sets Conference Call

 

MINNEAPOLISSeptember 30, 2003Analysts International (Nasdaq: ANLY) announced today that it expects to report revenue for the quarter ending September 30, 2003 of just over $80 million and to report a loss for the quarter of approximately $500,000, or $(0.02) per share.  The Company had anticipated revenue to be slightly higher and earnings of $0.01 per share.

 

Company officials noted that the revised revenue guidance was due to some continued pricing pressure, but that the earnings revision was primarily due to two factors: $400,000 in severance and related expenses incurred in repositioning the Company’s management structure and an additional $300,000 investment in sales and recruiting initiatives.

 

Michael J. LaVelle, President and Chief Executive Officer  stated, “While the quarter’s results are lower than originally forecast, recent activity suggests a pick up in demand.  We are repositioning our management structure and making additional investments in sales and recruiting initiatives to take advantage of the current market conditions.  We look forward to benefiting from these initiatives going forward.”

 

The Company stated that it expects to release earnings for the quarter before the market open on Wednesday, October 22, 2003, and has scheduled a conference call that day to discuss the results of the quarter at 9:30 CDT. To participate in the conference call, interested parties are invited to dial 888-397-6437 a few minutes before the scheduled start and ask for the Analysts International call and leader Mike LaVelle, or visit the Company’s web site at www.analysts.com to link to a live Webcast.  A replay of the call will be available on the Company’s Website.
