FTI Consulting Reports Record Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results
  • Second Quarter 2024 Revenues of $949.2 Million, Up 10% Compared to $864.6 Million in Prior Year Quarter
  • Second Quarter 2024 EPS of $2.34, Up 34% Compared to $1.75 in Prior Year Quarter
  • Company Raises Full Year 2024 Revenue and EPS Guidance Ranges to Reflect Record First Half of 2024

WASHINGTON, July 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN) today released financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Second quarter 2024 revenues of $949.2 million increased $84.6 million, or 9.8%, compared to revenues of $864.6 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily due to higher demand in the Corporate Finance & Restructuring, Economic Consulting and Technology segments. Net income of $83.9 million compared to $62.4 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher revenues, a lower effective tax rate and a foreign currency remeasurement gain compared to a loss in the prior year quarter, which was partially offset by an increase in compensation and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses compared to the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA of $115.9 million, or 12.2% of revenues, compared to $100.2 million, or 11.6% of revenues, in the prior year quarter. Second quarter 2024 earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) of $2.34 compared to $1.75 in the prior year quarter.

Steven H. Gunby, President and Chief Executive Officer of FTI Consulting, commented, "Our terrific results this quarter and in the first quarter together delivered an exceptional first half of the year. To us, these results, in the face of complicated economic times, show the power of our multiyear commitment to continue to attract and support talented professionals who are committed to making a difference for our clients."

Cash Position and Capital Allocation

Net cash provided by operating activities of $135.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $11.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The year-over-year increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in cash collections resulting from higher revenues, which was partially offset by higher operating expenses and an increase in compensation payments primarily related to higher variable compensation, annual salary increases and headcount growth compared to the prior year quarter.

Cash and cash equivalents of $226.4 million at June 30, 2024 compared to $203.5 million at June 30, 2023 and $244.0 million at March 31, 2024. Total debt, net of cash, of ($166.4) million at June 30, 2024 compared to $137.2 million at June 30, 2023 and ($39.0) million at March 31, 2024.

There were no share repurchases during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, approximately $460.7 million remained available for common stock repurchases under the Company’s stock repurchase program.

Second Quarter 2024 Segment Results

Corporate Finance & Restructuring
Revenues in the Corporate Finance & Restructuring segment increased $30.1 million, or 9.5%, to $348.0 million in the quarter compared to $317.9 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily due to higher demand and realized bill rates for business transformation & strategy and transactions services, which was partially offset by lower restructuring revenues. Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $66.5 million, or 19.1% of segment revenues, compared to $45.5 million, or 14.3% of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter. The increase in Adjusted Segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher revenues, which was partially offset by an increase in variable compensation compared to the prior year quarter.

Forensic and Litigation Consulting
Revenues in the Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment increased $4.7 million, or 2.9%, to $169.5 million in the quarter compared to $164.8 million in the prior year quarter. Acquisition-related revenues contributed $1.9 million in the quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily due to higher demand for disputes services and higher realized bill rates for construction solutions services, which was partially offset by lower demand for investigations services. Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $15.0 million, or 8.8% of segment revenues, compared to $25.6 million, or 15.5% of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter. The decrease in Adjusted Segment EBITDA was primarily due to an increase in compensation and SG&A expenses, which more than offset the increase in revenues compared to the prior year quarter.

Economic Consulting
Revenues in the Economic Consulting segment increased $29.1 million, or 14.4%, to $230.9 million in the quarter compared to $201.8 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily due to higher demand and realized bill rates for merger and acquisition (“M&A”)-related antitrust and financial economics services, which was partially offset by lower demand and realized bill rates for non-M&A-related antitrust services. Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $44.3 million, or 19.2% of segment revenues, compared to $35.5 million, or 17.6% of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter. The increase in Adjusted Segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher revenues, which was partially offset by an increase in compensation, which includes the impact of a 3.6% increase in billable headcount and higher variable compensation, as well as higher SG&A expenses compared to the prior year quarter.

Technology
Revenues in the Technology segment increased $18.4 million, or 18.9%, to $115.9 million in the quarter compared to $97.4 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily due to higher demand for M&A-related “second request” services, which was partially offset by lower demand for investigations services. Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $20.9 million, or 18.1% of segment revenues, compared to $20.1 million, or 20.6% of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter. The increase in Adjusted Segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher revenues, which was largely offset by an increase in compensation, which includes higher as-needed consultant costs and the impact of a 12.4% increase in billable headcount, as well as higher SG&A expenses compared to the prior year quarter.

Strategic Communications
Revenues in the Strategic Communications segment increased $2.3 million, or 2.8%, to $84.9 million in the quarter compared to $82.7 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily driven by a $1.7 million increase in pass-through revenues. Excluding pass-through revenues, revenues increased $0.6 million, or 0.7%, primarily driven by an increase in public affairs revenues, which was partially offset by lower corporate reputation revenues. Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $11.6 million, or 13.7% of segment revenues, compared to $12.3 million, or 14.8% of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter. The decrease in Adjusted Segment EBITDA was primarily due to an increase in SG&A expenses, which more than offset the increase in revenues compared to the prior year quarter.

2024 Guidance
After a record first half of 2024, the Company is raising its full year 2024 guidance ranges for revenues and EPS. The Company now estimates that revenues for full year 2024 will range between $3.700 billion and $3.790 billion, which compares to the prior range of between $3.650 billion and $3.790 billion. The Company now estimates EPS for full year 2024 will range between $8.10 and $8.60, which compares to the prior range of between $7.75 and $8.50. The Company does not currently expect Adjusted EPS to differ from EPS.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In the accompanying analysis of financial information, we sometimes use information derived from consolidated and segment financial information that may not be presented in our financial statements or prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Certain of these financial measures are considered not in conformity with GAAP ("non-GAAP financial measures") under the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules. Specifically, we have referred to the following non-GAAP financial measures:

  • Total Segment Operating Income
  • Adjusted EBITDA
  • Total Adjusted Segment EBITDA
  • Adjusted EBITDA Margin
  • Adjusted Net Income
  • Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share

We have included the definitions of Segment Operating Income and Adjusted Segment EBITDA, which are GAAP financial measures, below in order to more fully define the components of certain non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release. We define Segment Operating Income as a segment’s share of consolidated operating income. We define Total Segment Operating Income, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, 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 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 as a basis to internally evaluate the financial performance of our segments because we believe it reflects current core operating performance and provides an indicator of the segment’s ability to generate cash.

We define Total Adjusted Segment EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as the total of Adjusted Segment EBITDA for all segments, which excludes unallocated corporate expenses. We define Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, 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, gain or loss on sale of a business and losses on early extinguishment of debt. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial results and GAAP financial measures, provide management and investors with a more complete understanding of our operating results, including underlying trends. 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 non-GAAP financial measures, considered along with corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating results with the operating results of other companies. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues.

We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share ("Adjusted EPS"), which are non-GAAP financial measures, as net income and EPS, respectively, excluding the impact of remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges, goodwill impairment charges, losses on early extinguishment of debt, non-cash interest expense on convertible notes and the gain or loss on sale of a business. 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 these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial results and GAAP financial measures, provide management and investors with an additional understanding of our business operating results, including underlying trends.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable with 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

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.

N/M Not meaningful
(1) 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.
(2)  Effective July 1, 2023, prior period segment information for the Corporate Finance & Restructuring and Forensic and Litigation Consulting segments has been recast in this press release to include the reclassification of a portion of the Company’s health solutions practice in the Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment to the Company’s business transformation & strategy practice within the Corporate Finance & Restructuring segment.
