Resources Connection, Inc. Reports Year-End Results

Costa Mesa, Calif., July 12, 2006 -- Resources Connection, Inc. (NASDAQ: RECN), an international professional services firm that provides, through its operating subsidiary, Resources Global Professionals, experienced accounting and finance, risk management and internal audit, information management, human capital, supply chain management and legal professionals to clients on a project basis, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended May 31, 2006.

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 improved 10.6% to $165.9 million from $150.0 million for the same quarter in fiscal 2005. Net income for the quarter ended May 31, 2006, was $15.7 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to net income of $15.7 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, in the May 2005 quarter.

For the year ended May 31, 2006, revenue grew 17.9% to $633.8 million compared to $537.6 million for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2005. Net income for fiscal year 2006 was $60.6 million, or $1.17 per diluted share versus $56.1 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, in the prior year period.

"This has been a year of balanced investment along with strong revenue growth even in the face of lower demand for regulatory compliance services," said Donald Murray, Chairman and CEO of Resources Global Professionals. "This year, we opened 13 new offices and the cost of these new offices affects our general and administrative expenses and impacts our profit until those offices achieve breakeven status. As we look forward to fiscal 2007, we are well positioned to use the breadth of our service offerings and the enhanced international reach we have established during this past year to continue providing our clients with superior service that is a better value than traditional professional services firms. We are especially proud of all the people at Resources who deliver for our clients every day."
