FTI Consulting posts record Q3 2026 revenues of $1.013B and record Adjusted EPS of $3.84, initiates $46M staffing-alignment charge as Compass Lexecon drag lifts

FTI Consulting crossed the $1 billion quarterly revenue milestone for the first time in Q3 2026, with Adjusted EBITDA of $153.7 million expanding 150 basis points to 15.2% of revenue, driven by record success fees in Corporate Finance, record bill rates in both Economic Consulting and FLC, and double-digit top-line growth in Strategic Communications and Technology. Management attributes the inflection directly to the removal of the Compass Lexecon EBITDA drag — which averaged a $22 million year-on-year headwind per quarter over the prior five quarters — rather than to any structural change in strategy or market conditions. A $46 million Q3 special charge and an expected additional $7 million in Q4 reflect targeted headcount reductions of approximately 4% of the workforce, principally in the Middle East, UK, and non-US construction and EMEA transformation practices, expected to yield approximately $80 million in annualized savings.
