Other Events.

On October 26, 2023, FTI Consulting, Inc. (“FTI Consulting”) announced that it has modified the composition of our reportable segments to reflect changes in how we operate our business. Effective July 1, 2023, FTI Consulting transferred 127 billable professionals in our health solutions practice within our Forensic and Litigation Consulting (“FLC”) segment who focus on business transformation services in the healthcare and life sciences sector to the business transformation & strategy practice within our Corporate Finance & Restructuring (“Corporate Finance”) segment. This change aligns this group of professionals with the broader business transformation capabilities within the Corporate Finance segment. Eighty-three billable professionals who focus on advisory and managed care services within the heath solutions practice remained in the FLC segment. FTI Consulting is issuing this Current Report on Form 8-K in order to provide investors with unaudited segment selected summary financial information and segment selected operating data for the Corporate Finance and FLC segments that reflect the modified composition of our reportable segments described above.

The unaudited segment selected summary financial information and operating data included in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, incorporated herein by reference, provides recast unaudited summary financial information and other select operating data for the Corporate Finance and FLC segments for the previously reported years ended December 31, 2020, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, and the previously reported quarters in each such year and the first and second quarters for the year ending December 31, 2023 to conform to the current period presentation reflected in FTI Consulting’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

The information included in this Form 8-K does not amend or restate FTI Consulting’s previously reported consolidated financial statements for any period and is presented for information purposes only. It does not change FTI Consulting’s previously reported historical financial information other than as required to reflect the modified composition of the Corporate Finance and FLC reporting segments as described above. This information should be read in conjunction with FTI Consulting’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 26, 2023.

(1)  For engagements where revenues are based on number of hours worked by our billable professionals and fixed-fee arrangements, average billable rate per hour is calculated by dividing revenues (excluding revenues from success fees, pass-through revenues and outside consultants) for a period by the number of hours worked on client assignments during the same period.

(2)  We calculate the utilization rate for our billable professionals by dividing the number of hours that all of our billable professionals worked on client assignments during a period by the total available working hours for all of our billable professionals during the same period. Available hours are determined by the standard hours worked by each employee, adjusted for part-time hours, U.S. standard work weeks and local country holidays. Available working hours include vacation and professional training days but exclude holidays. Utilization rates are presented for our segments that primarily bill clients on an hourly basis.
