Fee revenue was $168.7 million in Q4 FY'10 compared to $107.0 million in Q4 FY'09, an increase of 58% (or an increase of 50%, or $53.7 million, on a constant currency basis), which reflects improving economic conditions in North America and abroad and stronger demand for permanent recruitment.  Q4 FY'10 includes fee revenue from the acquisition of Whitehead Mann, which closed on June 11, 2009.  Fee revenue improved globally due to an increase in revenue from all segments of the business resulting from a 45% increase in the number of executive recruitment engagements billed as well as a 13% increase in the weighted-average fee billed per executive recruitment engagement compared to the prior year (an increase of 8% excluding the impact of exchange rates).    Furthermore, the Company experienced a 15% increase in fee revenue compared to Q3 FY'10 as a result of the improving economic conditions.

Compensation and benefits were $118.1 million in Q4 FY'10, an increase of $41.3 million, or 54%, compared to $76.8 million in Q4 FY'09.  This increase is attributable mainly to an increase in the variable component of compensation when compared to the prior year, which was lower than normal in Q4 FY'09 due to the challenging economic conditions.  Changes in exchange rates impacted compensation and benefits in Q4 FY'10 unfavorably by $4.8 million compared to Q4 FY'09.

General and administrative expenses were $28.4 million in Q4 FY'10, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 4% from $29.6 million in Q4 FY'09.  This decrease is attributable to a $2.1 million decrease in the provision for bad debts, partially offset by an increase in business development and marketing costs and unrealized foreign exchange losses.  The decrease in the provision for bad debts is due to a higher than normal provision in the prior year, as a result of the challenging macroeconomic conditions experienced in Q4 FY'09.  Changes in exchange rates impacted general and administrative expenses in Q4 FY'10 unfavorably by $1.5 million compared to Q4 FY'09.

Operating income was $13.6 million in Q4 FY'10 compared to operating loss of $30.3 million in Q4 FY'09, an increase of $43.9 million.  Excluding restructuring charges of $0.1 million in Q4 FY'10 and $25.1 million in Q4 FY'09, operating income was $13.7 million in Q4 FY'10 and the operating loss was $5.2 million in Q4 FY'09, an increase of $18.9 million as compared to Q4 FY'09.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Cash and marketable securities were $296.5 million at April 30, 2010 compared to $330.3 million at April 30, 2009.  Cash and marketable securities include $69.0 million and $60.8 million, held in trust for deferred compensation plans, at April 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Cash and marketable securities decreased by $33.8 million from Q4 FY'09 mainly due to payments on previously disclosed acquisitions in the current fiscal year.

Fee revenue was $150.6 million in Q4 FY'10, an increase of $58.7 million, or 64%, when compared to fee revenue of $91.9 million in Q4 FY'09.  On a constant currency basis, fee revenue increased by $52.4 million or 57%, when compared to the same quarter a year ago.  Fee revenue increased in all regions due to a 45% increase in the overall number of engagements billed and an increase in the average fee per engagement billed of 13% when compared to Q4 FY'09 (an increase of 8% excluding the impact of exchange rates).  

Operating income was $23.1 million in Q4 FY'10 compared to operating loss of $16.1 million in Q4 FY'09.  Excluding restructuring charges of $19.4 million incurred in Q4 FY'09, operating income was $3.3 million in Q4 FY'09 compared to $23.1 million in Q4 FY'10.

The total number of consultants at April 30, 2010 was 473, an increase of 13 from April 30, 2009.

(a) Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude restructuring charges of $0.1 million and restructuring reductions of $2.8 million during the three months and year ended April 30, 2010, respectively (see attached reconciliations).  Comparative results exclude restructuring charges of $5.6 million and $11.4 million during the three months and year ended April 30, 2009, respectively.


Fee revenue was $18.1 million in Q4 FY'10, an increase of $3.0 million, or 20%, from $15.1 million in Q4 FY'09.  On a constant currency basis, fee revenue increased by $1.3 million in Q4 FY'10, compared to the same quarter a year ago.  Increases in fee revenue were driven by a 21% increase in the average fee per engagement billed, partially offset by a decrease in the number of engagements billed.

Q4 FY'10 and Q4 FY'09 operating loss includes restructuring costs of $0.1 million and $5.6 million, respectively, without such charges, operating loss would have been $1.0 million  in Q4 FY'10 compared $2.1 million in Q4 FY'09.  Operating loss was $1.1 million in Q4 FY'10 compared to an operating loss of $7.8 million in Q4 FY'09. Q4 FY'10 operating loss includes $1.2 million in severance costs, excluding severance and restructuring costs, operating income would have been $0.2 million.

Outlook

Assuming constant foreign exchange rates, Q1 FY'11 fee revenue is likely to be in the range of $155 million to $175 million and diluted earnings per share is likely to be in the range of $0.15 to $0.25.  

Earnings Conference Call Webcast

The earnings conference call will be held tomorrow at 9:00 AM (EDT) and hosted by Gary Burnison, Chief Executive Officer, Mike DiGregorio, Chief Financial Officer and Gregg Kvochak, Vice President of Finance.  The conference call will be webcast and available online at www.kornferry.com, accessible through the Investor Relations section.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this press release and our conference call that relate to future results and events ("forward-looking statements") are based on Korn/Ferry's current expectations.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements.  Actual results in future periods may differ materially from those currently expected or desired because of a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond the control of Korn/Ferry.  The potential risks and uncertainties relate to competition, the dependence on attracting and retaining qualified and experienced consultants, the portability of client relationships, local political or economic developments in or affecting countries where we have operations, including fluctuations in exchange rates, risks related to the growth and results of Futurestep, global economic developments, restrictions imposed by off-limits agreements, reliance on information systems, the successful integration of acquired businesses and employment liability risk.  For a detailed description of risks and uncertainties that could cause differences, please refer to Korn/Ferry's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Korn/Ferry disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information calculated other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP").  These non-GAAP financial measures include:

  • adjusted operating income (loss) and operating margin, adjusted to exclude restructuring charges (reductions), net,
  • adjusted net income (loss), basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, adjusted to exclude restructuring charges (reductions) and certain tax adjustments and;
  • constant currency amounts that represent the outcome that would have resulted had exchange rates in the reported period been the same as those in effect in the comparable prior year period.

This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for financial information determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Management believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures in this press release provides meaningful supplemental information regarding Korn/Ferry's performance by excluding certain charges that may not be indicative of Korn/Ferry's ongoing operating results.  The use of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons to Korn/Ferry's historical performance.  Korn/Ferry includes these non-GAAP financial measures because management believes it is useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its evaluation of Korn/Ferry's ongoing operations and financial and operational decision-making.
