Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Kforce Inc. reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $357.8 million, up 7.5% from $332.6 million a year earlier, and net income of $15.4 million versus $11.1 million. Diluted earnings per share were $0.90, compared with $0.63. For the first nine months, revenue was $1.04 billion, up 4.1%, while net income rose 20.3% to $35.7 million and diluted earnings per share were $2.08 versus $1.66.
Gross profit margin for the first nine months increased 80 basis points to 28.0% from 27.2%, primarily driven by higher Technology Flex gross profit margins and a greater percentage of Direct Hire revenue. Cash provided by operating activities was $2.8 million, compared with $41.9 million, primarily because trade receivables increased with revenue. At September 30, 2026, $107.9 million was outstanding under the credit facility and $91.0 million was available; Kforce reported compliance with all facility covenants.
During the nine months, Kforce returned $34.9 million through $14.7 million in open-market repurchases and $20.2 million in quarterly dividends. For the fourth quarter, Kforce expects Technology Flex revenue to increase in the low single digits sequentially and high single digits year over year; FA Flex revenue is expected to remain flat sequentially and year over year.

How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Free Cash Flow financial
"Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
bill and pay spreads financial
"improved bill and pay spreads"
treasury stock method financial
"using the treasury stock method"
A bookkeeping technique used to estimate how many additional shares would exist if all outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible securities were exercised, assuming the company uses the cash received to buy back shares at the current market price. Investors use it to calculate diluted earnings per share and to gauge potential ownership and profit dilution—like figuring out how a pie would be divided if more people claimed slices and some money was used to buy slices back.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Unless otherwise noted below, there have been no material changes to the accounting policies presented in Note 1 - “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes normally required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025, was derived from our audited Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2025, as presented in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our quarterly operating results are affected by the seasonality of our clients’ businesses and changes in holiday and vacation days taken. In addition, we typically experience higher costs in the first quarter of each fiscal year as a result of certain U.S. state and federal employment tax resets, which adversely affects our gross profit and overall profitability relative to the remainder of the fiscal year. As such, the results of operations for any interim period may be impacted by these factors, among others, and are not necessarily indicative of, nor comparable to, the results of operations for a full year.
Principles of Consolidation
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most critical of these estimates and assumptions include income taxes and the evaluation of goodwill for impairment. Although these and other estimates and assumptions are based on the best available information, actual results could be materially different from these estimates.

Note I - Stock-Based Compensation
On April 22, 2026, Kforce’s shareholders approved the 2026 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2026 Plan”). The 2026 Plan allows for the issuance of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SAR”), stock awards (including restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”)) and other stock-based awards, such as Performance-Based Awards (collectively referred to as “Restricted Stock”). The aggregate number of shares reserved under the 2026 Plan is approximately 2.8 million. Grants of an option or SAR reduce the reserve by one share, while a Restricted Stock award reduces the reserve by 2.72 shares. The 2026 Plan terminates on April 22, 2036.
The following table presents the Restricted Stock activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2026:

At September 30, 2026, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock was $31.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 3.8 years.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, stock-based compensation expense was $3.8 million and $11.1 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, stock-based compensation expense was $3.0 million and $10.3 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Employment Agreements
Kforce has employment agreements with certain executives that provide for certain post-employment benefits under certain circumstances. At September 30, 2026, our liability would be approximately $30.9 million if, following a change in control, all of the executives under contract were terminated without cause by Kforce or if the executives resigned for good reason, and $11.7 million if, in the absence of a change in control, all of the executives under contract were terminated by Kforce without cause or if the executives resigned for good reason.
Litigation
We are involved in legal proceedings, claims and administrative matters that arise in the ordinary course of business, and we have made accruals with respect to certain of these matters, where appropriate, that are reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements but are not, individually or in the aggregate, considered material. For other matters for which an accrual has not been made, we have not yet determined that a loss is probable, or the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated. The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain, but we do not expect that these proceedings and claims, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements; however, if decided adversely to us, or if we determine that settlement of particular litigation is appropriate, we may be subject to additional liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Kforce maintains liability insurance that insures us against workers’ compensation, personal and bodily injury, property damage, directors’ and officers’ liability, errors and omissions, cyber liability, employment practices liability and fidelity losses. There can be no assurance that Kforce’s liability insurance will cover all events or that the limits of coverage will be sufficient to fully cover all liabilities.

•Gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased 80 basis points to 28.0% from 27.2% in the comparable period in 2025 primarily driven by an increase in Flex gross profit margins and a greater percentage of Direct Hire revenue.
•Flex gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased 80 basis points to 26.5% from 25.7% in the comparable period in 2025 primarily driven by improved bill and pay spreads.
•SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 decreased slightly to 22.5% from 22.6% in the comparable period in 2025.
•Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 increased 20.3% to $35.7 million, or $2.08 diluted earnings per share, from $29.7 million, or $1.66 diluted earnings per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
•The Firm returned $34.9 million of capital to our shareholders in the form of open market repurchases totaling $14.7 million and quarterly dividends totaling $20.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
•Cash provided by operating activities was $2.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $41.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Business Overview
Kforce is a leading domestic provider of technology and finance and accounting talent solutions to innovative and industry-leading companies. At September 30, 2026, Kforce employed over 1,600 associates and had approximately 8,300 consultants on assignment. Kforce serves clients across a diverse set of industries and organizations of all sizes, but we place a particular focus on serving Fortune 500 and other leading companies.
We were pleased to have delivered another quarter of accelerating revenue and earnings growth in the third quarter of 2026. We believe our performance reflects the continuing build of momentum that began in the second half of 2025, as evidenced by another quarter of sequential growth, and is further accentuated by delivering a year-over-year growth rate in our Technology business of nearly 8% that is roughly equivalent to our pre-pandemic compound annual growth rate. There has been considerable debate about whether AI tools and technologies will constrain demand across our sector. Across Kforce’s 64-year history, we have navigated—and helped our clients navigate—several defining periods of technological change, from mainframe and personal computing and the internet to mobile technology and cloud computing. We witnessed that each transition reshaped the labor market, yet it also created new opportunities as workers, particularly technology professionals, developed new skills and adapted to evolving demands. Over time, these cycles ultimately expanded the number and breadth of technology-related roles.
We are operating in an environment where many companies remain hesitant to add full-time staff. Broader uncertainty, including geopolitical tensions, rising interest rates and related volatility in global energy markets, has further reinforced the need for agility. We believe these dynamics highlight the value of flexible workforce solutions as clients adapt to near-term uncertainty while assessing the longer-term implications of emerging technologies on their businesses and talent strategies. With our flexible technology talent solutions and consulting capabilities, we believe Kforce is well positioned to help clients modernize their operations, translate technology investments into business value, and build competitive advantage.
Based on data published by Staffing Industry Analysts (“SIA”), temporary employment figures and trends are important indicators of staffing demand from an economic standpoint. The national U.S. unemployment rate declined to 4.2% in September 2026 as compared to 4.4% in December 2025. In the latest U.S. staffing industry forecast published by SIA in September 2026, the technology temporary staffing industry is estimated to grow 2% in 2026 and 2% in 2027.

Flex Revenue. The key drivers of Flex revenue are the number of consultants on assignment, billable hours, the bill rate per hour and, to a limited extent, the amount of billable expenses incurred by Kforce.
Flex revenue for our Technology business increased 7.8% and 4.0% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily driven by an increase in consultants on assignment. Our average Technology bill rate was approximately $91 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, which increased 1% as compared to the same periods in 2025. In the fourth quarter, we expect Technology Flex revenue to increase in the low single digits sequentially and high single digits year over year.
Our FA business experienced an increase in Flex revenue of 4.6% and 5.4% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily driven by an increase in consultants on assignment and bill rates. In the fourth quarter, we expect FA Flex revenue to remain flat sequentially and year over year.

Direct Hire Revenue. The key drivers of Direct Hire revenue are the number of placements and the associated placement fee. Direct Hire revenue also includes conversion revenue, which may occur when a consultant initially assigned to a client on a temporary basis is later converted to a permanent placement for a fee.
Direct Hire revenue increased 5.0% and 3.0% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2025, which was primarily driven by an increase in placements.

Gross Profit. Gross profit is determined by deducting direct costs (primarily consultant compensation, payroll taxes and certain fringe benefits, as well as independent contractor costs) from total revenue. In addition, there are no consultant payroll costs associated with Direct Hire placements; thus, all Direct Hire revenue increases gross profit by the full amount of the placement fee.

Total gross profit percentage increased 50 and 80 basis points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily driven by an increase in Technology Flex gross profit margins and a greater percentage of Direct Hire revenue.
Flex gross profit percentage (Flex gross profit as a percentage of Flex revenue) provides management with helpful insights into the other drivers of total gross profit percentage driven by our Flex business, such as changes in the spread between the consultants’ bill rate and pay rate, changes in payroll tax rates or benefits costs, as well as the impact of billable expenses, which provide no profit margin.
The following table presents the Flex gross profit percentage by segment and percentage change over the prior period:

Our Flex gross profit percentage increased 50 and 80 basis points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2025.
•Technology Flex gross profit margins increased 60 and 80 basis points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2025, which was primarily driven by improved bill and pay spreads. In the fourth quarter, we expect Technology Flex gross profit margins to decline sequentially due to the typical seasonal impact of paid time off taken by our consultants, although the underlying bill and pay spreads are expected to be stable.
•FA Flex gross profit margins decreased 20 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, which was primarily driven by higher healthcare costs, partially offset by improved bill and pay spreads. FA Flex gross profit margins increased 30 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by improved bill and pay spreads. In the fourth quarter, we expect FA Flex gross profit margins to decline slightly due to seasonality on a sequential basis.

SG&A Expenses.

Commissions and other bonus incentives are variable costs driven primarily by revenue and gross profit levels. Therefore, as those levels change, these expenses would also generally be anticipated to change.

SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased 120 and 10 basis points for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2025.
We have gained leverage from adjustments to headcount levels and refinements in our organizational structure. We also recorded a gain on a company-owned life insurance policy during the three months ended September 30, 2026. The nine months ended September 30, 2026 were impacted by the aforementioned items, but partially offset by an increase in healthcare costs and higher performance-based compensation costs due to improved financial performance.
We continue to prioritize investments in our strategic initiatives, including the implementation of Workday as part of our back-office transformation program, integrated strategy efforts, the evolution of our nearshore and offshore delivery capabilities, and driving our strategy through leverage of AI.

Other Expense, Net. Other expense, net was $0.9 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Other expense, net was $2.5 million and $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Other expense, net primarily includes interest expense related to outstanding borrowings under our credit facility.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense as a percentage of income before income taxes (our “effective tax rate”) was 29.7% and 24.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in our effective tax rate was primarily attributable to higher nondeductible compensation expense under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), the expiration of the Work Opportunity Tax Credits program in 2025, and lower research and development tax credits associated with our strategic priorities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Revenue Growth Rates. “Revenue growth rates,” a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by Kforce as revenue growth after removing the impacts on reported revenues from the changes in the number of billing days. Management believes this data is particularly useful because it aids in evaluating revenue trends over time. The impact of billing days is calculated by dividing each comparative period’s reported revenues by the number of billing days for the respective period to arrive at a per billing day amount for each quarter. Growth rates are then calculated using the per billing day amounts as a percentage change compared to the respective period. Management calculates the number of billing days for each reporting period based on the number of holidays and business days in the quarter.

Free Cash Flow. “Free Cash Flow,” a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by Kforce as net cash provided by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, less capital expenditures. Management believes this provides an additional way of viewing our liquidity that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our cash flows and is useful information to investors as it provides a measure of the amount of cash generated from the business that can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business, repurchasing common stock, paying dividends or making acquisitions. Free Cash Flow has limitations due to the fact that it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Therefore, we believe it is important to view Free Cash Flow as a complement to, but not a replacement of, our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Adjusted EBITDA. “Adjusted EBITDA,” a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined by Kforce as net income before depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense; interest expense, net; and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing our past and future financial performance, and this presentation should not be construed as an inference by us that our future results will be unaffected by those items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure used by management to assess our operations including our ability to generate cash flows and our ability to repay our debt obligations, and management believes it provides a good metric of our core profitability in comparing our performance to our competitors, as well as our performance over different time periods. Consequently, management believes it is useful information to investors. The measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows or other financial statement information presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as indicators of financial performance or liquidity. Also, Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
In addition, although we excluded stock-based compensation expense because it is a non-cash expense, we expect to continue to incur stock-based compensation expense in the future and the associated stock issued may result in an increase in our outstanding shares of stock, which may result in the dilution of our shareholder ownership interest. We suggest that you evaluate these items and the potential risks of excluding such items when analyzing our financial position.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
To meet our capital and liquidity requirements, we primarily rely on our operating cash flows, as well as borrowings under our Credit Facility (as defined below). At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $107.9 million and $66.4 million outstanding under our Credit Facility, respectively, and the borrowing availability was $91.0 million and $132.5 million, respectively, subject to certain covenants. At September 30, 2026, Kforce had $121.6 million in working capital compared to $88.5 million at December 31, 2025.
Cash Flows
Our business has historically generated a significant amount of operating cash flows, which allows us to balance deploying available capital towards: (i) investing in our strategic priorities that we expect will accelerate future revenue growth and profitability levels; (ii) our dividend and share repurchase programs; and (iii) maintaining sufficient liquidity for potential acquisitions or other strategic investments.
Cash provided by operating activities was $2.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $41.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Our largest source of operating cash flows is the collection of trade receivables, and our largest use of operating cash flows is the payment of our associate and consultant compensation. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by higher trade receivables given the significant levels of revenue growth we are delivering.
Cash used in investing activities was $10.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and primarily consisted of cash used for capital expenditures. Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $11.1 million and primarily consisted of cash used for capital expenditures.
Cash provided by financing activities was $6.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to $29.9 million of cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This change was primarily driven by decreases in repurchases of common stock and higher net proceeds on our Credit Facility.
The following table presents the cash flow impact of the common stock repurchase activity:
| Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||
(in thousands) | 2026 | 2025 | ||||||
| Open market repurchases | $ | 14,880 | $ | 41,160 | ||||
| Repurchased shares withheld for tax withholding upon vesting of restricted stock | 258 | 290 | ||||||
| Total cash flow impact from Repurchases of common stock | $ | 15,138 | $ | 41,450 | ||||
| Cash paid in current year for settlement of prior year repurchases | $ | 200 | $ | 260 | ||||
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, Kforce’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared and paid quarterly dividends of $20.2 million ($1.20 per share) and $20.8 million ($1.17 per share), respectively, which represents a 3% increase on a per share basis. While the Board has declared and paid quarterly dividends since the fourth quarter of 2014, and intends to in the foreseeable future, dividends will be subject to determination by our Board each quarter following its review of, among other things, the Firm’s current and expected financial performance as well as the ability to pay dividends under applicable law.
We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, operating cash flows and available borrowings under our Credit Facility will be adequate to meet the capital expenditure and working capital requirements of our operations for at least the next 12 months, and the foreseeable future, which we believe will provide us the flexibility to continue returning significant capital to our shareholders. We believe that we have access to additional funds, if needed, through the capital markets to obtain further financing under the current market conditions. However, a material deterioration in the macroeconomic environment or market conditions, among other things, could adversely affect operating results and liquidity, as well as the ability of our lenders to fund borrowings. Actual results could also differ materially from those indicated as a result of a number of factors, including the use of currently available resources for capital expenditures, investments, additional common stock repurchases or dividends.

Credit Facility
On November 5, 2025, the Firm entered into a senior secured credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative and collateral agent, BofA Securities, Inc. and PNC Capital Markets LLC as joint lead arrangers, BofA Securities, Inc. as bookrunner and the lenders referred to therein (the “Credit Facility”). Under the Credit Facility, the Firm has a maximum borrowing capacity of $200.0 million, which includes a $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby and commercial letters of credit and $10.0 million sublimit for swingline loans, and may, subject to certain conditions and the participation of the lenders, be increased up to an aggregate additional amount of $150.0 million. At September 30, 2026, $107.9 million was outstanding and $91.0 million was available on our Credit Facility, and at December 31, 2025, $66.4 million was outstanding. At September 30, 2026, we are in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the Credit Facility as described in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and we currently expect that we will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants.
Stock Repurchases
In October 2025, the Board approved an increase in our stock repurchase authorization, bringing the total authorization to $100.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, Kforce repurchased approximately 527 thousand shares of common stock on the open market at a total cost of approximately $14.7 million. In addition, $82.5 million remained available for further repurchases under the Board-authorized common stock repurchase program at September 30, 2026.

Based on the Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that the design and operation of our Disclosure Controls were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management has evaluated, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, whether any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on the evaluation we conducted, management has concluded that no such changes have occurred.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
CEO and CFO Certifications
Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 are the Certifications of the CEO and the CFO, respectively. The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This section contains the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
We are involved in legal proceedings, claims and administrative matters that arise in the ordinary course of business, and we have made accruals with respect to certain of these matters, where appropriate, that are reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements but are not, individually or in the aggregate, considered material. For other matters for which an accrual has not been made, we have not yet determined that a loss is probable, or the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated. The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain, but we do not expect that these proceedings and claims, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements; however, if decided adversely to us, or if we determine that settlement of particular litigation is appropriate, we may be subject to additional liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Kforce maintains liability insurance that insures us against workers’ compensation, personal and bodily injury, property damage, directors’ and officers’ liability, errors and omissions, cyber liability, employment practices liability and fidelity losses. There can be no assurance that Kforce’s liability insurance will cover all events or that the limits of coverage will be sufficient to fully cover all liabilities.
