Huron Consulting Group Inc. (NASDAQ: HURN), a leading provider of
business consulting services, today announced financial results for the
second quarter ended June 30, 2014.
"Strong second quarter results capped off a solid first half of the year

strong growth," said James
H. Roth, chief executive officer and president, Huron
Consulting Group. "Our business continues to be driven by the
complex and rapidly-changing business environment facing clients across
our primary markets. We expect that these pressures on our clients will
remain or increase during the coming years, and we are encouraged by our
ability in all of our operating segments to continue to provide value to
our clients as they address a difficult array of challenges.”

Operating Segments
Huron’s results reflect a portfolio of service offerings focused on
helping clients address complex business challenges.
The Company’s year-to-date revenues by operating segment as a percentage
of total Company revenues are as follows: Huron Healthcare
(50%); Huron Legal
(26%); Huron Education
and Life
Sciences (17%); and Huron Business
Advisory (7%). Financial results by segment are included in the
attached schedules and in Huron's forthcoming Form 10-Q filing for the
quarter ended June 30, 2014.
Acquisition
On May 5, 2014, Huron completed its acquisition of Vonlay, LLC, a
healthcare technology consulting firm specializing in clinical,
administrative and financial system implementation and optimization.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program
pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, repurchase up to
$50 million of its common stock through February 28, 2015. In the second
quarter of 2014 the Company repurchased 157,850 shares at an average
price of $60.40, totaling $9.5 million. The amount and timing of the
repurchases are determined by management and depend on a variety of
factors, including the trading price of the Company's common stock,
general market and business conditions, and applicable legal
requirements.
Outlook for 2014(7)
Based on currently available information, the Company raises guidance,
which was previously provided on April 29, 2014, for full year 2014
revenues before reimbursable expenses in a range of $805.0 million to
$825.0 million. The Company also raises EBITDA in a range of $151.7
million to $157.7 million, Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $152.5 million
to $158.5 million, GAAP diluted earnings per share in a range of $3.40
to $3.55, and non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share in a range of
$3.25 to $3.40.
Management will provide a more detailed discussion of its outlook during
the Company’s earnings conference call webcast.
Second Quarter 2014 Webcast
The Company will host a webcast to discuss its financial results today,
July 29, 2014, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time (4:00 p.m. Central Time). The
conference call is being webcast by NASDAQ OMX and can be accessed at
Huron Consulting Group’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(6)
In evaluating the Company’s financial performance and outlook,
management uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage
of revenues, Adjusted net income from continuing operations and Adjusted
diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, which are
non-GAAP measures. Management believes that such measures, as
supplements to operating income, net income from continuing operations
and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations and other GAAP
measures, are useful indicators for investors. These useful indicators
can help readers gain a meaningful understanding of our core operating
results and future prospects. 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.

(1) Consists of our full-time professionals who provide consulting
services and generate revenues based on the number of hours worked.
(2) Utilization rate for our full-time billable consultants is
calculated by dividing the number of hours all of our full-time billable
consultants worked on client assignments during a period by the total
available working hours for all of these consultants during the same
period, assuming a forty-hour work week, less paid holidays and vacation
days.
(3) Average billing rate per hour for our full-time billable consultants
is calculated by dividing revenues for a period by the number of hours
worked on client assignments during the same period.
(4) Consists of consultants who work variable schedules as needed by our
clients, as well as contract reviewers and other professionals who
generate revenues primarily based on number of hours worked and units
produced, such as pages reviewed and data processed. Also includes
full-time employees who provide software support and maintenance
services to our clients.
(5) During the second quarter of 2014, we revised the methodology we use
to allocate revenue between our billable consultants and our full-time
equivalents in our Huron Legal segment to better reflect the nature of
the work being provided. Operating data for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2014, as presented above, reflects this change. Operating
data for the Huron Legal segment for the three months ended March 31,
2014 has been revised as follows: full-time billable consultant average
billing rate per hour decreased from $259 to $231, revenue per full-time
billable consultant decreased from $75 thousand to $67 thousand, and
revenue per full-time equivalent was unchanged. The impact on our total
Company results was immaterial.

(6) In evaluating the Company’s financial performance, management uses
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(“EBITDA”), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of
revenues, Adjusted net income from continuing operations, and Adjusted
diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, which are
non-GAAP measures. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures
to gain an understanding of our 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
our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful
period-to-period comparisons. Management also uses these non-GAAP
financial measures when publicly providing our business outlook, for
internal management purposes, and as a basis for evaluating potential
acquisitions and dispositions. We believe 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.

(7) In evaluating the Company’s outlook, management uses Projected
EBITDA, Projected adjusted EBITDA, Projected adjusted EBITDA as a
percentage of revenues, Projected adjusted net income from continuing
operations, and Projected adjusted diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations, which are non-GAAP measures. Management believes
that the use of such measures, as supplements to Projected net income
from continuing operations and Projected diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations and other GAAP measures, are useful indicators for
investors. These useful indicators can help readers gain a meaningful
understanding of the Company’s core operating results and future
prospects without the effect of non-cash or other one-time items.
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.
