CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 4, 2021-- Global professional services firm Huron (NASDAQ: HURN) today announced financial results from continuing operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

“Our first quarter financial results were in line with our expectations as we saw signs of recovery in our healthcare and education businesses and continued momentum in the business advisory segment. Increases in our sales pipeline and the pace of signings in our healthcare and education businesses, in particular, give us confidence to raise and narrow our full year guidance,” said James H. Roth, chief executive officer, Huron. “We continue to invest in our business to achieve our strategic growth objectives, including managed services, technology and analytics. The disruption facing our clients and primary end markets is substantial, stemming from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the rapidly evolving competitive landscape, and we believe this disruption creates significant opportunities for long-term growth for Huron.”

COVID-19 IMPACT

The worldwide spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has created significant volatility, uncertainty and disruption to the global economy. The company continues to closely monitor the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business, including how it will impact its clients, employees and business partners. In 2020, some clients reprioritized and delayed projects as a result of the pandemic. This negatively impacted demand for certain services, primarily in the company's Healthcare and Education segments. Conversely, the pandemic strengthened demand for cloud-based technology and analytics solutions and certain services provided to organizations in transition within the company's Business Advisory segment.

In most of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, the pandemic continued to negatively impact sales and elongate the sales cycle for new opportunities for certain services, particularly within the company's Healthcare and Education segments. Given the uncertainties around the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company continues to remain cautious about revenue growth for the first half of 2021 compared to the first half of 2020, which is contemplated in the 2021 guidance provided.

FIRST QUARTER 2021 RESULTS FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Revenues were $203.2 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $222.6 million for the first quarter of 2020.

Net income from continuing operations was $5.4 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to net loss from continuing operations of $42.3 million for the same quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.24 for the first quarter of 2021 compared to diluted loss per share from continuing operations of $1.94 for the first quarter of 2020. Results for the first three months of 2020 reflect non-cash pretax charges totaling $59.8 million to reduce the carrying value of goodwill in the company's Strategy and Innovation and Life Sciences reporting units within the Business Advisory segment.

First quarter 2021 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")⁽⁷⁾ was $15.2 million compared to loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $43.7 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):

				Three Months Ended March 31,
				2021				2020
Amortization of intangible assets				$	2,399			$	3,209
Restructuring and other charges				$	628			$	2,458

Transaction-related expenses				$	170			$	—
Tax effect of adjustments				$	(858	)		$	(13,409	)
Foreign currency transaction losses, net				$	403			$	520

Adjusted EBITDA⁽⁷⁾ was $16.5 million, or 8.1% of revenues, in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $19.0 million, or 8.5% of revenues, in the same prior year period. Adjusted net income from continuing operations⁽⁷⁾ was $7.8 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $9.8 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for the same prior year period.

The average number of billable consultants⁽²⁾ increased 1.5% to 2,633 in the first quarter of 2021 from 2,595 in the same quarter last year. Billable consultant utilization rate⁽³⁾ was 68.8% during the first quarter of 2021 compared to 72.9% during the same period last year. Average billing rate per hour for our billable consultants⁽⁴⁾ was $205 for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $204 for the same prior year period. The average number of full-time equivalent professionals⁽⁶⁾ was 328 in the first quarter of 2021 compared to 358 for the same period in 2020.

Healthcare Group Hiring

On April 5, 2021, Huron hired approximately 300 full-time equivalent professionals within its Healthcare operating segment. These additional professionals will expand the company's capacity to provide revenue cycle billing, collections, insurance verification and charge integrity services to its healthcare clients. These professionals will serve new and existing clients in our Healthcare managed services solution, including serving under a short-term contract with an existing client which we entered into in connection with this group hire. The hiring of these professionals is not significant to the company's consolidated financial statements.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

Huron’s results reflect a portfolio of service offerings focused on helping clients address complex business challenges.

The company’s first quarter 2021 revenues by operating segment as a percentage of total company revenues are as follows: Healthcare (39%); Business Advisory (36%); and Education (25%). Financial results by segment are included in the attached schedules and in Huron's forthcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filing for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

OUTLOOK FOR 2021

Based on currently available information, the company is updating guidance for full year 2021 revenues before reimbursable expenses in a range of $850.0 million to $900.0 million. The company anticipates adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues in a range of 10.8% to 11.8% and non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share in a range of $2.35 to $2.75.

Management will provide a more detailed discussion of its outlook during the company's earnings conference call webcast.

FIRST QUARTER 2021 WEBCAST

The company will host a webcast to discuss its financial results today, May 4, 2021, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (4:00 p.m. Central Time). The conference call is being webcast by NASDAQ 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⁽⁷⁾

In evaluating the company’s financial performance and outlook, management uses EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues, adjusted net income from continuing operations, and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, 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 non-GAAP 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 are not provided. Management is unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we 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.

(7)		In evaluating the company’s financial performance and outlook, management uses earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues, adjusted net income from continuing operations, and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, 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.
(8)		As the company reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020, GAAP diluted weighted average shares outstanding equals the basic weighted average shares outstanding for that period. The non-GAAP adjustments resulted in adjusted net income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Therefore, dilutive common stock equivalents have been included in the calculation of adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
