Risk Factors
HALF ROBERT INTERNATIONAL INC /DE/ Item 1A Risk Factors The Company’s business prospects are subject to various risks and uncertainties that impact its business
The most important of these risks and uncertainties are as follows: Business Highly Dependent Upon the State of the Economy
The demand for the Company’s services, in particular its staffing services, is highly dependent upon the state of the economy and upon the staffing needs of the Company’s clients
Any variation in the economic condition or unemployment levels of the US or of any of the foreign countries in which the Company does business, or in the economic condition of any region of any of the foregoing, or in any specific industry may severely reduce the demand for the Company’s services and thereby significantly decrease the Company’s revenues and profits
Availability of Candidates
The Company’s staffing services business consists of the placement of individuals seeking employment
There can be no assurance that candidates for employment will continue to seek employment through the Company
Candidates generally seek temporary or regular positions through multiple sources, including the Company and its competitors
Any shortage of candidates could materially adversely affect the Company
Highly Competitive Business
The staffing services business is highly competitive and, because it is a service business, the barriers to entry are quite low
There are many competitors, some of which have greater resources than the Company, and new competitors are entering the market all the time
In addition, long-term contracts form a negligible portion of the Company’s revenue
Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to retain clients or market share in the future
Nor can there be any assurance that the Company will, in light of competitive pressures, be able to remain profitable or, if profitable, maintain its current profit margins
The success of the Company’s staffing and Protiviti businesses is highly dependent upon their reputations
Any event that adversely impacts the reputation of either business could materially adversely affect the Company
Potential Liability to Employees and Clients
The Company’s temporary services business entails employing individuals on a temporary basis and placing such individuals in clients’ workplaces
The Company’s ability to control the workplace environment is limited
As the employer of record of its temporary employees, the Company incurs a risk of liability to its temporary employees for various workplace events, including claims of physical injury, discrimination or harassment
While such claims have not historically had a material adverse effect upon the Company, there can be no assurance that such claims in the future will not result in adverse publicity or have a material adverse effect upon the Company
The Company also incurs a risk of liability to its clients resulting from allegations of errors, omissions or theft by its temporary employees
The Company maintains insurance with respect to many of such claims
While such claims have not historically had a material adverse effect upon the Company, there can be no assurance that the Company will continue to be able to obtain insurance at a cost that does not have a material adverse effect upon the Company or that such claims (whether by reason of the Company not having insurance or by reason of such claims being outside the scope of the Company’s insurance) will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company
The Company is engaged in the services business
As such, its success or failure is highly dependent upon the performance of its management personnel and employees, rather than upon technology or upon tangible assets (of which the Company has few)
Government Regulation
The Company’s business is subject to regulation or licensing in many states and in certain foreign countries
While the Company has had no material difficulty complying with regulations in the past, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to obtain all necessary licenses or 5 ______________________________________________________________________ approvals or that the cost of compliance will not prove to be material
Any inability of the Company to comply with government regulation or licensing requirements could materially adversely affect the Company
Government Regulation of the Workplace
The Company’s temporary services business entails employing individuals on a temporary basis and placing such individuals in clients’ workplaces
Increased government regulation of the workplace or of the employer-employee relationship, or judicial or administrative proceedings related to such regulation, could materially adversely affect the Company
The operations of both the staffing services business and Protiviti include services related to Sarbanes-Oxley and other regulatory compliance
There can be no assurance that there will be ongoing demand for these services
Reliance on Short-Term Contracts
Because long-term contracts are not a significant part of the Company’s staffing services business, future results cannot be reliably predicted by considering past trends or extrapolating past results
The Company and certain subsidiaries are defendants in several class action lawsuits alleging various wage and hour claims that could cause the Company to incur substantial liabilities
The Company and certain subsidiaries are defendants in several class action lawsuits brought by or on behalf of the Company’s current and former employees alleging violations of federal and state law with respect to certain wage and hour matters
The Company and certain subsidiaries are currently defendants in two class action lawsuits in California and one class action lawsuit in Massachusetts
All three lawsuits allege, among other things, the misclassification of certain employees as exempt employees under federal and state law and other related wage and hour violations and seek an unspecified amount for unpaid overtime compensation, statutory penalties, and other damages, as well as attorneys’ fees
However, these lawsuits may consume substantial amounts of the Company’s financial and managerial resources and might result in adverse publicity, regardless of the ultimate outcome of the lawsuits
In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries may become subject to similar lawsuits in other jurisdictions
An unfavorable outcome with respect to these lawsuits and any future lawsuits could, individually or in the aggregate, cause the Company to incur substantial liabilities that may have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations
Protiviti is a services business, and is dependent upon its ability to attract and retain personnel
While Protiviti has retained its key personnel to date, there can be no assurance that it will continue to be able to do so
Protiviti operates in a highly competitive business
As with the Company’s staffing services business, the barriers to entry are quite low
There are many competitors, some of which have greater resources than Protiviti and many of which have been in operation far longer than Protiviti
In particular, Protiviti faces competition from the “big four” accounting firms, which have been in operation for a considerable period of time and have established reputations and client bases
Because the principal factors upon which competition is based are reputation, technology, tools, project methodologies, price of services and depth of skills of personnel, there can be no assurance that Protiviti will be successful in attracting and retaining clients
Potential Liability
The business of Protiviti consists of providing internal audit and business and technology risk consulting services
Liability could be incurred or litigation could be instituted against the Company or Protiviti for claims related to these activities or to prior transactions or activities
There can be no assurance that such liability or litigation will not have a material adverse impact on Protiviti or the Company
