Resources Connection Inc. (NASD: RECN), a provider of finance/accounting, legal and IT staffing along with other services, reported revenue fell 3.7 percent year over year to $138.0 million in its fiscal third quarter ended Feb. 23. The Irvine, Calif.-based company provides services through its Resources Global Professionals subsidiary.

Third-quarter U.S. revenue edged up 1.1 percent year over year to $105.9 million. However, international revenue fell 16.8 percent to $32.1 million.

“Our third quarter revenues were negatively impacted due primarily to the wind down of a large mortgage servicing project resulting from our client’s settlement with the U.S. government and a decline in international revenues following the winter holidays,” said Tony Cherbak, president and chief operating officer of RGP.

Third-quarter gross margin narrowed to 37.1 percent from 37.4 percent in the third quarter of 2012.

Resource Connection’s third-quarter net income rose 3.7 percent to $4.5 million from $4.3 million in the year-ago quarter.
