Cautionary Note About Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which involve uncertainties and risks. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues, future results and performance, expectations, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions and other matters, business trends and other information that is not historical, including statements regarding estimates of our medium-term growth targets or other future financial results. When used in this presentation, words such as “anticipates,” “aspirational,” “estimates,” “expects,” “goals,” “intends,” “believes,” “forecasts,” “targets,” “objectives” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, estimates of our future financial results, are based upon our expectations at the time we make them and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs, projections and growth targets are expressed in good faith, and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates or growth targets will be achieved, and the Company’s actual results may differ materially from our expectations, beliefs, estimates and growth targets. The Company has experienced fluctuating revenues, operating income and cash flow in prior periods and expects that this will occur from time to time in the future. Other factors that could cause such differences include declines in demand for, or changes in, the mix of services and products that we offer, the mix of the geographic locations where our clients are located or where services are performed, adverse financial, real estate or other market and general economic conditions, which could impact each of our segments differently, the pace and timing of the consummation and integration of past and future acquisitions, the Company’s ability to realize cost savings and efficiencies, competitive and general economic conditions, retention of staff and clients and other risks described under the heading “Item 1A Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K filed with the SEC and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC, including the risks set forth under “Risks Related to Our Reportable Segments” and “Risks Related to Our Operations.” We are under no duty to update any of the forward looking statements to conform such statements to actual results or events and do not intend to do so.

Medium–Term Initiatives

Reinforce core positions e.g., TMT, retail, company-side, interim management

Drive organic growth in new/adjacent businesses where we have the right to win, e.g., Office of the CFO, carve out

Drive overseas bets to fruition e.g., EMEA transaction advisory services, EMEA Tax

Focus on profitability enhancements e.g., geographic rationalization, cost control, engagement profitability improvements

2014 Form 10–K Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Revenues increased $8.6 million, or 2.2%, to $391.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $382.5 million prior year.

Acquisition related revenues contributed $4.4 million, or 1.1%, compared to the same prior year period.

Revenues increased organically $4.2 million, or 1.1%, primarily due higher volume in in our EMEA practice and growth in non-distressed engagements in North America, partially offset by continued slowdown in our global bankruptcy and restructuring practices.

Gross profit decreased $9.9 million, or 7.2%, to $127.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $137.4 million prior year. Gross profit margin decreased to 32.6% for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to 35.9% for the same prior year period.

The decrease in gross profit margin was due to a shift in the mix of engagements to lower margin non-distressed work, continued investments in our European transaction advisory practice, and higher performance-based compensation expense.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased $11.7 million, or 17.4%, to $55.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $67.2 million for the same prior year period.

Acquisition-related revenues contributed $11.1 million, or 2.6% compared to the same prior year period.

Gross profit margin increased 0.8 percentage points to 36.6% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 from 35.9% for the same prior year period.

The increase in gross profit margin is related to higher utilization in our construction solutions, data analytics, disputes and investigations practices; partially offset by increased performance based compensation and continued investment in the health solutions practice.

Continue to expand cross-segment collaboration

2014 Form 10–K Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Revenues increased $3.7 million, or 0.8%, to $451.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $447.4 million for the same prior year period.

Acquisition-related revenues contributed $3.3 million, or 0.7%, compared to the same prior year period.

Revenues increased organically $0.4 million, or 0.1%, which includes a 0.6% increase from the estimated positive impact of foreign currency translation due to lower demand and lower realization in our antitrust practice, partially offset by higher demand in our M&A services.

Gross profit decreased $25.5 million, or 17.3%, to $121.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $147.1 million prior year. Gross profit margin decreased to

27.0% for the year ended December 31, 2014 from 32.9% for the same prior year period.

The decrease in gross profit margin was the result of increased compensation expense related to employment contract extensions of certain key senior client-service professionals and an accrual for employee state tax equalization obligations, partially offset by higher realized bill rates. .

Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased $32.9 million, or 35.7%, to $59.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $92.2 million for the same prior year period.

Revenue increased $38.6 million, or 19.1%, to $241.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $202.7 million in the prior year

Continued demand on complex global investigations and financial services industry investigations and M&A Second Requests, higher Ringtail SaaS sales; partially offset by price reductions in services and lower licensing sales.

The decrease in gross profit margin was due to the increased mix of certain lower margin services as a percent of total revenue and due to price reductions in other services.

2014 Form 10–K Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Revenues increased $3.1 million, or 1.7%, to $189.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $186.2 million for the prior year period.

Acquisition-related revenues contributed $1.8 million, or 1.0%, compared to the same prior year period.

The remaining growth of $1.3 million included 0.8% in estimated positive impact of foreign currency translation.

Excluding the foreign currency translation gains, revenue declined organically by $0.2 million due to a decline in pass-through revenues, partially offset by growth in retainer-based revenue in our EMEA region and increased project revenue in North America and Asia Pacific.

Gross profit increased $4.9 million, or 7.6%, to $69.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $64.5 million for the same prior year period. Gross profit margin increased to 36.7% for the year ended December 31, 2014 from 34.7% for the same prior year period

Gross profit margin increase was primarily due to improved mix involving higher margin engagements and targeted headcount reductions as part of the segment’s strategy to reduce costs, partially offset by higher bonus expense due to improved business performance Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased $3.9 million, or 20.5%, to $22.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $18.7 million for the same prior year period.

We calculate DSO at the end of each reporting period by dividing net accounts receivable reduced by billings in excess of services provided, by revenue for the quarter, adjusted for changes in foreign exchange rates. We multiply the result by the number of days in the quarter.

End Notes: FTI Consulting Non-GAAP Data Reconciliations

Beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the definitions of each of these non-GAAP measures have been updated to exclude the impact of changes in the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities. Prior period amounts included herein have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share (“Adjusted EPS”) as Net Income and Earnings Per Diluted Share, respectively, excluding the impact of remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges, goodwill impairment charges 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 this measure, when considered together with our GAAP financial results, provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of our business operating results, including underlying trends, by excluding the effects of remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges, goodwill impairment charges and losses on early extinguishment of debt.

We define Segment Operating Income (loss) as a segment’s share of consolidated operating income (loss). We define Total Segment Operating Income (loss) as the total of Segment Operating Income (loss) for all segments, which excludes unallocated corporate expenses. We use Segment Operating Income (loss) for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Segment EBITDA (loss). We define Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated net income (loss) 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 and losses on early extinguishment of debt. We define Adjusted Segment EBITDA as a segment’s share of consolidated operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges and goodwill impairment charges. We define Total Adjusted Segment EBITDA as the total of Adjusted Segment EBITDA for all segments, which excludes unallocated corporate expenses. We define Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin as Adjusted Segment EBITDA as a percentage of a segment’s share of revenue. We use Adjusted Segment EBITDA to internally evaluate the financial performance of our segments because we believe it is a useful supplemental measure which reflects current core operating performance and provides an indicator of the segment’s ability to generate cash. We also believe that these measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial results, provide management and investors with a more complete understanding of our operating results, including underlying trends, by excluding the effects of remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges, and goodwill impairment charges. 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 measures, considered along with corresponding GAAP measures, provide management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating results to the operating results of other companies.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable to 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 (loss).
