Global professional services firm Huron (NASDAQ: HURN) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

“Our strong first quarter results reflect the continued momentum that started in early 2021 and resulted in growth in all three of our operating segments,” said James H. Roth, chief executive officer of Huron. “Revenues grew 28% over the prior year quarter, reflective of the significant growth opportunities in each of our core industries.”

“Demand for our healthcare and education industry offerings and our digital, strategy and financial advisory capabilities remains strong, enabling us to increase our annual revenue and earnings guidance. Market conditions remain favorable for our core offerings, and we believe that we will continue to achieve strong results consistent with the outlook we described in our recent Investor Day presentation,” added Roth.

FIRST QUARTER 2022 RESULTS

Revenues increased $56.8 million, or 28.0%, to $260.0 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $203.2 million for the first quarter of 2021.

Net income increased $21.4 million to $26.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $5.4 million for the same quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share increased $1.03 to $1.27 for the first quarter of 2022, compared to $0.24 for the first quarter of 2021. Results for the first quarter of 2022 include an unrealized gain of $19.8 million, net of tax, related to the increase in fair value of the company's investment in a hospital-at-home company.

First quarter 2022 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")(7) increased $32.2 million to $47.4 million, compared $15.2 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):

OPERATING INDUSTRIES

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

The company’s first quarter 2022 revenues by operating segment as a percentage of total company revenues are as follows: Healthcare (47%); Education (31%); and Commercial (22%). Financial results by operating industry are included in the attached schedules and in Huron's forthcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filing for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

OUTLOOK FOR 2022

Based on currently available information, the company increased guidance for full year 2022 revenues before reimbursable expenses to a range of $1.00 billion to $1.05 billion. The company anticipates adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues in a range of 11.25% to 12.25% and non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share in a range of $3.00 to $3.40.

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

FIRST QUARTER 2022 WEBCAST

The company will host a webcast to discuss its financial results today, May 3, 2022, 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, and adjusted diluted earnings per share, 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 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 is not provided. Management is unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because they 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.

Utilization rate is calculated by dividing the number of hours our billable consultants worked on client assignments during a period by the total available working hours for these billable consultants during the same period. Available hours are determined by the standard hours worked by each billable consultant, adjusted for part-time hours, and U.S. standard work weeks. Available working hours exclude local country holidays and vacation days. Utilization rates are presented for our revenue-generating professionals who primarily bill on an hourly basis. We have not presented utilization rates for our Managed Services professionals as most of the revenues generated by these employees are not billed on an hourly basis.

In evaluating the company’s financial performance and outlook, management uses earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share, 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.
