We are excited to extend their capabilities across our Fortune 1000 client base, enabling our clients to leverage their offshore delivery, while also benefiting from Quinnox's longstanding customer relationships in critical commercial industries."

Quinnox's US and European client base spans five key industries – Business & Financial Services, Environment & Energy, Consumer Retail, Distribution & Transportation, and Manufacturing – all complementary to that of ASGN. With an average client tenure of over a decade, Quinnox has grown organically since its founding.

Commenting on the opportunity ahead, ASGN President Shiv Iyer, noted, "Integrating Quinnox's global delivery platform and deep expertise will allow us to immediately deliver scalable, efficient digital engineering solutions that meet evolving enterprise needs.

Our shared values of agility, innovation, and deep client engagement create a powerful foundation for collaboration. By combining our proprietary IP assets with highly mature solution delivery excellence through our global capability delivery center, we will uniquely catapult Quinnox to the next level of accelerated growth. Additionally, with ASGN's deep industry expertise and client-centric approach, we're positioned to transform the way tailored digital solutions are delivered."

Quinnox generated approximately $100 million in revenue in 2025 and is expected to achieve low-to-mid teens revenue growth in 2026. The Company also anticipates Adjusted EBITDA margins in the low 20-percent range for the year. Quinnox's results will be included in ASGN's results from the date of closing of the acquisition and are expected to be accretive to Adjusted EPS in the first full year post close. Revenue and margin estimates do not include any revenue synergies related to ASGN's current pipeline of opportunities.

ClearSight Advisors Inc. served as ASGN's financial advisor, while Sullivan & Cromwell LLP was retained as legal advisor for the transaction.

Updates to Previously Announced Financial Estimates for Q4 2025

Anticipating solid results for the fourth quarter of 2025, ASGN reconfirmed today that it expects revenues will be at the high end of the previously announced guidance range of $960 million to $980 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2025 is also expected to be at the high end of the previously announced range of $102 million to $107 million.

ASGN continues to maintain a balanced capital allocation strategy that includes investments in organic growth, M&A, and share repurchases. During the fourth quarter, ASGN repurchased 1.4 million shares for $64.2 million at an average share price of $46.05. ASGN has $972 million remaining under its recently announced $1 billion share buyback program, the largest in its history.

ASGN's strong Free Cash Flow generation provides the ability to accelerate organic growth through strategic acquisitions. Acquisitions and share repurchase are not mutually exclusive. Free Cash Flow conversion during the fourth quarter of 2025 exceeded ASGN's target range of 60 to 65 percent of Adjusted EBITDA, reflecting strong operational execution and disciplined working capital management. As noted during the November 2025 Investor Day, ASGN anticipates Free Cash Flow to be roughly $1 billion over the next three years.

A reconciliation of fourth quarter of 2025 estimated net income to estimated EBITDA is included in a table that accompanies this release.
