Heidrick & Struggles Reports Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results

HSII

CHICAGO, July 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSII), a premier provider of senior-level executive search, leadership consulting and culture shaping services globally, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2015. 

Consolidated net revenue (revenue before reimbursements) declined 2.2 percent, or $3.1 million, to $133.0 million from $136.1 million in the 2014 second quarter.  Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations which negatively impacted results by $6.9 million, or 5.0 percent, consolidated net revenue increased $3.8 million or 2.8 percent.

Executive Search and Leadership Consulting net revenue declined 1.6 percent year over year, or $2.1 million, to $124.7 million.  Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations which negatively impacted results by $6.8 million, or 5.3 percent, consolidated net revenue increased $4.7 million or 3.7 percent.  The decline was driven by a 22.8 percent year-over-year decline in Europe (10.6 percent decline on a constant currency basis).  Net revenue in the Americas increased 7.6 percent (9.1 percent increase on a constant currency basis) and declined in Asia Pacific 1.1 percent (an increase of 6.6 percent on a constant currency basis).  From a global practices perspective, year-over-year growth from the Healthcare & Life Sciences and Financial Services practices was offset by declines in the other practices.

Net revenue from Culture Shaping services declined 10.5 percent, or $1.0 million, to $8.4 million from $9.4 million in the 2014 second quarter, primarily reflecting the timing of project executions and the recognition of revenue.  The impact of exchange rate fluctuations negatively impacted results by less than one percent.

"On a constant currency basis, net revenue in the Americas grew 9 percent and in Asia Pacific grew almost 7 percent," said Tracy R. Wolstencroft, Heidrick & Struggles' President and Chief Executive Officer.  "Results from Europe were disappointing, with a decline in revenue that was doubled by the negative impact of currency fluctuations.  Improving our business in Europe is a high management priority."   

The company ended the second quarter with 325 Executive Search and Leadership Consulting consultants compared to 311 at June 30, 2014 and 323 at March 31, 2015.  Productivity, as measured by annualized Executive Search and Leadership Consulting net revenue per consultant, was $1.5 million in the 2015 second quarter, compared to $1.6 million in the 2014 second quarter.  Specific to Executive Search, the company's largest business, the number of confirmed searches in the 2015 second quarter increased 3.0 percent compared to the 2014 second quarter, while the average revenue per executive search was $109,700 compared to $117,400 in the 2014 second quarter, predominantly as a result of currency rate fluctuations.

Salaries and employee benefits expense in the 2015 second quarter declined 1.5 percent, or $1.4 million, to $90.7 million from $92.1 million in the 2014 second quarter.  Variable compensation expense declined $2.3 million primarily related to company performance, as well as the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.  Fixed compensation expense increased $0.9 million, mostly related to the increase in headcount, partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.  Salaries and employee benefits expense was 68.2 percent of net revenue for the quarter, compared to 67.7 percent in the 2014 second quarter. 

General and administrative expenses increased 5.5 percent, or $1.7 million, to $33.2 million from $31.5 million in the 2014 second quarter.  The increase primarily reflects the expense related to three regional meetings held in the third quarter and higher professional services incurred primarily for legal fees associated with employee and compensation matters.  The increase in general and administrative expenses was partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. As a percentage of net revenue, general and administrative expenses were 24.9 percent compared to 23.1 percent in the 2014 second quarter. 

Adjusted EBITDA(1)  in the 2015 second quarter was $14.0 million compared to $18.9 million in the 2014 second quarter.  The Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue) in the 2015 second quarter was 10.5 percent, compared to 13.9 percent in the 2014 second quarter.  The year-over-year declines reflect lower net revenue and an increase in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the decline in salaries and employee benefits expense. 

Operating income in the 2015 second quarter declined $3.3 million to $9.2 million, and operating margin (operating income as a percentage of net revenue) was 6.9 percent.  This compares to operating income of $12.5 million and operating margin of 9.2 percent in the 2014 second quarter. 

Net income in the 2015 second quarter was $5.0 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.27, based on an effective tax rate of 45.6 percent in the quarter and a full-year projected tax rate of approximately 45 percent.   In the 2014 second quarter, the company reported net income of $3.8 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.21 based on an effective tax rate of 70.3 percent in the quarter and a full-year projected tax rate of approximately 73 percent. 

Net cash provided by operating activities in the 2015 second quarter was $24.6 million, compared to $29.9 million in the 2014 second quarter.   Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2015 were $119.9 million ($93.4 million net of debt) compared to $123.4 million at June 30, 2014 ($90.9 million net of debt) and $107.6 million at March 31, 2015 ($79.6 million net of debt).

Six Months Results

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 consolidated net revenue of $248.2 million increased 0.4 percent, or $1.0 million, from $247.2 million in the first six months of 2014.  Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations which negatively impacted results by $11.8 million, or 4.8 percent, consolidated net revenue increased $12.8 million or 5.2 percent.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA refers to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, intangible amortization, stock-based compensation expense, compensation expense associated with Senn Delaney retention awards, earn-out accretion expense related to acquisitions, restructuring charges, and other non-operating income (expense).  Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures which the company believes are useful to management and meaningful to investors because they provide insight into the ongoing operating results of the company's core business.  A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided on the last page of the financial statements in this release.

Executive Search and Leadership Consulting net revenue was $231.7 million, essentially unchanged from $231.3 million in the first six months of 2014.  Excluding the impact of exchange rate fluctuations which negatively impacted results by $11.6 million, or 5.0 percent, consolidated net revenue increased $12.0 million or 5.2 percent.  Revenue growth in the Americas of 9.6 percent (approximately 11 percent on a constant currency basis) and in Asia Pacific of 4.0 percent (approximately 11 percent on a constant currency basis) was mostly offset by a decline in Europe of 23.8 percent (approximately 12 percent on a constant currency basis).    From a global practices perspective, growth in the Financial Services, Healthcare & Life Sciences and Industrial practices was mostly offset by declines in the other practices.

Net revenue from Culture Shaping services increased 3.9 percent, or $0.6 million, to $16.5 million from $15.9 million in the second six months of 2014.  Exchange rate fluctuations negatively impacted net revenue by $0.2 million, or about 1 percent. 

Productivity, as measured by annualized Executive Search and Leadership Consulting net revenue per consultant, was $1.5 million for the first six months of 2015, unchanged from the first six months of 2014.  The number of executive searches confirmed in the first six months of 2014 increased 2.5 percent and the average revenue per executive search was $106,300 compared to $109,500 for the same period in 2014, reflecting the negative impact of current rate fluctuations. 

Adjusted EBITDA(1)  for the first six months of 2015 improved to $26.3 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.6 percent, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $24.8 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 10.1 percent for the same period of 2014. Operating income for the first six months of 2015 improved to $15.8 million and operating margin was 6.4 percent compared to operating income of $13.3 million and operating margin of 5.4 percent for the first six months of 2014.

Net income for the first six months of 2015 was $8.4 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.45, reflecting an effective tax rate of 46.4 percent.  Net income for the first six months of 2014 was $3.0 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.17, reflecting an effective tax rate of 77.0 percent.  In addition to the valuation allowance established in the 2014 second quarter, the effective tax rate in 2014 was higher than the statutory rate because of losses incurred that could not be benefitted for tax purposes due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions.

Third Quarter 2015 Outlook

The company is forecasting third quarter 2015 consolidated net revenue of between $130 million and $140 million. This forecast is based on the average currency rates in June 2015 and reflects, among other factors, management's assumptions for the anticipated volume of new Executive Search confirmations, Leadership Consulting assignments and Culture Shaping services, the current backlog, consultant productivity, consultant retention, and the seasonality of its business.

"We continue to grow and improve the talent base within our firm," Wolstencroft said. "We are investing capital to fill targeted industry practice and geographic gaps in order to provide increasing value to our clients as a trusted leadership advisory firm."

^   In the third quarter of 2014, consistent with the Company's practice to periodically review its reporting structure and segments, the Company evaluated its allocation of corporate and support costs to each of its regions. In conjunction with that review, to better align its cost and reporting structure, additional costs were allocated to the regions reflecting the Company's current view of the costs necessary to support the regional operations. The prior period results have been recast to reflect these changes and present comparative year-over-year results.
