- Second Quarter 2026 EPS of $1.99 and Adjusted EPS of $2.16, Compared to EPS and Adjusted EPS of $2.13 in Prior Year Quarter

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. The Company estimates Adjusted EPS will range between $9.10 and $9.70. The variance between EPS and Adjusted EPS guidance for full year 2026 includes an estimated $0.40 of Extraordinary Litigation-Related Expenses.

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, 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.
