WASHINGTON, Feb. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE:FCN) today released financial results for the full year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023.

For the full year 2023, revenues of $3.489 billion increased $460.3 million, or 15.2%, compared to revenues of $3.029 billion in the prior year. The increase in revenues was due to higher demand across all business segments. Net income of $274.9 million compared to $235.5 million in the prior year. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher revenues, which was partially offset by higher compensation, a 17.2% increase in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses and higher income taxes compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA of $424.8 million, or 12.2% of revenues, compared to $357.6 million, or 11.8% of revenues, in the prior year.

Full year 2023 earnings per diluted share ("EPS") of $7.71 compared to $6.58 in the prior year. Full year 2022 EPS included an $8.3 million special charge related to severance and other employee-related costs, which reduced EPS by $0.19. Full year 2023 Adjusted EPS of $7.71 compared to Adjusted EPS of $6.77 in the prior year.

Steven H. Gunby, President and Chief Executive Officer of FTI Consulting, commented, "In 2023, we continued our sustained, multi-year growth trajectory and once again delivered record revenues and earnings. These results reflect our continued ability to win in the two markets that matter most: the market for making a difference for clients and the market for great talent. That progress leaves me ever more confident about the future of our firm."

Cash Position and Capital Allocation

Net cash provided by operating activities of $224.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $188.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The year-over-year increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher cash collections resulting from increased revenues. The increase was partially offset by higher compensation expenses, primarily related to headcount growth, an increase in other operating expenses and higher use of working capital required for growth.

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $328.7 million at December 31, 2023 compared to $491.7 million at December 31, 2022 and $225.6 million at September 30, 2023. Total debt, net of cash and short-term investments, of ($328.7) million at December 31, 2023 compared to ($175.5) million at December 31, 2022 and $59.4 million at September 30, 2023. The sequential decrease in total debt, net of cash and short-term investments, was primarily due to an increase in cash provided by operating activities.

There were no share repurchases during the quarter ended December 31, 2023. In full year 2023, the Company repurchased 112,139 shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $158.70 for a total cost of $17.8 million. As of December 31, 2023, approximately $460.7 million remained available for common stock repurchases under the Company's stock repurchase program.

The increase in revenues was due to higher demand across all business segments. Net income of $81.6 million compared to $47.5 million in the prior year quarter.

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.
