    Long-term debt$1,034.4 $1,036.6 
    __________
    The Company is required to make quarterly minimum principal payments totaling $5.0 million annually on the term loan until its maturity date; this amount is included in other current liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Taking into consideration the $5.0 million annual required principal payments, the balance due at maturity will be $466.3 million.

    Senior Secured Credit Facility — In March 2024, the Company amended its senior secured credit facility (the "facility") with a 50-basis point reduction in the term loan B ("term loan") interest rate. As a result, borrowings under the $495.0 million term loan bear interest, at the Company's election, at (i) the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") plus 1.75 percent, or (ii) the bank’s base rate plus 1.00 percent. Related to the debt amendment there were $0.9 million of costs. The Company accounted for the debt amendment as a modification and, accordingly, these costs were expensed as incurred. There was an insignificant amount of previously capitalized costs that were written off. Borrowings under the $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the "revolver") bear interest, at the Company's election, at (i) SOFR plus a 10 basis points adjustment plus 2.00 to 3.00 percent, or (ii) the bank’s base rate plus 1.00 to 2.00 percent, depending on leverage levels. A commitment fee of 0.30 to 0.45 percent is payable on the undrawn portion of the revolver. The facility is subject to various restrictive covenants including, when amounts are drawn under the revolver, a maximum ratio of senior secured debt to trailing-twelve-months of lender-defined consolidated EBITDA of 3.75 to 1, which was 1.07 to 1 at September 30, 2024. The facility is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets and at September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.

    Unsecured Senior Notes — The Company has $550.0 million of unsecured senior notes, due in 2028, which bear interest at 4.625 percent payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15. These notes are unsecured obligations and are subordinate to the senior secured credit facility. These notes also contain certain customary limitations including, the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers and acquisitions, transfer or sell assets, and make certain distributions.

    4. Commitments and Contingencies

    The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, and collective class and Private Attorneys General Act ("PAGA") actions alleging violations of wage and hour laws. The Company does not believe that the disposition of matters that are pending or asserted will have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

    5. Income Taxes

    For interim reporting periods, the Company’s provision for income taxes is calculated using its annualized estimated effective tax rate for the year. This rate is based on its estimated full year income and the related income tax expense for each jurisdiction in which the Company operates. The effective tax rate can be affected by changes in the geographical mix, permanent differences, and the estimate of full year pretax accounting income. This rate is adjusted for the effects of discrete items occurring in the period.

    7. Segment Reporting

    ASGN provides information technology ("IT") services and professional solutions across the commercial and government sectors. ASGN operates through two segments, Commercial and Federal Government. The Commercial Segment, which is the largest segment, provides consulting, creative digital marketing, and permanent placement services primarily to Fortune 1000 and large mid-market companies. The Federal Government Segment provides advanced IT solutions to the Department of Defense, the intelligence community, and federal civilian agencies. Virtually all of the Company's revenues are generated in the United States.

    Management evaluates the performance of each segment primarily based on revenues, gross profit, and operating income derived directly from internal financial reporting of the segments used for corporate management purposes, which is presented below by segment (in millions):

    Virtually all of the revenues from the Commercial Segment are generated from time-and-materials ("T&M") contracts where payments are based on fixed hourly rates for each direct labor hour expended and reimbursements for allowable material costs and out-of-pocket expenses. Revenues from the Federal Government Segment are generated from: (i) firm-fixed-price, (ii) T&M, and (iii) cost reimbursable contracts. Revenues by segment and by type are as follows (in millions):

    8. Fair Value Measurements

    Recurring Fair Value Measurements — The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued payroll approximate their fair value based on their short-term nature.

    Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements — Certain assets, such as goodwill and trademarks, are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as, when there is evidence of impairment. There were no fair value adjustments for non-financial assets or liabilities during the three months ended September 30, 2024.

    The carrying amount of long-term debt recorded in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2024 was $1.0 billion (see Note 3. Long-Term Debt) and its fair value, determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1 inputs), was slightly less than the carrying value.

    OVERVIEW

    ASGN provides information technology ("IT") services and solutions across the commercial and government sectors. ASGN operates through two segments, Commercial and Federal Government. The Commercial Segment, which is the largest segment, provides consulting, creative digital marketing, and permanent placement services primarily to Fortune 1000 and large mid-market companies.

Virtually all of the Company's revenues are generated in the United States.

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

    Revenues

    Revenues for the quarter were $1.0 billion, down 7.7 percent year-over-year. The table below shows our revenues by segment for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in millions).
    % of Total

    From an industry perspective, the Company operates in six broad industry verticals. Commercial Segment revenues (69.7 percent of total revenues) were down 8.1 percent year-over-year and are categorized in five verticals: (i) Financial Services, (ii) Consumer and Industrial, (iii) Technology, Media, and Telecom ("TMT"), (iv) Healthcare, and (v) Business Services. The TMT industry vertical had double-digit growth, while Consumer and Industrial was up low single digits year-over-year. The remaining three industry verticals declined year-over-year. Federal Government Segment revenues (30.3 percent of total revenues), the sixth industry vertical, were down 6.6 percent year-over-year, reflecting lower third-party software licenses revenues compared with the prior year.

    Total IT consulting revenues were $597.2 million (57.9 percent of total revenues), down 1.9 percent year-over-year. Commercial Segment consulting revenues were $285.0 million, up 3.9 percent year-over-year. Federal Government Segment revenues, which are all consulting revenues, were $312.2 million, down 6.6 percent year-over-year as stated above. Assignment revenues, which totaled $433.8 million (42.1 percent of total revenues), were down 14.6 percent year-over-year, reflecting continued softness in the portions of the Commercial Segment business that are more sensitive to changes in macroeconomic cycles (i.e., more cyclical).

    Gross Profit and Gross Margin

    The table below shows gross profit and gross margin by segment for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in millions).

    Consolidated$300.4 $322.4 (6.8 %)29.1 %28.9 %0.2 %


    11


    Gross profit is comprised of revenues less costs of services, which consist primarily of compensation for our contract professionals, other direct costs, and reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses.

    Consolidated gross profit declined 6.8 percent year-over-year on a revenue decline of 7.7 percent. Gross margin for the third quarter of 2024 was 29.1 percent, an expansion of 20 basis points compared with the third quarter of 2023. Gross margin for the Commercial Segment was up 30 basis points, reflecting a higher mix of consulting revenues as well as margin expansion in these revenues. Gross margin for the Federal Government Segment was up 30 basis points due to lower third-party software licenses revenues, which carry lower margins.

    Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
     
    Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses consist primarily of compensation expense for our field operations and corporate staff, information systems, rent, public company expenses, and other general and administrative expenses. SG&A expenses were $207.5 million, compared with $206.0 million in the third quarter of 2023. The higher SG&A expenses reflected higher legal settlement expenses and depreciation and amortization of capitalized cloud implementation costs.

    Amortization of Intangible Assets

    Amortization of intangible assets was $14.0 million, compared with $17.8 million in the third quarter of 2023. The decrease was due to the accelerated amortization method of certain acquired intangibles, which have high amortization rates at the beginning of their useful lives.

    Interest Expense, Net

    Interest expense, net, which consists primarily of cash-based interest expense, amortization and adjustments to deferred loan costs, and interest income, was $16.0 million, down from $18.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. The decrease is attributable to $2.3 million of costs in the prior year period that related to the August 2023 amendments to the senior secured credit facility. The weighted-average outstanding borrowings and cash-based interest rate in the third quarter of 2024 and 2023 were $1.0 billion and 6.0 percent for both periods.

    Provision for Income Taxes
     
    The provision for income taxes was $15.4 million, down from $20.7 million in the third quarter of 2023 due to lower income before income taxes. The effective tax rate was 24.5 percent, down from 25.8 percent in the third quarter of 2023.

    Net Income

    Net income was $47.5 million, down from $59.4 million in the third quarter of 2023.

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 COMPARED WITH THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

    Revenues

    Revenues for the first nine months of the year were $3.1 billion, down 7.8 percent year-over-year. The table below shows our revenues by segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in millions).

    Gross Profit and Gross Margin

    The table below shows gross profit and gross margin by segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in millions).

    Gross ProfitGross Margin
    20242023Change20242023Change
    Commercial $706.9 $777.5 (9.1 %)32.5 %32.1 %0.4 %

    Consolidated$897.7 $975.1 (7.9 %)28.8 %28.9 %(0.1 %)


    Consolidated gross profit declined 7.9 percent year-over-year on a revenue decline of 7.8 percent. Gross margin was 28.8 percent, a compression of 10 basis points from the first nine months of 2023. The compression mainly related to business mix, including a higher mix of revenues from the Federal Government Segment, which have a lower gross margin than Commercial Segment revenues.

    Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
     
    SG&A expenses were $623.3 million, down from $640.6 million in the first nine months of 2023. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily related to lower compensation-related expenses.

    Amortization of Intangible Assets

    Amortization of intangible assets was $44.2 million, compared with $53.8 million in the first nine months of 2023. The decrease was due to the accelerated amortization method of certain acquired intangibles, which have high amortization rates at the beginning of their useful lives.

    Interest Expense, Net

    Interest expense, net was $49.4 million, down from $49.7 million in the first nine months of 2023. The decrease was primarily the result of higher interest income and lower debt amendment fees (related to refinancing the senior secured credit facility in both periods), partially offset by higher interest expense on the senior secured credit facility. The weighted-average outstanding borrowings for the first nine months of 2024 and 2023 were $1.05 billion and the cash-based interest rate was 6.1 percent and 5.8 percent (excluding costs related to debt amendments), respectively.

    Provision for Income Taxes
     
    The provision for income taxes was $48.0 million, down from $62.0 million in the first nine months of 2023 due to lower income before income taxes. The effective tax rate was 26.5 percent, down from 26.8 percent in the first nine months of 2023.

    Net Income

    Net income was $132.8 million, down from $169.0 million in the first nine months of 2023.

    Commercial Segment - Consulting Metrics

    Commercial consulting bookings are the value of new contracts entered into during a specified period, including adjustments for the effects of changes in contract scope and contract terminations ("Bookings"). The underlying contracts are terminable by the client on short notice with little or no termination penalties. Measuring Bookings involves the use of estimates and judgments and there are no independent standards or requirements governing the calculation of Bookings. Information regarding Bookings is not comparable to, nor should it be substituted for, an analysis of reported revenues. The book-to-bill ratio for our commercial consulting revenues is the ratio of Bookings to commercial consulting revenues for a specified period. The average duration of commercial consulting projects is one year.

    Federal Government Segment Metrics

    Contract backlog for our Federal Government Segment represents the estimated amount of future revenues to be recognized under awarded contracts, including task orders and options, at a point in time ("Contract Backlog"). These estimates are subject to change and may be affected by the execution of new contracts, the extension or early termination of existing contracts, the non-renewal or completion of current contracts, and adjustments to estimates for previously included contracts. The timing of the execution of new contracts and other changes are affected by the funding cycles of the government and can vary from quarter to quarter. New contract awards are the estimated amount of future revenues to be recognized under contracts awarded during a specified period, including adjustments to estimates for contracts awarded in previous periods (“New Contract Awards”). Information regarding New Contract Awards is not comparable to, nor should it be substituted for, an analysis of reported revenues. Due to variability, New Contract Awards are presented on a trailing-twelve-months (“TTM”) basis. The book-to-bill ratio for our Federal Government Segment is the ratio of New Contract Awards to revenues for a specified period. Contract Backlog coverage ratio is calculated as total Contract Backlog divided by TTM revenues.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources
     
    Our working capital, which is current assets less current liabilities, at September 30, 2024 was $503.7 million, and our cash and cash equivalents were $166.6 million. Our cash flows from operating activities have been our primary source of liquidity and have been sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs. At September 30, 2024, we had full availability under the $500.0 million revolving credit facility. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand, expected operating cash flows, and availability under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fulfill our obligations, working capital requirements, and capital expenditures for the next 12 months.

    Net cash provided by operating activities was $299.8 million for the first nine months of 2024, compared with $340.5 million in the same period of 2023. Net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities was $245.0 million, compared with $286.6 million in the same period of 2023. Net cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities was $54.8 million for the first nine months of 2024, compared with $53.9 million in the same period of 2023.

    Net cash used in investing activities was $24.0 million and $33.3 million for the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and primarily related to capital expenditures.

    Net cash used in financing activities was $283.6 million for the first nine months of 2024 and included $283.3 million to repurchase the Company's common stock. Net cash used in financing activities in the first nine months of the prior year was $231.6 million and included $197.7 million to repurchase the Company's common stock, net repayments of borrowings under the revolving credit facility totaling $31.5 million, and the effects of the August 2023 amendments to the Company's senior secured credit facility which generated net proceeds of $8.0 million that were offset by related amendment costs.

    For details on the Company’s senior secured credit facility, comprised of a revolving credit facility and term loan B, and unsecured senior notes, see Note 3. Long-Term Debt in Part I, Item 1.

    Recent Accounting Pronouncements

    With respect to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about interest rates risks, there have been no material changes to the information included in our 2023 10-K. Our exposure to interest rate risk is associated with our debt instruments. See Note 3. Long-Term Debt in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for a further description of our debt instruments. A hypothetical 100 basis-point change in interest rates on variable-rate debt would have resulted in an interest expense fluctuation of approximately $5.0 million based on $495.0 million of debt outstanding for any 12-month period. We have not entered into any market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.

    Item 4 — Controls and Procedures

    As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term "disclosure controls and procedures" means controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. "Disclosure controls and procedures" include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

    There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
