Cautionary Note About Forward-Looking Statements

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 2014 financial results, our medium-term growth targets or other future financial results. When used in this press release, words such as “anticipates,” “aspirational,” “estimates,” “expects,” “goals,” “intends,” “believes,” “forecasts,” “targets,” “objectives” 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 2014 financial results, our medium-term growth targets or other future financial results, are based upon our expectations at the time we make them and various assumptions. Our medium term growth targets do not represent forecasted future results or financial guidance; rather, they reflect our medium-term growth objectives, developed on the basis of a comprehensive review of our businesses and reflecting our plans for the future. Our expectations, beliefs, projections and growth targets 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, estimates or growth targets will be achieved, and the Company’s actual results may differ materially from our expectations, beliefs, estimates and growth targets. 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 filed with the SEC and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC, including the risks set forth under “Risks Related to Our Reportable 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.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2014 increased 9.6% to $454.3 million compared to $414.6 million in the second quarter of 2013

Organic revenue growth of 8.7% was driven by revenue growth across all business segments compared to the same prior year period

The major driver of quarterly results was our Forensic and Litigation Consulting and Technology businesses

Fully diluted Earnings Per Share, or EPS, for the second quarter of 2014 were $0.42 compared to $0.58 in the second quarter of 2013

The second quarter of 2014 included a special charge of $9.4 million related to the closure of the Company’s West Palm Beach office and the termination of a corporate plane lease, which reduced EPS by

$0.14

Adjusted EPS for the second quarter of 2014 were $0.55

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2014 was $59.9 million, or

13.2% of revenues, compared to $66.0 million, or 15.9% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2013

Second quarter of 2014 results were favorably impacted by revenue increases across the Company’s five business segments, which was more than offset by related increases in performance-based compensation, investments and the impact of employment contract extensions in the Economic Consulting business segment

(1) We define Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated net income before income tax provision, other non-operating income (expense), depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special

charges, goodwill impairment charges and losses on early extinguishment of debt. 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 (loss) before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges and goodwill impairment charges. We use Adjusted

Segment EBITDA to internally evaluate the financial performance of our segments because we believe it is a useful supplemental measure which reflects current core operating performance and provides an indicator of the segment’s ability to generate

cash. We also believe that these measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial results, provide management and investors with a more complete understanding of our operating results, including underlying trends, by excluding the

effects of remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges and goodwill impairment charges. In addition, EBITDA is a common alternative measure of operating performance used by many of our competitors. It is used by

investors, financial analysts, rating agencies and others to value and compare the financial performance of companies in our industry. Therefore, we also believe that these measures, considered along with corresponding GAAP measures, provide

management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating results to the operating results of other companies. 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. Margin is equal to Adjusted Segment EBITDA divided by the respective Segment Revenues. These non-GAAP financial 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 GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation.

(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) 2013 utilization and average bill rate calculations for our Corporate Finance/Restructuring, Forensic and Litigation Consulting, and Economic Consulting segments were updated to reflect the realignment of certain practices as well as information

related to non-U.S. operations that was not previously available.

(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 adjustments related to special charges for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was 41%.

The tax expense related to the adjustment for special charges for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $3.8 million or a $0.09 impact on diluted earnings per share. In the three months ended June 30, 2013, there were no special charges.

(2) 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 rates for the adjustments related to the remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration for

the three months ended June 30, 2014 was 37.2%. The tax expense related to the remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.1 million with no impact on diluted earnings per share. The adjustments related

to the remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were not taxable.

(3) We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share as net income and earnings per diluted share, respectively, excluding the impact of remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges, goodwill impairment charges and

losses on early extinguishment of debt. We use Adjusted Net Income for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share. Management uses Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share to assess total company operating performance on a consistent basis. We believe

that this measure, when considered together with our GAAP financial results, provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of our business operating results, including underlying trends, by excluding the effects of the remeasurement of acquisition-

related contingent consideration, special charges, goodwill impairment charges and losses on early extinguishment of debt. Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other

companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, the information contained in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

(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 adjustments related to special charges for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 41%. The

tax expense related to the adjustment for special charges for the six month ended June 30, 2014 were $3.8 million or a $0.09 impact on diluted earnings per share. The effective tax rate for the adjustments related to special charges for the six months ended June 30, 3013 was

40.7%. The tax expense related to the adjustment for special charges for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $0.2 million with no impact on diluted earnings per share.

(2) 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 rates for the adjustments related to the remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration for

the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 36.5%. The tax expense related to the remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.1 million with no impact on diluted earnings per share. The adjustments related of

acquisition-related contingent consideration for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were not taxable.

(3) We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share as net income and earnings per diluted share, respectively, excluding the impact of remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges, goodwill impairment charges and

losses on early extinguishment of debt. We use Adjusted Net Income for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share. Management uses Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share to assess total company operating performance on a consistent basis. We believe

that this measure, when considered together with our GAAP financial results, provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of our business operating results, including underlying trends, by excluding the effects of the remeasurement of acquisition-

related contingent consideration, special charges, goodwill impairment charges and losses on early extinguishment of debt. Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other

companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, the information contained in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

(1) We define Segment Operating Income (loss) as a segment’s share of consolidated operating income. We define Total Segment Operating Income (loss) as the total of Segment Operating Income (loss) for all segments, which excludes unallocated corporate expenses. We use

Segment Operating Income (loss) for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Segment EBITDA.

(2) We define Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated net income before income tax provision, other non-operating income (expense), depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges, goodwill impairment charges

and losses on early extinguishment of debt. Amounts presented in the Adjusted EBITDA row for each segment reflect the segments’ respective Adjusted Segment EBITDA. We define Adjusted Segment EBITDA as a segment’s share of consolidated operating income (loss) before

depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges and goodwill impairment charges. We use Adjusted Segment EBITDA to internally evaluate the financial performance of our segments because we believe it

is a useful supplemental measure which reflects current core operating performance and provides an indicator of the segment’s ability to generate cash. We also believe that these measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial results, provide management and

investors with a more complete understanding of our operating results, including underlying trends, by excluding the effects of remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges and goodwill impairment charges. In addition, EBITDA is a common

alternative measure of operating performance used by many of our competitors. It is used by investors, financial analysts, rating agencies and others to value and compare the financial performance of companies in our industry. Therefore, we also believe that these measures,

considered along with corresponding GAAP measures, provide management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating results to the operating results of other companies. 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 financial 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.
