Fee revenue was $186.5 million in Q3 FY’11 compared to $146.8 million in Q3 FY’10, an increase of 27% (or an increase of 28%, or $40.5 million, on a constant currency basis), which reflects increases in fee revenue from all segments of the business driven primarily by an 18% increase in the overall number of engagements billed as well as a 7% increase in the weighted-average fee billed per engagement compared to the year-ago fiscal quarter.
Compensation and benefits were $126.1 million in Q3 FY’11, an increase of $23.4 million, or 23% (on both an actual and constant currency basis), compared to $102.7 million in Q3 FY’10. This increase is attributable mainly to an increase in the variable component of compensation when compared to the year-ago fiscal quarter and an increase in worldwide headcount. Variable compensation was lower in Q3 FY’10 compared to Q3 FY’11 due to the challenging economic conditions in Q3 FY’10.
General and administrative expenses were $31.5 million in Q3 FY’11 and $31.6 million in Q3 FY’10. Changes in exchange rates impacted general and administrative expenses in Q3 FY’11 favorably by $0.3 million compared to Q3 FY’10.
Operating income was $20.5 million in Q3 FY’11 compared to $6.4 million in Q3 FY’10 (or $6.0 million excluding recoveries of previously recorded restructuring charges in Q3 FY’10), an increase of $14.1 million (or $14.5 million excluding recoveries of previously recorded restructuring charges in Q3 FY’10).

 

 


 

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Cash and marketable securities were $303.6 million at January 31, 2011 compared to $296.5 million at April 30, 2010. Cash and marketable securities include $68.6 million and $69.0 million, held in trust for deferred compensation plans, at January 31, 2011 and April 30, 2010, respectively. Cash and marketable securities increased by $7.1 million from April 30, 2010, mainly due to cash provided by operating activities partially offset by bonuses earned in FY’10 and paid in FY’11.

(a)   Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude recoveries of restructuring charges of $0.1 million and $2.8 million during nine months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Adjusted results for the three months ended January 31, 2010 exclude recoveries of restructuring charges of $0.3 million (see attached reconciliations). There were no adjustments during the three months ended January 31, 2011.
Fee revenue was $23.4 million in Q3 FY’11, an increase of $5.8 million, or 33%, from $17.6 million in Q3 FY’10. The improvement in fee revenue was driven by a 16% increase in the weighted-average fee billed per engagement, as well as a 14% increase in the number of engagements billed.
Operating income was $1.3 million in Q3 FY’11 compared to $0.6 million in Q3 FY’10. Q3 FY’10 operating income includes recoveries of restructuring costs of $0.3 million which primarily relates to lower facility lease costs than originally recorded; without which operating income would have been $0.2 million.
Outlook
Assuming constant foreign exchange rates, stable economic conditions and steady financial markets, Q4 FY’11 fee revenue is likely to be in the range of $183 million to $197 million and diluted earnings per share is likely to be in the range of $0.30 to $0.36.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this press release and our conference call that relate to future results and events (“forward-looking statements”) are based on Korn/Ferry’s current expectations. The statements, which include words such as “believes”, “expects” or “likely” include references to our outlook. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Actual results in future periods may differ materially from those currently expected or desired because of a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond the control of Korn/Ferry. The potential risks and uncertainties include those relating to competition, the dependence on attracting and retaining qualified and experienced consultants, maintaining our brand name and professional reputation, potential legal liability, the portability of client relationships, global and local political or economic developments in or affecting countries where we have operations, currency fluctuations in our international operations, risks related to the growth, alignment of our cost structure with our growth, restrictions imposed by off-limits agreements, reliance on information processing systems, our ability to enhance and develop new technology, the successful integration of acquired businesses, our ability to develop new products and services, impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, deferred tax assets and employment liability risk. For a detailed description of risks and uncertainties that could cause differences, please refer to Korn/Ferry’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures include the following:
  •   adjusted operating income (loss) and operating margin, adjusted to exclude charges (recoveries) of restructuring charges, net;
  •   adjusted net income (loss), adjusted to exclude charges (recoveries) of restructuring charges, net and certain tax adjustments;
  •   adjusted basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, adjusted to exclude charges (recoveries) of restructuring charges, net and certain tax adjustments; and
  •   constant currency amounts that represent the outcome that would have resulted had exchange rates in the reported period been the same as those in effect in the comparable prior year period.
This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for financial information determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
Management believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures in this press release provides meaningful supplemental information regarding Korn/Ferry’s performance by excluding certain charges that may not be indicative of Korn/Ferry’s ongoing operating results. The use of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons to Korn/Ferry’s historical performance. Korn/Ferry includes these non-GAAP financial measures because management believes it is useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its evaluation of Korn/Ferry’s ongoing operations and financial and operational decision-making.
