KFORCE INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

REVENUE OF $198.5 MILLION AND EPS OF 14 CENTS

TAMPA, FL – August 2, 2005 – Kforce Inc. (NASDAQ: KFRC), a professional staffing firm, today announced results for the second quarter of 2005. Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $198.5 million compared to $152.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and $192.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The Firm reported net income for the second quarter of 2005 of $5.7 million or 14 cents per share compared to $251,000 or 1 cent per share in the second quarter of 2004 and $3.1 million or 8 cents per share in the first quarter of 2005.

“Earnings exceeded the top end of our guidance which, we believe, reflects our enhanced operating leverage. Positive operating trends for the Firm continued in Q2 as revenues grew sequentially for the seventh straight quarter, search revenues increased for the seventh straight quarter, the spread between bill rates and pay rates improved for the fifth straight quarter, and operating expenses as a percentage of revenue again declined,” said David L. Dunkel, Kforce’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Total Firm revenues in the second quarter were up 30.4% year over year. We believe that our diversified specialty staffing revenue footprint offering both flexible staffing and permanent placement, uniquely positions Kforce to fully leverage revenue opportunities.”

William L. Sanders, President said; “We believe the second quarter marks another milestone in our improved revenue and profitability. We are particularly encouraged that sales associate productivity reached an all-time high in the second quarter. We are also encouraged by improving revenue trends as we enter the second half of 2005. It is noteworthy that July has shown strong improvement, with the week ending July 24^th being the strongest week for flex revenue in the Firm’s history. Search revenues increased in the second quarter for the seventh straight quarter and are now up 40.8% year-over-year. We remain positive for a continued improvement in search revenues in 2005. Our Technology flex practice continues to grow and we are optimistic about our prospects in technology staffing for the second half of the year. We are pleased as well with the sequential growth in Finance and Accounting revenue in the second quarter which historically is the softest quarter of the year. Revenue growth for our HLS group remains strong with 17.1% year over year growth.”

Continued Mr. Sanders; “We continue to see improvement in our margins as Flex Gross Profit increased by 1.3% to 27.2% in Q2 ‘05 from 25.9% in Q1 ‘05 driven by the reduction of payroll

related taxes, business mix and improving spread between bill rate and pay rate. Flex Gross Profit has also improved 90 basis points from 26.3% in Q2 2004. We are optimistic that improvement will continue. The Firm’s continued focus on productivity has resulted in a year over year 25.3% improvement in Gross Profit per person and a 20.5% improvement in revenue per person. As we look forward, we will continue to focus on revenue growth through our emphasis on acquiring and retaining great people.”

Joe Liberatore, Chief Financial Officer added; “Positive operating trends for the Firm continued in Q2 as total revenues, search revenues, gross margins and operating expenses as a percent of revenue all again improved. Earnings per Share of $.14 exceeded the consensus estimate of $.12 and was above our guidance of $.11 - $.13. EBITDA per share in Q2 2005, an indication of cash earnings per share, increased to $.30 per share in the quarter from $.05 in the second quarter last year. Operating expense as a percent to revenue decreased sequentially by .6% from 28.0% to 27.4% and has declined year over year from 30.6%. Days sales outstanding of our accounts receivable also declined slightly to 31.8 days from 32.2 days in Q1 2005, which we believe signifies the continued quality of our accounts receivable portfolio. We continue to maintain a conservative balance sheet and build liquidity. Our strong cash flow funded the repurchase of 751,000 shares of the Firm’s stock during the quarter for $5.9 million or $7.87 per share and $3.9 million in capital expenditures during the quarter while still reducing the outstanding balance on our Credit Facility by $5.5 million. At the end of Q2 2005 bank debt was $30.0 million compared to $35.5 million at the end of Q1 2005.”

Mr. Liberatore continued; “Looking forward to the third quarter, we expect to continue to realize the benefits of the leverage in our operating platform. We believe revenues may be in the $200 million to $205 million range with earnings per share for Q3 of 14 to 16 cents. This reflects approximately 40.0 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding.”

EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. 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.
