BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Charles River Associates (NASDAQ: CRAI), a worldwide leader in providing economic, financial, and management consulting services, today announced financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended January 2, 2016.
“We continued to see strong demand for our portfolio of services in fiscal 2015,” said Paul Maleh, CRA’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “For fiscal 2015, companywide utilization of 74% and non-GAAP revenue of $299.8 million were driven by our largest and most prominent practice, Antitrust & Competition Economics, which achieved another year of record performance, with strong contributions from both North America and Europe. As we celebrated our 50th anniversary in 2015, we maintained our focus on professional development, invested in our infrastructure, and increased consulting headcount relative to the end of fiscal 2014 by 13% to 511.”
“We welcomed nearly 100 new consultants during the second half of the year, which positions CRA for growth in the quarters ahead,” Maleh said. “While we are thrilled with the additions of our new colleagues, slower than expected integration was the primary contributor to a companywide utilization of 68% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. We remain focused on our integration efforts and continue to see improved productivity from our new colleagues. Project lead flow and new project originations remain strong, which should help drive higher utilization and revenue going forward.”
Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2015 Results
Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was $72.5 million, compared with $78.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. Non-GAAP revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was $71.6 million, compared with $77.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. Both GAAP and non-GAAP results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 reflect 13 weeks of operations, whereas the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 had 14 weeks of operations.
Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was $5.3 million, or 7.4% of revenue, compared with $12.5 million, or 16.0% of revenue, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. On a non-GAAP basis, Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was $9.9 million, or 13.8% of revenue, compared with $12.6 million, or 16.3% of revenue, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.
Net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was $1.3 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, which includes the effect of a non-cash goodwill impairment charge relating to NeuCo of $4.5 million. This compares with net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 of $3.8 million, or $0.40 per diluted share. NeuCo’s goodwill impairment charge does not affect CRA’s liquidity position, cash flow, or bank line of credit, nor does it have any effect on CRA’s operations. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was $0.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with $3.9 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.
The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was negative 1.4%, compared with 37.8% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. The non-GAAP effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was 87.6%, compared with 36.3% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. This unusually high non-GAAP effective tax rate is primarily related to lower than expected pre-tax fourth quarter earnings and a change in the jurisdictional mix of profits. For fiscal year 2015, the effective tax rate was 46.5%, compared with 42.5% for fiscal year 2014. The non-GAAP effective tax rate was 41.2% for fiscal year 2015, compared with 41.1% for fiscal year 2014.
On a constant currency basis relative to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, non-GAAP revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 would have increased by approximately $1.0 million to $72.5 million; non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA would have increased by approximately $0.1 million to $10.0 million, or 13.8% of revenue; and non-GAAP net income would have increased by roughly $0.1 million to $0.3 million, or by approximately $0.01 per diluted share to $0.04 per diluted share.
Full-Year Fiscal 2015 Summary
For the full-year fiscal 2015, CRA reported revenue of $303.6 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 13.5%. On a non-GAAP basis, revenue was $299.8 million, and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.6%. Consistent with updated guidance provided on January 22, 2016, if adjusted on a constant currency basis relative to fiscal 2014, non-GAAP revenue would have increased to $306.1 million, while non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin would have increased to 15.8%.
A complete reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures for the fourth quarters and full years of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 is provided in the financial tables at the end of this release and described under the heading “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Outlook and Financial Guidance
For full-year fiscal 2016, on a constant currency basis relative to fiscal 2015, CRA expects non-GAAP revenue in the range of $312 million to $322 million, and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin in the range of 15.8% to 16.6%. “While we are encouraged by our strong lead flow and demands in the marketplace, we remain mindful that uncertainties around global economic conditions and continued integration of our new colleagues can affect our business,” Maleh concluded.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to reporting its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the Company has also provided in this release non-GAAP financial information. The Company believes that the use of non-GAAP measures in addition to GAAP measures is a useful method of evaluating its results of operations. The Company believes that presenting its financial results excluding the items identified below is important to investors and management because it is more indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating results and financial condition. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in conjunction with, but not as a substitute for, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and the results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those results should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. Specifically, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the 2014 fiscal year, and for the full 2016 fiscal year guidance, the Company has excluded NeuCo’s results, and for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 and the full 2015 fiscal year, the Company has excluded NeuCo’s results (including its non-cash goodwill impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2015) and a non-cash change in estimate associated with a contingent liability for a future contingent consideration payment related to a prior acquisition. Also, in calculating “Adjusted EBITDA” from income (loss) from operations for these fiscal periods, the Company has excluded the following non-cash expenses: depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expenses, and amortization of forgivable loans.
Finally, the Company also believes that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can significantly affect its financial results and provides a constant currency presentation to supplement disclosures regarding its results of operations and performance. The Company calculates constant currency amounts relative to a prior period, which also constitute non-GAAP financial information, by converting its current period local currency financial results using the prior period exchange rates. The Company has presented in this press release its non-GAAP revenue, net income, earnings per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 on a constant currency basis relative to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, its fiscal 2015 non-GAAP revenue and Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis relative to fiscal 2014, and its guidance for fiscal 2016 non-GAAP revenue and Adjusted EBITDA on a constant currency basis relative to fiscal 2015.
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
Statements in this press release concerning our future business, operating results and financial condition, including guidance on future non-GAAP revenue and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, and statements regarding project lead flow and originations driving future utilization and revenue growth or the effect of our integration efforts of consulting staff on productivity, and statements using the terms “expect,” “position,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” or similar expressions, are “forward-looking” statements as defined in Section 21 of the Exchange Act. These statements are based upon our current expectations and various underlying assumptions. Although we believe there is a reasonable basis for these statements and assumptions, and these statements are expressed in good faith, these statements are subject to a number of additional factors and uncertainties. Our actual non-GAAP revenue and non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA margin in fiscal 2016 on a constant currency basis relative to fiscal 2015 could differ materially from the guidance presented herein, and our actual performance and results may differ materially from the performance and results contained or implied by the other forward-looking statements made herein, due to many important factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the loss of key employee consultants or non-employee experts; their failure to generate engagements for us; our inability to attract, hire or retain qualified consultants or to integrate and utilize existing consultants and personnel; the unpredictable nature and risk of litigation-related projects; dependence on the growth of our management consulting practice; the change in demand for our services; the potential loss of clients; changes in the law that affect our practice areas; global economic conditions; foreign exchange rate fluctuations; intense competition; our attributable annual cost savings; changes in our effective tax rate; share dilution from our stock-based compensation; integration and generation of existing and new clients; unanticipated expenses and liabilities; the risk of impairment write downs to our intangible assets, including goodwill; risks associated with acquisitions (past, present and future); risks inherent in international operations; changes in accounting standards, rules and regulations; integration and management of new and existing offices; the ability of clients to terminate engagements with us on short notice; our ability to collect on forgivable loans should any become due; general economic conditions; the performance of our NeuCo subsidiary; and professional and other legal liability. Further information on these and other potential factors that could affect our future business, operating results and financial condition is included in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including risks under the heading “Risk Factors.” We cannot guarantee any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievement. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this press release, and we do not intend to do so.
