      LOS ANGELES, March 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Korn/Ferry International (NYSE: KFY), a premier global provider of talent management solutions, announced third quarter fiscal 2011 diluted earnings per share of $0.30 compared to $0.11 in Q3 FY'10 (excluding a $2.8 million tax benefit and adjustments to previously recorded restructuring charges of $0.3 million).  Including these adjustments, diluted earnings per share was $0.17 in Q3 FY'10.

      "I continue to be pleased with our performance.  The past 90 days brought with it our seventh consecutive quarter of fee revenue growth.  We have rebounded substantially faster than the industry," said Gary D.

      Fee revenue was $186.5 million in Q3 FY'11 compared to $146.8 million in Q3 FY'10, an increase of 27% (or an increase of 28%, or $40.5 million, on a constant currency basis), which reflects increases in fee revenue from all segments of the business driven primarily by an 18% increase in the overall number of engagements billed as well as a 7% increase in the weighted-average fee billed per engagement compared to the year-ago fiscal quarter.

      Compensation and benefits were $126.1 million in Q3 FY'11, an increase of $23.4 million, or 23% (on both an actual and constant currency basis), compared to $102.7 million in Q3 FY'10.  This increase is attributable mainly to an increase in the variable component of compensation when compared to the year-ago fiscal quarter and an increase in worldwide headcount.  Variable compensation was lower in Q3 FY'10 compared to Q3 FY'11 due to the challenging economic conditions in Q3 FY'10.

      General and administrative expenses were $31.5 million in Q3 FY'11 and $31.6 million in Q3 FY'10.  Changes in exchange rates impacted general and administrative expenses in Q3 FY'11 favorably by $0.3 million compared to Q3 FY'10.

      Operating income was $20.5 million in Q3 FY'11 compared to $6.4 million in Q3 FY'10 (or $6.0 million excluding recoveries of previously recorded restructuring charges in Q3 FY'10), an increase of $14.1 million (or $14.5 million excluding recoveries of previously recorded restructuring charges in Q3 FY'10).

      Balance Sheet and Liquidity

      Cash and marketable securities were $303.6 million at January 31, 2011 compared to $296.5 million at April 30, 2010.  Cash and marketable securities include $68.6 million and $69.0 million, held in trust for deferred compensation plans, at January 31, 2011 and April 30, 2010, respectively.  Cash and marketable securities increased by $7.1 million from April 30, 2010, mainly due to cash provided by operating activities partially offset by bonuses earned in FY'10 and paid in FY'11.

      (a)  Adjusted results are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude recoveries of restructuring charges of $0.1 million and $2.8 million during nine months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Adjusted results for the three months ended January 31, 2010 exclude recoveries of restructuring charges of $0.3 million (see attached reconciliations).  There were no adjustments during the three months ended January 31, 2011.



      Fee revenue was $23.4 million in Q3 FY'11, an increase of $5.8 million, or 33%, from $17.6 million in Q3 FY'10.  The improvement in fee revenue was driven by a 16% increase in the weighted-average fee billed per engagement, as well as a 14% increase in the number of engagements billed.

      Operating income was $1.3 million in Q3 FY'11 compared to $0.6 million in Q3 FY'10.  Q3 FY'10 operating income includes recoveries of restructuring costs of $0.3 million which primarily relates to lower facility lease costs than originally recorded; without which operating income would have been $0.2 million.

      Outlook

      Assuming constant foreign exchange rates, stable economic conditions and steady financial markets, Q4 FY'11 fee revenue is likely to be in the range of $183 million to $197 million and diluted earnings per share is likely to be in the range of $0.30 to $0.36.

      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 the following:

      • adjusted operating income (loss) and operating margin, adjusted to exclude charges (recoveries) of restructuring charges, net;
      • adjusted net income (loss), adjusted to exclude charges (recoveries) of restructuring charges, net and certain tax adjustments;
      • adjusted basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, adjusted to exclude charges (recoveries) of restructuring charges, net 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.
