FTI Consulting Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 Financial Results

Washington, D.C., February 25, 2020 — FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN) today released financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2019.

For the full year 2019, revenues of $2.353 billion increased $324.8 million, or 16.0%, compared to revenues of $2.028 billion in the prior year. Excluding the estimated negative impact from foreign currency translation, revenues increased $351.2 million, or 17.3%, compared to the prior year. The increase in revenues was driven by higher demand across all business segments compared to the prior year. Net income of $216.7 million compared to $150.6 million in the prior year. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher operating profits across all business segments, lower interest expense and a lower effective tax rate. 2018 net income included a $13.0 million gain related to the sale of the Company’s Ringtail e-discovery software and related business (“Ringtail divestiture”), which was partially offset by a $9.1 million loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the Company’s redemption of $300.0 million of its 6.0% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Senior Notes”).

Adjusted EBITDA of $343.9 million, or 14.6% of revenues, compared to $265.7 million, or 13.1% of revenues, in the prior year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher revenues across all business segments, which was partially offset by higher compensation, primarily related to an increase in variable compensation and a 17.8% increase in billable headcount, as well as higher selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses compared to the prior year.

Full year 2019 fully diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $5.69 compared to $3.93 in the prior year. 2019 EPS included $8.6 million of non-cash interest expense related to the Company’s 2.0% convertible senior notes due 2023 (“2023 Convertible Notes”), which reduced EPS by $0.17, and a $2.1 million tax gain related to the Ringtail divestiture, which increased EPS by $0.06. 2018 EPS included a $9.1 million loss on early extinguishment of debt, which reduced EPS by $0.17, and $3.0 million of non-cash interest expense related to the 2023 Convertible Notes, which reduced EPS by $0.06. This was partially offset by the $13.0 million gain

from the Ringtail divestiture, which increased 2018 EPS by $0.16. 2019 Adjusted EPS of $5.80, which excludes the non-cash interest expense and tax gain from the Ringtail divestiture, compared to Adjusted EPS of $4.00 in the prior year. 2018 Adjusted EPS excluded the loss on early extinguishment of debt, non-cash interest expense and gain from the Ringtail divestiture.

Commenting on these results, Steven H. Gunby, President and Chief Executive Officer of FTI Consulting, said, “The level of notable growth we have achieved the last couple of years only happens through intense commitment by our people in support of our clients, together with major efforts to attract and support them as they build businesses. I therefore want to thank our leadership and teams across the globe for that commitment and congratulate the entire team on the success.”

Cash Position and Capital Allocation

Net cash provided by operating activities of $217.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $230.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The year-over-year decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was largely due to the pace of cash collections lagging the increase in revenues throughout the year.

Cash and cash equivalents of $369.4 million at December 31, 2019 compared to $258.5 million at September 30, 2019 and $312.1 million at December 31, 2018. Total debt, net of cash, of ($53.1) million at December 31, 2019 improved compared to $57.8 million at September 30, 2019 and $4.2 million at December 31, 2018. The sequential decrease in total debt, net of cash, was due to an increase in cash provided by operating activities, which was partially offset by cash used for share repurchases.

During the quarter, the Company repurchased 259,823 shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $107.71 for a total cost of $28.0 million. In full year 2019, the Company repurchased 1,258,420 shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $84.16 for a total cost of $105.9 million. As of December 31, 2019, approximately $66.6 million remained available for stock repurchases under the Company’s $400.0 million stock repurchase authorization. On February 20, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an additional $100.0 million to repurchase shares of FTI Consulting’s outstanding common stock pursuant to its stock repurchase program, for an aggregate authorization of $500.0 million. As of February 24, 2020, FTI Consulting had repurchased 7,140,941 shares of its outstanding common stock at an average price per share of $46.66 for an aggregate cost of approximately $333.2 million. After giving effect to share repurchases through such date and the increased authorization, FTI Consulting has approximately $166.6 million remaining available for common stock repurchases under the program. No time limit was established for the completion of the program, and the program may be suspended, discontinued or replaced by the Board at any time without prior notice.

Under the program, FTI Consulting may repurchase shares in open-market purchases or any other method in accordance with applicable securities laws and regulations. The specific timing and amount of repurchases will be determined by FTI Consulting’s management, in its discretion, and will vary based on market conditions, securities law limitations and other factors. The repurchases may be funded using available cash on hand or a combination of cash and available borrowings under FTI Consulting’s senior secured revolving bank credit facility.

Fourth Quarter 2019 Results

Fourth quarter 2019 revenues of $602.2 million increased $97.2 million, or 19.3%, compared to revenues of $505.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was driven by higher demand across all business segments and an increase in pass-through revenues compared to the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA of $58.3 million, or 9.7% of revenues, compared to $53.7 million, or 10.6% of revenues, in the prior year quarter. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to higher revenues across all business segments, which was partially offset by higher compensation related to an increase in variable compensation and a 17.8% increase in billable headcount, as well as higher SG&A expenses compared to the prior year quarter.

Fourth quarter 2019 EPS of $0.76 compared to $0.61 in the prior year quarter.

Use of Non-GAAP 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. Specifically, we have referred to the following non-GAAP financial measures:

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 Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues.

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 Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share (“Adjusted EPS”), which are non-GAAP financial measures, as net income and earnings per diluted share (“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, gain or loss on sale of a business and the impact of adopting the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. 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.

We define Free Cash Flow, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as net cash provided by operating activities less cash payments for purchases of property and equipment. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure, when considered together with our GAAP financial results, provides management and investors with an additional understanding of the Company’s ability to generate cash for ongoing business operations and other capital deployment.

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 Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.
