Korn Ferry Announces Second Quarter Fiscal 2019

Results of Operations

 

Highlights

 

Korn Ferry reports fee revenue of $495.2 million in Q2 FY’19, an 11.8% increase (14.6% on a constant currency basis) from Q2 FY’18, driven by organic growth in all segments.

 

Operating income was $71.0 million in Q2 FY’19 with an operating margin of 14.3%.  Adjusted EBITDA was $80.3 million with Adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.2%.

 

Q2 FY’19 diluted earnings per share was $0.81 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.64 in Q2 FY’18.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.85 in Q2 FY’19 compared to Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.67 in Q2 FY’18.

 

The Company continued with its balanced approach to capital allocation, buying back $22.7 million of stock during the quarter and declaring a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share on December 5, 2018 payable on January 15, 2019 to stockholders of record on December 20, 2018.

 

 

In connection with the previously announced rebranding, the firm also announced that it will be formally changing its name from Korn/Ferry International to Korn Ferry, effective January 1, 2019 – a move reflecting the transformation of the organization to one unified brand.

Los Angeles, CA, December 6, 2018 Korn/Ferry International (NYSE: KFY), a global organizational consulting firm, today announced first quarter fee revenue of $495.2 million.  Second quarter diluted earnings per share was $0.81 and Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.85.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the second quarter excludes $2.8 million related to retention awards from a prior acquisition, or $0.04 per share.

“For Korn Ferry’s recently completed second quarter, we achieved the highest top line and bottom line results in our history, with fee revenue of approximately $495 million and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately $80 million and 16.2%, respectively.  Our fee revenue grew approximately 12% year-over-year in the second quarter, 14.6% at constant currency, with strong growth across all of our geographies and solutions.  Additionally, during the quarter we continued to effectively deploy capital, repurchasing over $22 million of our shares.  Our return on invested capital continues to accelerate. From the end of FY’18 to the end of Q2 FY’19, our return on invested capital has now increased by over 200 basis points,” said Gary D. Burnison, CEO, Korn Ferry.

 

“Calendar year 2018 is the year we established ourselves as the preeminent global organizational consulting firm, a company whose purpose is to enable people and organizations to exceed their potential. When looking at the one professional we put in a new job every three minutes, the 1.2 million people we develop each year and 98% of the Fortune 500 who work with us – it is clear we are making a notable impact. I look forward to what the future holds as we ring in a New Year."

Fee revenue was $197.6 million in Q2 FY’19, an increase of $20.8 million or 11.8% (14.0% on a constant currency basis) compared to Q2 FY’18.  The increase in fee revenue was attributable to higher fee revenue in all regions.

Operating income was $51.5 million in Q2 FY’19 compared to $35.3 million in Q2 FY’18.  Operating margin was 26.0% in Q2 FY’19 compared to 20.0% in the year-ago quarter.  The increase in operating income was due to higher fee revenue in Q2 FY’19 compared to Q2 FY’18, partially offset by an increase in compensation and benefits expense driven by an increase in performance related bonus expense and an increase in average headcount.

Adjusted EBITDA was $49.2 million in Q2 FY’19 with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.9% compared to $38.0 million and 21.5%, respectively, in the year-ago quarter.

Fee revenue was $80.5 million in Q2 FY’19, an increase of $14.2 million or 21.4% (24.4% increase on a constant currency basis), compared to the year-ago quarter.  The higher fee revenue was driven by an increase in fee revenue in professional search and recruitment process outsourcing of $8.2 million and $6.0 million, respectively, in Q2 FY’19 compared to Q2 FY’18.

Operating income was $12.5 million in Q2 FY’19, an increase of $3.1 million compared to Q2 FY’18 operating income of $9.4 million.  Operating margin was 15.6% in the current quarter compared to 14.2% in the year-ago quarter.  

EBITDA was $13.2 million during Q2 FY’19, an increase of $3.0 million compared to Q2 FY’18.  EBITDA margin was 16.4% in Q2 FY’19 and 15.4% in Q2 FY’18.

Outlook

Assuming worldwide economic conditions, financial markets and foreign exchange rates remain steady, on a consolidated basis:

 

Q3 FY’19 fee revenue is expected to be in the range of $470 million and $490 million; and

 

Q3 FY’19 diluted earnings per share is likely to range between $0.76 to $0.84.

On a consolidated adjusted basis:

 

Q3 FY’19 Adjusted diluted earnings per share is expected to be in the range from $0.77 to $0.85.

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.  These 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, changes in demand for our services as a result of automation, the dependence on attracting and retaining qualified and experienced consultants, our ability to maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain key employees, maintaining our brand name and professional reputation, potential legal liability and regulatory developments, 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 growth, alignment of our cost structure, restrictions imposed by off-limits agreements, reliance on information processing systems, cyber security vulnerabilities, changes to data security, data privacy and data protection laws, limited protection of our intellectual property, our ability to enhance and develop new technology, our ability to develop new products and services, the utilization and billing rates of our consultants, our ability to successfully recover from a disaster or other business continuity problems, changes in our accounting estimates/assumptions, tax accounting effects of the Tax Act, impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, deferred tax assets that we may not be able to use, seasonality, risks related to the integration of recently acquired businesses, employment liability risk, the impact of rebranding on the Company’s products and services; the expected timing of the Company’s rebranding and entity rationalization plan, and the costs of the Company’s rebranding and entity rationalization plan.  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.  Korn Ferry disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

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”).  In particular, it includes:

 

Adjusted net income attributable to Korn/Ferry International, adjusted to exclude restructuring (recoveries) charges, net, integration/acquisition costs and tradename write-offs, net of income tax effect;

 

Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share, adjusted to exclude restructuring (recoveries) charges, net, integration/acquisition costs and tradename write-offs, net of income tax effect; and in the case of the outlook section, also adjusted for tax rate impact;

 

Constant currency (calculated using a quarterly average) 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;

 

EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and EBITDA margin; and

 

Adjusted EBITDA, which is EBITDA further adjusted to exclude restructuring (recoveries) charges, net, integration/acquisition costs and tradename write-offs, and Adjusted EBITDA margin.

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 and other items that may not be indicative of Korn Ferry’s ongoing operating results.  These non-GAAP financial measures are performance measures and are not indicative of the liquidity of Korn Ferry.  These charges and other items represent 1) costs we incurred to acquire and integrate a portion of our Advisory business, 2) charges we incurred or recoveries we received to restructure the combined company due to the acquisition of a portion of our Advisory business, and 3) tradename write-offs associated with the rebranding plan initiated by Korn Ferry.  The use of non-GAAP financial measures facilitates comparisons to Korn Ferry’s historical performance.  Korn Ferry includes non-GAAP financial measures because management believes they are 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.  Management further believes that EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by investors and other interested parties to measure operating performance among companies with different capital structures, effective tax rates and tax attributes and capitalized asset values, all of which can vary substantially from company to company.  In the case of constant currency amounts, management believes the presentation of such information provides useful supplemental information regarding Korn Ferry's performance as excluding the impact of exchange rate changes on Korn Ferry's financial performance allows investors to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s operating results, to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by exchange rate changes and to perform related trend analysis, and provides a higher degree of transparency of information used by management in its evaluation of Korn Ferry's ongoing operations and financial and operational decision-making.

Explanation of Non-GAAP Adjustments

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(1) Restructuring plan implemented in order to rationalize our cost structure by eliminating redundant positions and consolidating office

 

space due to a previous acquisition that took place on December 1, 2015.

 

(2) Costs associated with completing a previous acquisition, such as legal and professional fees, retention awards and the on-going integration

 

expenses to combine the companies.

 

(3) The Company is implementing a plan to go to market under a single, master brand architecture to simplify the Company’s

 

organizational structure by eliminating and/or consolidating certain legal entities and implementing a rebranding of the Company

 

to offer the Company’s current products and services using the “Korn Ferry” name, branding and trademarks. As a result

 

of this the Company was required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to record a one-time,

 

non-cash tradename write-offs.

 

(4) Tax effect on restructuring (recoveries) charges, net, integration/acquisition costs and tradename write-offs.
