SOURCECORP Provides NASDAQ Listing Update, Finalizes Restatement of Operating Results, Announces 3rd Quarter 2004 Operating Results and Comments on 2005 Guidance

    DALLAS, March 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SOURCECORP, Incorporated
(NASDAQ: SRCPE) (the "Company") today is pleased to announce the completion of
its restatement of certain financial information on an unaudited basis for the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2002, 2003, and the six months ended June 30,
2004 (collectively, the "Restatement Period").  In addition, the Company is
providing a NASDAQ listing exception update, providing a Credit Agreement
update, and reporting for the first time its results for the quarter ended
September 30, 2004.

    NASDAQ Update
    As previously announced, the NASDAQ Listing Qualification Panel previously
granted the Company a listing requirements exception that contemplated among
other things that the Company would file its third quarter 2004 Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q and certain prior period financial information by
March 16, 2005.  The Company requested a further modification to its NASDAQ
exception to contemplate the filing of its third quarter 2004 Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q, and certain unaudited prior period financial information, by
March 23, 2005 (which the Company believes it will have complied with by the
end of today), and the filing of its 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K by
March 31, 2005.  By letter dated March 22, 2005, the NASDAQ Listing
Qualification Panel granted this modified exception with the additional
requirement that the Company by March 31, 2005, provide the Panel with a brief
written summary of the status and focus of the Company's previously disclosed
SEC investigation, which the Company intends to provide.  If the Company is
unable to satisfy all of the requirements of the modified exception, the
Company's Common Stock would be delisted from trading on the NASDAQ Stock
Market unless an additional exception is considered and granted.

    Restatement
    As previously announced, the Company, with the oversight and approval of
the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors, conducted an investigation of
the financial results of one of its operating subsidiaries in the Information
Management and Distribution reportable segment.  The findings of the
investigation concluded that the operating subsidiary had incorrectly
recognized revenue for certain customer arrangements and omitted certain
expenses from its financial results reported to the Company.  Collectively,
the incorrect revenue recognition and expense omission issues resulted in
overpayments and over accruals by the Company to the former owners of the
operating subsidiary of earn-out amounts payable under the earn-out provisions
of the acquisition agreement for the operating subsidiary.  The earn-out
overpayments and over accruals were originally recognized as additional
goodwill of the acquired business by the Company in its financial statements.
    As a result of the restatement, the Company has expensed the earn-out
overpayments during the period of payment.  The following table identifies (1)
the cumulative adjustments for the Restatement Period to be reflected in the
Company's restated financial statements, (2) the percentage of the Company's
previously publicly reported results represented by the restatement
adjustments and (3) the ranges of possible adjustments the Company has
previously disclosed:



                      Cumulative Restatement Adjustments

              For Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003,
                    and the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004

                                (In millions)

     (Amounts are from
     continuing operations)                                 Previously
                                Cumulative                  Disclosed

                                Previously   Amounts       Adjustments
                                 Reported   Previously

    Decrease in revenue           $16.6        1.2%      $12.1      $21.3

    Increase in SG&A               $1.5        0.4%       $1.0       $1.2

    Decrease in income from
     continuing operations

     over payments (1)            $18.1       20.3%      $13.1      $22.5

    Earn-out over payments (2)    $15.8        N/A       $12.8      $18.8

    Decrease in income from
     continuing operations
     before taxes                 $33.9       38.1%      $25.9      $41.3

     (1)  Income from continuing operations before taxes and earn-out
          overpayments is a Non GAAP measure.  Management believes that
          this Non GAAP presentation is meaningful in analyzing the
          restatement impact on previously publicly reported financial
          statements.

     (2)  During the 3rd quarter of 2004, subsequent to the Restatement
          Period, the Company expensed an additional $10.2 million of excess
          earn-out payments related to the restatement adjustments.  The
          January 21, 2005 guidance range included the $10.2 million
          earn-out overpayment an adjustment to be made during the
          Restatement Period.  The above presentation has removed the
          $10.2 million charge from the guidance range.


    Today the Company is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
Form 10-Q/A an amendment of previously issued condensed consolidated financial
statements for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and the three and six
months ended June 30, 2004.  Included in the Form 10-Q/A filing for the first
quarter of 2004 is a detailed description of the issues giving rise to the
restated financial information and a detailed presentation of the financial
statement information affected by the restatement on an unaudited basis.  The
following table provides certain restated financial information for the
Restatement Period:



                          Restated Financial Results

     operations (1)          $(1.44)       $1.44       $1.46          $0.56

     (1)  Pro forma income from continuing operations before tax and pro forma
          diluted earnings per share from continuing operations are calculated
          as GAAP reported amounts plus the effect of earn-out overpayments.
          Management believes that the pro forma presentation is meaningful in
          analyzing year-over-year operating trends.


    Credit Facility Update
    Pursuant to the terms of the Company's 2001 Credit Agreement, Earnings
Before Interest, Depreciation and Amortization is used in calculating certain
leverage and fixed cost coverage ratios.  The Company exceeded the allowable
leverage ratio of 2.5 times for the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and
September 30, 2004 as a result of the earn-out overpayments, previously
discussed.  This has resulted in a default under the 2001 Credit Agreement.
As a result, the Company has classified the debt under such Credit Agreement
as a Current Maturity included in the current liability section of its balance
sheet, until such time as an appropriate amendment is in place.  The Company
is currently working with its lenders to secure such an amendment and it is
anticipated that this amendment will soon become effective.  In any event, as
the maturity date of the debt under the 2001 Credit Agreement is April 1,
2006, unless the maturity date of such debt is subsequently modified, such
debt will be classified as a Current Maturity on and after April 1, 2005.

    Third Quarter 2004 Operating Results
    The Company today reported $97.7 million of revenue for the third quarter
of 2004 compared to $91.7 million for the same quarter of the prior year, an
increase of 6.5%.
    The Company's 2004 revenue increase is largely driven by stronger volumes
in the Information Management and Distribution operating segment, particularly
with clients in the healthcare and financial services vertical markets.
Additionally, the Company experienced higher project revenue from its Legal
offerings, including $2.0 million from the KeyPoint acquisition, which closed
in the second quarter of 2004.
    The Company reported a pre-tax loss from continuing operations of
$2.2 million during the third quarter, which is largely due to the requirement
to expense earn-out payments improperly paid during the quarter to the former
owners of the investigated operating subsidiary.  The amount of such expense
was $10.2 million.  This expense had the effect of reducing our EPS from
continuing operations by $0.38 per share.  As a result, diluted earnings per
share from continuing operations was $(0.02) which included a tax benefit of
$0.06 per share.  On a pro-forma basis, excluding the effect of the
$10.2 million earn-out overpayment, the Company earned pre-tax income from
continuing operations of approximately $8.0 million or diluted earnings per
share from continuing operations of $0.36.  The following table summarizes the
Company's reported earnings for the third quarter of 2003 (restated) and 2004,
respectively:

     (1)  Pro forma income from continuing operations before tax and pro forma
          diluted earnings per share from continuing operations are calculated

          Management believes that the pro forma presentation is meaningful in
          analyzing year-over-year operating trends.


    Third Quarter 2004 Cash Flows
    The Company reported third quarter operating cash flows of $10.6 million.
On a pro-forma basis, the third quarter cash flows would have been
$20.8 million, excluding the effect of expensing the earn-out overpayment of
$10.2 million.  The following table summarizes the Company's operating cash
flows for the first half of 2004 and for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2004:

          operating cash flows plus the effect of earn-out overpayments.
          Management believes that the pro forma presentation is meaningful in
          analyzing year-over-year operating trends.


    New Business Wins
    The Company closed or renewed contracts during the third and fourth
quarters of 2004 anticipated to produce total contract value of approximately
$53 million and $72 million, respectively.  "We are pleased with our continued
progress in sales and the fourth quarter of 2004 represents our fourth
consecutive quarter of new business wins in excess of $50.0 million.  We
believe our strong business wins are a direct result of the actions we have
taken over the last two years in strengthening our national sales presence, an
intense focus on customer satisfaction, and the investments made in our
technology infrastructure and operating platforms," stated Mr. Ed H. Bowman,
Jr., President and CEO.   Total contract value closed during 2004 was a record
$233 million, 94% above 2003's total of approximately $120 million.

     (1)  Includes new business from new customers, new business from
          existing customers and renewal of existing customer contracts.


    2005 Financial Guidance
    The Company previously provided 2005 financial guidance for revenue of
approximately $400 to $425 million and earnings per share from continuing
operations in the range of $1.35 to $1.55 per share.  The earnings per share
guidance included legal and investigation costs (approximately $0.09) that are
expected to principally occur during the first quarter of 2005.  In addition,
based on current trends evidenced during early 2005, in order to meet or
exceed the low end of the previously provided guidance, the Company must
experience stronger revenue volumes and profitability within its Legal and
HealthSERVE service offerings.  Other factors that may cause actual results to
deviate from previously provided revenue and per share guidance include, but
are not limited to, variance from expected implementation costs associated
with new contracts, variance from expected revenues or costs associated with
existing contracts, the timing of commencement of new projects and sales
results.
    The guidance provided above specifically excludes any direct or indirect
effects or impact on the Company's financial results from the Company's
internal investigation, including, but not limited to, any associated
penalties or potential customer remediation action and positive effects, if
any, prior period restatements adjustments may have on 2005 financial results.
    In addition, the Company completed the planned divestiture of a small
operating subsidiary that provides application solutions to state and local
governments during the first quarter of 2005.  Preliminarily, the Company
expects that the sale will result in approximately a $0.01 loss per share from
discontinued operations.
