BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Charles River Associates (NASDAQ: CRAI), a worldwide leader in providing economic, financial and management consulting services, today announced financial results and filed its Form 10-Q for the fiscal third quarter ended September 29, 2018.
Key Third-Quarter Fiscal 2018 Highlights
- Revenue grew 13.7% year over year to $103.9 million.
- Utilization was 76%, while quarter-end headcount increased 7.2% year over year.
- Net income increased 21.6% year over year to $3.9 million, or 3.8% of revenue, compared with $3.2 million, or 3.5% of revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2017; non-GAAP net income increased 61.1% year over year to $5.6 million, or 5.4% of revenue, compared with $3.5 million, or 3.8% of revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.
- Earnings per diluted share increased 21.1% year over year to $0.46; non-GAAP earnings per diluted share increased 58.5% year over year to $0.65.
- Non-GAAP EBITDA grew 17.7% year over year to $10.1 million, or 9.7% of revenue, compared with $8.6 million, or 9.4% of revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.
- On a constant currency basis relative to the third quarter of fiscal 2017, revenue would have been higher by $0.2 million, while GAAP and non-GAAP net income, earnings per diluted share and EBITDA would have been minimally impacted.
Management Commentary
“For the eighth consecutive quarter, CRA delivered double-digit year-over-year revenue growth,” said Paul Maleh, CRA’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “During the third quarter we increased headcount by 7% and maintained a companywide utilization of 76%, while growing non-GAAP EBITDA, net income, and earnings per diluted share by 18%, 61%, and 59%, respectively.
“These third quarter results reflect continued broad-based profitable growth across the firm,” Maleh said. “Our strong performance within legal and regulatory and management consulting was led by double-digit revenue growth year-over-year in each of our Antitrust & Competition Economics, Finance, Forensic Services, Labor & Employment, and Life Sciences practices. Further highlighting the strength of our portfolio, North American and international operations grew revenue by 13% and 15%, respectively."
Outlook and Financial Guidance
“CRA is well positioned to build on the momentum achieved through the first three quarters of the year,” Maleh said. “As a result, on a constant currency basis relative to fiscal 2017, we are raising our 2018 revenue guidance to the range of $404 million to $410 million and expect to be in the upper half of our previously announced non-GAAP EBITDA margin guidance range of 8.8% to 9.8%.”
CRA does not provide reconciliations of its annual non-GAAP EBITDA margin guidance to GAAP net income margin because CRA is unable to estimate with reasonable certainty the revaluation of contingent consideration liabilities, unusual gains or charges, foreign currency exchange rates, and the resulting effect of these items, and of equity awards, on CRA’s taxes without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and may have a material effect on CRA’s results computed in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation between the historical GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release is provided in the financial tables at the end of this release.
Quarterly Dividend
On November 1, 2018, CRA’s Board of Directors announced an 18% increase to its quarterly cash dividend to $0.20 per common share. This dividend will be payable on December 21, 2018 to shareholders of record as of November 27, 2018. CRA expects to continue paying quarterly dividends, the declaration, timing and amounts of which remain subject to the discretion of CRA’s Board of Directors.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In this release, CRA has supplemented the presentation of its financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or “GAAP” with financial measures that were not calculated in accordance with GAAP. CRA believes that the non-GAAP financial measures described in this press release are important to management and investors because these measures supplement the understanding of CRA’s ongoing operating results and financial condition. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are used by CRA in its budgeting process, and the non-GAAP adjustments described below are made to the performance measures for some of CRA’s performance-based compensation.
The adjustments made to the financial measures identified in this release as “non-GAAP” are as follows: for the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the adjustments exclude non-cash amounts relating principally to valuation changes in contingent consideration; for the year-to-date period ending September 29, 2018, the adjustments exclude non-cash amounts relating principally to valuation changes in contingent consideration, net costs related to a lease recapture, and additional transition effects in connection with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; for the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the adjustments exclude activity related to CRA’s GNU123 Liquidating Corporation subsidiary (“GNU”), which sold substantially all of its assets in April 2016, and non-cash amounts relating principally to valuation changes in contingent consideration; and for the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2017, the adjustments exclude activity related to GNU and non-cash amounts relating principally to impairments on certain intangible assets and valuation changes in contingent consideration. This release also presents certain current fiscal period financial measures on a “constant currency” basis in order to isolate the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations can have on CRA’s financial results. These constant currency measures are determined by recalculating the current fiscal period local currency financial measure using the specified corresponding prior fiscal period’s foreign exchange rates. Finally, this release also presents the non-GAAP financial metric EBITDA.
All of the non-GAAP financial measures referred to above should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a substitute for, the GAAP financial information presented in this release. EBITDA and the financial measures identified in this release as “non-GAAP” are reconciled to their GAAP comparable measures in the financial tables appended to the end of this press release. In evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures, note that the non-GAAP financial measures used by CRA may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
Statements in this press release concerning our future business, operating results and financial condition, including those concerning guidance on future revenue and non-GAAP EBITDA margin, the continuation of or building on any trend or momentum, our expectations regarding the payment of any future quarterly dividends, and statements using the terms “looking ahead,” “outlook,” “expect,” 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 revenue and non-GAAP EBITDA margin in fiscal 2018 on a constant currency basis relative to fiscal 2017 could differ materially from the guidance presented herein, and our actual performance and results may differ materially from the performance and results contained in or implied by the other forward-looking statements made herein, due to many important factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the possibility that the demand for our services may decline as a result of changes in general and industry specific economic conditions; the timing of engagements for our services; the effects of competitive services and pricing; our ability to attract and retain key employee or non-employee experts; the inability to integrate and utilize existing consultants and personnel; the decline or reduction in project work or activity; global economic conditions including less stable political and economic environments; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; unanticipated expenses and liabilities; risks inherent in international operations; changes in tax law or accounting standards, rules, and regulations; our ability to collect on forgivable loans should any become due; and professional and other legal liability or settlements. Additional risks and uncertainties are discussed in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the heading “Risk Factors.” The inclusion of such forward-looking information should not be regarded as our representation that the future events, plans, or expectations contemplated will be achieved. 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.
