Navigant reported second quarter 2019 revenues and RBR of $223.1 million and $196.6 million respectively, up 21% and 19% compared to the second quarter 2018. The quarter benefited from robust growth in managed services, including strong performance at the Health System Solutions (HSS) venture, which commenced operations in July of 2018, as well as continued strong growth in both Healthcare and Energy consulting. These items were partially offset by lower RBR within the Financial Services Advisory and Compliance (FSAC) segment.

Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations in the second quarter 2019 was $20.9 million, up 19% from the prior year period primarily due to continued strong performance from HSS and solid margin flow through in Healthcare consulting.

Net income from continuing operations attributable to Navigant Consulting, Inc. of $8.6 million, or $0.22 per share, was up $2.5 million compared to the second quarter 2018 as the operating performance discussed above was further aided by favorable net interest costs, lower depreciation and amortization, as well as a lower share count in the current year period. These items were partially offset by higher income attributable to non-controlling interest, net of tax, in the current year period due to the first-year contributions from HSS. Net income attributable to Navigant Consulting, Inc., which includes results from discontinued operations, was down compared to the prior year period reflecting the divestiture of the Company’s former Disputes, Forensics and Legal Technology segment and transaction advisory services practice completed in the third quarter 2018.

Second quarter 2019 Adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $0.29, which includes $0.06 per share of income attributable to non-controlling interest, net of tax, increased $0.11 compared to the second quarter 2018 driven by the items discussed above.

SECOND QUARTER 2019 SEGMENT RESULTS

	For the quarter ended June 30,
*(Dollars in millions, numbers may not foot due to rounding)*	2019			2018			Increase / (Decrease)
RBR
Healthcare	$	127.4		$	91.6		$	35.8
Energy		40.0			36.6			3.4
Financial Services Advisory and Compliance		29.1			37.0			(7.9	)
Total Company	$	196.6		$	165.2		$	31.4
Revenues
Healthcare	$	136.5		$	100.3		$	36.2
Energy		55.5			44.2			11.3
Financial Services Advisory and Compliance		31.1			40.3			(9.2	)
Total Company	$	223.1		$	184.7		$	38.4
Segment Operating Profit
Healthcare	$	40.1		$	27.4		$	12.8
Energy		13.1			12.7			0.5
Financial Services Advisory and Compliance		6.4			13.4			(7.0	)
Total Company	$	59.7		$	53.4		$	6.3
Segment Operating Margin (% of RBR)
Healthcare		31.5	%		29.9	%		1.6	%
Energy		32.8	%		34.6	%		-1.8	%
Financial Services Advisory and Compliance		21.9	%		36.2	%		-14.3	%
Total Company		30.4	%		32.3	%		-1.9	%

Healthcare segment RBR of $127.4 million increased 39% for second quarter 2019 compared to the same prior year period driven by improved demand for Healthcare consulting services and stronger-than-expected contributions from HSS. Segment operating profit of $40.1 million increased $12.8 million in second quarter 2019 compared to second quarter 2018 driven by the first-year contributions from HSS, as well as strong demand in Healthcare consulting supporting increased headcount and driving improved consulting utilization.

Energy segment RBR for second quarter 2019 of $40.0 million increased 9% compared to second quarter 2018, driven by continued robust demand for Energy expertise from both commercial and government clients, particularly in North America. Segment operating profit of $13.1 million for the quarter was up 3% compared to the second quarter 2018 as revenue growth in North America was offset by muted demand for research and subscription services, as well as softer demand for consulting services in Europe.

Financial Services Advisory and Compliance segment RBR for the second quarter 2019 finished at $29.1 million, down 21% compared to second quarter 2018 primarily due to the wind-down of a large monitorship engagement coupled with continued softness as segment leadership works to rebuild and convert the sales pipeline. Segment operating profit of $6.4 million decreased $7.0 million compared to the prior year period driven by the aforementioned top-line challenges.

CASH FLOW AND BALANCE SHEET

Second quarter 2019 net cash provided by operating activities, which includes results from discontinued operations, was $13.5 million compared to $53.5 million in the second quarter 2018 driven by lower net income in the current year period due to the contribution of discontinued operations in second quarter 2018, as well as unfavorable working capital in the current year period. Days Sales Outstanding for continuing operations was 72 days as of June 30, 2019, down 1 day compared to March 31, 2019. At the end of the second quarter 2019, the Company’s $350 million credit facility remained undrawn and cash and cash equivalents were $90.6 million.

Navigant continued executing its share buyback program by repurchasing 983 thousand shares of common stock during the second quarter of 2019 at an aggregate cost of $20.8 million and an average price of $21.11 per share.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In August 2018, the Company sold its former Disputes, Forensics and Legal Technology segment and its transaction advisory services practice within the FSAC segment and, as such, the results have been reclassified to discontinued operations to reflect this transaction for all periods presented in this release. In July 2018, the Company commenced operation of HSS with Baptist Health South Florida. Navigant has a 60% financial and controlling interest in the venture and as such fully consolidates its operations. As a result, the Company reports income attributable to non-controlling interests, net of tax in its consolidated statements of comprehensive income as well as non-controlling interest included in its balance sheet.

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 the financial schedules attached to this press release. This information 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.

Navigant has provided guidance regarding Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, both of which exclude the impact of severance expense and other operating costs (benefit), as applicable. Navigant has also provided guidance regarding Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which excludes changes in assets and liabilities and allowance for doubtful accounts receivable less cash payments for property and equipment and deferred acquisition related payments.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share (EPS) Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA – earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization – excluding the impact of severance expense and other operating costs (benefit), as applicable. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share exclude the net income and per share net income impact of severance expense, other operating costs (benefit) and certain tax adjustments, as applicable. While other operating costs (benefit) are generally non-recurring in nature, severance expense and certain other operating costs are not considered to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual to the business. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with enhanced comparability of Navigant’s results of operations across periods. See non-GAAP reconciliations for more details.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is calculated as net cash provided by (used in) operations excluding the change in assets, liabilities and allowance for doubtful accounts less cash payment for property, equipment and deferred acquisition liabilities. Adjusted Free Cash Flow does not represent cash available for spending as it excludes certain contractual obligations such as debt repayment. However, management believes that Adjusted Free Cash Flow provides investors with an indicator of cash available for on-going business operations and long-term value creation. See non-GAAP reconciliations for more details.

CONFERENCE CALL DETAILS

Due to announcement of the Proposed Merger, the Company’s earnings conference call previously scheduled for August 8, 2019 has been canceled.

Footnotes

(1) Per share data may not sum due to rounding.

(2) EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of severance expense and other operating costs (benefit), as applicable. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share exclude net income and per share net income impact of severance expense and other operating costs (benefit) and certain tax adjustments, as applicable. While other operating costs (benefit) are generally non-recurring in nature, severance expense and certain other operating costs are not considered to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual to our business. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with enhanced comparability of Navigant's results of operations across periods.

(3) Income tax impact has been determined based on specific tax jurisdiction.

(4) In 2018, the Company incurred non-recurring legal costs relating to a shareholder proxy contest, as well as non-recurring fees and expenses relating to the divestiture of its former Disputes, Forensics and Legal Technology segment and transaction advisory services practice.

(5) In Q4 2018, the Company settled its 2014 income tax audit with the IRS. The settlement resulted in an incremental tax expense related to the timing of tax deductions on certain executive compensation awards that required employment beyond the year of deduction. Although tax expense also includes adjustments for the 2014-2017 tax years, the adjustment is primarily driven by the deductions taken on our 2014 income tax return. After reaching this settlement in Q4 2018, the Company restated the Q1-Q3 2018 Adjusted EPS figures to reflect amounts accrued in those periods for this settlement. The adjustment includes related interest cost.

(6) Adjusted Free Cash Flow is calculated as net cash provided from operations excluding changes in assets and liabilities and allowance for doubtful accounts receivable less cash payments for property and equipment and deferred acquisition related payments. Adjusted Free Cash Flow does not represent discretionary cash available for spending as it excludes certain contractual obligations such as debt repayment. However, management believes that it provides investors with an indicator of cash flows available for on-going business operations and long-term value creation.

(7) Leverage ratio is calculated as bank debt at the end of the period divided by Adjusted EBITDA (for continuing and discontinued operations) for the prior twelve-month period. Management believes that leverage ratio provides investors with an indicator of the cash flows available to repay the Company's debt obligations.

(8) Organic growth represents revenues before reimbursements from continuing operations adjusted to include the impact of our acquisitions as if the Company owned them from the beginning of each comparable period and adjusted to exclude the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Management believes that organic growth reflects the growth of our existing business and is, therefore, useful in analyzing the Company's financial condition and results of operations.
