Restructuring services and market dynamics, headcount and workforce strategy, economic consulting segment performance, M&A-related antitrust services, and restructuring market dynamics are the key contradictions discussed in FTI Consulting's latest 2025Q1 earnings call.
Strong Performance in Forensic and Litigation Consulting (FLC):
- FLC reported record revenues of $190.6 million, increasing by 8.3%.
- This growth was driven by the team's success in winning and delivering on major projects, enhancing the firm's brand and visibility.
Challenges in Economic Consulting:
- Economic Consulting saw revenues decline by 12.1%, primarily due to lower demand in M&A-related and non-M&A-related antitrust services.
- The decrease was also amplified by departures in the competition practice and the resulting uncertainty, which impacted revenue adversely.
Impact of Regulatory Shifts and Economic Uncertainty:
- The company acknowledged potential negative impacts on the FLC segment from regulatory shifts in policies such as anti-consumer fraud and FCPA.
- Uncertainty in the M&A market and the broader economic climate affected the demand for services in both Economic Consulting and Technology.
Strategic Communications Growth and Outlook:
- Strategic Communications reported record revenues of $87 million, increasing by 7.2%, primarily due to higher demand for corporate reputation services.
- This growth is attributed to clients seeking support amidst political and regulatory uncertainty.
