NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unless otherwise noted below, there have been no material changes to the accounting policies presented in Note 1 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes normally required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024, was derived from our audited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024, as presented in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our quarterly operating results are affected by the seasonality of our clients’ businesses and changes in holiday and vacation days taken. In addition, we typically experience higher costs in the first quarter of each fiscal year as a result of certain U.S. state and federal employment tax resets, which adversely affects our gross profit and overall profitability relative to the remainder of the fiscal year. As such, the results of operations for any interim period may be impacted by these factors, among others, and are not necessarily indicative of, nor comparable to, the results of operations for a full year.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Kforce Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. References in this document to “Kforce,” the “Company,” the “Firm,” “management,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Kforce Inc. and its subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most critical of these estimates and assumptions relate to the following: income taxes and the evaluation of goodwill for impairment. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual results could be materially different from these estimates.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed as net income divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (“WASO”) during the period. WASO excludes unvested shares of restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by diluted WASO. Diluted WASO includes the effect of potentially dilutive securities, such as unvested shares of restricted stock using the treasury stock method, except where the effect of including potential common shares would be anti-dilutive.

The following table provides information on potentially dilutive securities:

New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance for disclosure improvements for income taxes. These amendments require the disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This new guidance is effective for Kforce for our annual disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2025. This new guidance will modify our disclosures, but we do not expect this standard to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Note B - Reportable Segments

Kforce’s two reportable segments are Technology and FA. Within each segment, we provide highly skilled professionals on a Flex and Direct Hire basis to our customers on traditional staffing engagements and increasingly, within our Technology segment, as a part of an overall solutions engagement. The chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”), our President and Chief Executive Officer, establishes the strategic direction of the Firm, its priorities and longer-term financial objectives. Our CODM is ultimately responsible for evaluating segment performance and making decisions regarding resource allocation. Our CODM evaluates performance based on, among others, revenue trends (relative to peers and market benchmarks) and segment gross profit, and other key leading indicators such as client visits, job order trends for traditional staffing assignments, opportunity pipeline reviews for solutions-oriented engagements, and trends in consultants on assignment. The CODM uses these financial metrics and productivity measures when making decisions about allocating capital and resources to the segments.

Segment gross profit is defined as segment revenue, less direct costs attributable to the reportable segment. The CODM is not provided income from operations or asset information by reportable segment as operations are largely combined.

The following table provides information on the operations of our segments:

Note G - Credit Facility

On October 20, 2021, the Firm entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as lead arranger and bookrunner, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, BMO Harris Bank, N.A., as documentation agent, and the lenders referred to therein (the “Amended and Restated Credit Facility”). Under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, the Firm has a maximum borrowing capacity of $200.0 million, which may, subject to certain conditions and the participation of the lenders, be increased up to an aggregate additional amount of $150.0 million. Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Firm. The maturity date of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility is October 20, 2026.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $65.5 million and $32.7 million was outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, respectively. Kforce had $1.1 million and $1.0 million of outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, reduces the availability of the borrowing capacity. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility.

Note H - Other Long-Term Liabilities

Other long-term liabilities consisted of the following:

Total Other long-term liabilities$53,371$58,059

Note I - Stock-Based Compensation

On April 23, 2025, Kforce’s shareholders approved the 2025 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”). The 2025 Plan allows for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SAR”), stock awards (including restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”)) and other stock-based awards, such as Performance-Based Awards (collectively referred to as “Restricted Stock”). The aggregate number of shares reserved under the 2025 Plan is approximately 2.7 million. Grants of an option or SAR reduce the reserve byone share, while a Restricted Stock award reduces the reserve by 2.72 shares. The 2025 Plan terminates on April 23, 2035.

The following table presents the Restricted Stock activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025:

(in thousands, except per share amounts)Number of Restricted StockWeighted-AverageGrant DateFair ValueTotal IntrinsicValue of RestrictedStock Vested

Vested(6)$24.10$308
Outstanding at March 31, 2025911$61.53

As of March 31, 2025, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock was $39.8 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 4.4 years.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, stock-based compensation expense was $3.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note J - Commitments and Contingencies

Employment Agreements

Kforce has employment agreements with certain executives that provide for certain post-employment benefits under certain circumstances. At March 31, 2025, our liability would be approximately $28.6 million if, following a change in control, all of the executives under contract were terminated without cause by the employer or if the executives resigned for good reason, and $9.3 million if, in the absence of a change in control, all of the executives under contract were terminated by Kforce without cause or if the executives resigned for good reason.

Litigation

We are involved in legal proceedings, claims and administrative matters that arise in the ordinary course of business, and we have made accruals with respect to certain of these matters, where appropriate, that are reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements but are not, individually or in the aggregate, considered material. For other matters for which an accrual has not been made, we have not yet determined that a loss is probable, or the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated. The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain, but we do not expect that these proceedings and claims, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements; however, if decided adversely to us, or if we determine that settlement of particular litigation is appropriate, we may be subject to additional liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Kforce maintains liability insurance that insures us against workers’ compensation, personal and bodily injury, property damage, directors’ and officers’ liability, errors and omissions, cyber liability, employment practices liability and fidelity losses. There can be no assurance that Kforce’s liability insurance will cover all events or that the limits of coverage will be sufficient to fully cover all liabilities.
