Fee revenue was $474.5 million in
Q3 FY'19, an increase of 6% (10% increase on a constant currency
basis) compared to Q3 FY'18. The increase in fee revenue was
due to organic growth in all segments.
Operating income was $62.7 million
in Q3 FY'19 compared to $49.8 million
in the year-ago quarter. Operating margin was 13.2% in Q3
FY'19 compared to 11.1% in the year-ago quarter. The increase
in operating income was primarily due to the increase in fee
revenue, partially offset by an increase in compensation and
benefits expense driven by an increase in average headcount and
performance related bonus expense.
Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.4%, compared to 15.9% in the
year-ago quarter. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA
margin was impacted by the same factors as operating income
offset by lower gains in other income, net due to market movements
associated with marketable securities.

Fee revenue was $193.4 million in
Q3 FY'19, an increase of $13.0
million or 7% (10% on a constant currency basis) compared to
Q3 FY'18. The increase in fee revenue was attributable to
higher fee revenue in the North American, Asia Pacific and Latin American regions.
Operating income was $44.7 million
in Q3 FY'19 compared to $34.4 million
in Q3 FY'18. Operating margin was 23.1% in Q3 FY'19 compared
to 19.1% in the year-ago quarter. The increase in operating
income was due to higher fee revenue in Q3 FY'19 compared to Q3
FY'18, partially offset by an increase in general and
administrative expenses driven by higher premise and office expense
and adversely impacted by foreign exchange losses in Q3 FY'19
compared to gains in the year-ago quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA was $48.2 million
in Q3 FY'19 with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 24.9% compared to
$37.3 million and 20.7%,

Fee revenue was $201.5 million in
Q3 FY'19 compared to $198.1 million
in Q3 FY'18, an increase of $3.4
million or 2% (6% on a constant currency basis) compared to
Q3 FY'18. The increase in fee revenue was primarily driven by
an increase in Consulting Solutions fee revenue across each of our
Advisory businesses.
Operating income was $29.3 million
in Q3 FY'19 with an operating margin of 14.5% compared to operating
income of $27.1 million and an
operating margin of 13.7% in the year-ago quarter. The
increase in operating income was primarily due to higher fee
revenue compared to the year-ago quarter, partially offset by an
increase in compensation and benefits expense driven by the use of
outside contractors and higher commission expense.
Adjusted EBITDA was $38.1 million
in Q3 FY'19 with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.9% compared to
$37.3 million and 18.8%,
respectively, in the year-ago quarter. The increase in
Adjusted EBITDA margin was impacted by the same factors as
operating income offset by decrease in integration/acquisition
costs in Q3 FY'19 compared to the year-ago quarter.

Outlook
Assuming worldwide economic conditions, financial markets and
foreign exchange rates remain steady, on a consolidated basis:
- Q4 FY'19 fee revenue is expected to be in the range of
$485 million and $505 million; and
- Q4 FY'19 diluted earnings per share is likely to range between
$0.85 to $0.93.

"believes", "expects" or "likely", include references to our

liability and regulatory developments, the

economic developments in or affecting countries where we have

risks related to growth, alignment of our cost structure,
restrictions imposed by off-limits agreements, reliance on
information processing systems, cyber security vulnerabilities,
changes to data security, data privacy and data protection laws,
limited protection of our intellectual property, our ability to
enhance and develop new technology, our ability to develop new
products and services, the utilization and billing rates of
our consultants, our ability to successfully recover from a

acquired businesses, employment liability risk, the impact
of rebranding on the Company's products and services; the expected
timing of the Company's rebranding and entity rationalization plan,
and the costs of the Company's rebranding and entity
rationalization plan. 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"). In particular, it includes:
- Adjusted net income attributable to Korn Ferry, adjusted to exclude the tax impact
associated with the Tax Act, restructuring (recoveries) charges,
net, integration/acquisition costs and tradename write-offs, net of
income tax effect;
- Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share, adjusted to
exclude the tax impact associated with the Tax Act, restructuring
(recoveries) charges, net, integration/acquisition costs and
tradename write-offs, net of income tax effect; and in the case of
the outlook section, also adjusted for tax rate impact;
- Constant currency (calculated using a quarterly average)
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;
- EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization and EBITDA margin; and
- Adjusted EBITDA, which is EBITDA further adjusted to exclude
restructuring (recoveries) charges, net, integration/acquisition
costs and tradename write-offs, and Adjusted EBITDA
margin.
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 and other items that may
not be indicative of Korn Ferry's
ongoing operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures
are performance measures and are not indicative of the liquidity of
Korn Ferry. These charges and
other items represent 1) the tax impact associated with the Tax
Act, 2) costs we incurred to acquire and integrate a portion of our
Advisory business, 3) charges we incurred or recoveries we received
to restructure the combined company due to the acquisition of a
portion of our Advisory business, and 4) tradename write-offs
associated with the rebranding plan initiated by Korn Ferry. The use of non-GAAP financial
measures facilitates comparisons to Korn
Ferry's historical performance. Korn Ferry includes non-GAAP financial measures
because management believes they are 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. Management further believes
that EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by
investors and other interested parties to measure operating
performance among companies with different capital structures,
effective tax rates and tax attributes and capitalized asset
values, all of which can vary substantially from company to
company. In the case of constant currency amounts, management
believes the presentation of such information provides useful
supplemental information regarding Korn
Ferry's performance as excluding the impact of exchange rate
changes on Korn Ferry's financial
performance allows investors to make more meaningful
period-to-period comparisons of the Company's operating results, to
better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or
distorted by exchange rate changes and to perform related trend
analysis, and provides a higher degree of transparency of
information used by management in its evaluation of Korn Ferry's ongoing operations and financial
and operational decision-making.

Explanation of
Non-GAAP Adjustments
|
(1)
|
Restructuring plan
implemented in order to rationalize our cost structure by
eliminating redundant positions and consolidating office space due
to a previous acquisition that took place on December 1,
2015.
|
(2)
|
Costs associated with
completing a previous acquisition, such as legal and professional
fees, retention awards and the on-going integration expenses to
combine the companies.
|
(3)
|
The Company is
implementing a plan to go to market under a single, master brand
architecture to simplify the Company's organizational structure by
eliminating and/or consolidating certain legal entities and
implementing a rebranding of the Company to offer the Company's
current products and services using the "Korn Ferry" name, branding
and trademarks. As a result of this the Company was required under
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to record a one-time,
non-cash tradename write-offs.
|
(4)
|
Tax effect on
restructuring charges, net, integration/acquisition costs and
tradename write-offs.
|
(5)
|
The tax impact due to
provisional tax charge recorded as a result of the Tax
Act.
