1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of FTI Consulting, Inc., including its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “FTI Consulting”), presented herein, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Some of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In management’s opinion, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All adjustments made were normal recurring accruals. The fair values of all financial instruments are estimated to be equal to their carrying values as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Results of operations for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC.

Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

2. New Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands annual disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and requires annual disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the United States (“U.S.”) (federal, state and local) and foreign jurisdictions. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional, disaggregated disclosure around certain income statement expense line items. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share adjusts basic earnings per common share for the effects of potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares include the dilutive effects of shares issuable upon exercise or vesting of outstanding awards under our equity compensation plans, including stock options and share-based awards (restricted share awards, restricted stock units and performance stock units), each using the treasury stock method.

4. Revenues

We generate the majority of our revenues by providing consulting services to our clients. Revenues are recognized when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring services promised in a contract to a customer and in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those services. Performance obligations in our contracts represent distinct or separate services that we provide to our customers. If, at the outset of an arrangement, we determine that a contract with enforceable rights and obligations does not exist, revenues are deferred until all criteria for an enforceable contract are met.

Revenues recognized during the current period may include revenues from performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods. This primarily occurs when the estimated transaction price has changed based on our current probability assessment over whether the agreed-upon outcome for our performance-based and contingent arrangements will be achieved. The aggregate amount of revenues recognized related to a change in the transaction price in the current period, which related to performance obligations satisfied or partially satisfied in a prior period, was $10.8 million and $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Unfulfilled performance obligations primarily consist of fees not yet recognized on certain fixed-fee, performance-based and contingent arrangements. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the remaining contract transaction price allocated to unfulfilled performance obligations was $28.0 million and $25.5 million, respectively. We expect to recognize the majority of the related revenues over the next 24 months. We elected to utilize the optional exemption to exclude from this disclosure fixed-fee and performance-based and contingent arrangements with an original expected duration of one year or less and to exclude our time and expense arrangements for which revenues are recognized using the right-to-invoice practical expedient.

Contract assets are defined as assets for which we have recorded revenues but are not yet entitled to receive our fees because certain events, such as completion of the measurement period or client approval, must occur. The contract asset balance was immaterial as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Contract liabilities are defined as liabilities incurred when we have received consideration but have not yet performed the agreed-upon services. This may occur when clients pay fees before work begins. The contract liability balance was immaterial as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

5. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Expected Credit Losses

The following table summarizes the components of “Accounts receivable, net” as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

The following table summarizes the total provision for expected credit losses and write-offs:

Our provision for expected credit losses includes recoveries, direct write-offs and charges to other accounts. Billed accounts receivables are written off when the potential for recovery is considered remote.

6. Special Charges

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded special charges of $25.3 million related to targeted headcount reductions in each segment and region where we realigned our workforce with current business demand for our consulting services. These targeted headcount reductions concluded as of March 31, 2025. A portion of the special charges was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the remaining amounts will be paid in cash in the next 12 months. Liabilities related to the special charges were $16.7 million and $6.1 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These amounts are included in “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets were as follows:

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. We recorded amortization expense of $1.0 million during each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

8. Debt

Long-term debt outstanding under our senior unsecured bank revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) was $160.0 million as of March 31, 2025 and there was no current portion. There was no debt outstanding as of December 31, 2024.

In November 2022, we entered into the second amended and restated credit agreement governing our Credit Facility to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity to November 21, 2027, (ii) increase the revolving line of credit limit from $550.0 million to $900.0 million, and (iii) increase the incremental facility from $150.0 million to a maximum of $300.0 million, subject to certain conditions, and incurred an additional $4.0 million of debt issuance costs. The Credit Facility was originally guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries and was originally secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of FTI Consulting and such domestic subsidiaries. In October 2024, the Company’s credit rating was upgraded to investment grade by S&P Global. The upgraded rating triggered a Ratings Collateral Release Date under, and as defined in, the Credit Facility. Upon the occurrence of the Ratings Collateral Release Date, the security interests and liens previously granted to the lenders were automatically terminated and released, and the Credit Facility is now unsecured, with only unsecured guarantees being provided by substantially all of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, in the case of: (i) U.S. dollars (“USD”), at our option, Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, (ii) euros, Euro

Interbank Offered Rate, (iii) British pounds, Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate, (iv) Australian dollars, Bank Bill Swap Reference Bid Rate, (v) Canadian dollars, Canadian Dollar Offered Rate, (vi) Swiss francs, Swiss Average Rate Overnight, and (vii) Japanese yen, Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin that will fluctuate between 1.25% per annum and 2.00% per annum based upon the Company’s Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) at such time or, in the case of USD borrowings, an alternative base rate plus an applicable margin that will fluctuate between 0.25% per annum and 1.00% per annum based upon the Company’s Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio at such time. The alternative base rate is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (1) the federal funds rate plus the sum of 50 basis points, (2) the rate of interest in effect for such day as the prime rate announced by Bank of America, and (3) the one-month Term SOFR plus 100 basis points.

Under the Credit Facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee rate that fluctuates between 0.20% and 0.35% per annum and a letter of credit fee rate that fluctuates between 1.25% and 2.00% per annum, in each case, based upon the Company’s Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio.

9. Leases

10. Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In management’s opinion, we believe we have adequate legal defenses and/or insurance coverage with respect to the eventuality of such actions. We are not aware of any asserted or unasserted legal proceedings or claims that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or our results of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded the impact of proceeds received from legal settlements. These amounts are included as a gain in “Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was contingently liable under bank guarantees issued in favor of third parties that totaled $13.1 million and $10.9 million, respectively. These bank guarantees primarily support bid and performance obligations and operating leases for office space. The amounts are guaranteed under guarantee facilities totaling $46.8 million and $42.7 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company had $33.7 million and $31.8 million available under the guarantee facilities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These bank guarantees are issued separate from our Credit Facility and, as a result, do not affect available borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility.

11. Share-Based Compensation

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we granted equity awards of 33,243 restricted shares,64,702 restricted stock units and 105,632 performance stock units under the FTI Consulting, Inc. 2017 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, our employee equity compensation plan. Our performance stock units are presented at the maximum potential payout percentage of 150% of target shares granted. These awards are recorded as equity on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2025,6,355 shares of restricted stock and 3,867 restricted stock units were forfeited prior to the completion of the applicable vesting requirements. Additionally,31,333 performance stock units were forfeited during the three months ended March 31, 2025, including award targets that were not achieved.

Total share-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures, is detailed in the following table:

12. Stockholders’ Equity

2016 Stock Repurchase Program

On June 2, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”), which was most recently increased by $400.0 million to an aggregate authorization of $1.3 billion on December 1, 2022. No time limit has been established for the completion of the Repurchase Program, and the Repurchase Program may be suspended, discontinued or replaced by the Board of Directors at any time without prior notice. As of March 31, 2025, we had $264.3 million available under the Repurchase Program to repurchase additional shares of our common stock.

The following table details our stock repurchases under the Repurchase Program:

(1)Excludes excise tax of $1.5 million incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

As we repurchase our common shares, we reduce stated capital on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the $0.01 of par value of the shares repurchased, with the excess purchase price over par value recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. If additional paid-in capital is reduced to zero, we record the remainder of the excess purchase price over par value as a reduction of retained earnings.

Common Stock Outstanding

Common stock outstanding was approximately 34.9 million shares and 35.9 million shares as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Common stock outstanding includes unvested restricted stock awards, which are considered issued and outstanding under the terms of the restricted stock award agreements.

We have considered information that is regularly provided to our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for our segment reporting disclosure. Our CODM assesses the performance and allocates resources to each segment based on revenues and multiple measures of segment profit, including gross profit, which is the measure closest to GAAP reporting principles. Gross profit is defined as revenues less direct costs of revenues. Our CODM is not provided asset information by reportable segment.

The tables below summarize revenues, significant expenses and gross profit by reportable segment:

(1)The significant expense category and amounts align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to the CODM.
