  • Second Quarter 2023 Revenues of $864.6 Million, Up 14.5% Compared to $755.0 Million in Prior Year Quarter

  • Second Quarter 2023 EPS of $1.75, Up 22.4% Compared to $1.43 in Prior Year Quarter

  • Company Lowers Upper End of 2023 Revenue Guidance Range and Lowers 2023 EPS Guidance Range

WASHINGTON, July 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN) today released financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

Second quarter 2023 revenues of $864.6 million increased $109.6 million, or 14.5%, compared to revenues of $755.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was due to higher demand across all business segments. Net income of $62.4 million compared to $51.4 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher revenues, which was partially offset by an increase in direct compensation, which includes the impact of an 11.3% increase in billable headcount, higher selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, a higher effective tax rate and an unfavorable impact from FX remeasurement losses compared to the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA of $100.2 million, or 11.6% of revenues, compared to $76.2 million, or 10.1% of revenues, in the prior year quarter. Second quarter 2023 earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) of $1.75 compared to $1.43 in the prior year quarter.

Steven H. Gunby, President and Chief Executive Officer of FTI Consulting, commented, “This quarter we, once again, achieved double-digit organic revenue growth and continued to attract and develop some of the most talented professionals in the market. Those twin accomplishments, to me, reflect the attractiveness of our firm for outstanding professionals who are driven to partner with our clients as they navigate their most significant opportunities and challenges.”

Cash Position and Capital Allocation

Net cash used in operating activities of $11.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to $35.0 million of net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The year-over-year increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to an increase in salaries, largely related to headcount growth, and higher operating expenses and income tax payments, which was partially offset by an increase in cash collections.

Cash and cash equivalents of $203.5 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $255.7 million at June 30, 2022 and $238.5 million at March 31, 2023. Total debt, net of cash, of $137.2 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $60.5 million at June 30, 2022 and $122.7 million at March 31, 2023.

There were no share repurchases during the quarter ended June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, approximately $460.7 million remained available for common stock repurchases under the Company’s stock repurchase program.

Corporate Finance & Restructuring
Revenues in the Corporate Finance & Restructuring segment increased $23.4 million, or 8.4%, to $300.4 million in the quarter compared to $277.1 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was due to higher demand for restructuring and business transformation services, which was partially offset by lower demand for transactions services. Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $50.0 million, or 16.7% of segment revenues, compared to $55.0 million, or 19.8% of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter. The decrease in Adjusted Segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher compensation, which includes the impact of a 15.5% increase in billable headcount, and higher SG&A expenses compared to the prior year quarter.

Forensic and Litigation Consulting
Revenues in the Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment increased $18.0 million, or 10.9%, to $182.2 million in the quarter compared to $164.2 million in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $21.1 million, or 11.6% of segment revenues, compared to $16.7 million, or 10.2% of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter.

Economic Consulting
Revenues in the Economic Consulting segment increased $37.8 million, or 23.0%, to $201.8 million in the quarter compared to $164.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was due to higher realized bill rates, primarily from the recognition of revenues previously deferred and higher demand for non-merger and acquisition ("M&A")-related antitrust, M&A-related antitrust and international arbitration services. Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $35.5 million, or 17.6% of segment revenues, compared to $21.6 million, or 13.2% of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter.

Technology
Revenues in the Technology segment increased $19.7 million, or 25.3%, to $97.4 million in the quarter compared to $77.8 million in the prior year quarter.

Strategic Communications
Revenues in the Strategic Communications segment increased $10.8 million, or 15.0%, to $82.7 million in the quarter compared to $71.9 million in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $12.3 million, or 14.8% of segment revenues, compared to $11.5 million, or 16.0% of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter. The increase in Adjusted Segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher revenues, which was partially offset by an increase in compensation, which includes the impact of a 13.1% increase in billable headcount, and higher SG&A expenses compared to the prior year quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In the accompanying analysis of financial information, we sometimes use information derived from consolidated and segment financial information that may not be presented in our financial statements or prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Certain of these financial measures are considered not in conformity with GAAP ("non-GAAP financial measures") under the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules. Specifically, we have referred to the following non-GAAP financial measures:

  • Total Segment Operating Income

  • Adjusted EBITDA

  • Total Adjusted Segment EBITDA

  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin

  • Adjusted Net Income

  • Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share

  • Free Cash Flow

We have included the definitions of Segment Operating Income and Adjusted Segment EBITDA, which are GAAP financial measures, below in order to more fully define the components of certain non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release. We define Segment Operating Income as a segment’s share of consolidated operating income. We define Total Segment Operating Income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as the total of Segment Operating Income for all segments, which excludes unallocated corporate expenses. We use Segment Operating Income for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Segment EBITDA. We define Adjusted Segment EBITDA as a segment’s share of consolidated operating income before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges and goodwill impairment charges. We use Adjusted Segment EBITDA as a basis to internally evaluate the financial performance of our segments because we believe it reflects current core operating performance and provides an indicator of the segment’s ability to generate cash.

We define Total Adjusted Segment EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as the total of Adjusted Segment EBITDA for all segments, which excludes unallocated corporate expenses. We define Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as consolidated net income before income tax provision, other non-operating income (expense), depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges, goodwill impairment charges, gain or loss on sale of a business and losses on early extinguishment of debt. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial results and GAAP financial measures, provide management and investors with a more complete understanding of our operating results, including underlying trends. In addition, EBITDA is a common alternative measure of operating performance used by many of our competitors. It is used by investors, financial analysts, rating agencies and others to value and compare the financial performance of companies in our industry. Therefore, we also believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, considered along with corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating results with the operating results of other companies. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues.

We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share ("Adjusted EPS"), which are non-GAAP financial measures, as net income and EPS, respectively, excluding the impact of remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges, goodwill impairment charges, losses on early extinguishment of debt, non-cash interest expense on convertible notes and the gain or loss on sale of a business. We use Adjusted Net Income for the purpose of calculating Adjusted EPS. Management uses Adjusted EPS to assess total Company operating performance on a consistent basis. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial results and GAAP financial measures, provide management and investors with an additional understanding of our business operating results, including underlying trends.

We define Free Cash Flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less cash payments for purchases of property and equipment. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure, when considered together with our GAAP financial results, provides management and investors with an additional understanding of the Company’s ability to generate cash for ongoing business operations and other capital deployment.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable with other similarly titled measures of other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, the information contained in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform such statements to actual results or events and do not intend to do so.
