Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- General
Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The December 31, 2024 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements. The financial statements include adjustments consisting of normal recurring items, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of ASGN Incorporated and its subsidiaries ("ASGN" or the "Company") and its results of operations for the interim dates and periods set forth herein. The results for any of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other period. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 ("2024 10-K").
- Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments Credit Losses (Topic 326), which aims to simplify the measurement of credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This amendment introduces a practical expedient allowing entities to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date remain unchanged for the asset's remaining life when estimating expected credit losses. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the adoption of the standard update.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), to modernize accounting for software costs by removing outdated guidance and better reflect current development practices. The amendment removes all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (e.g., preliminary, application development, post-implementation) and allows for capitalization of software costs once management approves funding and completion is likely. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact the standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company is required to make quarterly minimum principal payments until maturity as follows: (i) for term loan A, payments totaling$2.5 million for the first year and$5.0 million annually thereafter, and (ii) for term loan B, payments totaling$5.0 million annually. These payments are reflected in other current liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Considering the annual required principal payments for the term loans, the balances due at maturity will be$90.0 million for term loan A and$466.3 million for term loan B.
Senior Secured Credit Facility — In July 2025, the Company amended its senior secured credit facility (the "facility”). The amendment provided an incremental term loan facility ("term loan A") in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million. Term loan A bears interest, at the Company's election, at (i) the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") plus 1.50 to 2.50 percent, or (ii) the bank's base rate plus 0.50 to 1.50 percent. Borrowings under the $490.0 million term loan B bear interest, at the Company's election, at (i) SOFR plus 1.75 percent, or (ii) the bank’s base rate plus 0.75 percent. Borrowings under the $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the "revolver") bear interest, at the Company's election, at (i) SOFR plus a 10 basis points adjustment plus 2.00 to 3.00 percent, or (ii) the bank’s base rate plus 1.00 to 2.00 percent, depending on leverage levels. A commitment fee of 0.30 to 0.45 percent is payable on the undrawn portion of the revolver. The facility is subject to various restrictive covenants, including a maximum ratio of senior secured debt to trailing-twelve-months of lender-defined consolidated EBITDA of 3.75 to 1, which was 1.45 to 1 at September 30, 2025. The facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and at September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.
Unsecured Senior Notes— The Company has $550.0 million of unsecured senior notes, due in 2028, 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.
- 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.
- 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 pre-tax accounting income. This rate is adjusted for the effects of discrete items occurring in the period.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"), which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, was signed into law in the United States. The Company does not expect the OBBBA to materially affect its estimated effective tax rate.

- 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025.
The carrying amount of long-term debt recorded in the Company’s accompanying condensed consoli dated balance sheet at September 30, 2025 was $1.2 billion (see Note 6. Long-Term Debt) and its fair value was slightly less than the carrying value. The fair value for the term loan B and senior notes was determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the fair value for the term loan A was determined using quotes prices in active markets for similar liabilities (Level 2 inputs). The carrying value of the revolving credit facility approximates its fair value.
