Introduces 2026 Guidance

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FTI Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: FCN) today released financial results for the full year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025.

For the full year 2025, revenues of $3.789 billion increased $90.2 million, or 2.4%, compared to revenues of $3.699 billion in the prior year. The increase was driven by revenue growth in the Corporate Finance, Forensic and Litigation Consulting and Strategic Communications segments, which was partially offset by revenue declines in the Economic Consulting and Technology segments. Net income of $270.9 million compared to $280.1 million in the prior year. The decrease in net income was primarily due to higher direct costs, which included an increase in variable compensation and forgivable loan amortization, as well as an increase in income taxes, special charges and interest expense, which more than offset the increase in revenues and the decrease in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. Adjusted EBITDA of $463.6 million, or 12.2% of revenues, compared to $403.7 million, or 10.9% of revenues, in the prior year.

Full year 2025 earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) of $8.24 compared to $7.81 in the prior year. Full year 2025 EPS included a $25.3 million special charge related to severance and other employee-related costs, which reduced EPS by $0.59. Full year 2024 EPS included an $8.2 million special charge related to severance and other employee-related costs, which reduced EPS by $0.18. Full year 2025 Adjusted EPS of $8.83 compared to Adjusted EPS of $7.99 in the prior year.

Steven H. Gunby, CEO and Chairman of FTI Consulting, commented, “We delivered our eleventh year in a row of Adjusted EPS growth and our eighth year in a row of record revenues. We delivered those record results notwithstanding the major headwinds that we were facing in a couple of our businesses during the year, which underscores, once again, the power and resilience of a business committed to investing in great talent and helping clients with their most significant challenges and opportunities.”

Cash Position and Capital Allocation

Net cash provided by operating activities of $152.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $395.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The year-over-year decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher forgivable loan issuances, compensation and income tax payments, which was partially offset by an increase in cash collections.

Cash and cash equivalents of $265.1 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $660.5 million at December 31, 2024 and $146.0 million at September 30, 2025. Total debt, net of cash, of $99.9 million at December 31, 2025 compared to $(660.5) million at December 31, 2024 and $364.0 million at September 30, 2025. The sequential decrease in total debt, net of cash, was primarily due to net cash provided by operating activities.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 519,944 shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $160.58 for a total cost of $83.5 million. In full year 2025, the Company repurchased 5,264,916 shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $163.07 for a total cost of $858.6 million. As of December 31, 2025, approximately $491.8 million remained available for common stock repurchases under the Company’s stock repurchase program.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Results

Excluding the estimated positive impact of FX, revenues increased $81.5 million, or 9.1%, compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was driven by revenue growth in the Corporate Finance, Forensic and Litigation Consulting, Strategic Communications and Technology segments, which was partially offset by revenue declines in the Economic Consulting segment. Net income of $54.5 million compared to $49.7 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in net income was primarily due to higher revenues, which was partially offset by an increase in direct costs, which includes higher variable compensation and forgivable loan amortization, as well as an increase in income taxes, interest expense and SG&A expenses compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in income taxes was primarily driven by $11.8 million of valuation allowance expenses against certain prior year foreign deferred tax assets. Adjusted EBITDA of $106.2 million, or 10.7% of revenues, compared to $73.7 million, or 8.2% of revenues, 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:

Adjusted Segment EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share

We have included the definition of Segment Operating Income (Loss), 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 (Loss) as a segment’s share of consolidated operating income. We use Segment Operating Income (Loss) for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Segment EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted Segment EBITDA as Segment Operating Income (Loss) 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 and losses on early extinguishment of debt. 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. 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 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 and losses on early extinguishment of debt. 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.

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.
