- Record Fourth Quarter Revenues of $356.2 Million; Full Year of $1.4 Billion
- Fourth Quarter Diluted EPS of $0.23 including Brand Consolidation Charge of $0.33; Adjusted EPS of $0.56
- Full Year Diluted EPS of $1.51; Adjusted EPS of $2.29

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Feb. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --

 

FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN), the global business advisory firm dedicated to helping organizations protect and enhance their enterprise value, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2010.

Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2010 were a fourth quarter record $356.2 million compared to $342.9 million in the prior year period and $346.1 million in the prior sequential quarter. Adjusted earnings per diluted share (EPS) were $0.56 compared to $0.71 in the prior year period. Adjusted EPS exclude a previously announced non-cash charge of approximately $21.8 million, or $0.33 impact on earnings per diluted share, resulting from the decision to unify substantially all operations under a consolidated brand - FTI Consulting - and the associated write off of trade names from certain acquired businesses. GAAP EPS were $0.23. Adjusted EBITDA was $69.3 million, or 19.5 percent of revenues, compared to $80.8 million, or 23.6 percent of revenues, in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EPS (which appear in the accompanying tables) are non-GAAP measures and are described in further detail below.

Commenting on these results, Jack Dunn, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, "Our 2010 fourth quarter results continued the positive momentum we experienced in the third quarter and the validation of our strategy to offer clients a diversified suite of complementary services around the globe for every cycle of the economy. While in the third quarter our four procyclical businesses offset the decline in our core restructuring activities from the prior year, in the fourth quarter, they more than made up the difference, growing at an impressive average combined rate of 12.9%, led by Technology at 23.6% and FLC at 14.2%, while the rate of decline in Corporate Finance/Restructuring continued to slow. Our business outside the U.S. grew by 13% to 21% of total revenue from 19% in the same period last year.

"Just as importantly, we saw the continuing validation of our intellectual capital and market position. In December, our Corporate Finance/Restructuring practice was again recognized by The Deal magazine as the largest global crisis management firm in both dollar volume and number of transactions at more than two and a half times the nearest competitor. Global Competition Review magazine ranked our Economic Consulting team number one amongst competition specialists for its work in such signature matters as Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems and the United Airlines/Continental merger. Our International Arbitration practice was recognized as the leader in the Expert Witness Research category by Who's Who Legal, and our Strategic Communications practice was awarded PR Firm of the Year by Financial Times/mergermarket, leading the league tables in Europe for an unprecedented 10th straight time.

"We enter 2011 with practices that are leaders in their respective markets and a strong financial position, with nearly $385 million in cash and equivalents for acquisitions, share repurchases and investments in our franchise and brand."

During the quarter, the Company generated $99.2 million in cash from operations, and repurchased approximately 416,000 shares of its common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $14.5 million.

Fourth Quarter Segment Results

Corporate Finance/Restructuring

Revenues in the Corporate Finance/Restructuring segment decreased 9.4 percent to $113.2 million from $124.9 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $28.9 million, or 25.5 percent of segment revenues, compared with $43.8 million, or 35.1 percent of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter. Demand for restructuring services continued to decline from near-record levels a year-ago as a result of continued improvements in the credit markets and the macroeconomic environment. In addition, the segment saw a decline in healthcare and transaction advisory services compared to the fourth quarter of last year. This was partially offset by contributions from its acquired business in Asia, as well as continued growth in Europe. Adjusted Segment EBITDA margins declined from the prior year due to lower demand and a shift in the revenue mix.

Forensic and Litigation Consulting

Revenues in the Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment increased 14.2 percent to $81.0 million from $70.9 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased to $18.9 million, or 23.4 percent of segment revenues, compared to $16.6 million, or 23.3 percent of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter. Demand improved in litigation and regulated industries, particularly healthcare, as well as trial services and in Asia.

Economic Consulting

Revenues in the Economic Consulting segment increased 1.9 percent to $64.4 million from $63.2 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $12.9 million, or 20.0 percent of segment revenues, compared to $13.2 million, or 20.9 percent of segment revenues, for the prior year quarter. The segment continued to see growth in its Financial Economics and International Arbitration practices. M&A activity also strengthened.

Technology

Revenues in the Technology segment increased 23.6 percent to $47.7 million from $38.6 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $17.9 million, or 37.4 percent of segment revenues, compared to $13.6 million, or 35.1 percent of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter. Demand improved in litigation and investigation matters. During the quarter the segment also benefitted from increased direct license revenues and the continued growth of its Acuity(TM) offering. Adjusted Segment EBITDA margins improved from the prior year quarter due to the higher revenues.

Strategic Communications

Revenues in the Strategic Communications segment increased 10.2 percent to $49.9 million from $45.3 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $7.4 million, or 14.9 percent of segment revenues, compared to $6.7 million, or 14.8 percent of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter. Primary regional contributors to the segment's growth during the quarter were the Americas and Asia-Pacific, which offset a small decline in the UK.

2011 Guidance

Based on current market conditions, the Company estimates that revenues for the year will be between $1.43 billion and $1.49 billion and diluted EPS will be between $2.00 and $2.20. Organic revenue growth is expected to be modest as the trends of the last several quarters are expected to continue. Margins are expected to be lower due to the previously announced costs associated with brand conversion, investments in strengthening infrastructure to support future growth in international markets, higher compensation expense, and increased interest costs associated with the cash raised in October through a bond offering. This guidance assumes no acquisitions and no share repurchases.

Fourth Quarter Conference Call

FTI will hold a conference call for analysts and investors to discuss fourth quarter financial results at 9:00 AM Eastern Time on February 24, 2011. The call can be accessed live and will be available for replay over the Internet for 90 days by logging onto the Company's website, http://www.fticonsulting.com/.

Use of Non-GAAP Measure

Note: We define Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated operating income before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and special charges plus non-operating litigation settlements. We define Adjusted Segment EBITDA as the segment's share of consolidated operating income before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and special charges plus non-operating litigation settlements. We define Adjusted earnings per diluted share (Adjusted EPS) as earnings per diluted share excluding the per share impact of the special charges and debt extinguishment costs that were incurred in that year. Although Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are not measures of financial condition or performance determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we believe that these measures can be a useful operating performance measure for evaluating our results of operations as compared from period to period and as compared to our competitors. EBITDA is a common alternative measure of operating performance used by investors, financial analysts and rating agencies to value and compare the financial performance of companies in our industry. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA to evaluate and compare the operating performance of our segments.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Segment EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies unless the definition is the same. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, the information contained in our statements of income. Reconciliations of operating profit to Adjusted EBITDA, segment operating profit to Adjusted Segment EBITDA and EPS to Adjusted EPS are included in the accompanying tables to today's press release.

Safe Harbor Statement

This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve uncertainties and risks. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues, future results and performance, expectations, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions and other matters, business trends and other information that is not historical, including statements regarding estimates of our future financial results. When used in this press release, words such as "estimates," expects," "anticipates," "projects," "plans," "intends," "believes," "forecasts" and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, estimates of our future financial results, are based upon our expectations at the time we make them and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith, and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management's expectations, beliefs and projections will result or be achieved or that actual results will not differ from expectations. The Company has experienced fluctuating revenues, operating income and cash flow in some prior periods and expects this will occur from time to time in the future. The Company's actual results may differ from our expectations. Further, preliminary results are subject to normal year-end adjustments. Other factors that could cause such differences include adverse financial and real estate market and general economic conditions, the pace and timing of the consummation and integration of past and future acquisitions, the Company's ability to realize cost savings and efficiencies, competitive and general economic conditions, retention of staff and clients and other risks described under the heading "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in the Company's most recent Form 10-K and in the Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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.

(1) We define Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated operating income before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and special charges plus non-operating litigation settlements. Amounts presented in the Adjusted EBITDA column for each segment reflect the segments' respective Adjusted Segment EBITDA. We define Adjusted Segment EBITDA as a segment's share of consolidated operating income before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and special charges plus non-operating litigation settlements. Although Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are not measures of financial condition or performance determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we believe that these measures can be a useful operating performance measure for evaluating our results of operations as compared from period to period and as compared to our competitors. EBITDA is a common alternative measure of operating performance used by investors, financial analysts and rating agencies to value and compare the financial performance of companies in our industry. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA to evaluate and compare the operating performance of our segments.

 

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies unless the definition is the same. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, the information contained in our Statements of Income. See also our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.

 

(2) The majority of the Technology and Strategic Communications segments' revenues are not generated based on billable hours. Accordingly,

utilization and average billable rate metrics are not presented as they are not meaningful as a segment-wide metric.

 

(3) Effective January 1, 2010, we implemented a change in our organizational structure that resulted in the movement of our Financial and Enterprise Data Analytics subpractice from our Technology segment to our Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment. This change has been reflected in our segment reporting for all periods presented.

 

(4) 2010 utilization and average billable rate calculations for our Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment include information related to non-domestic operations that was not available in 2009.

(1) We define Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated operating income before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and special charges plus non-operating litigation settlements. Amounts presented in the Adjusted EBITDA column for each segment reflect the segments' respective Adjusted Segment EBITDA. We define Adjusted Segment EBITDA as a segment's share of consolidated operating income before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and special charges plus non-operating litigation settlements. Although Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are not measures of financial condition or performance determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we believe that these measures can be a useful operating performance measure for evaluating our results of operations as compared from period to period and as compared to our competitors. EBITDA is a common alternative measure of operating performance used by investors, financial analysts and rating agencies to value and compare the financial performance of companies in our industry. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA to evaluate and compare the operating performance of our segments.

 

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies unless the definition is the same. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, the information contained in our Statements of Income. See also our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.

 

(2) Effective January 1, 2010, we implemented a change in our organizational structure that resulted in the movement of our Financial and Enterprise Data Analytics subpractice from our Technology segment to our Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment. This change has been reflected in our segment reporting for all periods.
