KFORCE INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER REVENUE OF $188.9 MILLION

EPS of $0.16 EXCEEDS RANGE

TAMPA, FL – October 26, 2004 – Kforce Inc. (NASDAQ: KFRC), a professional staffing firm, today announced results for the third quarter of 2004. Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 was $188.9 million compared to $123.0 million for the third quarter of 2003 and $152.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The Firm reported earnings for the third quarter of 2004 of $6,047,000 or $.16 per share compared to $1,354,000 or $.04 per share in the third quarter of 2003 and $251,000 or $.01 per share in the second quarter of 2004.

“We are very pleased with our third quarter results. We continued to see growth throughout the quarter in both flexible staffing and permanent placement. The third quarter of 2004 marks the fourth continuous quarter of sequential search improvement. Recently released Bureau of Labor statistics indicate that the unemployment rate of college educated workers dropped in September to 2.6%. Compared to past expansions, the data suggests that we are still early in the job creation cycle. It is also interesting to note that one-third of the total jobs created in September were in flexible staffing,” said David L. Dunkel, Kforce’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We believe our results for the third quarter are indicative of the focus and discipline that we maintained throughout the acquisition and integration of Hall Kinion/OnStaff during which time we have continued to grow our business. We also believe that the acquisition has resulted in new revenue opportunities and we are able to capitalize on our expanded footprint and enhanced capabilities. Third quarter results produced by our team are an example of our guiding principle that Great People = Great Results ^SM.”

William L. Sanders, President, added, “In the third quarter we began to see the many benefits of our expanded operating platform. We continued to see growth in the third quarter for each of our business units with particular strength in the Finance and Accounting group. Q3 marks the sixth straight quarter of improvement in Technology flexible staffing, which we believe, may be further strengthened as the environment in 2005 improves. Weekly revenue continued to improve post-merger with the week of September 26^th being the highest revenue week of the year for the Firm. This fact is even more significant as we had eliminated approximately $4 million (quarterly) of Technology staffing revenue in the prior weeks that failed to meet Kforce margin requirements.”

“Revenue in the third quarter of $188.9 million represents a 24.1% increase from Q2 and includes a full quarter of revenue from the Hall Kinion/OnStaff acquisition. Search revenue, which was minimally impacted by the transaction, increased 16.2% sequentially to $11.5 million. As expected, operating expenses decreased to 27.4% in Q3, down from 30.6% in Q2, reflecting

increased operating leverage and less transaction related expenses. The fourth quarter contains less actual billing days than in the third quarter, as well as client shutdowns in the Clinical Research and Scientific sectors around the holidays, which will result in three less billing days in the fourth quarter. We are encouraged by the positive revenue trends in the first weeks of the fourth quarter and expect sequential growth on a billing day basis of three to five percent.”

“If current trends were to continue, and reflecting the loss of a low margin client ($4 million per quarter) and less billing days in Q4 as previously noted, we believe the fourth quarter revenue may be in the range of $185 to $188 million. Earnings from operations may be 11 to 14 cents which includes approximately 7 cents for incremental severance costs, re-branding costs associated with the Hall Kinion/OnStaff acquisition, expenses to re-engineer our order to cash process and the addition of 25 percent more search sales associates.”

Kforce will host a conference call today to discuss these results. The call will begin at 5:00 p.m. EDT. The dial-in number is 1-617-786-2961, pass code 82882448.

EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and change in accounting principle. EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Items excluded from EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. EBITDA is a key measure used by management to evaluate its operations and to provide useful information to investors. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows data or other financial statement information presented in the consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is thus susceptible to varying calculations. EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
