Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The filing reports a material change in the company's asset base and operational scope due to the divestiture of its Federal Government Solutions Business. This business provided staffing services to the Federal Government as a prime and subcontractor in information technology and finance/accounting fields. Unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared to reflect the company's financial position as if the transaction had occurred on December 31, 2018, and for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not provide specific forward-looking guidance or updated financial outlooks for the remaining business segments. Management notes that the pro forma financial statements are for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. The filing states that actual amounts could differ from the pro forma adjustments based on available information and assumptions. No material relationships exist between Kforce and the purchaser other than the transaction agreement.
Important Facts for Investor Verification

- Review the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements (Exhibit 99.2) to understand the impact of the divestiture on historical results.
