Huron Consulting Group Inc
Investor Relations

Huron Consulting Group helps organizations solve business and operational problems. It advises clients on strategy, finance, technology, and operations, and it also takes on hands-on work such as improving billing, revenue cycle processes, data systems, and back-office functions. Its main customers are hospitals and health systems, colleges and universities, and companies in regulated or complex industries that need outside help running critical parts of the business. The company makes money by charging fees for consulting projects and by selling managed services, where Huron runs certain processes for a client over time. In practice, that means it can be paid for advice, implementation work, and ongoing support rather than for physical products. This gives Huron a mix of one-time project revenue and steadier recurring service revenue. What makes Huron different is that it sits between pure strategy consulting and outsourced operations. It does not just recommend changes; it often helps carry them out and manage them day to day. That role is especially useful in healthcare and higher education, where customers face complex rules, legacy systems, and pressure to improve performance without disrupting essential services.

AI Summary
Q1 2026

Strong start: Huron said first-quarter 2026 revenue before reimbursable expenses rose 12.1% year over year to $443.7 million, with growth across all three segments and record Healthcare performance.

Guidance held: Management affirmed full-year 2026 guidance for RBR, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EPS, and free cash flow, saying the first quarter and the pipeline/backlog support the outlook.

Healthcare led: Healthcare posted record RBR of $225.2 million, up 13.5%, with strong demand in performance improvement, revenue cycle, managed services, financial advisory, and strategy.

AI push: The company emphasized AI as a major growth driver and said it has substantially increased investment in AI capabilities, while relying mostly on organic buildout rather than acquisitions.

Capital returns: Huron repurchased about 1.1 million shares for $155.5 million in the quarter and said buybacks will likely slow later in the year as it works toward lower leverage.

Demand backdrop: Management described strong bookings, high backlog coverage, and near-record pipeline levels, while noting mixed trends by segment capability, especially timing-related softness in some digital work.
