FTI Consulting Reports Second Quarter 2014 Results
- Second Quarter Revenues of $454.3 Million
- Second Quarter Adjusted EPS of $0.55; Fully Diluted EPS of $0.42

WASHINGTON, July 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN) (the "Company"), the global business advisory firm dedicated to helping organizations protect and enhance their enterprise value, today released its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

For the quarter, revenues increased 9.6 percent to $454.3 million compared to $414.6 million in the prior year quarter. Fully diluted earnings per share ("EPS") were $0.42 compared to $0.58 in the prior year quarter. EPS for the quarter included a special charge of $9.4 million related to the closure of the Company's West Palm Beach office and the termination of a corporate plane lease which reduced EPS by $0.14. Adjusted EPS for the quarter were $0.55. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $59.9 million or 13.2 percent of revenues compared to $66.0 million or 15.9 percent of revenues in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are non-GAAP measures defined elsewhere in this press release and are reconciled to GAAP measures in the financial tables that accompany this press release.

Commenting on these results, Steven H. Gunby, President and Chief Executive Officer of FTI Consulting said,  "Our second quarter results are in line with the focus and expectations we discussed at our June investor day,  including a focus on organic growth and continued investment to build the business."

Cash and Capital Allocation

Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $33.7 million compared to $21.7 million in the prior year. Cash and cash equivalents were $94.4 million at June 30, 2014.

Second Quarter Segment Results

Corporate Finance/Restructuring
Revenues in the Corporate Finance/Restructuring segment increased 7.6 percent to $104.0 million in the quarter compared to $96.7 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was driven by higher demand for the segment's North America non-distressed service offerings partially offset by continued softness in global bankruptcy engagements. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $19.1 million or 18.4 percent of segment revenues compared to $17.8 million or 18.5 percent of segment revenues in the prior year quarter.

Economic Consulting 
Revenues in the Economic Consulting segment increased 5.6 percent to $117.2 million in the quarter compared to $111.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was due to higher demand in the segment's Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") antitrust litigation practice and higher demand and realized pricing in its EMEA international arbitration, regulatory and valuation practices. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $18.1 million or 15.4 percent of segment revenues compared to $20.8 million or 18.7 percent of segment revenues in the prior year quarter. The decline in Adjusted Segment EBITDA margin was due largely to increased compensation expense related to extensions of employment contracts entered into late last year with key senior client-service professionals and lower utilization in the financial economics practice in North America.

Forensic and Litigation Consulting
Revenues in the Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment increased 13.3 percent to $119.1 million in the quarter compared to $105.1 million in the prior year quarter. Revenues increased organically by 10.4 percent due to increased demand related primarily to disputes and investigations in the segment's North America and Asia Pacific regions. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $22.3 million or 18.7 percent of segment revenues compared to $18.8 million or 17.9 percent of segment revenues in the prior year quarter. The increase in Adjusted Segment EBITDA margin was due to strong utilization and employee leverage in the aforementioned practices, which was partially offset by higher performance-based compensation costs as well as lower success fees and lower utilization as a result of increased hiring in our health solutions practice.

Technology
Revenues in the Technology segment increased 18.6 percent to $60.7 million in the quarter compared to $51.2 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily due to increased demand related to large scale complex global investigations. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $15.1 million or 24.9 percent of segment revenues compared to $16.9 million or 33.0 percent of segment revenues in the prior year quarter. The decrease in Adjusted Segment EBITDA margin was due to an increase in the mix of lower margin services and increased investment in business development activities.

Strategic Communications
Revenues in the Strategic Communications segment increased 5.4 percent to $53.3 million in the quarter compared to $50.6 million in the prior year quarter. Favorable foreign currency translation resulted in a revenues increase of 2.8 percent and the remaining growth resulted from increases in the number of retainer-based relationships in EMEA. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $5.8 million or 10.9 percent of segment revenues compared to $5.2 million or 10.3 percent of segment revenues in the prior year quarter. The increase in Adjusted Segment EBITDA margin was due to the favorable foreign currency translation impact and higher margins on pass-through revenues.

Note: We define Segment Operating Income as a segment's share of consolidated operating income. We define Total Segment Operating Income 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 EBITDA 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 and losses on early extinguishment of debt. 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 define Total Adjusted Segment EBITDA as the total of Adjusted Segment EBITDA for all segments, which excludes unallocated corporate expenses. We use Adjusted Segment EBITDA to internally evaluate the financial performance of our segments because we believe it is a useful supplemental measure which reflects current core operating performance and provides an indicator of the segment's ability to generate cash. We also believe that these measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial results, provide management and investors with a more complete understanding of our operating results, including underlying trends, by excluding the effects of remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges, and goodwill impairment charges. 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 measures, considered along with corresponding GAAP measures, provide management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating results to the operating results of other companies.

We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share ("Adjusted EPS") as net income and earnings per diluted share, respectively, excluding the impact of remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges, goodwill impairment charges and losses on early extinguishment of debt. 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 this measure, when considered together with our GAAP financial results, provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of our business operating results, including underlying trends, by excluding the effects of remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges, goodwill impairment charges and losses on early extinguishment of debt. Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable to 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 Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures are included elsewhere in this press release.

Safe Harbor Statement
This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which 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 estimates will be achieved, and the Company's actual results may differ materially from our expectations, beliefs and estimates. Further, preliminary results are subject to normal year-end adjustments. The Company has experienced fluctuating revenues, operating income and cash flow in prior periods and expects that this will occur from time to time in the future. Other factors that could cause such differences include declines in demand for, or changes in, the mix of services and products that we offer, the mix of the geographic locations where our clients are located or where services are performed, adverse financial, real estate or other market and general economic conditions, which could impact each of our segments differently, 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 filed with the SEC and in the Company's other filings with the SEC, including the risks set forth under "Risks Related to Our Reportable Segments" and "Risks Related to Our Operations". 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 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 and losses on early extinguishment of debt. 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, remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges and goodwill impairment charges. We use Adjusted Segment EBITDA to internally evaluate the financial performance of our segments because we believe it is a useful supplemental measure which reflects current core operating performance and provides an indicator of the segment's ability to generate cash. We also believe that these measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial results, provide management and investors with a more complete understanding of our operating results, including underlying trends, by excluding the effects of remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges and goodwill impairment charges. 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 measures, considered along with corresponding GAAP measures, provide management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating results to the operating results of other companies. 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. Margin is equal to Adjusted Segment EBITDA divided by the respective Segment Revenues. These 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. See also our reconciliation of GAAP to 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.

The tax expense related to the adjustment for special charges for the six months ended June 30,  2013 was $0.2 million with no impact on diluted earnings per share. In the three months ended June 30, 2013, there were no special charges.

(2)The  tax effect takes into account the tax treatment and related tax rate(s) that apply to each adjustment in the applicable tax jurisdiction(s). As a result, the effective tax rates for the adjustments related to the remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were 37.2% and 36.5%, respectively. The tax expense related to the remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.1 million with no impact on diluted earnings per share and $0.9 million or a $0.02 impact on diluted earnings per share. The adjustments related to remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were not taxable.

(3)We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share as net income and earnings per diluted share, respectively, excluding the impact of remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges, goodwill impairment charges and losses on early extinguishment of debt. We use Adjusted Net Income for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share. Management uses Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share to assess total company operating performance on a consistent basis. We believe that this measure, when considered together with our GAAP financial results, provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of our business operating results, including underlying trends, by excluding the effects of remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges, goodwill impairment charges and losses on early extinguishment of debt.

(1) We define Segment Operating Income as a segment's share of consolidated operating income. We define Total Segment Operating Income 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.

 

(2) We define Adjusted EBITDA 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 and losses on early extinguishment of debt. Amounts presented in the Adjusted EBITDA row 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, remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges and goodwill impairment charges. We use Adjusted Segment EBITDA to internally evaluate the financial performance of our segments because we believe it is a useful supplemental measure which reflects current core operating performance and provides an indicator of the segment's ability to generate cash. We also believe that these measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial results, provide management and investors with a more complete understanding of our operating results, including underlying trends, by excluding the effects of remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges and goodwill impairment charges. 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 measures, considered along with corresponding GAAP measures, provide management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating results to the operating results of other companies. 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.  These 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.  See also our reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.
