Key Takeaways FTI Consulting reaffirmed 2026 revenue guidance of $3.94-$4.10B as three key segments posted growth.FCN's Q2 operating cash flow more than doubled year over year, while its current ratio stood at 2.03.FCN faces cost pressure after Q2 adjusted EBITDA fell 6.4% and net income declined 19.4%. FTI Consulting, Inc. (FCN - Free Report) benefits from continued demand for specialized consulting expertise across sectors. The company’s robust liquidity profile supports its long-term prospects. Increasing investments in sustainability and Artificial Intelligence (AI), along with shareholder-friendly policies, increase the stock’s appeal to investors.

FCN has a Growth Score of B. This style score condenses key financial metrics to reflect a fair sense of the quality and sustainability of its growth.

The company’s third-quarter 2026 earnings are expected to increase 1.9% year over year. Its 2026 and 2027 earnings are projected to rise 4.8% and 19.5%, respectively. Revenues are anticipated to grow 5.1% in 2026 and 6.8% in 2027.

Factors That Bode Well for FCN’s SuccessSpecialized Expertise Aids Top Line: FCN’s specialized expertise across restructuring, transactions, investigations, litigation, disputes and reputational matters is driving long-term growth. The company’s expert-led models and AI tools are further boosting demand. This growing demand across multiple practices mitigates the impact of macroeconomic headwinds, crises, events and changes in a particular practice, industry or country. FCN reported that its Corporate Finance, Technology and Forensic and Litigation Consulting segments' revenues increased 8.5%, 18.4% and 4.1% year over year, respectively, in the second quarter of 2026. Banking on this recent growth, management reaffirmed its 2026 revenue guidance of $3.94-$4.10 billion.

Solid Liquidity: The company continues to maintain robust liquidity. FCN held current assets of $1.59 billion against current liabilities of $782.4 million at the end of the second quarter of 2026. The company’s operating cash flow rose more than 100% year over year during the second quarter of 2026. This performance is a positive indicator for investors as it signals effective coverage of short-term obligations.

Buybacks Create Shareholder Value: Over the years, the company has demonstrated its strong commitment to its shareholders. In 2023, 2024 and 2025, it repurchased shares worth $21 million, $10.2 million and $858.7 million, respectively. This initiative instills investor confidence. This consistency underscores its dedication to creating long-term value for investors.

Watch Out for These Risks to FCN StockProfitability Faces Cost Pressure: During 2025, FTI Consulting witnessed a 14.5% year-over-year jump in operating expenses, an acceleration from a 7.7% year-over-year increase in 2024. This substantial rise has been driven by year-over-year growth in direct costs of revenues and special charges. During the second quarter of 2026, the company reported that its adjusted EBITDA fell 6.4%, while net income declined 19.4% year over year, due to higher direct costs and selling, general and administrative expenses in senior talent and supporting teams across segments and higher compensation, travel and entertainment and legal costs.

Absence of Dividend: FCN has never declared a dividend and currently does not plan to pay out cash dividends on common stock, leaving investors to rely solely on price appreciation, which is not guaranteed. This makes the stock unattractive to income-seeking investors.

FTI Consulting has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Stocks to ConsiderA couple of better-ranked stocks in the broader Business Services sector are Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. (BFAM - Free Report) and CBIZ, Inc. (CBZ - Free Report) .

Bright Horizons Family Solutions carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present. It has a long-term earnings growth expectation of 13.9%.

BFAM delivered a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 7.6%, on average.

CBIZ also has a Zacks Rank of 2 at present. It has a long-term earnings growth expectation of 11.6%.

CBZ beat earnings estimates in three of the last four quarters and missed once, with an average earnings surprise of 8.9%.

Key Takeaways FTI Consulting spent $390.9 million repurchasing 2.59 million shares in the second quarter of 2026.FCN's diluted share count fell to 29 million, helping adjusted EPS rise 1.4% despite lower net income.FCN's net debt climbed to $856.3 million, while second-quarter interest expense more than doubled. FTI Consulting, Inc. (FCN - Free Report) spent $390.9 million repurchasing 2.59 million shares in the second quarter of 2026, extending a capital-return program that has materially reduced its share count.

The trade-off is becoming more important. Lower shares outstanding supported per-share earnings, but net debt climbed sharply as repurchases absorbed substantial capital.

FCN's Q2 Buyback Was MaterialThe second-quarter purchase followed $126.8 million of repurchases in the first quarter and $858.7 million during 2025. Management said the latest purchases reflected its assessment of long-term value and available balance-sheet capacity while continuing to fund talent investments.

The scale stands out among consulting peers. Huron Consulting Group Inc. (HURN - Free Report) repurchased $53.1 million of stock in the second quarter, bringing its first-half 2026 repurchases to $208.6 million.

FTI Consulting's Share Count Fell SharplyFCN's weighted-average diluted shares fell to 29.0 million in the second quarter from 33.6 million a year earlier. The reduction helped offset weaker absolute profitability on a per-share basis.

Adjusted earnings rose 1.4% year over year to $2.16 per share even as net income declined 19.4% to $57.8 million. Fewer outstanding shares and a lower effective tax rate helped protect per-share results.

FCN's Debt Load Rose With RepurchasesNet debt reached $856.3 million at June 30, 2026, up from $317.2 million a year earlier. Total debt stood at about $1.02 billion, versus $470 million at June 30, 2025.

The higher borrowing burden makes future capital allocation more consequential. Second-quarter interest expense increased to $11.6 million from $5.3 million a year earlier, adding another cost to consider as FCN balances repurchases with operating investments.

FTI Consulting Still Has Liquidity CapacityLiquidity remains substantial. Current assets totaled $1.59 billion at quarter-end compared with current liabilities of $782.4 million, while second-quarter operating cash flow increased to $152.3 million from $55.7 million a year earlier.

FTI Consulting also increased its revolving credit line from $900 million to as much as $1.5 billion. The existing $300 million incremental term loan remained outstanding under the amended credit agreement.

FCN Has More Buyback Capacity AheadThe board added $370 million to the repurchase authorization in June 2026, leaving about $344 million available at quarter-end. Further purchases could keep reducing the share count, but the pace will matter given the higher debt balance.

CRA International Inc. (CRAI - Free Report) offers a different capital-return mix. CRA returned $31.4 million to shareholders in its fiscal second quarter, including $27.8 million of share repurchases and $3.6 million of dividend payments, while FCN does not pay a dividend.

FCN's Style Signals Keep the Trade-Off BalancedThe buyback has delivered a clear per-share benefit, but the accompanying rise in leverage keeps the capital-allocation equation balanced. Continued repurchases can reduce shares outstanding, while higher debt and interest expense remain offsets.

FCN currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

FTI Consulting’s VGM Score of A and Value Score of A, along with a Growth Score of B and Momentum Score of B, indicate favorable style characteristics, but the #3 Rank supports a measured stance rather than treating the buyback alone as a decisive near-term signal.

Key Takeaways FTI Consulting's Q2 revenues rose 5.3%, led by growth across Corporate Finance, Technology & other practices.FCN's adjusted EBITDA fell 6.4% as higher direct costs and SG&A expenses outweighed revenue growth.FCN trades at 14.6X forward consensus EPS, well below its five-year median of 21.8X. FTI Consulting, Inc. (FCN - Free Report) is growing across several practices, but that momentum is not flowing cleanly to profitability. Second-quarter 2026 revenues rose 5.3% year over year while adjusted EBITDA declined 6.4%.

That split defines the investment case. A valuation below FCN's historical norm and a favorable earnings outlook offer support, but higher costs and uneven event-driven demand leave limited room for execution missteps.

FCN's Growth Base Is BroadeningCorporate Finance revenues increased 8.5% year over year in the second quarter, Technology advanced 18.4% and Forensic and Litigation Consulting rose 4.1%. Strategic Communications revenues also increased 5.4% excluding pass-through revenues.

The breadth matters because FCN is not relying on one practice for growth. Corporate Finance also grew 13.6% in the first half of 2026, while Technology advanced 11.4%, reinforcing the case for a diversified revenue base.

FTI Consulting's Margins Face a Cost TestAdjusted EBITDA fell to $104.5 million in the second quarter from $111.6 million a year earlier. The adjusted EBITDA margin contracted to 10.5% from 11.8% as higher direct costs and selling, general and administrative expenses outweighed revenue growth.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $230.7 million from $202.2 million, reflecting higher compensation, travel and entertainment and legal expenses. Management now expects 2026 expenses in this category to be roughly $70 million above 2025, versus its earlier expectation of a $60 million increase.

FCN's Valuation Looks Reasonable, Not CheapFCN trades at 14.6X forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate, in line with 14.6X for the Zacks sub-industry. The stock's five-year median is 21.8X, so the current valuation is well below its own historical norm.

                                                                       Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

That discount offers some support, but the near-peer valuation leaves less protection if margins disappoint. Huron Consulting Group Inc. (HURN - Free Report) , another consulting peer, reported 15.7% second-quarter growth in revenues before reimbursable expenses and raised its 2026 guidance.

FTI Consulting's Event-Driven Demand Adds RiskManagement described the restructuring market as softer in the first half of 2026 and said global regulatory scrutiny felt less intense than before. Gaps between major cases in the U.K. and geopolitical disruption in the Middle East added further variability.

CRA International Inc. (CRAI - Free Report) , which operates as Charles River Associates, reported 12.8% fiscal second-quarter revenue growth and raised full-year revenue guidance. That peer strength provides another reference point for consulting demand while FCN continues to manage engagement timing and mix.

FCN's Earnings Outlook Still Has UpsideManagement reaffirmed 2026 revenue guidance of $3.94-$4.10 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 revenues is $3.98 billion, implying about 5% growth from 2025 despite the softer demand pockets and elevated expense base.

The consensus estimate calls for earnings of $9.25 per share in 2026 and $11.05 in 2027. That trajectory points to stronger earnings growth next year if utilization improves and cost pressure moderates.

FCN's Signals Favor Patience Over ChasingThe current setup favors patience. FCN has broad revenue growth and a valuation well below its historical median, but margin compression, higher selling, general and administrative expenses and event-driven demand make the near-term risk-reward less decisive.

The stock carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), which supports a wait-and-see stance rather than an aggressive new position. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

FTI Consulting’s VGM Score of A and Value Score of A, along with a Growth Score of B and Momentum Score of B, indicate favorable underlying style characteristics even as the Zacks Rank remains #3.

Key Takeaways FTI Consulting's adjusted EPS beat estimates as revenues rose 5.3% year over year.Higher direct and SG&A costs cut adjusted EBITDA 6.4% and narrowed the margin to 10.5%.Technology revenues climbed 18.4% y/y, while 2026 revenue guidance stayed at $3.94-$4.10 billion. FTI Consulting, Inc. (FCN - Free Report) reported second-quarter 2026 results with adjusted earnings of $2.16 per share, topping the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.09 by 3.4%. Earnings increased 1.4% year over year, aided by a lower tax rate and fewer outstanding shares, while revenues rose 5.3% year over year.

Lower pass-through revenues partly offset growth in Corporate Finance, Technology and Forensic and Litigation Consulting. Billable headcount increased 3.2%.

However, the results did not impress the market as the stock has declined 4.1% since the earnings release on July 30.

FCN shares have depreciated 6.4% over the past year compared with the industry’s 30.2% decline. The Zacks S&P 500 composite has risen 22.9% over the same time frame.

FCN's Profitability Faces Cost PressureNet income declined 19.4% year over year to $57.8 million. GAAP earnings were $1.99 per share, down 6.6%, and included $0.17 in extraordinary litigation-related expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA fell 6.4% to $104.5 million as higher direct costs and selling, general and administrative expenses more than offset revenue growth. The adjusted EBITDA margin contracted 130 basis points to 10.5%.

Direct costs reflected continued investments in senior talent and supporting teams across Corporate Finance, Forensic and Litigation Consulting and Strategic Communications. Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses increased to $230.7 million from $202.2 million due to higher compensation, travel and entertainment, and legal costs.

FTI Consulting's Corporate Finance Revenues RiseCorporate Finance revenues increased 8.5% year over year to $411.4 million. Higher realized bill rates across transactions, transformation, and turnaround and restructuring services, along with increased transformation demand and higher success fees, supported growth.

Transformation revenues advanced 26%, while transactions revenues increased 10%. Turnaround and restructuring revenues declined 2%, reflecting a softer market, although management said the company continued to gain share in large and complex restructuring matters.

Adjusted segment EBITDA rose 5.3% to $86 million. However, the margin declined to 20.9% from 21.5% as higher compensation, including the impact of a 7.8% rise in billable headcount and increased SG&A expenses, partly offset revenue gains.

FCN's Technology Segment Delivers Strong GrowthTechnology revenues increased 18.4% to $99 million, driven by stronger demand for merger-related second-request services. This was partly offset by lower demand for investigations services.

Adjusted segment EBITDA jumped 71.3% to $9.1 million, while the margin expanded to 9.1% from 6.3%. Higher revenues more than offset increased compensation, including higher as-needed consultant costs, and SG&A expenses.

Forensic and Litigation Consulting revenues grew 4.1% to $194.3 million. Higher realized bill rates and demand for risk and investigations services offset weaker demand for dispute advisory services. Adjusted segment EBITDA edged up 0.5% to $31.4 million.

FTI Consulting's Economic Business Improves SequentiallyEconomic Consulting revenues declined 1.5% year over year to $188.8 million. Lower demand for non-merger & acquisitions (M&A)-related antitrust and international arbitration services was partly offset by stronger M&A-related antitrust demand and higher realized bill rates in financial economics.

The segment improved sharply compared with the first quarter, with revenues rising 7.5% sequentially. Adjusted segment EBITDA improved to $8.8 million from a loss of $5.9 million, reflecting higher revenues and lower compensation expenses.

Strategic Communications revenues decreased 2.6% to $100 million due to a $7.4 million decline in pass-through revenues. Excluding pass-through revenues, sales increased 5.4%, driven primarily by higher demand for corporate reputation services.

FCN Generates Strong Quarterly Cash FlowNet cash provided by operating activities increased to $152.3 million from $55.7 million a year earlier. Free cash flow totaled $141 million, compared with $38.3 million in the prior-year quarter.

FTI Consulting repurchased 2.6 million shares at an average price of $150.84, spending $390.9 million. The company had approximately $344 million remaining under its repurchase authorization at quarter-end.

Cash and cash equivalents were $163.7 million as of June 30, 2026, compared with $198.3 million at the end of the preceding quarter. Total debt reached $1.02 billion, primarily reflecting capital deployed for share repurchases.

FTI Consulting Reaffirms Revenue GuidanceThe company reaffirmed its 2026 revenue guidance of $3.94-$4.10 billion, with the midpoint of $4.02 billion being higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.98 billion. It lowered GAAP earnings guidance to $8.70-$9.30 per share from $8.90-$9.60, reflecting extraordinary litigation-related expenses.

Adjusted earnings are projected between $9.10 and $9.70 per share, with the midpoint of $9.40 per share being higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $9.25 per share. Management expects Economic Consulting to generate year-over-year revenues and adjusted segment EBITDA growth during the second half.

The effective tax rate is expected to be between 21% and 23%, down from the previous 22-24% range. SG&A expenses are projected to be roughly $70 million higher than in 2025, compared with the earlier expectation of a $60 million increase.

Currently, FTI Consulting carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Recent Earnings SnapshotsTrane Technologies plc (TT - Free Report) reported impressive second-quarter 2026 results.

TT’s total revenues of $6.35 billion surpassed the consensus mark by 2.9% and increased 6.4% year over year.

Record Second Quarter 2026 Revenues of $993.5 Million, Up 5.3% Compared to $943.7 Million in Prior Year QuarterSecond Quarter 2026 EPS of $1.99 and Adjusted EPS of $2.16, Compared to EPS and Adjusted EPS of $2.13 in Prior Year QuarterCompany Reaffirms Revenue Guidance, Updates EPS Guidance Range to Between $8.70 and $9.30 and Introduces Adjusted EPS Guidance Range of Between $9.10 and $9.70 WASHINGTON, July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN) today released financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Second quarter 2026 record revenues of $993.5 million increased $49.8 million, or 5.3%, compared to revenues of $943.7 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by revenue growth in the Corporate Finance, Technology and Forensic and Litigation Consulting segments, which was partially offset by a $9.2 million decline in pass-through revenues. Net income of $57.8 million compared to $71.7 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in net income was primarily due to higher direct costs, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and interest expense, which was partially offset by the increase in revenues and a lower income tax provision. Adjusted EBITDA of $104.5 million, or 10.5% of revenues, compared to $111.6 million, or 11.8% of revenues, in the prior year quarter. Second quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA excludes $6.6 million of Extraordinary Litigation-Related Expenses.1 Second quarter 2026 EPS of $1.99 compared to $2.13 in the prior year quarter. Second quarter 2026 EPS included the aforementioned Extraordinary Litigation-Related Expenses, which reduced EPS by $0.17. Second quarter Adjusted EPS of $2.16 compared to $2.13 in the prior year quarter.

Steven H. Gunby, CEO and Chairman of FTI Consulting, commented, “Our performance this quarter demonstrates, once again, the underlying power of this institution and the resilience created by our sustained, multiyear investments in great talent. As clients face ever more complicated and disrupted environments, the depth and breadth of our capabilities across our global platform are increasingly relevant. Though the event-driven nature of our business means we will always have zigs and zags someplace around the world, we continue to feel confident and excited about our multiyear trajectory.”

Cash Position and Capital Allocation

Net cash provided by operating activities of $152.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 compared to $55.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The year-over-year increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher cash collections and a decrease in forgivable loan issuances and income tax payments, which was partially offset by an increase in operating expense and compensation payments.

On June 3, 2026, FTI Consulting’s Board of Directors authorized the additional amount of $370.0 million to repurchase its outstanding shares of common stock under its stock repurchase program. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased 2,591,133 shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $150.84 for a total cost of $390.9 million. As of June 30, 2026, approximately $344.0 million remained available for common stock repurchases under the Company’s stock repurchase program.

Cash and cash equivalents of $163.7 million at June 30, 2026 compared to $152.8 million at June 30, 2025 and $198.3 million at March 31, 2026. Total debt, net of cash, of $856.3 million at June 30, 2026 compared to $317.2 million at June 30, 2025 and $556.7 million at March 31, 2026. The sequential increase in total debt, net of cash, was primarily due to share repurchases.

Second Quarter 2026 Segment Results

Corporate Finance
Revenues in the Corporate Finance segment increased $32.2 million, or 8.5%, to $411.4 million in the quarter compared to $379.2 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily due to higher realized bill rates for transactions, transformation and turnaround & restructuring services, an increase in demand for transformation services, and higher success fees, which was partially offset by lower demand for turnaround & restructuring services. Segment operating income of $82.5 million compared to $78.1 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $86.0 million, or 20.9% of segment revenues, compared to $81.7 million, or 21.5% 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 7.8% increase in billable headcount, and higher SG&A expenses.

Forensic and Litigation Consulting
Revenues in the Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment increased $7.7 million, or 4.1%, to $194.3 million in the quarter compared to $186.5 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily due to higher realized bill rates and demand for risk & investigations services, which was partially offset by lower demand for dispute advisory services. Segment operating income of $29.2 million compared to $29.1 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $31.4 million, or 16.1% of segment revenues, compared to $31.2 million, or 16.7% of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter. The increase in Adjusted Segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher revenues, which was nearly offset by an increase in compensation, which includes the impact of a 3.0% increase in billable headcount, and higher SG&A expenses.

Economic Consulting
Revenues in the Economic Consulting segment decreased $2.8 million, or 1.5%, to $188.8 million in the quarter compared to $191.7 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to lower demand for non-merger and acquisition (“M&A”)-related antitrust and international arbitration services, which was partially offset by higher demand for M&A-related antitrust services and higher realized bill rates for financial economics services. Segment operating income of $7.4 million compared to $12.8 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $8.8 million, or 4.7% of segment revenues, compared to $14.2 million, or 7.4% of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter. The decrease in Adjusted Segment EBITDA was primarily due to lower revenues and higher compensation.

Technology
Revenues in the Technology segment increased $15.4 million, or 18.4%, to $99.0 million in the quarter compared to $83.6 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. Segment operating income of $4.8 million compared to $1.6 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $9.1 million, or 9.1% of segment revenues, compared to $5.3 million, or 6.3% 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 compensation, which includes higher as-needed consultant costs, and higher SG&A expenses.

Strategic Communications
Revenues in the Strategic Communications segment decreased $2.7 million, or 2.6%, to $100.0 million in the quarter compared to $102.7 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to a $7.4 million decline in pass-through revenues. Excluding pass-through revenues, revenues increased $4.7 million, or 5.4%, primarily due to higher demand for corporate reputation services. Segment operating income of $17.4 million compared to $17.5 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted Segment EBITDA of $18.5 million, or 18.5% of segment revenues, compared to $18.5 million, or 18.0% of segment revenues, in the prior year quarter.

2026 Guidance
The Company is reaffirming its full year 2026 revenue guidance range of between $3.940 billion and $4.100 billion. The Company now estimates EPS for full year 2026 will range between $8.70 and $9.30, which compares to the prior range of between $8.90 and $9.60.

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:

Adjusted Segment EBITDAAdjusted EBITDAAdjusted EBITDA MarginAdjusted Net IncomeAdjusted Earnings per Diluted Share We have included the definition of Segment Operating Income, which is a GAAP financial measure, below in order to more fully define the components of certain non-GAAP financial measures in the accompanying analysis of financial information. We define Segment Operating Income as a segment’s share of consolidated operating income. We use Segment Operating Income for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Segment EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted Segment EBITDA as Segment 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 core operating performance and provides an indicator of the segment’s ability to generate cash.

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, losses on early extinguishment of debt and Extraordinary Litigation-Related Expenses (as defined below). We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues. 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. Many of our competitors use alternative measures of operating performance. Non-GAAP financial measures are 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 our non-GAAP financial measures, considered along with corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide management and investors with useful supplemental information.

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, the gain or loss on sale of a business, losses on early extinguishment of debt and Extraordinary Litigation-Related Expenses (as defined below). 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 useful supplemental information on our business operating results, including underlying trends.

“Extraordinary Litigation-Related Expenses” represent expenses related to the Company’s litigation in the case captioned FTI Consulting, Inc. et al., v. Jonathan M. Orszag et al., 8:23-cv-03200-BAH-AAQ (D.Md.) (together with ancillary proceedings, “FTI vs. Orszag, et al”). In May 2026, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (the “Court”) allowed the Company to file a third amended complaint to an existing proceeding against Jonathan Orszag, adding Econic Partners LLC, a competitor of the Company, and Dr. Mark Israel, a former Company employee, as defendants. The third amended complaint also added additional claims, including for theft of Company trade secrets and conspiracy to unlawfully compete. This litigation was originally filed in November 2023 against Mr. Orszag, a former Company employee, to enforce the terms of his employment agreement. As a result of the Court’s allowance of the third amended complaint, in the Company’s judgment, beginning in the second quarter of 2026, FTI vs Orszag, et al became non-recurring and outside of the ordinary course of business based on the following considerations: (i) the magnitude of the proceedings, (ii) the complexity of the proceedings, (iii) the counterparties involved and (iv) the Company’s overall litigation strategy. No non-GAAP financial measures for prior periods presented have been adjusted for litigation expenses related to FTI vs. Orszag, et al because the proceedings did not become extraordinary until the second quarter of 2026.

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 these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

Management is optimistic and banking on the growth trajectory, reaffirming its 2026 revenue guidance of $3.94-$4.10 billion.

Robust Liquidity Position: The company ended 2025 with a current ratio of 1.56, a figure that bodes well with investors as it highlights FCN’s ability to pay off short-term obligations with ease. The company held this performance as it recorded a current ratio of 2.3 during the first quarter of 2026, outpacing the industry average of 1.15. FCN’s liquidity relies on its strong balance sheet position that ended the first quarter of 2026 with a cash chest of $198 million against no current debt.

Shareholder-Friendly Actions: In 2023, 2024 and 2025, the company repurchased shares worth $21 million, $10.2 million and $858.7 million, respectively. This initiative instills investor confidence. We expect investors to have been flattered by FCN repurchasing 787,098 shares during the first quarter of 2026 for $126.8 million. The company’s bottom line moved up to $1.9 from the year-ago quarter’s $1.74 despite lower net income, highlighting the success of its buyback strategy that supported per-share value.

Risks Faced by FTI ConsultingCash Flow Contraction: FCN experienced substantial turbulence in cash flow flexibility during 2025. The company ended 2025 with an operating cash flow of $152.1 million, down from the preceding year’s $395.1 million due to higher forgivable loan issuances, compensation and income tax payments. This drag in the operational cash flow led to a decline in the free cash flow to $93.6 million in 2025 from the preceding year’s $360.2 million.

On a similar note, the company reported a severe cash depletion during 2025, as evidenced by a 59.9% year-over-year drag in cash and cash equivalents.

Bottom-Line Shoulders Cost Pressure: During 2025, FCN experienced a 14.5% year-over-year jump in operating expenses, demonstrating an acceleration from a 7.7% year-over-year increase in 2024. This substantial rise has been primarily caused by $54.7 million year-over-year growth in direct costs of revenues and special charges of $25.3 million in 2025, exceeding growth of three times from the preceding year. This rising cost structure left an imprint on the company’s profitability, as net income declined by $9.2 million or 3.3%, year over year in 2025.

Nil Dividend: FCN has never declared a dividend and currently does not have any plan to pay out cash dividends on common stock. Therefore, the only way for investors to gain is price appreciation, which is not a guaranteed phenomenon. Hence, investors seeking income are expected to refrain from investing in this stock.

Enhanced Flexibility with Revolving Line of Credit Increasing from $900 Million to $1.5 Billion July 01, 2026 07:30 ET  | Source: FTI Consulting, Inc.

WASHINGTON, July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN) today announced that it entered into the third amendment and restatement of its senior unsecured credit facility (the “Third A&R Credit Agreement”), increasing the total available revolving credit facility and extending the maturity, while enhancing overall financial flexibility with improved pricing. The Third A&R Credit Agreement increases the revolving line of credit from $900.0 million to $1.5 billion and extends the maturity date from November 21, 2027, to June 30, 2031. Following the upgrade of FTI Consulting’s credit rating by S&P Global to investment grade in October 2024, the Third A&R Credit Agreement provides more favorable ratings-based pricing terms, and also includes more favorable restricted payment, debt and certain other restrictive covenants, taken as a whole (while also removing certain other restrictive covenants in their entirety) to provide the Company with more financial flexibility than under its previous credit agreement. BofA Securities, Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., PNC Capital Markets LLC and TD Bank N.A. acted as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers. Borrowings under the Third A&R Credit Agreement may be used to finance working capital and for capital expenditures, other general corporate purposes, certain repayments, redemptions and repurchases of indebtedness, and permitted acquisitions and other investments.

Angela Nam, Chief Financial Officer of FTI Consulting, commented, “On behalf of FTI Consulting, I would like to express my appreciation to our existing lenders and new participants for their confidence in FTI Consulting. The increased size, extended maturity and improved pricing strengthen our financial position and provide meaningful flexibility as we remain focused on disciplined capital allocation and delivering long-term value for shareholders.”
