PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS Robert Half International Inc. is the world's largest specialized provider of temporary and permanent personnel in the fields of accounting and finance. Its divisions include ACCOUNTEMPS-Registered Trademark- and ROBERT HALF-Registered Trademark-, providers of temporary and permanent personnel, respectively, in the fields of accounting and finance. The Company, utilizing its experience as a specialized provider of temporary and permanent personnel, has expanded into additional specialty fields. In 1991, the Company formed OFFICETEAM-Registered Trademark- to provide skilled temporary administrative and office personnel. In 1994, the Company established RHI CONSULTING-Registered Trademark- to concentrate on providing temporary and contract information technology professionals in positions ranging from PC support technician to chief information officer. In 1992, the Company acquired THE AFFILIATES-Registered Trademark-, which focuses on placing temporary and regular employees in paralegal, legal administrative and other legal support positions. In 1997, the Company established RHI MANAGEMENT RESOURCES-REGISTERED TRADEMARK- to provide senior level project professionals specializing in the accounting and finance fields. The Company's business was originally founded in 1948. Prior to 1986, the Company was primarily a franchisor of ACCOUNTEMPS and ROBERT HALF offices. Beginning in 1986, the Company and its current management embarked on a strategy of acquiring franchised locations and other local or regional independent providers of specialized temporary service personnel. The Company has acquired all but three of the ACCOUNTEMPS and ROBERT HALF franchises and has also acquired other local or regional providers of specialized temporary service personnel. Since 1986, the Company has significantly expanded operations at many of the acquired locations and has opened many new locations. The Company believes that direct ownership of offices allows it to better monitor and protect the image of its tradenames, promotes a more consistent and higher level of quality and service throughout its network of offices and improves profitability by centralizing many of its administrative functions. The Company currently has more than 230 offices in 39 states and six foreign countries and placed approximately 180,000 employees on temporary assignment with clients in 1998. ACCOUNTEMPS The ACCOUNTEMPS temporary services division offers customers a reliable and economical means of dealing with uneven or peak work loads for accounting, tax and finance personnel caused by such predictable events as vacations, taking inventories, tax work, month-end activities and special projects and such unpredictable events as illness and emergencies. Businesses increasingly view the use of temporary employees as a means of controlling personnel costs and converting such costs from fixed to variable. The cost and inconvenience to clients of hiring and firing permanent employees are eliminated by the use of ACCOUNTEMPS temporaries. The temporary workers are employees of ACCOUNTEMPS and are paid by ACCOUNTEMPS only when working on customer assignments. The customer pays a fixed rate only for hours worked. ACCOUNTEMPS clients may fill their permanent employment needs by using an ACCOUNTEMPS employee on a trial basis and, if so desired, "converting" the temporary position to a permanent position. The client typically pays a one-time fee for such conversions. OFFICETEAM The Company's OFFICETEAM division, which commenced operations in 1991, places temporary and permanent office and administrative personnel, ranging from word processors to office managers. OFFICETEAM operates in much the same fashion as the ACCOUNTEMPS and ROBERT HALF divisions. ROBERT HALF The Company offers permanent placement services through its office network under the name ROBERT HALF. The Company's ROBERT HALF division specializes in placing accounting, financial, tax and banking 1

personnel. Fees for successful permanent placements are paid only by the employer and are generally a percentage of the new employee's annual compensation. No fee for permanent placement services is charged to employment candidates. RHI CONSULTING The Company's RHI CONSULTING division, which commenced operations in 1994, specializes in providing information technology contract consultants and placing regular employees in areas ranging from multiple platform systems integration to end-user support, including specialists in programming, networking, systems integration, database design and help desk support. THE AFFILIATES In 1992, the Company acquired THE AFFILIATES, a small operation involving only a limited number of offices, which places temporary and permanent employees in paralegal, legal administrative and legal secretarial positions. The legal profession's requirements (the need for confidentiality, accuracy and reliability, a strong drive toward cost-effectiveness, and frequent peak workload periods) are similar to the demands of the clients of the ACCOUNTEMPS division. RHI MANAGEMENT RESOURCES The Company's RHI MANAGEMENT RESOURCES division, which commenced operations in 1997, specializes in providing senior level project professionals in the accounting and finance fields, including chief financial officers, controllers, and senior financial analysts, for such tasks as financial systems conversions, expansion into new markets, business process reengineering and post-merger financial consolidation. MARKETING AND RECRUITING The Company markets its services to clients as well as employment candidates. Local marketing and recruiting are generally conducted by each office or related group of offices. Advertising directed to clients and employment candidates consists primarily of yellow pages advertisements, classified advertisements, websites, advertising on the internet and radio. Direct marketing through mail and telephone solicitation also constitutes a significant portion of the Company's total advertising. National advertising conducted by the Company consists primarily of print advertisements in national newspapers, magazines and certain trade journals. Joint marketing arrangements have been entered into with Microsoft, Lotus Development Corporation, Corel Corporation (publisher of WordPerfect), Peachtree Software, Inc., Intuit and Computer Associates International, Inc. and typically provide for cooperative advertising, joint mailings and similar promotional activities. The Company also actively seeks endorsements and affiliations with professional organizations in the business management, office administration and professional secretarial fields. The Company also conducts public relations activities designed to enhance public recognition of the Company and its services. Local employees are encouraged to be active in civic organizations and industry trade groups. The Company owns many trademarks, service marks and tradenames, including the ROBERT HALF-Registered Trademark-, ACCOUNTEMPS-Registered Trademark-, OFFICETEAM-Registered Trademark-, THE AFFILIATES-Registered Trademark-, RHI CONSULTING-Registered Trademark- and RHI MANAGEMENT RESOURCES-REGISTERED TRADEMARK- marks, which are registered in the United States and in a number of foreign countries. ORGANIZATION Management of the Company's operations is coordinated from its headquarters in Menlo Park, California. The Company's headquarters provides support and centralized services to its offices in the administrative, marketing, accounting, training and legal areas, particularly as it relates to the standardization of the operating procedures of its offices. The Company has more than 230 offices in 39 states and six foreign countries. Office managers are responsible for most activities of their offices, including sales, local advertising and marketing and recruitment. 2

COMPETITION The Company faces competition in its efforts to attract clients as well as high-quality specialized employment candidates. The temporary and permanent placement businesses are highly competitive, with a number of firms offering services similar to those provided by the Company on a national, regional or local basis. In many areas the local companies are the strongest competitors. The most significant competitive factors in the temporary and permanent placement businesses are price and the reliability of service, both of which are often a function of the availability and quality of personnel. The Company believes it derives a competitive advantage from its long experience with and commitment to the specialized employment market, its national presence, and its various marketing activities. EMPLOYEES The Company has approximately 5,200 full-time staff employees. The Company's offices placed approximately 180,000 employees on temporary assignments with clients during 1998. Temporary employees placed by the Company are the Company's employees for all purposes while they are working on assignments. The Company pays the related costs of employment, such as workers' compensation insurance, state and federal unemployment taxes, social security and certain fringe benefits. The Company provides voluntary health insurance coverage to interested temporary employees. OTHER INFORMATION The Company's current business constitutes two business segments. (See Note M of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for financial information about the Company's segments.) The Company is not dependent upon a single customer or a limited number of customers. The Company's operations are generally more active in the first and fourth quarters of a calendar year. Order backlog is not a material aspect of the Company's business and no material portion of the Company's business is subject to government contracts. Information about foreign operations is contained in Note M of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. The Company does not have export sales. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company's headquarters is located in Menlo Park, California. Placement activities are conducted through more than 230 offices located in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Belgium, France, the Netherlands and Australia. All of the offices are leased. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings other than routine litigation incidental to its business. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matter was submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report. 3

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Certain information contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis and in other parts of this report may be deemed forward-looking statements regarding events and financial trends that may affect the Company's future operating results or financial positions. Such statements may be identified by words such as "estimate", "project", "plan", "intend", "believe", "expect", "anticipate", or variations or negatives thereof or by similar or comparable words or phrases. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: changes in general or local economic conditions or in the economic condition of any industry, the availability of qualified staff employees and temporary candidates, government regulation of the personnel services industry, general regulations relating to employers and employees, liability risks associated with the operation of a personnel services business, competitive conditions in the personnel services industry, and Year 2000 issues. In addition, it should be noted that, because long-term contracts are not a significant portion of the Company's business, future results cannot be reliably predicted by considering past trends or extrapolating past results. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 Temporary services revenues were $1.65 billion, $1.20 billion and $829 million for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, increasing by 38% during 1998 and 45% during 1997. The increase in revenues during these periods reflected in part revenues generated from the Company's OFFICETEAM, RHI CONSULTING, and RHI MANAGEMENT RESOURCES divisions, which were started in 1991, 1994 and 1997, respectively. Permanent placement revenues were $136 million, $100 million and $70 million for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, increasing by 36% during 1998 and 43% during 1997. Overall revenue increases reflect continued improvement in demand for the Company's services, which the Company believes is a result of increased acceptance in the use of professional staffing services. Revenues from companies acquired during 1998, 1997 and 1996 were not material. The Company currently has more than 230 offices in 39 states and six foreign countries. Domestic operations represented 89% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998, and 90% of revenues for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996. Foreign operations represented 11% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 1998 and 10% of revenues for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996. Gross margin dollars from the Company's temporary services represent revenues less direct costs of services, which consist of payroll, payroll taxes and insurance costs for temporary employees. Gross margin dollars from permanent placement services are equal to revenues, as there are no direct costs associated with such revenues. Gross margin dollars for the Company's temporary services were $586 million, $417 million and $283 million for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, increasing by 41% in 1998 and 47% in 1997. Gross margin amounts equaled 35% of revenues for temporary services for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, and 34% for the year ended December 31, 1996, which the Company believes reflects its ability to adjust billing rates and wage rates to underlying market conditions. Gross margin dollars for the Company's permanent placement division were $136 million, $100 million and $70 million for each of the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, increasing by 36% and 43% in 1998 and 1997, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $502 million during 1998, compared to $358 million in 1997 and $246 million in 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues were 28% for both the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 and 27% for the year ended December 31, 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of staff compensation, advertising, and occupancy costs, most of which generally follow changes in revenues. The Company allocates the excess of cost over the fair market value of the net tangible assets first to identifiable intangible assets, if any, and then to goodwill. Although management believes that goodwill has 6
10-K4058th Page of 30TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 8th
an unlimited life, the Company amortizes these costs over 40 years. Management believes that its strategy of making acquisitions of established companies in established markets and maintaining its presence in these markets preserves the goodwill for an indeterminate period. The carrying value of intangible assets is periodically reviewed by the Company and impairments are recognized when the expected future operating cash flows derived from such intangible assets is less than their carrying value. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no material impairment of intangible assets existed at December 31, 1998. Intangible assets represented 25% of total assets and 34% of total stockholders' equity at December 31, 1998. Interest income for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $6,947,000, $5,139,000 and $2,948,000, respectively. Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $1,359,000, $949,000 and $705,000, respectively. These changes primarily reflect an increase in cash and cash equivalents. The provision for income taxes was 41% for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The change in the Company's liquidity during the past three years is the net effect of funds generated by operations and the funds used for the staffing services acquisitions, capital expenditures and principal payments on outstanding notes payable. In October 1997, the Company authorized the repurchase, from time to time, of up to four million shares of the Company's common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, depending on market conditions. During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company repurchased approximately 1,625,000 shares of common stock on the open market for a total cost of $66.3 million. Since 1997, the Company has repurchased approximately 1,725,000 shares on the open market pursuant to this program. For additional information regarding the Company's stock repurchase program, see Note F of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Repurchases of the securities have been funded with cash generated from operations. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company generated $155 million from operations, used $71 million in investing activities and used $49 million in financing activities. The Company's working capital at December 31, 1998, included $166 million in cash and cash equivalents. In addition, at December 31, 1998, the Company had available $73 million of its $80 million bank revolving line of credit. The Company's working capital requirements consist primarily of the financing of accounts receivable. While there can be no assurances in this regard, the Company expects that internally generated cash plus the bank revolving line of credit will be sufficient to support the working capital needs of the Company, the Company's fixed payments, and other obligations on both a short and long-term basis. As of December 31, 1998, the Company had no material capital commitments. The Company's primary exposures related to the Year 2000 are in its key internal information systems. The Company is addressing the Year 2000 exposures as part of its strategic plan for upgrading core systems. In 1997, the Company initiated a number of major system projects to replace core computer hardware, networking, and software systems in the U.S. with new technology. The Company has purchased software from outside vendors and is working with outside consultants to install the software and train employees. The Company's key vendors supplying this technology have asserted that these hardware, networking, and software systems are Year 2000 compliant. The Company does not plan to test these systems for Year 2000 compliance given the contractual representations made by its key vendors. The Company is currently rolling out these new systems throughout the organization in phases, by location. The first phase has been completed on schedule and the remaining are scheduled to be complete before the Year 2000. The Company is also in the process of upgrading all desktop computers to a model that is Year 2000 compliant and expects to complete this upgrade in 1999. The Company expects to spend 7
10-K4059th Page of 30TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
in excess of $44 million on these systems and desktop upgrade projects of which approximately $37 million has been incurred to date. The Company is undertaking steps to assess the effect of the Year 2000 issue with respect to its foreign operating units and suppliers and at this time, cannot determine the impact it will have. Contingency plans will be developed if it appears the Company or its key suppliers will not be Year 2000 compliant as noncompliance would have a material adverse impact on the Company's operations. The Company will adopt SOP 98-1, ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE DEVELOPED FOR INTERNAL USE, which requires the capitalization of certain costs related to the development of software for internal use in fiscal year 1999. The Company believes that the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on its financial results. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company's market risk sensitive instruments do not subject the Company to material market risk exposures. 8

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF OPERATIONS. Robert Half International Inc. (the "Company") provides specialized staffing services through such divisions as ACCOUNTEMPS, ROBERT HALF, OFFICETEAM, RHI CONSULTING, RHI MANAGEMENT RESOURCES, and THE AFFILIATES. The Company, through its ACCOUNTEMPS, ROBERT HALF, and RHI MANAGEMENT RESOURCES divisions, is the world's largest specialized provider of temporary, full-time, and project professionals in the fields of accounting and finance. OFFICETEAM specializes in highly skilled temporary administrative support personnel. RHI CONSULTING provides contract information technology professionals. THE AFFILIATES provides temporary, project, and full-time staffing of attorneys and specialized support personnel within law firms and corporate legal departments. Revenues are predominantly from temporary services. The Company operates in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. The Company is a Delaware corporation. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 and 1996 financial statements to conform to the 1998 presentation. REVENUE RECOGNITION. Temporary services revenues are recognized when the services are rendered by the Company's temporary employees. Permanent placement revenues are recognized when employment candidates accept offers of permanent employment. Allowances are established to estimate losses due to placed candidates not remaining employed for the Company's guarantee period, typically 90 days. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Intangible assets primarily consist of the cost of acquired companies in excess of the fair market value of their net tangible assets at acquisition date, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 40 years. The carrying value of intangible assets is periodically reviewed by the Company and impairments are recognized when the expected future operating cash flows derived from such intangible assets are less than their carrying value. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no material impairment of intangible assets existed at December 31, 1998. INCOME TAXES. Deferred taxes are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rates. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The results of operations of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated at the monthly average exchange rates prevailing during the period. The financial position of the Company's foreign subsidiaries is translated at the current exchange rates at the end of the period, and the related translation adjustments are recorded as part of Stockholders' Equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income. USE OF ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT. Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the related asset or the life of the lease. 13

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE B--ACQUISITIONS In July 1986, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Robert Half Incorporated, the franchisor of the ACCOUNTEMPS and ROBERT HALF operations. Subsequently, in 66 separate transactions the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of certain corporations operating ACCOUNTEMPS and ROBERT HALF franchised offices in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada as well as other staffing services businesses. The Company has paid approximately $215 million in cash, stock, notes and other indebtedness in these acquisitions, excluding transaction costs and cash acquired. These acquisitions were primarily accounted for as purchases, and the excess of cost of the acquired companies in excess of the fair market value of the net tangible assets acquired is being amortized over 40 years using the straight-line method. Results of operations of the acquired companies are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income from the dates of acquisition. The acquisitions made during 1998, 1997 and 1996 had no material pro forma impact on the results of operations. NOTE C--NOTES PAYABLE AND OTHER INDEBTEDNESS The Company issued promissory notes as well as other forms of indebtedness in connection with certain acquisitions and other payment obligations. These are due in varying installments, carry varying interest rates and, in aggregate, amounted to $4,712,000 at December 31, 1998 and $8,157,000 at December 31, 1997. At December 31, 1998, $2,441,000 of the notes were secured by a standby letter of credit (see Note D). The following table shows the schedule of maturities for notes payable and other indebtedness at December 31, 1998 (in thousands): [Download Table] 1999................................................................ $ 1,308 2000................................................................ 807 2001................................................................ 57 2002................................................................ 61 2003................................................................ 66 Thereafter.......................................................... 2,413 --------- $ 4,712 --------- --------- At December 31, 1998, the notes carried fixed rates and the weighted average interest rate for the above was approximately 8.2%, 7.0% and 6.9% for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. NOTE D--BANK LOAN (REVOLVING CREDIT) The Company has an unsecured credit facility which provides a line of credit of up to $80,000,000, which is available to fund the Company's general business and working capital needs, including acquisitions and the purchase of the Company's common stock, and to cover the issuance of debt support standby letters of credit up to $15,000,000. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company had no borrowings on the line of credit outstanding and had used $6,799,000 and $8,583,000 in debt support standby letters of credit, respectively. There is a commitment fee on the unused portion of the entire credit facility of .09%. The loan is subject to certain financial covenants which also affect the interest rates charged. The final maturity date for the credit facility is August 31, 2002. 14

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE I--STOCK PLANS Under various stock plans, officers, employees and outside directors may receive grants of restricted stock or options to purchase common stock. Grants are made at the discretion of the Stock Plan Committee of the Board of Directors. Grants generally vest between four and seven years. Options granted under the plans have exercise prices ranging from 85% to 100% of the fair market value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant, consist of both incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options under the Internal Revenue Code, and generally have a term of ten years. Recipients of restricted stock do not pay any cash consideration to the Company for the shares, have the right to vote all shares subject to such grant, and receive all dividends with respect to such shares, whether or not the shares have vested. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Vesting is accelerated upon the death or disability of the recipients. The Company accounts for these plans under APB Opinion 25. Therefore, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock option plans. Had compensation cost for the stock options granted subsequent to January 1, 1995, been based on the estimated fair value at the award dates, as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, the Company's pro forma net income and net income per share would have been as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts): [Enlarge/Download Table] YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, ---------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 -------------- ------------- ------------- Net Income As Reported................................................ $ 131,580 $ 93,697 $ 61,102 Pro forma.................................................. $ 124,622 $ 90,212 $ 59,666 Net Income Per Share Basic As Reported.............................................. $ 1.44 $ 1.03 $ .69 Pro forma................................................ $ 1.36 $ .99 $ .68 Diluted As Reported.............................................. $ 1.39 $ 1.00 $ .67 Pro forma................................................ $ 1.33 $ .97 $ .66 The pro forma amounts do not include amounts for stock options granted before January 1, 1995. Therefore, the pro forma amounts may not be representative of the disclosed effects on pro forma net income and net income per share for future years. The fair value of each option is estimated, as of the grant date, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for grants in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively: no dividend yield for any year; expected volatility of 33% to 36%; risk-free interest rates of 4.6% to 5.7%, 5.7% to 6.9% and 5.3% to 6.7%; and expected lives of 4.5 to 7.3 years for all three years. 17

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE M--BUSINESS SEGMENTS In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 131 (SFAS No. 131), DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION. The Company has defined its business segments based on the nature of services for the purposes of reporting under SFAS No. 131. The Company is managed in a matrix form of organization with certain managers responsible for service lines while other managers are responsible for geographic territories. As such, both service line and geographic information is used in allocating resources and measuring performance. The Company has two reportable segments: temporary and consultant staffing; and permanent placement staffing. The temporary and consultant staffing segment provides specialized personnel in the accounting and finance, administrative and office, information technology, and legal fields. The permanent placement staffing segment provides full-time personnel in the accounting, finance, and legal fields. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note A: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before interest expense, intangible amortization expense, and income taxes. The following table provides a reconciliation of revenue and operating profit by reportable segment to consolidated results (in thousands): [Enlarge/Download Table] YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, -------------------------------------- 1998 1997 1996 ------------ ------------ ---------- Net service revenues Temporary and consultant staffing................... $ 1,652,678 $ 1,199,190 $ 826,283 Permanent placement staffing........................ 140,363 103,686 72,352 ------------ ------------ ---------- $ 1,793,041 $ 1,302,876 $ 898,635 ------------ ------------ ---------- ------------ ------------ ---------- Operating income Temporary and consultant staffing................... $ 185,007 $ 132,416 $ 89,756 Permanent placement staffing........................ 35,574 27,148 17,051 ------------ ------------ ---------- 220,581 159,564 106,807 Amortization of intangible assets..................... 4,993 4,926 5,405 Interest income, net..................................

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Robert Half International Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Robert Half International Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries, as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Robert Half International Inc. and subsidiaries, as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
