NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

3. Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt consisted of the following (in millions):


	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Senior Secured Credit Facility:
Borrowings under $460 million revolving credit facility, due November 2024	$	—	$	31.5
Term B loan facility, due April 2025	490.8		490.8

	1,040.8		1,072.3
Unamortized deferred loan costs	(5.1)		(5.7)
	$	1,035.7	$	1,066.6

Senior Secured Credit Facility — The senior secured credit facility (the "facility") consists of a term B loan and a $460.0 million revolving credit facility (the "revolver"). Borrowings under the term B loan bear interest at the secured overnight financing rate plus a 10 basis points adjustment ("SOFR") plus 1.75 percent, or the bank’s base rate plus 0.75 percent. Borrowings under the revolver bear interest at SOFR plus 1.25 to 2.25 percent, or the bank’s base rate plus 0.25 to 1.25 percent, depending on leverage levels. A commitment fee of 0.20 to 0.35 percent is payable on the undrawn portion of the revolver. There are no required minimum payments on the facility. The revolver is limited to a maximum ratio of senior secured debt to trailing-twelve-months of lender-defined consolidated EBITDA of 3.75 to 1, which was 0.91 to 1 at June 30, 2023. The facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and includes various restrictive covenants. At June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.

Unsecured Senior Notes — The Company has $550.0 million of unsecured senior notes, which bear interest at 4.625 percent payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15. These notes are unsecured obligations and are subordinate to the senior secured credit facility. These notes also contain certain customary limitations including, the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers and acquisitions, transfer or sell assets and make certain distributions.

4. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, and collective class and Private Attorneys General Act ("PAGA") actions alleging violations of wage and hour laws. The Company does not believe that the disposition of matters that are pending or asserted will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

5. Income Taxes

For interim reporting periods, the Company’s provision for income taxes is calculated using its annualized estimated effective tax rate for the year. This rate is based on its estimated full year income and the related income tax expense for each jurisdiction in which the Company operates. The effective tax rate can be affected by changes in the geographical mix, permanent differences and the estimate of full year pretax accounting income. This rate is adjusted for the effects of discrete items occurring in the period.

6. Earnings per Share

The following table shows the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in millions, except per share data).

7. Segment Reporting

ASGN provides information technology ("IT") services and professional solutions, including technology and creative digital marketing, across the commercial and government sectors. ASGN operates through two segments, Commercial and Federal Government. The Commercial Segment, which is the largest segment, provides consulting, creative digital marketing and permanent placement services primarily to large enterprises and Fortune 1000 companies. The Federal Government Segment provides mission-critical solutions to the Department of Defense, the intelligence community and federal civilian agencies. Virtually all of the Company's revenues are generated in the United States.

Management evaluates the performance of each segment primarily based on revenues, gross profit and operating income derived directly from internal financial reporting of the segments used for corporate management purposes, which is presented below by segment (in millions):

Consolidated operating income includes corporate operating expenses, which are not allocated to the segments. These include stock-based compensation expense, depreciation expense, compensation for corporate employees, acquisition, integration and strategic planning expenses and public company expenses.

The majority of the revenues from the Commercial Segment are generated from time-and-materials ("T&M") contracts where payments are based on fixed hourly rates for each direct labor hour expended and reimbursements for allowable material costs and out-of-pocket expenses. Revenues from the Federal Government Segment are generated from: (i) firm-fixed-price, (ii) T&M and (iii) cost reimbursable contracts. Revenues by segment and by type are as follows (in millions):

8. Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements — The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued payroll approximate their fair value based on their short-term nature.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements — Certain assets, such as goodwill and trademarks, are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as, when there is evidence of impairment. There were no fair value adjustments for non-financial assets or liabilities during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

The carrying amount of long-term debt recorded in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2023 was $1.0 billion (see Note 3. Long-Term Debt) and its fair value, determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1 inputs), was slightly less than the carrying amount.

OVERVIEW

ASGN provides information technology ("IT") services and professional solutions, including technology and creative digital marketing, across the commercial and government sectors. We operate through two segments, Commercial and Federal Government. The Commercial Segment, which is the largest segment, provides consulting, creative digital marketing and permanent placement services primarily to large enterprises and Fortune 1000 companies. Our Federal Government Segment provides mission-critical solutions to the Department of Defense, the intelligence community and federal civilian agencies. Virtually all of the Company's revenues are generated in the United States.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022

Revenues

Revenues for the quarter were $1.1 billion, down 1.0 percent over the second quarter of last year. Revenues for the quarter included approximately $52.9 million from businesses acquired in the last 12 months. Excluding the contributions from these recent acquisitions, revenue declined 5.6 percent year-over-year. The table below shows our revenues by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions).

Consolidated	$	1,130.9	$	1,141.8	(1.0	%)		100.0	%	100.0	%

Commercial Segment — Revenues from our Commercial Segment (71.7 percent of total revenues) were down 4.6 percent year-over-year. Assignment revenues were $530.2 million (65.4 percent of the segment's revenues), down 15.6 percent year-over-year. Consulting services revenues were $281.1 million (34.6 percent of the segment's revenues), up 26.5 percent year-over-year. Excluding the contribution of $27.7 million from GlideFast, consulting services revenues were up 14.1 percent.

From an industry perspective, Commercial revenues fall into five broad industry verticals: (i) Financial Services, (ii) Consumer and Industrial, (iii) Technology, Media and Telecom ("TMT"), (iv) Healthcare, and (v) Business and Government Services. Our Consumer and Industrial and Healthcare verticals saw single-digit revenue growth year-over-year. The TMT, Business and Government Services, and Financial Services verticals were down compared with the second quarter of 2022.

Within the Commercial Segment, IT services and solutions division, which accounted for 86.0 percent of the segment's revenues in the quarter, were down 1.3 percent year-over-year. The segment's more discretionary and cyclical divisions, creative digital marketing and permanent placement, accounted for 14.0 percent of the segment's revenues and were down 21.0 percent.

Federal Government Segment — Revenues from our Federal Government Segment (28.3 percent of revenues) were up 9.8 percent year-over-year. Excluding the contribution from Iron Vine of $25.2 million, revenues increased by 1.1 percent.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

The table below shows gross profit and gross margin by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions).


	Gross Profit						Gross Margin
	2023		2022		Change			2023		2022		Change

Commercial	$	260.9	$	281.7	(7.4	%)		32.2	%	33.1	%	(0.9	%)
Federal Government	65.4		62.3		5.0	%		20.5	%	21.4	%	(0.9	%)
Consolidated	$	326.3	$	344.0	(5.1	%)		28.9	%	30.1	%	(1.2	%)

Gross profit is comprised of revenues less costs of services, which consist primarily of compensation for our contract professionals, other direct costs and reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses. Consolidated gross profit was down 5.1 percent year-over-year on a revenue decline of 1.0 percent.

Gross margin was 28.9 percent, a compression of 120 basis points from the second quarter of 2022. Both segments reported compression in gross margin. The compression in gross margin of the Commercial Segment was primarily due to a lower contribution from our more discretionary and cyclical permanent placement and creative digital marketing revenues. The compression in gross margin of the Federal Government Segment was driven by certain higher margin fixed price programs in the previous year.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily of compensation expense for our field operations and corporate staff, rent, information systems, marketing, telecommunications, public company expenses and other general and administrative expenses. SG&A expenses were $210.5 million (18.6 percent of revenues), compared with $220.4 million (19.3 percent of revenues) in the second quarter of 2022. This decrease reflected effective expense management and lower incentive compensation expense.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets was $17.9 million, up from $13.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. This increase reflects amortization expense related to businesses acquired in the second half of last year.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $15.8 million, up from $10.1 million in the second quarter of 2022, primarily as a result of higher interest rates on the senior secured credit facility. Interest expense was comprised of $8.8 million of interest on the senior secured credit facility, $6.4 million of interest on the unsecured senior notes, and $0.6 million in amortization of deferred loan costs. The weighted-average outstanding borrowings and interest rate in the second quarter of 2023 and 2022 were $1.0 billion and 5.8 percent, and $1.0 billion and 3.7 percent, respectively.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $22.0 million, down from $27.4 million in the second quarter of 2022 due to lower income before income taxes. The effective tax rate was 26.8 percent, down from 27.4 percent in the second quarter of 2022.

Income from Continuing Operations

Income from continuing operations was $60.1 million, down from $72.6 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Loss from Discontinued Operations

Loss from discontinued operations was $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Net Income

Net income was $60.1 million, down from $72.5 million in the second quarter of 2022.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 COMPARED WITH THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022

Revenues

Revenues for the first half of the year were $2.3 billion, up 1.2 percent year-over-year. Revenues for the period included approximately $103.3 million from businesses acquired during the last 12 months. Excluding the contributions from acquisitions, revenues declined 3.4 percent year-over-year. The table below shows our revenues by segment for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions).

Consolidated	$	2,259.7	$	2,232.8	1.2	%		100.0	%	100.0	%

Commercial Segment — Revenues from our Commercial Segment (72.7 percent of total revenues) declined 2.4 percent over the first half of last year. Assignment revenues were $1.1 billion (66.4 percent of the segment's revenues), down 13.2 percent year-over-year. Consulting services revenues were $552.8 million (33.6 percent of the segment's revenues), up 29.5 percent year-over-year. Excluding the contribution of $53.6 million from GlideFast, consulting services revenues were up 16.9 percent.

Within the Commercial Segment, IT services and solutions division, which accounted for 85.7 percent of the segment's revenues in the first half of 2022, were up 0.9 percent over the same period last year driven by growth in consulting services and the contribution from GlideFast. The creative digital marketing and permanent placement divisions, which combined accounted for 14.3 percent of the segment's revenues, declined 18.2 percent.

Federal Government Segment — Revenues from our Federal Government Segment (27.3 percent of revenues) were up 12.2 percent year-over-year. Excluding the contribution from Iron Vine of $49.7 million, revenues increased by 3.2 percent.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

The table below shows gross profit and gross margin by segment for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions).


	Gross Profit						Gross Margin
	2023		2022		Change			2023		2022		Change

Commercial	$	523.3	$	554.3	(5.6	%)		31.8	%	32.9	%	(1.1	%)
Federal Government	129.4		116.3		11.3	%		21.0	%	21.2	%	(0.2	%)
Consolidated	$	652.7	$	670.6	(2.7	%)		28.9	%	30.0	%	(1.1	%)

Consolidated gross profit declined 2.7 percent on revenue growth of 1.2 percent. Gross margin was 28.9 percent, a compression of 110 basis points over the first half of 2022. The compression mainly related to business mix, including a slightly higher mix of revenues from the Federal Government Segment, which have a lower gross margin than commercial revenues, and, within the Commercial Segment, a lower mix of creative digital marketing and permanent placement revenues, which have higher gross margins.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses were $434.6 million (19.2 percent of revenues), compared with $432.5 million (19.4 percent of revenues) in the first six months of 2022. The decrease as a percent of revenues reflects effective expense management and lower incentive compensation expense.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Amortization of intangible assets was $36.0 million, up from $27.4 million in the first six months of 2022. This increase reflects amortization expense related to businesses acquired in the second half of last year.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $31.2 million and was comprised of $17.3 million of interest on the senior secured credit facility, $12.8 million of interest on the unsecured senior notes, and $1.1 million in amortization of deferred loan costs. The weighted-average outstanding borrowings were $1.0 billion in both periods and the weighted-average interest rate was 5.8 percent, up from 3.5 percent in the first six months of 2022.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $41.3 million, down from $51.1 million in the first six months of 2022 due to lower income before income taxes. The effective tax rate was 27.4 percent, up from 26.7 percent in the first six months of 2022.

Income from Continuing Operations

Income from continuing operations was $109.6 million, down from $140.2 million in the first six months of 2022.

Income from Discontinued Operations

Loss from discontinued operations was $0.9 million in the first six months of 2022.

Net Income

Net income of $109.6 million, down from $139.3 million in the first six months of 2022.

Commercial Segment - Consulting Metrics

Commercial consulting bookings are the value of new contracts entered into during a specified period, including adjustments for the effects of changes in contract scope and contract terminations ("Bookings"). The underlying contracts are terminable by the client on short notice with little or no termination penalties. The book-to-bill ratio for our commercial consulting revenues is the ratio of Bookings to commercial consulting revenues for a specified period. The average duration of commercial consulting projects is one year.


	Three Months Ended				Trailing-Twelve-Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(Dollars in millions)	2023		2022			2023		2022
Bookings	$	357.3	$	340.6		$	1,303.3	$	1,048.7
Book-to-Bill Ratio	1.3 to 1		1.5 to 1			1.2 to 1		1.3 to 1

Federal Government Segment Metrics

Contract backlog for our Federal Government Segment represents the estimated amount of future revenues to be recognized under awarded contracts, including task orders and options, at a point in time ("Contract Backlog"). These estimates are subject to change and may be affected by the execution of new contracts, the extension or early termination of existing contracts, the non-renewal or completion of current contracts and adjustments to estimates for previously included contracts. The timing of the execution of new contracts and other changes are affected by the funding cycles of the government and can vary from quarter to quarter. New contract awards are the estimated amount of future revenues to be recognized under contracts awarded during a specified period, including adjustments to estimates for contracts awarded in previous periods (“New Contract Awards”). Due to variability, New Contract Awards are presented on a trailing-twelve-months (“TTM”) basis. The book-to-bill ratio for our Federal Government Segment is the ratio of New Contract Awards to revenues for a specified period. Contract backlog coverage ratio is calculated as total Contract Backlog divided by TTM revenues.


	TTM Ended June 30,
(Dollars in millions)	2023		2022
New Contract Awards	$	1,139.4	$	960.1
Book-to-Bill Ratio	0.9 to 1		0.9 to 1

Contract Backlog Coverage Ratio	2.6 to 1		2.9 to 1		2.5 to 1

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working capital, which is current assets less current liabilities, at June 30, 2023 was $555.7 million, and our cash and cash equivalents were $93.8 million. Our cash flows from operating activities have been our primary source of liquidity and have been sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs. At June 30, 2023, we had full availability under the $460.0 million revolving credit facility. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, expected operating cash flows and availability under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fulfill our obligations, working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the next 12 months.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $193.0 million for the first six months of 2023, compared with $144.4 million in the same period of 2022. The year-over-year increase mainly relates to changes in accounts receivable and accounts receivable days sales outstanding.

Net cash used in investing activities was $23.5 million for the first six months of 2023 and included $22.9 million for capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities in the first six months of the prior year was $6.1 million and included $18.4 million for capital expenditures, partially offset by $9.8 million from the sale of a business.

Net cash used in financing activities was $146.0 million for the first six months of 2023 and included $106.4 million to repurchase the Company's common stock, as well as net repayments of borrowings under the revolving credit facility totaling $31.5 million. Net cash used in financing activities in the first six months of the prior year was $177.1 million and primarily consisted of $168.1 million for stock repurchases.

For details on the Company’s senior secured facility, comprised of a revolving credit facility and term B loan, and unsecured senior notes, see Note 3. Long-Term Debt in Part I Item 1.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements that significantly impact the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies

There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the second quarter of 2023 compared with those disclosed in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2022 10-K.

Commitments

There were no material changes to the significant commitments or contractual obligations that were disclosed in our 2022 10-K.

Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

With respect to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about interest rates risks, there have been no material changes to the information included in our 2022 10-K. A hypothetical 100 basis-point change in interest rates on variable-rate debt would have resulted in an interest expense fluctuation of approximately $4.9 million based on $490.8 million of debt outstanding for any 12-month period.

Item 4 — Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term "disclosure controls and procedures" means controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1 — Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, and collective class and PAGA actions alleging violations of wage and hour laws. However, based on the facts currently available, we do not believe that the disposition of matters that are pending or asserted will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A — Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously described in our 2022 10-K.

Item 2 — Unregistered Sales of Securities and Use of Proceeds

On April 24, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase $500.0 million of its common stock over the following two years and this replaces the previous program. Under terms of this program, purchases can be made in the open market or under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of the Company's stock and may be suspended at any time at the Company's discretion.

The Company's repurchases of its common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2023 are shown in the table below.


Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Maximum Number (or Approximate Dollar Value) of Shares That May Yet be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (in millions)
April	58,399	$	71.50	58,399	$	495.8
May	504,914	$	67.34	504,914	$	461.8
June	292,842	$	71.66	292,842	$	440.8
Total	856,155	$	69.10	856,155	$	440.8

In connection with our stock-based compensation plans, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, 125,625 shares of our common stock with an aggregate value of $10.0 million were tendered by employees for payment of applicable statutory tax withholding. These shares are excluded from the table above.

Item 3 — Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4 — Mine Safety Disclosures

None.

Item 5 — Other Information

(c) During the three months ended June 30, 2023, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
