LOS ANGELES, March 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Korn/Ferry International (NYSE: KFY), a premier global provider of talent management solutions, announced third quarter fiscal 2010 diluted earnings per share of $0.11 (excluding a $2.8 million tax benefit) compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.08 in Q3 FY'09 (excluding restructuring charges of $16.8 million and an impairment charge on marketable securities of $15.3 million).  On a GAAP basis, diluted earnings per share was $0.17 in Q3 FY'10, compared to diluted loss per share of $0.52 in Q3 FY'09.

"We are encouraged by our results during the quarter, which included our third consecutive sequential fee revenue increase and a year-over-year fee revenue increase of eight percent," said Gary D. Burnison, Chief Executive Officer of Korn/Ferry International.  "Although our growth rate continues to outpace the industry, the macroeconomic environment remains challenging.  Korn/Ferry, however, is well positioned with $251 million in cash and marketable securities and a clear vision for the future.  We have a focused and differentiated business model, a systematic approach to client service that has been institutionalized throughout our Firm and high caliber colleagues who are helping Korn/Ferry capture market share across the globe."

Fee revenue was $146.8 million in Q3 FY'10 compared to $136.2 million in Q3 FY'09, an increase of 7.8% (or an increase of 2.0% or $2.7 million, on a constant currency basis), which reflects the improving revenue trends in all executive recruitment geographic locations in which we operate.  During the same period, the weighted-average fee billed per engagement decreased by 2.0% (a decrease of 3.3% excluding the impact of exchange rates).  Furthermore, the number of engagements opened increased 28.9% during the period.  The Company experienced a 4.8% increase in fee revenue compared to Q2 FY'10.

Compensation and benefits were $102.7 million in Q3 FY'10, an increase of $8.7 million, or 9.3%, compared to $94.0 million in Q3 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 due to the challenging economic conditions.  Changes in exchange rates impacted compensation and benefits in Q3 FY'10 unfavorably by $5.3 million from Q3 FY'09.

General and administrative expenses were $31.6 million in Q3 FY'10, an increase of $0.6 million, or 1.9% from $31.0 million in Q3 FY'09.  This increase is attributable to a $1.5 million increase in unrealized foreign exchange loss, which was partially offset by a reduction in premises and office expenses.  Changes in exchange rates impacted general and administrative expenses in Q3 FY'10 unfavorably by $1.7 million from Q3 FY'09.

Operating income was $6.4 million in Q3 FY'10 compared to operating loss of $11.3 million in Q3 FY'09, an increase of $17.7 million.  Excluding restructuring charges of $16.8 million incurred in Q3 FY'09, operating income was $6.0 million, an increase of $0.5 million as compared to Q3 FY'09.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Cash and marketable securities were $251.2 million at January 31, 2010 compared to $330.3 million at April 30, 2009.  Cash and marketable securities include $64.5 million and $60.8 million, held in trust for deferred compensation plans, at January 31, 2010 and April 30, 2009, respectively.  Cash and marketable securities decreased by $79.1 million from Q4 FY'09, mainly due to the payment of annual bonuses in Q1 FY'10 and payments on previously disclosed acquisitions in this fiscal year.

Fee revenue was $129.2 million in Q3 FY'10, an increase of $12.6 million, or 10.8%, when compared to revenue of $116.6 million in Q3 FY'09.  On a constant currency basis, fee revenue increased by $6.5 million or 5.6%, when compared to the same quarter a year ago.  Fee revenue increased in all regions due to a 12.5% increase in the overall number of engagements billed and a decrease in the average fee per engagement billed of 1.5% when compared to Q3 FY'09 (a decrease of 6.3% excluding the impact of exchange rates).  

Operating income was $18.5 million in Q3 FY'10 compared to operating income of $5.2 million in Q3 FY'09.  Excluding restructuring charges of $11.1 million incurred in Q3 FY'09, operating income was $16.3 million compared to $18.5 million in Q3 FY'10.

The total number of consultants at January 31, 2010 was 483, a decrease of 14 from January 31, 2009.

    (a) Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude 
        restructuring reductions of $0.3 million and $2.8 million during the 
        three and nine months ended January 31, 2010, respectively (see 
        attached reconciliations).  Comparative results exclude restructuring 
        charges of $5.8 million during the three and nine months ended January 
        31, 2009.
    
    

Fee revenue was $17.6 million in Q3 FY'10, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 10.2%, from $19.6 million in Q3 FY'09.  On a constant currency basis, fee revenue declined by $3.8 million in Q3 FY'10, compared to the same quarter a year ago.  Reductions in fee revenue were driven by an 8.1% decrease in the number of engagements billed and to a lesser extent by a 1.6% decrease in the average fee per engagement billed.

Q3 FY'10 operating income includes reductions in restructuring costs of $0.3 million, which relate to recoveries of premise costs; without such recoveries, operating income would have been $0.2 million.  Operating income was $0.6 million in Q3 FY'10 compared to an operating loss of $8.3 million in Q3 FY'09.

Outlook

Assuming constant foreign exchange rates, Q4 FY'10 fee revenue is likely to be in the range of $145 million to $155 million and diluted earnings per share is likely to be in the range of $0.10 to $0.16.

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 (reductions) charges,
  • adjusted net income (loss), basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, adjusted to exclude restructuring (reductions) charges, certain tax adjustments and an impairment charge on marketable securities 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.
