1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of FTI Consulting, Inc., including its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “FTI Consulting”) presented herein, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Some of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In management’s opinion, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All adjustments made were normal recurring accruals. Results of operations for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Earnings Per Common Share

2. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share adjust basic earnings per common share for the effects of potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares include the dilutive effects of shares issuable under our equity compensation plans, including stock options and restricted stock, each using the treasury stock method.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

3. New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance will be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented. We do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASU 2014-09, which requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. On July 9, 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the standard by one year which would result in the new standard being effective for the Company at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal year 2018. We have not evaluated the impact of the new standard, including possible transition alternatives, on the Company’s financial statements.

Special Charges

4. Special Charges

There were no special charges recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded special charges totaling $9.4 million, of which $0.6 million was non-cash. The charges consisted of $7.9 million related to the termination of the Company’s corporate airplane lease and $1.5 million related to the closure of the Company’s West Palm Beach executive office and related lease termination.

The total cash outflow associated with the special charges recorded in 2014, 2013 and 2012 is expected to be $65.1 million, of which $50.8 million has been paid as of June 30, 2015. Approximately $2.2 million is expected to be paid during the remainder of 2015, $3.3 million is expected to be paid in 2016, $3.1 million is expected to be paid in 2017, $2.7 million is expected to be paid in 2018, and the remaining balance of $3.0 million will be paid from 2019 to 2025. A liability for the current and noncurrent portions of the amounts to be paid is included in “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other” and “Other liabilities,” respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Activity related to the liability for these costs for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is as follows:

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Unbilled Services

5. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Unbilled Services

We record adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts and unbilled services as a reduction in revenue when there are changes in estimates of fee reductions that may be imposed by bankruptcy courts and other regulatory institutions, for both billed and unbilled receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts and unbilled services is also adjusted after the related work has been billed to the client and we discover that collectability is not reasonably assured. These adjustments are recorded to “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and totaled $3.6 million and $6.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $4.2 million and $8.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We consider the recorded value of certain financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, to approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, based on the short-term nature of the assets and liabilities. The fair value of our long-term debt at June 30, 2015 was $740.5 million compared to a carrying value of $711.0 million. At December 31, 2014, the fair value of our long-term debt was $735.0 million compared to a carrying value of $711.0 million. We determine the fair value of our long-term debt primarily based on quoted market prices for our 6³/₄% Senior Notes Due 2020 (“2020 Notes”) and 6.0% Senior Notes Due 2022 (“2022 Notes,” and together with the 2020 Notes, the “Senior Notes”). The fair value of our long-term debt is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, because it is traded in less active markets.

For business combinations consummated on or after January 1, 2009, we estimate the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration based on the present value of the consideration expected to be paid during the remainder of the earnout period, based on management’s assessment of the acquired operations’ forecasted earnings. This fair value measure is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. Fair value measurements characterized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are measured based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect our own assumptions in measuring fair value.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of our acquisition-related contingent consideration include our measures of the future profitability and related cash flows of the acquired business or assets, impacted by appropriate discount rates. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumptions used for the discount rates is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the fair value measurement and a change in the assumptions used for the future cash flows is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the fair value measurement. The fair value of the contingent consideration is reassessed on a quarterly basis by the Company using additional information as it becomes available.

Any change in the fair value of an acquisition’s contingent consideration liability results in a remeasurement gain or loss that is recorded as income or expense, respectively, and is included within “Acquisition-related contingent consideration” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded $1.7 million gain related to the change in fair value of future contingent consideration payments, of which $1.5 million related to a termination of a contingent consideration arrangement, for which no future payments will be made. Fair value remeasurement gains of $0.3 million and $2.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

The following table represents the changes in the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively:

Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. For intangible assets with finite lives, we recorded amortization expense of $3.0 million and $6.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $3.5 and $8.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Based solely on the amortizable intangible assets recorded as of June 30, 2015, we estimate amortization expense to be $5.8 million during the remainder of 2015, $10.6 million in 2016, $9.8 million in 2017, $8.2 million in 2018, $7.6 million in 2019, $7.4 million in 2020, and $15.4 million in years after 2020. Actual amortization expense to be reported in future periods could differ from these estimates as a result of new intangible asset acquisitions, finalization of asset valuations for newly acquired assets, changes in useful lives, changes in value due to foreign currency translation, and other factors.

Long-term debt, net of current portion	$	700,000	$	700,000

On June 26, 2015, we entered into a credit agreement (the “2015 Credit Agreement”), which effectively amended and extended our prior Credit Agreement, dated November 27, 2012 (the “2012 Credit Agreement”). The 2012 Credit Agreement provided for a five-year $350 million senior secured revolving line of credit maturing on November 27, 2017. The 2015 Credit Agreement provides for a $550 million senior secured revolving line of credit (the “2015 Credit Facility”) maturing on June 26, 2020. We did not incur any early termination or prepayment penalties in connection with the replacement of the 2012 Credit Agreement. At the Company’s option, borrowings under the 2015 Credit Facility will bear interest at either one, two or three month LIBOR or an alternative base rate, in each case plus the applicable margin. Borrowings will initially bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum, in the case of LIBOR borrowings, or at the alternate base rate plus 0.75% per annum, in the case of base rate loans. After delivering the compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015, the applicable margin will fluctuate between 1.375% per annum and 2.00% per annum, in the case of LIBOR borrowings, or between 0.375% per annum and 1.00% per annum, in the case of base rate borrowings, in each case, based upon the Company’s Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) at such time.

We will initially be required to pay a commitment fee of 0.30% per annum on the daily unused amount of the facility and a letter of credit fronting fee of 1.75% per annum on the maximum amount available to be drawn under each letter of credit that is issued and outstanding. After delivering the compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2015, the commitment fee rate will fluctuate between 0.25% and 0.35% per annum and the letter of credit fee rate will fluctuate between 1.375% and 2.00% per annum, in each case, based upon the Company’s Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio.

Under the 2015 Credit Facility, the lenders have a security interest in substantially all of the existing and after acquired assets of FTI Consulting, Inc. and substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries. Subject to certain conditions, at any time prior to maturity, we will be able to invite existing and new lenders to increase the size of the revolving credit facility under the 2015 Credit Agreement or provide new term loans under the 2015 Credit Agreement, in each case, up to a maximum of $100.0 million plus unlimited amounts so long as the effect of the new increase does not cause the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio to be greater than 3.50 to 1.00.

The 2015 Credit Agreement governing our 2015 Credit Facility and the indentures governing our Notes contain covenants which, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens, pay dividends on our capital stock, make distributions or repurchases of our capital stock or make specified other restricted payments, consolidate, merge or sell assets or engage in sale-leasebacks, guarantee obligations of other entities and our foreign subsidiaries, make investments and loans, enter into transactions with affiliates or related persons, repay, redeem or purchase certain indebtedness (or modify the terms thereof), make material changes to accounting and reporting practices and engage in any business other than consulting-related businesses or substantially related, complimentary or incidental businesses. In addition, the 2015 Credit Agreement governing our 2015 Credit Facility includes financial covenants that require us to (i) not to exceed a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio (the ratio of total funded debt to adjusted EBITDA), (and (iii) not to exceed a maximum consolidated interest coverage ratio (the ratio of adjusted EBITDA minus capital expenditures and cash taxes to cash interest). At June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenants as stipulated in the 2015 Credit Agreement governing our 2015 Credit Facility and the indentures governing our Senior Notes. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Company’s 2015 Credit Facility as of June 30, 2015.

Segment Reporting

13. Segment Reporting

We manage our business in five reportable segments: Corporate Finance/Restructuring, Forensic and Litigation Consulting, Economic Consulting, Technology and Strategic Communications.

Our Corporate Finance/Restructuring segment focuses on strategic, operational, financial and capital needs of businesses around the world and provides consulting and advisory services on a wide range of areas, such as restructuring (including bankruptcy), interim management, financings, mergers and acquisitions, post-acquisition integration, valuations, tax issues and performance improvement.

Our Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment provides law firms, companies, government clients and other interested parties with dispute advisory, investigations, forensic accounting, business intelligence assessments, data analytics, risk mitigation services as well as interim management and performance improvement services for our health solutions practice clients.

Our Economic Consulting segment provides law firms, companies, government entities and other interested parties with analysis of complex economic issues for use in legal, regulatory and international arbitration proceedings, strategic decision making and public policy debates in the U.S. and around the world.

Our Technology segment provides electronic discovery and information management consulting, software and services to its clients. It provides products, services and consulting to companies, law firms, courts and government agencies worldwide. Its comprehensive suite of software and services help clients locate, review and produce electronically stored information, including e-mail, computer files, voicemail, instant messaging, cloud and social media data as well as financial and transactional data.

Our Strategic Communications segment provides advice and consulting services relating to financial and corporate communications and investor relations, reputation management and brand communications, public affairs, business consulting and digital design and marketing.

We evaluate the performance of our operating segments based on 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 define Total Adjusted Segment EBITDA as the total of Adjusted Segment EBITDA for all segments, which excludes unallocated corporate expenses. Although Adjusted Segment EBITDA is not a measure of financial condition or performance determined in accordance with GAAP, 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.

The table below presents revenues and Adjusted Segment EBITDA for our reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:
