CHICAGO, Feb 02, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Navigant (NYSE:NCI) today announced preliminary unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010 along with the Company's business and financial outlook for 2011. Final audited results for the fourth quarter and full year 2010 will be released later this month and could vary from preliminary estimates after the completion of standard Company closing processes and procedures.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2010
"While we are disappointed in 2010's financial results, we do believe that the strategic actions implemented and capital invested over the past 18 months have materially strengthened the Company and will contribute to delivering improved results in the months and years ahead," commented William Goodyear, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "In the fourth quarter we realized the sequential and year over year revenue and headcount growth we had been working toward. Our key energy, healthcare and economics practices delivered strong growth over the course of the year. We are encouraged by continued signs of stabilization in the marketplace and expect that these trends will be favorably reflected in our 2011 financial results."

Fourth Quarter 2010
Navigant's estimated fourth quarter 2010 RBR totaled $162 million, representing both sequential and year over year growth compared to RBR of $153 million for both fourth quarter 2009 and third quarter 2010. Estimated fourth quarter 2010 Adjusted EPS was $0.15, down from $0.18 in fourth quarter 2009 and $0.16 in third quarter 2010 due to increased cost of services resulting from the full impact of new hire and acquisition investments made throughout 2010. Estimated fourth quarter 2010 GAAP EPS of $0.01 was significantly impacted by an intangible assets impairment charge and was down from fourth quarter 2009 GAAP EPS of $0.10.
The Company's fourth quarter 2010 utilization was 74%, an increase of 1% over third quarter 2010 despite the usual fourth quarter seasonal impacts. Due to ongoing senior level recruiting efforts made throughout the calendar year combined with the October 1, 2010 acquisition of EthosPartners, fourth quarter 2010 average billable full time equivalents (FTEs) rose to 1,755, an increase from 1,655 in third quarter 2010 and up from 1,685 in fourth quarter 2009. Fourth quarter 2010 average bill rate (excluding the impact of success fees) was $267, consistent with third quarter 2010 and up from $260 in fourth quarter 2009. Solid cash flow continued in fourth quarter 2010 and Navigant ended the year with approximately $203 million in debt, generally consistent with third quarter 2010 levels.
Full Year 2010
Navigant's estimated full year 2010 RBR totaled $623 million, down slightly from $637 million in 2009. The healthcare, energy and economics practices achieved combined growth of approximately 20% in 2010 while disputes, the fourth core practice area of the Company, stabilized during the second half of the year, bolstered by the addition of new senior practitioners, the acquisition of Daylight Forensic & Advisory on May 14, 2010, and solid demand activity. The Company's full year results also reflected the wind down of several non strategic practice areas and practitioner departures over the prior eighteen month period.
Estimated 2010 Adjusted EPS was $0.61, compared to $0.68 in 2009, while estimated 2010 GAAP EPS was $0.48, up from $0.44 in 2009. Despite the ongoing integration of acquisitions and new practitioners throughout the year, Navigant's 2010 utilization was 74% compared to 75% in 2009. Average bill rate (excluding the impact of success fees) for 2010 was $266, up significantly from $254 in 2009, reflecting the mix of engagements as well as select pricing opportunities. Average 2010 billable headcount was approximately 1,687 FTEs, a decrease of 110 FTEs from the 2009 average, resulting from the wind down of non strategic practice areas, attrition and general staffing alignment decisions made throughout the year.

(2) In first quarter 2010 the Company repositioned certain service offerings within its four reporting segments.Prior year comparative segment data has been restated to be consistent with the current presentation.A metrics summary including data by segment is available at www.navigantconsulting.com/investor_relations.
Navigant's Dispute and Investigative Services segment reported estimated RBR of $64 million for fourth quarter 2010, down slightly from both third quarter 2010 and fourth quarter 2009. Segment results reflected softness in the construction disputes market and actions were taken in fourth quarter 2010 to align staffing with current demand levels. Overall market conditions in the disputes arena continued to stabilize in the fourth quarter, supported by ongoing demand in credit crisis litigation, anti-corruption compliance and investigations, white collar matters and other commercial litigation and arbitrations.
Navigant's Business Consulting Services segment generated estimated RBR of $69 million for fourth quarter 2010, an increase of 18% over third quarter 2010 and an increase of 17% from fourth quarter 2009. The segment's healthcare and energy practices represented 73% of fourth quarter 2010 Business Consulting Services segment revenues, compared to 62% in fourth quarter 2009. Fourth quarter 2010 healthcare results were positively impacted by Navigant's October 1, 2010 acquisition of EthosPartners.
Navigant's International Consulting segment reported estimated RBR of $13 million for fourth quarter 2010, down 4% from third quarter 2010 and down 27% from fourth quarter 2009. The segment was challenged in 2010 by severe reductions in government spending in the United Kingdom, as well as general weakness in the demand for advisory services in the European marketplace. As a result, average billable FTEs for the segment decreased 18% from fourth quarter 2009 to fourth quarter 2010 and additional cost saving measures are being implemented. The Company recorded an estimated $7.3 million pretax non cash impairment charge ($0.10 per share) related to lower valuation of certain intangible assets in its International Consulting segment.
Navigant's Economic Consulting segment generated estimated RBR of $17 million for fourth quarter 2010, consistent with third quarter 2010 and up 46% from fourth quarter 2009. Continued demand for economic consulting, along with contributions from senior economists hired in 2010, is expected to positively impact the segment in 2011.
2011 Outlook
Goodyear commented, "Our 2011 revenues are estimated to be in the range of $715 to $760 million and RBR is expected to be between $650 and $690 million. 2011 Adjusted EBITDA is estimated to be between $95 and $105 million, while Adjusted EPS (excluding the net income impact from other operating costs and severance expense) is expected to range between $0.70 and $0.77 per share. These ranges reflect continued execution of our long term strategy focusing on the key areas of disputes, economics, healthcare and energy, combined with an expectation of stable market conditions in 2011 and the favorable impact of our 2010 investments."

Goodyear will host a conference call to discuss the Company's preliminary unaudited fourth quarter and full year 2010 financial results and 2011 business and financial outlook at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, February 2, 2011.

Non-GAAP Financial Information |
|||||||||||||||||
|
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are included in this press release. During 2009, the Company incurred significant severance expense as staffing levels were adjusted to market demand and Navigant executed its strategic refresh initiative involving the redeployment of certain resources. The Company also continues to be impacted by office consolidation costs and benefits due to its real estate initiatives including the impact of closing certain offices and changes in market conditions associated with expected sublease proceeds. During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded a non recurring benefit from a tax election related to certain of its foreign entities. During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded an impairment on its intangible assets relating to its International Consulting segment. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income excludes the impact of other operating costs (benefit) and severance, and adjusted earnings per share excludes the net income impact of other operating costs (benefit), severance and the non recurring benefit from a tax election related to certain of the Company's foreign entities in all periods presented. Severance and other operating costs (benefit) are not considered to be non recurring, infrequent or unusual to the Company's business, however, management believes providing investors with this information gives additional insights into Navigant's operating performance. Although the intangible asset impairment previously discussed has not historically been as frequent as severance and office consolidation costs, we have substantial intangible assets which could become impaired in the future. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating Navigant's operations, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for, or superior to, any measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. |

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is not a measure of financial performance under (GAAP). The Company believes EBITDA provides useful supplemental information for investors to evaluate financial performance. This data is also used by the Company for assessment of its operating and financial results, in addition to operating income, net income and other GAAP measures. Management believes EBITDA is a useful indicator of the Company's financial and operating performance and its ability to generate cash flows from operations that are available for interest, debt service, taxes and capital expenditures. Investors should recognize that EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income excludes the impact of other operating costs (benefit) and severance as discussed above. This measure should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for, or superior to, any measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. |
