FTI Consulting, Inc. Reports 2010 Third Quarter Results
- Third Quarter Revenues of $346 Million
- Adjusted EPS of $0.54
- Financing Activities Extend Maturities, Lower Interest Rate and Enhance Liquidity

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Nov. 5, 2010 /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 third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

For the third quarter, revenues were $346.1 million compared to $348.6 million in the prior year period. Earnings per diluted share (EPS) were $0.47 compared to $0.70 in the prior year period. Excluding the $0.07 EPS impact of debt extinguishment costs related to the refinancing of a portion of the Company's long term debt, Adjusted EPS for the third quarter of 2010 was $0.54. Adjusted EBITDA was $65.0 million, or 18.8% of revenues, compared to $77.9 million, or 22.3% 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.

For the quarter, the Company generated $73.9 million in cash from operations.

The Company strengthened its financial position through several related financing transactions consisting of:

 

  • A new $250 million, five-year revolving credit agreement that replaced the $175 million revolving credit agreement;
  • A private offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 6 3/4% senior notes due 2020; and
  • The retirement of $200 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's outstanding 7 5/8% Senior Notes due 2013, $185 million of which was purchased as of September 30, 2010 and the balance was redeemed November 1, 2010.

 

Including the net proceeds from the financing transactions, the Company had $331 million of cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2010. During the third quarter of 2010, the Company repurchased 762,359 shares of its common stock for a total purchase price of approximately $26.1 million.

Commenting on these results, Jack Dunn, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, "Results for the quarter saw three of our segments grow; one was flat and one experienced a significant decline. Forensic and Litigation Consulting grew 11.9% based on the continuation of major cases plus several new FCPA cases, strong investigatory due diligence activities in Asia and Latin America and disputes arising out of the financial crisis and mortgage backed securities. Technology grew 10.4% based on increased volumes in document hosting, revenues from our new Acuity(TM) offering and increased activity in the U.K. and Australia. Strategic Communications grew 5.8%, with both retained and project based work performing well. While the quarter for Economic Consulting was basically flat reflecting a continued dearth of antitrust and M&A work, the segment remains up 11.5% for the nine months compared to a year ago period. Corporate Finance continued to decline from cyclically high results last year and was down 14.1%.

"Our international strategy was advanced meaningfully in the quarter with the acquisition in Asia of a prominent provider of corporate finance, restructuring, turnaround, corporate advisory and recovery services. Hong Kong is now one of our largest offices."

Third Quarter Segment Results

Corporate Finance/Restructuring

Revenues in the Corporate Finance/Restructuring segment decreased 14.1% to $109.7 million from $127.8 million in the third quarter of the prior year. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $26.7 million, or 24.3% of segment revenues, compared with $43.6 million, or 34.1% of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter. The year-over-year decline was due to lower demand for restructuring services resulting from the improvement in high yield markets and the economy. The segment's results benefited from the acquisition in August of its Asia practice, growth in commercial real estate consulting and new operations in Germany and Spain. Adjusted Segment EBITDA margins declined from the prior year due to lower revenues.

Forensic and Litigation Consulting

Revenues in the Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment increased 11.9% to a record $84.0 million from $75.1 million in the third quarter of the prior year. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $20.2 million, or 24.0% of segment revenues, compared to $18.6 million, or 24.7% of segment revenues, in the prior year's third quarter. Segment growth came from increased activity in litigation and corporate investigations, continued growth in services to regulated industries, notably healthcare and pharmaceuticals, and growth in the Ibero-American and Asian investigations practices.

Economic Consulting

Revenues in the Economic Consulting segment were $59.4 million compared to $59.6 million in the third quarter of the prior year. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $11.9 million, or 20.1% of segment revenues, compared to $14.0 million, or 23.4% of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter. Continued growth in the segment's European operations and the financial economics practice were offset by lower demand in antitrust and mergers and acquisition (M&A) activity. Adjusted Segment EBITDA declined compared to the margin levels in the same prior year quarter due to lower utilization.

Technology

Revenues in the Technology segment increased 10.4% to $42.7 million from $38.7 million in the third quarter of the prior year. Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 20.5% to $13.9 million, or 32.6% of segment revenues, compared to $11.5 million, or 29.8% of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter. Revenue performance in the quarter reflected the contribution from two large cases, increased litigation activity, growth in investigation matters, and the continued success of the segment's Acuity(TM) offering, and continued low levels of contribution from M&A 'Second Request' projects. Adjusted Segment EBITDA margins improved from the prior year quarter due to the higher revenues.

Strategic Communications

Revenues in the Strategic Communications segment increased 5.8% to $50.2 million from $47.5 million in the third quarter of the prior year. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $7.2 million, or 14.4% of segment revenues, compared to $6.6 million, or 13.8% of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter. The segment experienced growth in project-based work despite the continued slow environment for discretionary corporate spending and capital markets-related activity. The segment also experienced the fourth consecutive quarter of net annualized retainer wins. Adjusted Segment EBITDA margins improved compared to the prior year quarter due to higher revenues.

Third Quarter Conference Call

FTI will hold a conference call for analysts and investors to discuss third quarter financial results at 9:00 AM Eastern Time on Friday, November 5, 2010. 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. 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.
