KFORCE INC. REPORTS RECORD REVENUE AND 97% NET

EARNINGS GROWTH FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2006

• EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $0.15

• SEARCH REVENUE INCREASED 25.4% SEQUENTIALLY

TAMPA, FL – May 2, 2006 – Kforce Inc. (NASDAQ: KFRC), a professional staffing firm, today announced results for the first quarter of 2006. Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were $222.3 million compared to $192.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and $203.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. The Firm reported net income for the first quarter of 2006 of $6.1 million or 15 cents per share versus net income of $3.1 million or 8 cents per share for the first quarter of 2005 representing a year-over-year improvement of 97%. Net income was $6.9 million or 17 cents per share for the fourth quarter of 2005.

“We are pleased with our first quarter results which, we believe, demonstrate the Firm’s operating leverage as evidenced by earnings per share that exceeded the top of our guidance. Our quarterly revenue of $222.3 million is a record for the Firm. Our search revenue sequential improvement of 25.4% was the highest sequential search increase in the Firm’s history. We believe the search environment remains positive, particularly in the skilled niches, as college educated unemployment is at 2.2%. Total Firm revenue per billing day of $3.5 million in the first quarter was also a Firm record,” said David L. Dunkel, Kforce’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We were pleased to finalize the acquisition of Pinkerton Computer Consultants, Inc. and join forces with highly talented field professionals who we have welcomed to the Kforce family.” Continued Mr. Dunkel, “We believe it is increasingly clear that professional and technical staffing are the sweet spots of the staffing sector. We move forward with confidence and believe Kforce is better prepared than ever before to take advantage of changes in the marketplace and deliver exceptional results to our customers and shareholders. We believe our diverse professional and technical service offerings uniquely position Kforce in the areas that will be in greatest demand for the foreseeable future.”

William L. Sanders, President said: “We continued to make progress across the business during the first quarter. We are particularly pleased to have hit another all time high in total Firm revenue. Our sustained improvement in productivity and strong execution resulted in the following operating highlights:

• Gross Profit percentage of 33.3% in Q1 ‘06 has improved 220 basis points year-over-year from 31.1% in Q1 ’05 and increased by 10 basis points from 33.2% in Q4 ’05.

• Flex Gross Profit percentage of 27.8% in Q1 ’06 has improved 190 basis points from 25.9% in Q1 ’05 and declined by 70 basis points from 28.5% in Q4 ‘05, driven by the impact of first quarter payroll related taxes.

• The Firm’s average hourly bill rate has increased $6.74 (16.0%) year-over-year. The increase has been evidenced across all business lines, with year-over-year improvements of $4.73 (8.0%) in Tech, $6.12 (22.4%) in FA and $3.04 (6.7%) in HLS.”

Continued Mr. Sanders, “We remain focused on client selection and profitability and believe this focus has enabled us to continue to achieve improving results. We have achieved record revenues in this quarter and improved gross margins 360 basis points over the last two years. Consequently, our operating margins continue to improve. As we look forward, we believe our recent aggressive hiring, especially in search, should allow us to take advantage of a strong staffing environment. We believe an intense focus on direct hire revenues, strong pricing discipline and superior execution will allow us to drive revenue growth with margin expansion and significant returns for our shareholders.”

Joe Liberatore, Chief Financial Officer added: “Overall, positive operating trends for the Firm continued in Q1 2006, reflective of our improving profitability. We continue to make excellent progress toward achieving our target earnings before taxes of 8-10% of revenues.

Financial highlights for Q1 include:

• Revenue of $222.3 million represents a 15.2% year-over-year growth from Q1 ’05 and a 9.2% sequential increase over Q4 ’05.

• Search revenue of $16.8 million increased year-over-year by 24.5%, and was up sequentially by 25.4%, representing the highest sequential increase in Firm history.

• Search increased as a percentage of total revenue to 7.6% as compared to 7% a year ago.

• Revenue per billing day in Q1 ’06 increased year-over-year by 15.2% to an all time Firm high of $3.5 million from $3.1 million in Q1 ’05 and was up sequentially by 5.7%.

• Net Income in Q1 ’06 of $6.1 million increased 97% year-over-year from $3.1 million in Q1 ’05.

• EPS of $.15 exceeded our guidance of $.11 - $.14.

• EBITDA in Q1 ’06 of $13.9 million, or $.34 per share, increased 70.7% year-over-year from $8.1 million, or $.20 per share in Q1 ’05 and decreased sequentially by 5.5% driven by first quarter payroll related taxes and integration expenses.

• DSO in AR remains at low levels at 39.9 days in Q1 ’06. DSO in AR was 37 days in Q4 ’05.”

Mr. Liberatore continued: “Looking forward to the second quarter, we believe revenues may be in the $230 million to $235 million range and earnings per share for Q2 of $0.19 to $0.22 cents, which reflects approximately 41.5 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding.”

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