Global professional services firm Huron (NASDAQ: HURN) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

“Our first quarter results reflect our ongoing focus on achieving accelerated revenue growth and consistent margin expansion. Revenues grew 12% over the first quarter of 2023 driven by strong growth in our Healthcare segment as well as continued growth in our Education segment, which furthers the segment's multi-year growth trajectory,” said Mark Hussey, chief executive officer and president of Huron.

“Our unique and talented team has established Huron as one of the leading trusted advisors to our clients by delivering with the highest quality and driving innovation to meet our clients' evolving needs. Our culture of collaboration and deep dedication to our clients coupled with our aligned operating model and strong competitive advantage position us well to meet the ongoing demand for our offerings and to achieve our financial goals,” added Hussey.

FIRST QUARTER 2024 RESULTS

Revenues increased $38.1 million, or 12.0%, to $356.0 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $317.9 million for the first quarter of 2023. The increase in revenues was driven by continued strength in demand for Healthcare's Consulting and Managed Services and Digital capabilities, as well as an increase in demand for Education's Digital capability. These increases in revenue reflect the company's focus on accelerating growth in the healthcare and education industries.

Net income increased $4.6 million, or 34.2%, to $18.0 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $13.4 million for the same quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share increased $0.27, or 39.7%, to $0.95 for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $0.68 for the first quarter of 2023.

First quarter 2024 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")(8) increased $2.2 million, or 8.2%, to $28.9 million, compared to $26.7 million in the same prior year period.

In addition to using EBITDA to evaluate the company’s financial performance, management uses other non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude the effect of the following items (in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA(8) increased $4.3 million, or 14.6%, to $33.8 million, or 9.5% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2024, compared to $29.5 million, or 9.3% of revenues, in the same quarter last year. Adjusted net income(8) increased $6.2 million, or 36.3%, to $23.3 million, or $1.23 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $17.1 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, for the same quarter in 2023.

The number of revenue-generating professionals(1) increased 15.8% to 5,803 as of March 31, 2024 from 5,013 as of March 31, 2023. The utilization rate(5) of the company's Consulting capability was 70.2% during the first quarter 2024, compared to 76.3% during the same period last year. The utilization rate(7) for the company's Digital capability increased to 74.3% during the first quarter 2024, compared to 71.0% during the same period last year.

Additionally, Huron returned $62.3 million to shareholders in the first three months of 2024 by repurchasing 624,698 shares of the company's common stock, representing 3.4% of the company's common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2023.

OPERATING INDUSTRIES

The company’s year-to-date 2024 revenues by operating segment as a percentage of total company revenues are as follows: Healthcare (51%); Education (31%); and Commercial (18%). Financial results by operating industry are included in the attached schedules and in Huron's forthcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filing for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

OUTLOOK FOR 2024

Based on currently available information, the company is affirming guidance for full year 2024 revenues before reimbursable expenses in a range of $1.46 billion to $1.54 billion and adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues(8) in a range of 12.8% to 13.3%. The company is increasing its guidance for full year 2024 adjusted diluted earnings per share(8) to a range of $5.60 to $6.10.

FIRST QUARTER 2024 WEBCAST

The company will host a webcast to discuss its financial results today, April 30, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, 4:00 p.m. Central Time. The conference call is being webcast by Notified and can be accessed from Huron's website at http://ir.huronconsultinggroup.com. A replay will be available approximately two hours after the conclusion of the webcast and for 90 days thereafter.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES(8)

In evaluating the company’s financial performance and outlook, management uses EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP measures. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to gain an understanding of the company's comparative operating performance (when comparing such results with previous periods or forecasts). These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management in their financial and operating decision making because management believes they reflect the company's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures when publicly providing their business outlook, for internal management purposes, and as a basis for evaluating potential acquisitions and dispositions. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Huron’s current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose, and in comparing in a consistent manner Huron’s current financial results with Huron’s past financial results. Investors should recognize that these non-GAAP measures might not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance, cash flows or liquidity prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Management has provided its outlook regarding adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share, both of which are non-GAAP financial measures and exclude certain charges. Management has not reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP financial measures because guidance for the various reconciling items is not provided. Management is unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because they cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of the company's control and cannot be reasonably predicted since these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort.

Utilization rate is calculated by dividing the number of hours our billable consultants worked on client assignments during a period by the total available working hours for these billable consultants during the same period. Available working hours are determined by the standard hours worked by each billable consultant, adjusted for part-time hours, and U.S. standard work weeks. Available working hours exclude local country holidays and vacation days. Utilization rates are presented for our revenue-generating professionals who primarily bill on an hourly basis. We have not presented utilization rates for our Managed Services professionals as most of the revenues generated by these employees are not billed on an hourly basis.

In evaluating the company’s financial performance and outlook, management uses earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP measures. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to gain an understanding of the company's comparative operating performance (when comparing such results with previous periods or forecasts). These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management in their financial and operating decision making because management believes they reflect the company's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures when publicly providing the company's business outlook, for internal management purposes, and as a basis for evaluating potential acquisitions and dispositions. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating Huron’s current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose, and in comparing in a consistent manner Huron’s current financial results with Huron’s past financial results. Investors should recognize that these non-GAAP measures might not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance, cash flows or liquidity prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
