Management Commentary
"ASGN achieved another year of record revenue performance in 2022,” said ASGN Chief Executive Officer Ted Hanson. “Fourth quarter revenues of $1.2 billion surpassed our expectations for the quarter, improving 9.2 percent as compared to the prior-year period. This strong performance resulted in record revenues of $4.6 billion for the full year, up 14.3 percent as compared to 2021. Adjusted EBITDA of $559.4 million was up 15.8 percent year-over-year.”
Mr. Hanson continued, “It is clear that ASGN’s business has hit a positive inflection point. With consulting business representing 49 percent of total revenues in fourth quarter, we are quickly approaching 50 percent of our total revenues derived from high-end, higher-margin consulting work. Continuing to move up the pyramid to provide leading IT services and solutions to the commercial and government end markets remains our focus as we begin 2023. We are projecting another year of solid growth and are on track to achieve our three-year financial targets.”

Consolidated revenues for the fourth quarter of 2022 were up 9.2 percent year-over-year. Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2022 included approximately $47.3 million from businesses acquired in the past twelve months. Excluding the contribution from acquisitions, and on a Same Billable Days basis, revenue growth was 6.4 percent year-over-year. Revenues for the quarter were above the high end of the guidance estimates with both segments contributing to the over performance and included $7.7 million in license revenues on a federal contract that were not included in those estimates.
Revenues from the Commercial Segment (74.1 percent of total revenues) were up 7.8 percent year-over-year. Assignment revenues totaled $588.1 million (69.0 percent of the segment's revenues), flat year-over-year on a Same Billable Day basis. Consulting services revenues were $264.1 million (31.0 percent of the segment's revenues), up 37.8 percent year-over-year. Excluding the contribution from GlideFast of $23.2 million, consulting services revenues increased 25.7 percent.
Revenues from the Commercial Segment's IT services and solutions division accounted for 84.9 percent of the segment's revenues, up 10.8 percent over the fourth quarter of 2021 driven by double-digit growth in consulting services and contributions from acquisitions. Revenues from the segment's creative digital marketing and permanent placement divisions accounted for 15.1 percent of the segment's revenues and were down 6.4 percent year-over-year.
Revenues from the Federal Government Segment (25.9 percent of revenues) were up 13.3 percent year-over-year. Excluding the contribution from Iron Vine of $24.1 million, revenues increased 4.1 percent.
Gross margin for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 29.6 percent, down 20 basis points year-over-year from the fourth quarter of 2021. The slight compression mainly related to business mix, which included a slightly higher mix of federal revenues that carries a lower gross margin than commercial revenues and an expected decline in the mix of permanent placement revenues, which declined 90 basis points as a percent of total revenues year-over-year.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $229.9 million (20.0 percent of revenues), compared with $202.4 million (19.2 percent of revenues) in the fourth quarter of 2021. This increase in expense was commensurate with the growth in the business and also reflected investments in headcount and technology to support future growth. SG&A expenses also included approximately $1.5 million in acquisition, integration and strategic planning expenses, which were not included in the Company's previously announced guidance estimates.
Income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $55.6 million, compared with $65.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. Income from continuing operations per diluted share was $1.10, compared with $1.24 in the fourth quarter of 2021. Net income was $55.6 million ($1.10 per diluted share), compared with $85.0 million ($1.61 per diluted share) in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was $131.9 million, up 1.2 percent over the fourth quarter of 2021 and within our guidance estimates. The Adjusted EBITDA margin (a non-GAAP measure) for the quarter was 11.5 percent, down year-over-year related to changes in business mix and higher SG&A expenses (referenced above) to support higher future growth in the business.

The financial estimates above are based on an estimate of “Billable Days,” which are Business Days (calendar days for the period less weekends and holidays) adjusted for other factors, such as the day of the week a holiday occurs, additional time taken off around holidays, year-end client furloughs and inclement weather. There are 63 Billable Days in the first quarter of 2023, which is three more days than the fourth quarter of 2022 and the same number of days as the first quarter of 2022. The financial estimates also include estimated revenues of $54.0 million from businesses acquired in 2022 and the effects of the annual reset of payroll taxes that occur at the beginning of the calendar year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Statements in this release and the accompanying financial information include non-GAAP financial measures that are provided as additional information to enhance the overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance and not as an alternative to the consolidated interim financial statements presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Management uses these non-GAAP measures (EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per diluted share, Free Cash Flow, Senior Secured Debt leverage ratio and Revenues on a same Billable Days basis) to evaluate the Company's financial performance. These terms might not be calculated in the same manner as, and thus might not be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The financial information tables that accompany this press release include reconciliations of net income to non-GAAP financial measures.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide a measure of the Company's operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of the Company's core business on an ongoing basis, by removing the effects of non-operating and certain non-cash expenses. These non-operating and non-cash items are specifically identified in the reconciliations of GAAP measures to Non-GAAP measures that accompany this release.
Adjusted Net Income provides a method for assessing the Company's operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of the Company's core business on an ongoing basis by removing the effects of non-operating and certain non-cash expenses, adjusted for some of the cash flows associated with amortization of intangible assets to more fully present the performance of the Company's acquisitions. The calculation of Adjusted Net Income is presented in the reconciliations of GAAP measures to Non-GAAP measures that accompany this release.
Free Cash Flow provides useful information to investors about the amount of cash generated by the business that can be used for strategic opportunities and is computed as presented in the tables that accompany this release.
The Senior Secured Debt leverage ratio is a ratio of the Company's Senior Secured Debt to trailing 12 months Adjusted EBITDA (gives effect to the divestiture of the Oxford business) and provides information about the Company's compliance with loan covenants.
