FTI Consulting Inc
Investor Relations

FTI Consulting is a professional services firm that helps clients handle high-stakes business problems. It advises companies, law firms, and other organizations on disputes, investigations, restructuring, turnaround work, valuation, and other situations where financial, legal, and operational issues overlap. Its work is mostly project-based and depends on specialized experts rather than large software or physical products. The firm sells expert advice and hands-on support. Clients hire FTI when they need help during litigation, bankruptcy, fraud investigations, transaction disputes, regulatory matters, or major change efforts inside a business. It makes money by billing for the time and expertise of its consultants, analysts, and specialists, often on a per-project or hourly basis. What makes FTI different is the role it plays in a crisis or a complex event. It is not a general management consultant and not a law firm, but it often works beside both. That gives it a niche in the value chain: it helps clients gather facts, explain financial issues, and manage the business consequences of legal or restructuring problems.

AI Summary
Q1 2026

Revenue: FTI Consulting reported first-quarter revenue of $983.3 million, up 9.5% year over year, with strength in Corporate Finance, Strategic Communications and Technology partly offset by weakness in Economic Consulting.

Outlook: Management kept its full-year 2026 guidance unchanged at revenue of $3.94 billion to $4.1 billion and EPS of $8.90 to $9.60, saying Q1 was solid but the year still has some moving parts.

Margins: Higher compensation, legal expenses and SG&A pressured profitability this quarter, and adjusted EBITDA fell to $96.8 million from $115.2 million a year ago.

Business mix: Corporate Finance and Strategic Communications had standout quarters, while FLC underperformed expectations and Compass Lexecon remains the main longer-term work-in-progress.

Hiring: The company is still leaning into senior hiring, with 29 SMD and affiliate hires year to date, and expects junior hiring to pick up in the second half to support those additions.

AI impact: Management said AI is already changing workflow and pricing discussions, especially in Technology and parts of StratCom, but the near-term financial impact is still limited and the firm is experimenting with different models.
