CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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.

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.

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. |

Рыночные условия остаются благоприятными для наших основных предложений, и мы считаем, что продолжим добиваться высоких результатов, соответствующих прогнозам, которые мы описали в нашей недавней презентации на День инвестора”, - добавил Рот.

действующие отрасли промышленности
Результаты Huron отражают портфель предлагаемых услуг, направленных на оказание помощи клиентам в решении сложных бизнес-задач.
Выручка компании за первый квартал 2022 года по операционным сегментам в процентах от общей выручки компании выглядит следующим образом: Здравоохранение (47%); Образование (31%); и Коммерческие (22%). Финансовые результаты по операционным отраслям включены в прилагаемые графики и в предстоящий ежеквартальный отчет Huron по форме 10-Q за квартал, закончившийся 31 марта 2022 года.
прогноз на 2022 год
Основываясь на имеющейся в настоящее время информации, компания увеличила прогноз по выручке за весь 2022 год до вычета возмещаемых расходов в диапазоне от 1,00 млрд до 1,05 млрд долларов. Компания ожидает, что скорректированный показатель EBITDA в процентах от выручки составит от 11,25% до 12,25%, а скорректированная разводненная прибыль на акцию без учета GAAP составит от 3,00 до 3,40 долл.
Руководство предоставит более подробное обсуждение своих перспектив во время веб-трансляции телефонной конференции по доходам компании.
веб-трансляция первого квартала 2022 года
Компания проведет веб-трансляцию для обсуждения своих финансовых результатов сегодня, 3 мая 2022 года, в 17:00 по восточному времени, в 16:00 по Центральному времени. Конференц-связь транслируется NASDAQ в Интернете, и доступ к ней можно получить с веб-сайта Huron по адресу http://ir.huronconsultinggroup.com . Повтор будет доступен примерно через два часа после завершения веб-трансляции и в течение 90 дней после этого.
использование финансовых показателей, не относящихся к ОПБУ(7)
При оценке финансовых показателей и перспектив компании руководство использует показатель EBITDA, скорректированный показатель EBITDA, скорректированный показатель EBITDA в процентах от выручки, скорректированную чистую прибыль и скорректированную разводненную прибыль на акцию, которые не являются показателями GAAP. Руководство использует эти финансовые показатели, не относящиеся к GAAP, чтобы получить представление о сравнительных операционных показателях компании (при сравнении таких результатов с предыдущими периодами или прогнозами). Эти финансовые показатели, не относящиеся к GAAP, используются руководством при принятии финансовых и операционных решений, поскольку руководство считает, что они отражают текущую деятельность компании таким образом, чтобы можно было проводить значимые сравнения между периодами. Руководство также использует эти финансовые показатели, не относящиеся к GAAP, при публичном представлении своих бизнес-прогнозов, для целей внутреннего управления и в качестве основы для оценки потенциальных приобретений и отчуждений. Руководство считает, что эти финансовые показатели, не относящиеся к GAAP, предоставляют инвесторам и другим лицам полезную информацию для понимания и оценки текущих операционных показателей и будущих перспектив Huron таким же образом, как это делает руководство, если они того пожелают, и для последовательного сравнения текущих финансовых результатов Huron с прошлыми финансовыми результатами Huron. Инвесторы должны понимать, что эти показатели, не относящиеся к GAAP, могут быть несопоставимы с аналогичными показателями других компаний. Эти показатели следует рассматривать в дополнение, а не в качестве замены или превосходства каких-либо показателей эффективности, движения денежных средств или ликвидности, подготовленных в соответствии с принципами бухгалтерского учета, общепринятыми в Соединенных Штатах.
Руководство представило свой прогноз относительно скорректированной EBITDA и скорректированной разводненной прибыли на акцию, которые являются финансовыми показателями, не относящимися к GAAP, и исключают определенные расходы. Руководство не согласовало эти финансовые показатели, не относящиеся к ОПБУ, с соответствующими финансовыми показателями ОПБУ, поскольку не предоставлены рекомендации по различным статьям выверки. Руководство не может дать рекомендации по этим статьям выверки, поскольку оно не может определить их вероятную значимость, поскольку некоторые статьи находятся вне контроля компании и не могут быть разумно предсказаны, поскольку эти статьи могут значительно варьироваться от периода к периоду. Соответственно, сверка с соответствующими финансовыми показателями GAAP невозможна без неоправданных усилий.

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. |
