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, or other future financial results, are based upon our expectations at the time we make them and various assumptions. 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.

Q3 2014 Form 10–Q Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Revenues increased $6.1 million, or 6.4%, to $100.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to $94.0 million for the same prior year period.

The increase in revenues was due to increased demand for non-distressed work in our North America businesses and growth in our European transaction advisory and tax practices; partially offset by declines in global bankruptcy and restructuring work.

Gross profit decreased $1.8 million, or 5.0%, to $33.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to $35.6 million for the same prior year period. Gross profit margin decreased to 33.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to 37.8% for the same prior year period.

The decrease in gross profit margin was due to the overall decline on higher margin global bankruptcy and restructuring work and increased performance based compensation, partially offset by increased demand for non-distressed engagements.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased $3.9 million, or 19.9%, to $15.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to $19.4 million for the same prior year period.

Q3 2014 Form 10–Q Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Revenues increased $8.7 million, or 7.7%, to $121.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $113.1 million for the same prior year period.

$3.3 million of this increase, or 2.9%, was due to acquisitions as compared to the same prior year period. Revenues increased organically $5.4 million, or 4.8%, due to higher demand in our North America investigations practice and global construction and disputes practices, partially offset by lower success fees and lower revenues in our heath solutions practice.

Gross profit declined $1.9 million, or 4.3%, to $42.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $44.6 million for the same prior year period. Gross profit margin decreased 4.4 percentage points to 35.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 39.4% for the same prior year period.

The decrease in gross profit margin was due to lower success fees, weaker performance in our health solutions practice and increased performance-based compensation partially offset by higher utilization in our global disputes, investigations, construction solutions and data analytics practices.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased by $3.1 million, or 12.2%, to $22.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $25.4 million for the same prior year period.

Healthcare Economics and Policy offerings

Continue to expand cross-segment collaboration

Q3 2014 Form 10–Q Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Revenues increased $7.4 million, or 6.6%, to $120.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $113.1 million for the same prior year period.

Revenues increased organically $7.4 million, or 6.6%, including a 1.1% increase from the estimated positive impact from foreign currency translation. The remaining increase in revenue is due to higher demand for M&A related services and higher realized rates for our international arbitration services.

Gross profit decreased $3.8 million, or 10.3%, to $33.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $37.1 million for the same prior year period. Gross profit margin decreased to 27.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 32.8% for the same prior year period.

The decrease in gross profit margin was the result of increased compensation expense related to employment contract extensions of certain key senior client-service professionals, partially offset by higher realized bill rates that were partially related to staff mix.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased $4.8 million, or 20.7%, to $18.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $23.2 million for the same prior year period.

Q3 2014 Form 10–Q Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Revenue increased by $11.2 million, or 21.8%, to $62.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $51.2 million for the same prior year period.

The increase in revenue is due to continued higher demand from complex global investigations and financial services industry investigations that more than offset lower services pricing.

Gross profit increased by $3.7 million to $31.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the $27.3 million for the same prior year period. Gross profit margin decreased to 49.7% of revenue from 53.3% of revenue compared to the same prior year period.

The gross profit margin decline is due to an increased mix of lower margin services and investments in global data centers and operations support.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased by $2.5 million, or 16.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $15.4 million for the same prior year period.

Q3 2014 Form 10–Q Management’s Discussion & Analysis

Revenues increased $3.2 million, or 7.5%, to $46.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $43.3 million for the same prior year period.

The increase in revenue included a 2.3% estimated positive impact from foreign currency translation, primarily due to the strengthening of the British pound relative to the U.S. dollar. The remaining revenue increase was primarily due to an increase in project revenues in North America and Asia Pacific.

Gross profit increased $2.3 million, or 15.1%, to $17.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $15.0 million for the same prior year period. Gross profit margin increased to 37.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 34.6% for the same prior year period.

The gross profit margin increase was due to the mix of project engagements.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased $2.6 million, or 63.7%, to $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, from $4.0 million for the same prior year period.

(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

nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 41.0%. The tax expense related to the adjustment for special charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $6.0 million, or a $0.15 impact on diluted earnings per

share. The effective tax rates for the adjustments related to special charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 34.5%. The tax expense related to the adjustment for special charges for the nine months ended

September 30, 2013 was $3.7 million, or $0.10 impact on diluted earnings per share.

(2) The goodwill impairment charge was non-deductible for income tax purposes and resulted in no tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2013.

(3) 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 nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 36.5%. The tax expense related to the remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration for the nine months ended

September 30, 2014 was $0.9 million, or a $0.02 impact on diluted earnings per share. The adjustment related to remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration for the nine months ended September 30, 2013

was not taxable.

(4) For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company reported a net loss. For that period, the number of basic weighted average common shares outstanding equals the number of diluted weighted average common

shares outstanding for purposes of calculating GAAP earnings per share because potentially dilutive securities would be antidilutive. For non-GAAP purposes, the total per share and share amounts presented herein reflect the

impact of the inclusion of share-based awards that are considered dilutive based on the impact of the add backs included in Adjusted Net Income above.

End Notes: FTI Consulting Non-GAAP Data Reconciliations

Beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the definitions of each of these non-GAAP measures have been updated to exclude the impact of changes in the fair

value of acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities. Prior period amounts included herein have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s

presentation.

We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Diluted Share (“Adjusted EPS”) 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 EPS. Management uses Adjusted EPS 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.

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. We define Adjusted EBITDA as consolidated net income (loss) 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. We define Adjusted Segment EBITDA as a segment’s share of consolidated operating income before depreciation, amortization of

intangible assets, remeasurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration, special charges and goodwill impairment charges. We define Total Adjusted Segment

EBITDA as the total of Adjusted Segment EBITDA for all segments, which excludes unallocated corporate expenses. 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.

We define Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin as Adjusted Segment EBITDA divided by the respective Segment Revenues.

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 (Loss).
