During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded $1.0 million in goodwill related to the 2002 earnout provisions of certain acquired businesses. The remaining $0.3 million in goodwill relates to an asset purchase consummated in June 2003.

 

Note 4. Earnings per share (EPS)

 

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing income by the basic shares. Basic shares are the total of the common shares outstanding and the equivalent shares from obligations presumed payable in common stock, both weighted for the average of days outstanding for the period. Diluted shares include the dilutive effect of common shares that could potentially be issued due to the exercise of stock options, restricted shares, or contingently issuable shares. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing income by the diluted shares, which are the total of the basic shares outstanding and all potentially issuable shares, weighted for the average days outstanding for the period.

 

The components of basic and diluted shares (weighted for the average days outstanding for the periods) are as follows (shown in thousands):

As a result of the Hunter business combination, the Company is obligated to issue a certain number of shares of its common stock based on the trading price share value at the time of issuance. The weighted average of these shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 is included in the basic earnings per share calculation.

 

In January 2001, the Company granted 1.9 million restricted shares of its common stock in conjunction with the Value Sharing Retention Program. As of June 30, 2003, approximately 0.4 million shares remained unvested and outstanding and are scheduled to vest in September 2003. In November 2002, the Company granted 0.8 million restricted shares of its common stock, as part of an exchange for stock options that were subject to variable accounting treatment. Approximately, 0.6 million shares were unvested and outstanding as of June 30, 2003. In addition, in December 2002, the Company granted 0.3 million restricted shares that remain unvested as of June 30, 2003. These unvested restricted shares, which total 1.3 million, have voting rights but are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation until vesting occurs; these shares are 100 percent dilutive and are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation based on weighted average days outstanding.

 

The Company granted 1.6 million restricted stock units in October and November of 2002, as a part of the Management Stock Purchase Plan. The restricted stock units are treated as an equivalent to restricted shares in the diluted earnings per share calculation.

 

As part of the earnout provisions for certain acquisition agreements, the Company will settle a portion of its obligations through the issuance of its common stock. Issuance of these shares is contingent based on certain provisions of the acquisition agreements and the shares are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. On April 1, 2003, the Company issued 0.2 million shares for which the contingency was satisfied.

Note 7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 148, the Company presents the following disclosures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002:

 

Other than equity awards subject to variable accounting, the Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value-based method as prescribed under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations for its stock-based compensation plans. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation costs have been recognized for those option grants where the exercise price was equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the purported “fair value” recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to its stock-based compensation plans (shown in thousands, except per share amounts):

2003 Compared to 2002—For the three and six months period ended June 30

 

Revenues.    Total revenues consist primarily of revenues earned from consultants’ fees and reimbursable expenses. Revenues earned from consultants’ fees are primarily a function of billable hours, bill rates and consultant headcount. Revenues earned from reimbursable expenses are billable project-related expenses, which include travel costs, subcontractor services and materials recoverable under the terms of contracts.

 

Total revenues increased $20.4 million and $33.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, to $81.4 million and $155.2 million, respectively, compared to $61.0 million and $121.6 million for

Table of Contents

the corresponding periods in 2002, which represent increases in total revenues of 33 percent and 28 percent, respectively.

 

Revenues before reimbursements were $69.9 million and $133.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to $53.8 million and $107.4 million for the corresponding periods in 2002. The increases of $16.1 million, a 30 percent increase, and $26.5 million, a 25 percent increase, for the three and six months ended June 30 2003, respectively, are attributed primarily to an increase in the average bill rates and utilization rates offset by a decline in the consulting headcount. Consultant utilization rates were 75 percent and 74 percent, respectively, for the periods discussed compared to 67 percent and 68 percent in the corresponding periods of 2002. The improvement in utilization was a function of increased client engagement sales and consulting headcount reductions for excess consulting capacity, which consisted of about 45 employee terminations in the Energy & Water business segment and the reassignment of certain other consulting personnel within the segment during the first quarter of 2003. Additionally, a portion of the revenues increase was achieved through improvements in the average bill rate mix during the corresponding periods.

 

Costs of Services.    Total costs of services consist primarily of consultant personnel-related costs, reimbursable project-related expenses and client development expenses.

 

Total cost of services expenses were $50.6 million and $98.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $40.5 million and $79.6 million for the corresponding periods in 2002.

 

Cost of services before reimbursable expenses increased $5.8 million, or 17 percent, to $39.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, and increased $12.1 million, or 18 percent, to $77.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increases primarily related to both consulting personnel salaries and related costs associated with acquisitions consummated after March 31, 2002 and cash incentive accruals. The cash incentive accruals are based on a certain percentage of profitability and are paid to consultants in the following year. The Company had higher profitability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to the corresponding periods in 2002 and, accordingly, the Company recorded higher estimated cash incentive accruals in each of those periods in 2003 compared to 2002.

 

In addition, the Company had other charges in the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 that were not in the corresponding periods of 2002. The Company recorded $1.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2003 for severances related to employee terminations during the first quarter of 2003. Those employee terminations reduced excess capacity in the Energy & Water business segment. In addition, the Company recorded $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003 for cash payments due as a part of the Management Stock Purchase Program (“MSPP”) and are expensed over the period earned on a straight-line basis. Included in the second quarter 2002 expenses were $0.8 million in costs associated with the acquisition and integration of acquired business practices.

 

Stock-based Compensation Expense.    Stock-based compensation expense is recorded for restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis over the term based on the valuation amount at grant date. In addition, stock-based compensation expense is recorded for certain Value Sharing Retention Program (“VSRP”) stock options, exchanged stock options and stock appreciation rights (“variable accounting awards”) that have been awarded to the Company’s employees and are subject to variable accounting treatment. Compensation expense (or credit) for these variable accounting awards is recorded, on a cumulative basis, for the increase (or decrease) in the Company’s stock price above the grant prices at quarter end.

 

Total stock-based compensation expense was $4.5 million and $6.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to $1.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2002.

 

At June 30, 2003, the Company’s common stock price was $11.85, which was an increase of $6.55 and $5.95 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively. Accordingly, the Company recorded stock-

 

16


Table of Contents

based compensation expense of $2.7 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30 2003, respectively, to reflect the market valuation adjustment of certain stock option awards and stock appreciation rights subject to variable accounting treatment. Stock-based compensation expense for variable accounting awards was $0.6 million and $1.8 million for the comparable periods in 2002. In future periods, the Company expects to record $0.3 million in stock-based compensation for variable accounting awards for every one dollar change in its common stock price, until the variable accounting awards outstanding at June 30, 2003 have been exercised or cancelled. Approximately two-thirds of the awards are stock appreciation rights which expire in the second quarter of 2005; the remaining awards were issued before December 31, 1999 and expire 10 years from the original date of issue.

 

Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards was $1.8 million and $3.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to $0.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2002. The increase is related to expense recorded for restricted stock awards granted under the MSPP and restricted stock granted in exchange for variable accounting stock options. These restricted stock awards were granted during the fourth quarter 2002 and accordingly, no stock-based compensation expense relating to these awards was recorded in the corresponding periods of 2002.

 

General and Administrative Expenses.    General and administrative expenses include facility-related costs, salaries and benefits of management and support personnel, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, professional administrative services, and all other support costs.

 

General and administrative expenses increased $2.1 million (or 14 percent) and $3.7 million (or 13 percent) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, to $16.7 million and $32.7 million, respectively, from $14.7 million and $29.0 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. The Company’s objective is to be able to increase revenues in the future without a significant change in general and administrative costs. Facility-related costs increased to support the businesses acquired in 2002. The Company has 38 offices, which are used to support its employee base. Some offices currently used were added through acquisitions of businesses. Insurance expenses for business liability insurance coverage increased primarily due to higher premiums. Additionally, the Company initiated a re-branding strategy for the Company’s businesses, incurring expenses of approximately $0.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2003.

 

Depreciation Expense.    Depreciation expense includes primarily the straight-line depreciation of capital purchases related to computers, facilities furnishings, and leasehold improvements.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, depreciation expense was $2.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, compared to $2.0 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2002. In the second quarter of 2003, an assessment of the value of long-term assets for portions of the Energy & Water business segment was completed. During the three months ended June 30, 2003, the Company determined that the carrying value of certain of these assets were not recoverable based upon anticipated future cash flows from the assets and the Company recorded a non-cash charge to depreciation of $0.4 million to reflect the impairment of these assets.

 

Amortization Expense.    Amortization expense includes primarily the straight-line amortization of identifiable intangibles recorded in conjunction with certain business acquisitions. The intangible assets include non-compete covenants, customer lists and trade names.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, amortization expense was $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, compared to $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the corresponding periods in 2002. The increases in amortization expense resulted from the acquisition of Hunter and the corresponding amortization of intangibles associated with Hunter.

Table of Contents

Income Tax Expense.    Income tax expense includes federal, state and foreign income tax provisions the Company is obligated to pay currently, or through deferred tax provisions (benefits) in the future.

 

The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.7 million and $5.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to $0.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2002. The increases in income tax expense were primarily due to increases in profitability.

 

Human Capital

 

The Company had 943 consultants as of June 30, 2003, a net decrease of 73 consultants from the beginning of the year. The decrease in consultant headcount includes approximately 45 employee terminations in the Energy & Water Consulting segment, principally related to the Company reducing excess consulting capacity.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Summary

 

The Company had approximately $7.4 million in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2003 compared to $8.1 million at December 31, 2002. The Company’s cash equivalents were primarily limited to commercial paper or securities (rated A or better), with maturity dates of 90 days or less.

 

Working capital, the excess of current assets over current liabilities, at June 30, 2003 was $35.8 million, compared to $25.9 million at December 31, 2002. The increase in working capital was primarily related to the increase in accounts receivable.

 

The Company calculates accounts receivable days sales outstanding (“DSO”) by dividing the accounts receivable balance, net of deferred revenue credits, at the end of the quarter by daily revenues. Daily revenues are calculated by taking quarterly revenues divided by 90 days. Calculated as such, DSO was 77 days at both June 30, 2003 and at December 31, 2002.

 

Cash Flow

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company’s net cash from operating activities provided $10.5 million. Several of the larger amounts that affected the net cash from operating activities include the following items. Net income provided $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The Company’s accrued compensation-related costs liability reduced the cash requirements by $6.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in accrued compensation-related costs was primarily attributable to annual employee incentive compensation, which is based on a percentage of profitability for the period. The accrued employee incentive compensation will not be paid until 2004. Stock-based compensation expense of $6.2 million did not require cash payments in the period. These amounts were offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $12.2 million as a result of increased revenue generation.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $12.0 million. The Company paid $6.9 million related to businesses acquired before 2003. In addition, the Company used $5.1 million for capital spending.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.9 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company received net cash and related tax benefits of $5.0 million from transactions related to stock option exercises and stock purchases by its employees. Most of the funding from the employee stock option exercises came in the latter part of the second quarter when the Company’s common stock price more than doubled the price as of March 31, 2003. The Company had $2.0 million net bank borrowing under its line of credit to meet some of its short-term obligations and operating needs. The Company used $6.1 million to purchase 1.0 million shares of its common stock, which were repurchased mostly during the first quarter of 2003.

Debt, Commitments and Capital

 

The Company maintains an unsecured revolving line of credit agreement for $50.0 million, with the ability to increase the amount up to $75.0 million over the term of the agreement. The revolving line of credit agreement expires on October 31, 2005 and the Company has the option to extend the agreement for an additional two years from the expiration date. Borrowings under the revolving line of credit agreement bear interest based, at the Company’s option, on either (1) the higher of the prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.5 percent, or (2) London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.25 percent. The line of credit agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum level of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, among other things.

 

The Company was in compliance with the terms of the line of credit agreement as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had $8.5 million outstanding under the line of credit agreement, compared to $6.5 million at December 31, 2002.

 

As part of the Barba-Arkhon purchase agreement, the Company had $3.0 million in notes payable due in two equal annual installments, on March 1, 2002 and 2003. The Company has paid both installments in accordance with the terms of the agreement and does not have any remaining purchase price obligations related to Barba-Arkhon.

 

As of June 30, 2003, the Company had approximately $8.0 million in deferred purchase price and contingent earnout obligations payable in cash and common stock. On July 15, 2003, the Company paid $1.5 million of the total obligations in cash. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had $3.3 million, in aggregate, cash obligations related to the MSPP agreements, which is payable over three years. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had no significant commitments for capital expenditures, except for those related to rental expense under operating leases.

 

The Company believes that its current cash and cash equivalents, its future cash flows from operations and the line of credit facility provide adequate cash to fund anticipated short-term and long-term cash needs from normal operations. In the event the Company was to make significant cash expenditures in the future for major acquisitions or other non-operating activities, the Company might need additional debt or equity financing, as appropriate.

 

Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to pay additional purchase price amounts that are part of the consideration for certain purchase agreements. The payments, if any, are contingent on the achievement of certain revenue and gross margin targets by the acquired businesses. The Company believes that it will have sufficient funds to satisfy obligations related to the contingent consideration. The Company expects to fund these contingent payments, if any, from the cash generated from the operations of these acquired businesses.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:

 

Revenue Recognition Policies

 

The Company generally recognizes revenues as the related professional services are provided. In connection with recording revenues, estimates and assumptions are required in determining the expected conversion of the

revenues to cash. Certain client contracts contain contingency provisions on the occurrence of a future event before revenue is earned. In the case of a contingency, no revenue is recorded by the Company until the contingency is removed. From time to time, the Company also earns incremental revenues, commonly referred to as “success fees,” such as revenues derived from the successful closing of client asset sales. These success fee amounts are generally contingent on a specific event, and are handled like other contingencies in which once the contingency is satisfied, revenue is then recognized on the percentage of completion method.

 

Determinations of Accounts Receivable Realization

 

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated loss resulting from the Company’s review and assessment of its clients’ ability to make required payments, and the estimated realization, in cash, by the Company of amounts due from its clients. If the financial condition of the Company’s clients were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of a client’s ability to make payments, additional allowances might be required.

 

Valuation of Net Deferred Tax Assets

 

The Company has recorded net deferred tax assets as it expects to realize future tax benefits related to the utilization of these assets. Although the Company has experienced net losses in recent years before 2002, no valuation allowance has been recorded related to these deferred tax assets because management believes that it is more likely than not that future taxable income will be sufficient to realize the future tax benefits. Should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, it would need to establish a valuation allowance which would be recorded as a charge to income in the period such determination was made.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

The Company’s primary exposure to market risks relates to changes in interest rates associated with its borrowings under the line of credit, and its investment portfolio, classified as cash equivalents. The Company’s general investment policy is to limit the risk of principal loss by limiting market and credit risks.

 

As of June 30, 2003, the Company’s investments were primarily limited to ‘A’ rated securities with maturity dates of 90 days or less. These financial instruments are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value if interest rates rise. Because of the short periods to maturity of these instruments, an increase in interest rates would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or operating results.

 

The Company’s market risk associated with its line of credit relates to changes in interest rates. Borrowings under the line of credit agreement bear interest based, at the Company’s option, on either (1) the higher of the prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.5 percent, or (2) London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.25 percent. Based on bank borrowings under the line of credit agreement as of June 30, 2003, a substantial rise in interest rates would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position and operating results. The Company does not anticipate any material changes in interest rates in the short-term future.

 

Other than the line of credit obligation, certain deferred purchase price obligations, and contingent earnout obligations discussed above, the Company does not have any short-term debt, long-term debt, interest rate derivatives, forward exchange agreements, firmly committed foreign currency sales transactions, or derivative commodity instruments.

 

The Company operates in foreign countries which exposes it to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; however, such risk is immaterial in relation to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
