Cautionary Note About
Forward-Looking Statements
2
This presentation includes "forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which involve uncertainties and risks.
Forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future
revenues, future results and performance, expectations, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions and other matters,
business trends and other information that is not historical, including statements regarding estimates of our future financial
results. When used in this presentation, words such as “estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “intends,”
“believes,” “forecasts” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. All forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, estimates of our future financial results, are based
upon our expectations at the time we make them and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are
expressed in good faith, and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that
management’s expectations, beliefs and estimates will be achieved, and the Company’s actual results may differ
materially from our expectations, beliefs and estimates. The Company has experienced fluctuating revenues, operating
income and cash flow in prior periods and expects that this will occur from time to time in the future. Other factors that
could cause such differences include declines in demand for, or changes in, the mix of services and products that we 
offer, the mix of the geographic locations where our clients are located or where services are performed, adverse 
financial, real estate or other market and general economic conditions, which could impact each of our segments
differently, the pace and timing of the consummation and integration of past and future acquisitions, the Company's ability
to realize cost savings and efficiencies, competitive and general economic conditions, retention of staff and clients and
other risks described under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Form 10-K and in the
Company's other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risks set forth under “Risks Related
to Our Operating Segments” and “Risks Related to Our Operations”. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-
looking statements to conform such statements to actual results or events and do not intend to do so.

Case Study: Cross–Segment Engagements
FTI Consulting has established a global platform with deep expertise and broad capabilities
FTI Consulting leverages this platform by presenting our full set of services to current and
potential clients as one firm
Cross-segment engagements promote a more client-centric, solutions-based go-to-market strategy
Clients that face the most complex and critical situations want an integrated FTI Consulting team, a team
that has the right combination of skills to solve multiple problems
FTI Consulting’s biggest and most profitable projects are cross-segment engagements
In 2012, all of FTI Consulting’s top ten engagements were cross-segment engagements, with many of
them including three or more business segments
Our top ten clients represent multiple industries and include Fortune 500 companies, the world’s most
prestigious law firms and the world’s top bank holding companies

First Quarter 2013 Results: Segment Performance
($ in thousands, except headcount data)
(1)
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before income tax provision, other income (expense), depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, special charges and goodwill impairment charges. Amounts presented in the
Adjusted EBITDA column for each segment reflect the segments' respective Adjusted Segment EBITDA. We define Adjusted Segment EBITDA as a segment’s share of consolidated operating income before depreciation,
amortization
of
intangible
assets,
special
charges
and
goodwill
impairment
charge.
Although
Adjusted
EBITDA
and
Adjusted
Segment
EBITDA
are
not
measures
of
financial
condition
or
performance
determined
in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we believe that these measures can be a useful operating performance measure for evaluating our results of operations as compared from period to period
and as compared to our competitors. 
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.  These non-GAAP measures should be
considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, the information contained in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.  See also our reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.
(2)
The majority of the Technology and Strategic Communications segments' revenues are not generated based on billable hours.  Accordingly, utilization and average billable rate metrics are not presented as they are not
meaningful as a segment-wide metric.
(3)
Effective in the first quarter of 2013, we modified our reportable segments to reflect changes in how we operate our business and the related internal management reporting. The Company’s healthcare practices from both
our
Corporate
Finance/Restructuring
segment
and
our
Forensic
and
Litigation
Consulting
segment
have
been
combined
under
a
single
organizational
structure.
This
single
integrated
practice,
our
health
solutions
practice,
is now aggregated in its entirety within the Forensic and Litigation Consulting reportable segment. Prior period Corporate Finance/Restructuring and Forensic and Litigation Consulting segment information has been reclassified
to conform to the current period presentation.

Appendix


Reconciliation of non-GAAP Financial Measures
($ in thousands, except per share data)
(1)
The
tax
effect
takes
into
account
the
tax
treatment
and
related
tax
rate(s)
that
apply
to
each
adjustment
in
the
applicable
tax
jurisdiction(s).
As
a
result,
the
effective
tax
rate
for
the
adjustment
for
the
three months ended March 31, 2013 was 40.7%. The tax expense related to the adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $0.2 million with no impact on diluted earnings per share.
(2)  We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS as net income and earnings per diluted share, respectively, excluding the impact of any special charges, goodwill impairment and loss on
extinguishment of debt that were incurred in that period. Although Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are not measures of financial condition or performance determined in accordance with
generally
accepted
accounting
principles
("GAAP"),
we
believe
that
these
measures
can
be
a
useful
operating
performance
measure
for
evaluating
our
results
of
operations
as
compared
from
period
to
period and as compared to our competitors.
