FTI Consulting reports Q3 EPS $1.85, consensus $2.06

Reports Q3 revenue $926M, consensus $946.2M. Steven Gunby, CEO, commented, “Though this is the third highest quarterly revenues we’ve ever had, the revenue this quarter fell below last quarter and our expectations. This shortfall was driven by a combination of market conditions and a few idiosyncratic factors. As we’ve talked about a number of times, though there are lots of factors that can cause quarterly variations in our business, long-term success in professional services is driven almost entirely by strengthening your positions around the world and your ability to attract, retain and develop A+ talent. Our ongoing progress in these areas continues to leave me excited about the powerful multiyear growth trajectory this company is on.”
