FTI Consulting works with organizations facing major change, exposure to risk, or complicated disagreements that need outside expertise to resolve. Clients turn to the firm for guidance through restructuring, legal disputes, regulatory questions, and reputational challenges, drawing on specialists who focus on financial, legal, and communications problems rather than one narrow service.

Another covers forensic and litigation consulting, addressing construction and environmental disputes, data analysis, healthcare issues, and investigations. A third, economic consulting, deals with antitrust questions, financial economics, and arbitration between parties across borders. A technology-focused group manages legal operations, e-discovery, data privacy, and cybersecurity matters, while a communications group advises on public image, financial messaging, and public affairs. Customers span many fields, among them aerospace, healthcare, financial services, energy, real estate, retail, and technology.

- What they said
- FTI Consulting reported record second-quarter 2026 revenues (up 5.3% YoY; excluding pass-through revenues up 6.5%) led by CorpFin, Tech, and FLC, with sequential improvement in Economic Consulting. Despite record revenues, adjusted EBITDA declined year-over-year due to higher direct costs (investments in senior talent across CorpFin, FLC, StratCom) and elevated SG&A (higher compensation including some one-time items, increased T&E from an all-SMD meeting, and legal expenses). Management characterized some drivers as temporary (one-time compensation, event-related SG&A) and others as more durable (slower revenue activity in the U.K. and geopolitical disruptions in the Middle East). EMEA produced mixed results—strong performance in Spain and Germany offset by U.K. and Middle East softness. Restructuring revenues grew 8% year-over-year with continued wins on large/complex matters, though overall activity remains uneven. Management reiterated a disciplined capital allocation framework: fund operations, pursue M&A, opportunistic share repurchases, and debt management; they increased the revolver from $900M to $1.5B. Management reaffirmed full-year outlook but left the range unchanged (wider than prior years) due to uncertainty tied to geopolitical issues and seasonal variability, and they expect a second-half pickup in earnings driven by lower SG&A, reduced litigation/legal expenses, improvements in Econ and Tech, share repurchases (WASO impact), and a lower effective tax rate.
- Guidance
- Management reaffirmed the full-year 2026 outlook but did not narrow the range; they expect a strong pickup in earnings in the second half driven by lower SG&A (nonrecurring items), lower legal expenses, improvements in Econ and Tech segments, share repurchases (WASO benefit), and a lower effective tax rate. No specific numeric revisions or new numeric guidance were provided on the call.
- Risks flagged
- Key risks mentioned include geopolitical disruptions in the Middle East, short-term softness in the U.K., uneven/uncertain timing of restructuring activity, legal and litigation expenses (some extraordinary items in H1), and seasonal/quarterly variability in event-driven demand that leads to a wider-than-normal range for second-half outcomes.
