COMSYS IT PARTNERS, INC. REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

HOUSTON, TX (AUGUST 3, 2006) — COMSYS IT Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ:CITP), a leading provider of information technology staffing and consulting services, today announced results for its second quarter and six months ended July 2, 2006.

Revenue for the second quarter of 2006 was $187.6 million, up 16% from $162.2 million for the second quarter of 2005 and above the Company’s guidance range of $181 million to $185 million for the quarter, which included acquired revenue. Revenue in the second quarter of 2006, excluding revenue acquired in the fourth quarter of 2005 of $5.6 million, was $182.0 million, up 12% over the second quarter of 2005.

Net income in the second quarter was $11.4 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, and included the receipt of a federal income tax refund and the associated interest of $6.4 million, or $0.34 per diluted share. Excluding the tax refund and related interest income, net income for the quarter was $5.0 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, also above management’s guidance range for net income of $3.6 million to $4.4 million, or $0.19 to $0.23 per diluted share. This compared with net income of $0.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share for the second quarter last year, which included $1.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, of merger-related restructuring charges and registration statement fees and expenses. Excluding the merger-related charges, net income for the second quarter of 2005 was $2.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share.

“Our second quarter results were strong as our revenue increased 5% sequentially over the first quarter of 2006 and most of our markets continued to benefit from improving demand for our services,” said Larry L. Enterline, Chief Executive Officer. “Our sales and recruiting productivity initiatives are going well, and we were particularly pleased with the rate of new starts during the second quarter. This success enabled us to increase our average billable consultant headcount by 4% during the quarter and enter the third quarter at levels higher than where we expected to be earlier in the year. If our third quarter stays true to normal seasonal patterns, we believe we are now positioned well for a good second half.

“We announced last Thursday that our shareholders had elected Bob Fotsch and Courtney McCarthy to our Board,” Enterline continued. “The Board has appointed Bob Fotsch to fill the existing vacancy on our Audit Committee and, as a result, I am happy to report that we have returned to compliance with NASDAQ’s Marketplace Rules.”

“We were pleased with the financial results in the second quarter,” said Joseph C. Tusa, Jr., Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We started the second quarter with approximately 5,000 billable consultants on assignment and completed the second quarter at approximately 5,200 billable consultants. Billable hours and bill rates also continued to improve during the second quarter of 2006 and gross margins were strong at 24.5%, up from 23.6% in the first quarter this year and 23.1% in the second quarter last year. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues declined to 18.3% from 19.2% in the first quarter, with a reduction in severance costs offset by increased compensation expense related to stock-based compensation

and accruals for incentive plans. We continue to move forward with programs to enhance our operational effectiveness and reduce costs, and we expect modest reductions in SG&A expense levels and as a percentage of revenue in the third and fourth quarters of 2006.”

Tusa continued, “We are focusing on strengthening our billing and collection processes and were able to reduce our days-sales-outstanding from 48 to 45 days during the quarter. Total debt increased from $142.3 million on January 1, 2006, to $148.1 million at the end of the first quarter due to seasonal cash flow patterns, but decreased to $136.0 million by the end of the second quarter. Cash flow from operations, which includes the above mentioned income tax refund, was used to pay down our senior credit facility, resulting in a $12.1 million reduction in debt during the second quarter of 2006. We expect further reductions during the second half of 2006. In addition, we generated adjusted EBITDA of $12.5 million, or 6.7% of revenue in the second quarter of 2006. Our stated goal has been to achieve EBITDA margins of 7%-8%, and we are pleased with our stronger financial and operating metrics, which enabled us to make progress toward achieving our EBITDA goal.”

Selected operating data and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP results for the second quarter and six months of 2006 are included in a section before the financial tables.

Third Quarter 2006 Financial Guidance
For the third quarter of 2006, the Company expects to report revenue in a range of $185 million to $190 million on one less billing day compared with the second quarter. Additionally, the Company expects to report net income in the range of $5.1 million to $5.8 million, or approximately $0.26 to $0.30 per diluted share. These estimated net income amounts are based on an effective tax rate of 7%.

based on currently known market conditions and other factors relating to the Company’s operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond its control, including:

•		the Company’s success in attracting, training, retaining and motivating billable consultants and key officers and employees;
•		the Company’s ability to shift a larger percentage of its business mix into IT solutions and project management and, if successful, its ability to manage those types of business profitably;
•		changes in levels of unemployment and other economic conditions in the United States, or in particular regions or industries;
•		weakness or reductions in corporate information technology spending levels;
•		the Company’s ability to maintain existing client relationships and attract new clients in the context of changing economic or competitive conditions;
•		the impact of competitive pressures on our ability to maintain or improve our operating margins, including any change in the demand for the Company’s services;
•		the entry of new competitors into the U.S. staffing services market due to the limited barriers to entry or the expansion of existing competitors in that market;
•		increases in employment-related costs such as healthcare and unemployment taxes;
•		the possibility of the Company’s incurring liability for the activities of its billable consultants or for events impacting its billable consultants on clients’ premises;
•		the risk in an uncertain economic environment of increased incidences of employment disputes, employment litigation and workers’ compensation claims;
•		integration and restructuring associated with the COMSYS and Venturi merger or other business activities and the challenges of achieving anticipated synergies;
•		the risk that further cost cutting or restructuring activities undertaken by the Company could cause an adverse impact on certain of the Company’s operations;
•		economic declines that affect the Company’s business, including its profitability, liquidity or ability to comply with its loan covenants;
•		adverse changes in credit and capital markets conditions that may affect the Company’s ability to obtain financing or refinancing on favorable terms;
•		adverse changes to management’s periodic estimates of future cash flows that may affect the Company’s assessment of its ability to fully recover its goodwill;
•		whether governments will amend existing regulations or impose additional regulations or licensing requirements in such a manner as to increase the Company’s costs of doing business; and
•		other matters discussed in this press release and the Company’s most recent definitive proxy statement, Forms 10-K, 10-K/A, 10-Q and 8-K, as well as matters discussed in the Company’s future SEC filings.
