Company Updates 2015 Guidance to Revenues of between $1.75 Billion and $1.85 Billion and Adjusted EPS of between $1.95 and $2.15

WASHINGTON, July 30, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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, 2015.

For the quarter, revenues decreased 1.1 percent to $449.1 million, which included a 3.1 percent estimated negative impact due to foreign currency translation ("FX"), compared to $454.3 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding the estimated negative impact of FX, revenues increased 2.0 percent compared to the prior year quarter. Fully diluted earnings per share ("EPS") were $0.52 compared to $0.42 in the prior year quarter. EPS in the quarter included contingent consideration remeasurement gains, which increased EPS by $0.02. EPS in the prior year quarter included a special charge of $9.4 million, which reduced EPS by $0.14. Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA, which exclude the remeasurement gains and special charges, were $0.50 and $55.8 million, or 12.4 percent of revenues in the quarter, compared to $0.55 and $59.9 million, or 13.2 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 accompanying financial tables.

Commenting on these results, Steven H. Gunby, President and Chief Executive Officer of FTI Consulting, said, "Our second quarter operating performance was solid and in line with our expectations. Obviously there is still much work to do, but our teams are making real progress towards turning this business into a sustainable growth engine."

Cash Position

Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $20.6 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $33.7 million in the prior year quarter. Cash and cash equivalents were $240.0 million at June 30, 2015 compared to $94.4 million at June 30, 2014.

Second Quarter Segment Results

Corporate Finance/Restructuring

Revenues in the Corporate Finance/Restructuring segment increased 4.9 percent to $109.1 million in the quarter, which included a 4.0 percent estimated negative impact due to FX, compared to $104.0 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding the estimated negative impact of FX, revenues increased 8.9 percent. The increase in revenues was driven by higher demand for the segment's distressed and non-distressed service offerings in North America and higher demand for the segment's transaction advisory services in the Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") region, which was partially offset by the continued softness in the Asia Pacific region. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $22.0 million, or 20.2 percent of segment revenues, compared to $19.1 million, or 18.4 percent of segment revenues in the prior year quarter. The increase in Adjusted Segment EBITDA margin was due to an increase in higher margin distressed activity in North America and EMEA, coupled with growth in the transaction advisory services practice in EMEA, which was partially offset by lower restructuring activity in the Asia Pacific region.

Forensic and Litigation Consulting

Revenues in the Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment increased 5.9 percent to $126.1 million in the quarter, which included a 1.9 percent estimated negative impact due to FX, compared to $119.1 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding the estimated negative impact of FX, revenues increased 7.9 percent. The increase in revenues was driven by higher demand and success fees in the segment's health solutions practice and increased demand for the segment's investigations and global construction solutions practices, which was partially offset by declines in the disputes and financial and enterprise data analytics practices. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $20.0 million, or 15.8 percent of segment revenues, compared to $22.3 million, or 18.7 percent of segment revenues in the prior year quarter. The decrease in Adjusted Segment EBITDA margin was due to lower utilization in certain practices coupled with an increase in staffing in order to expand capabilities, a $1.5 million severance charge related to a senior managing director departure and higher outside services and bad debt expenses.

Economic Consulting

Revenues in the Economic Consulting segment declined 7.3 percent to $108.7 million in the quarter, which included a 2.8 percent estimated negative impact due to FX and a 1.8 percent benefit from a prior year acquisition, compared to $117.2 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding the estimated negative impact of FX and the benefit from the acquisition, revenues declined 6.3 percent. The decline in revenues was driven by decreased demand in non-mergers and acquisitions ("M&A") related antitrust and financial economics services, which was partially offset by higher demand for international arbitration services. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $15.3 million, or 14.1 percent of segment revenues, compared to $18.0 million, or 15.4 percent of segment revenues in the prior year quarter. The decrease in Adjusted Segment EBITDA margin was due to lower utilization in the non-M&A related antitrust and financial economics practices, which was partially offset by higher realized bill rates and utilization in the segment's energy services.

Technology

Revenues in the Technology segment increased 1.8 percent to $61.8 million in the quarter, which included a 1.0 percent decrease from the estimated negative impact due to FX, compared to $60.7 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding the estimated negative impact of FX, revenues increased 2.8 percent. The increase in revenues was due to higher M&A-related "second request" assignments, which was partially offset by a decline in cross-border investigations and reduced pricing for certain services. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $12.2 million, or 19.7 percent of segment revenues, compared to $15.1 million, or 24.9 percent of segment revenues in the prior year quarter. The decrease in Adjusted Segment EBITDA margin was due to lower realized pricing for certain services, investment in global personnel to support future growth opportunities and an increase in lower margin services as a percentage of total revenues.

Strategic Communications

Revenues in the Strategic Communications segment decreased 18.6 percent to $43.4 million in the quarter, which included a 7.3 percent decrease from the estimated negative impact due to FX, compared to $53.3 million in the prior year quarter. Excluding the estimated negative impact of FX, revenues decreased 11.3 percent with $4.3 million of the year-over-year decline resulting from lower pass-through income. The remaining decline resulted from lower project-based revenues in North America and EMEA and lower retainer-based revenues in North America. Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $5.6 million, or 13.0 percent of segment revenues, compared to $5.8 million, or 10.9 percent of segment revenues in the prior year quarter. The increase in Adjusted Segment EBITDA margin was driven by a decrease in lower margin pass-through income and reduced headcount-related costs resulting from cost saving activities initiated in 2014, which was partially offset by higher bad debt.

2015 Guidance

The Company now estimates that revenues for 2015 will be between $1.75 billion and $1.85 billion and Adjusted EPS will be between $1.95 and $2.15.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Note: We define Segment Operating Income (Loss) as a segment's share of consolidated operating income (Loss). We define Total Segment Operating Income (Loss) as the total of Segment Operating Income (Loss) for all segments, which excludes unallocated corporate expenses. We use Segment Operating Income (Loss) for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Segment EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated net income (loss) 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 loss 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 define Adjusted Segment EBITDA margin as Adjusted Segment EBITDA as a percentage of a segment's share of revenue. 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 (loss) 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.
