HURON CONSULTING GROUP INC.
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information

On December 31, 2015, Huron Consulting Group Inc. ("Huron" or "Company") completed its divestiture of the Huron Legal practice ("Huron Legal") pursuant to a Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement"). Huron sold Huron Legal for gross proceeds of $112 million in cash at closing, before taxes and transaction-related expenses, plus a cash post-closing payment ranging from zero to $22 million contingent upon final full year 2015 financial results, and subject to certain other adjustments set forth in the Agreement. Huron Legal's historical financial results will be reflected in Huron's consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 gives effect to the sale of Huron Legal as if the transaction occurred on September 30, 2015. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 give effect to the sale of Huron Legal as if the transaction occurred on January 1, 2012. The pro forma balance sheet and statement of earnings are hereafter collectively referred to as the "Pro Forma Financial Information." The Pro Forma Financial Information is unaudited and does not purport to represent what the consolidated balance sheet would have been if the sale of Huron Legal had occurred on September 30, 2015, or what the consolidated statements of earnings would have been if the sale of Huron Legal had occurred on January 1, 2012, or what those results will be for any future periods.

The Pro Forma Financial Information is based upon the historical financial statements of Huron and has been adjusted to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the sale, and, with respect to the statement of earnings only, are expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results. The adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions, and therefore, the actual adjustments will likely differ from the pro forma adjustments.

The Pro Forma Financial Information has been derived without adjustment from Huron's historical unaudited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The Pro Forma Financial Information should be read in conjunction with:
The accompanying notes to the Pro Forma Financial Information;
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Huron as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the related notes thereto as presented in Huron's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on October 22, 2015; and
The audited consolidated financial statements of Huron as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 and the related notes thereto as presented in Huron's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 24, 2015.

HURON CONSULTING GROUP INC.
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information

(a) The adjustment reflects the elimination of Huron Legal's assets and liabilities attributed to the disposition.

(b) The adjustment reflects the net cash proceeds, less estimated taxes, received at closing.

$

(c) The adjustment includes the elimination of accrued transaction costs as of September 30, 2015.

(d) The adjustment includes the non-current deferred tax assets generated by the disposal of foreign entities.

(e) The adjustment reflects the write-off of the cumulative translation adjustment ("CTA") for disposed foreign entities.

(f) The adjustment reflects the estimated net loss on the sale of the Huron Legal practice. The actual net gain or loss will differ from the pro forma estimate due to the difference in timing between the assumed closing date for the Pro Forma Financial Information and the actual closing date of December 31, 2015, the consideration received, if any, for the post-closing payment contingent upon final full year 2015 financial results, and the actual tax expense incurred. We have excluded the fair value of the post-closing payment from the net consideration received below as we are unable to estimate the fair value at this time.

For purposes of the pro forma balance sheet adjustment, Huron Legal's weighted average statutory rate of 39.4% was used to calculate the estimated tax on the gain on sale. This rate does not reflect Huron’s effective tax rate, which includes other tax items, such as foreign taxes, as well as other tax charges or benefits, and does not take into account any historical or possible future tax events that may impact Huron.

The estimated additional taxable gain on sale shown above is primarily related to non-deductible goodwill and intangible assets attributable to the disposition.

(2) This balance was not recorded as an adjustment to the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of earnings, as it is a non-recurring charge related to the divestiture of Huron Legal and will not have a continuing impact on the operations of the Company.

(g) The adjustment reflects the elimination of Huron Legal's operating results attributed to the disposition.
