Total revenues for the Company were $204.8 million for fourth quarter 2013 compared to $218.9 million for fourth quarter 2012. Net income from continuing operations for fourth quarter 2013 increased 8% to $14.2 million, or $0.28 per share, compared to $13.2 million, or $0.26 per share, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted EPS was $0.25 for fourth quarter 2013 compared to $0.29 for fourth quarter 2012. Adjusted EBITDA was $29.8 million for fourth quarter 2013 compared to $33.0 million for the same period in 2012. Adjusted EBITDA margin (adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of RBR) was 17% for fourth quarter 2013.
RBR for the full year 2013 improved 2% on a year-over-year basis to $734.4 million compared to $722.2 million for 2012. Total revenues for the Company also improved 2% on a year-over-year basis to $835.6 million for the full year 2013 compared to $818.2 million for the prior year.

Adjusted EBITDA improved 14% on a year-over-year basis to $124.1 million for full year 2013 compared to $108.7 million in 2012. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 17% for full year 2013, a two percentage point improvement over 2012. A 10% reduction in general and administrative expenses for full year 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to lower bad debt expense, contributed to the margin improvement.
“In 2013, we focused on delivering a higher level of operating performance, reinforcing our strong financial foundation and investing in our capabilities to drive future growth,” commented Julie Howard, Chief Executive Officer. “We realized significant progress on our key goals highlighted by our full year revenue and earnings gains, margin expansion, strengthened balance sheet and enhanced shareholder value. While fourth quarter top-line performance primarily reflects a timing imbalance on the start-up and wind-down of certain engagements, we expect to build upon the operating, financial and strategic disciplines we implemented in 2013 to benefit company performance in 2014.”

Healthcare RBR increased 6% year-over-year for fourth quarter 2013 with a 1% increase in segment operating profit compared to fourth quarter 2012. RBR growth in the quarter was tempered by the wind-down of a large engagement and smaller performance-based fees compared to fourth quarter 2012. For the full year 2013, Healthcare RBR increased 21% compared to 2012 with a 33% increase in segment operating profit year-over-year. All of the fourth quarter RBR increase and approximately two-thirds of the full year increase was organic. Segment growth for the fourth quarter and full year was driven by expanding market demand throughout the healthcare industry which is expected to continue in 2014.
Financial, Risk & Compliance RBR for fourth quarter 2013 decreased 2% compared to the prior year quarter with a 9% decline in segment operating profit compared to fourth quarter 2012. Segment performance reflects the expected reduced contribution from the mortgage servicing review engagements partially offset by strength from services related to anti-money laundering regulatory compliance. For the full year 2013, Financial, Risk & Compliance RBR increased 10% compared to the prior year and 2013 segment operating profit increased 12% compared to 2012.
3
Energy RBR for fourth quarter 2013 decreased 4% and segment operating profit decreased 19% compared to fourth quarter 2012. Segment performance reflects lower contribution from energy research services and the adverse impact resulting from the report issued by the Moreland Commission in New York State in late June 2013. On November 27, 2013, the Company reported that the United States Attorney’s Office closed its investigation into the issues raised in the Moreland Commission Report with no indication of wrongdoing on the part of Navigant or any of its employees. Full year 2013 Energy RBR increased 5% compared to 2012 and segment operating profit for 2013 decreased 1% compared to 2012.
Disputes, Investigations & Economics RBR declined 14% for fourth quarter 2013 with a 29% decline in segment operating profit compared to the same period of 2012. Segment performance year-over-year was primarily attributable to the sale of a portion of the Economics practice early in 2013 and lower contribution from forensic accounting engagements. Full year 2013 Disputes, Investigations & Economics RBR decreased 11% compared to 2012 and segment operating profit for 2013 decreased 19% compared to 2012.
Cash Flow
Free cash flow was $15.2 million for fourth quarter 2013 compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2012. For the full year, free cash flow was $78.8 million for 2013 compared to $57.3 million for 2012, a year-over-year improvement of 38%. Strong fourth quarter cash collections improved DSO to 65 days at 2013 year-end compared to 72 days at the end of 2012.
The Company used $53.7 million of cash to pay down bank debt during fourth quarter 2013. Year-end bank debt was 58% lower than the prior year level at $56.7 million at December 31, 2013 compared to $134.2 million at December 31, 2012. Leverage (bank debt divided by trailing twelve month adjusted EBITDA) improved to 0.46 at December 31, 2013 compared to 1.23 at December 31, 2012.
Navigant repurchased 339,315 shares of common stock during fourth quarter 2013 at an aggregate cost of $6.0 million and an average cost of $17.69 per share. For the full year, the Company repurchased approximately 2.1 million shares at an aggregate cost of $28.3 million and an average cost of $13.76 per share. As of December 31, 2013, $50.2 million remained on the Company’s share repurchase authorization.
The Company announced today an increase in its share repurchase authorization and an extension of the authorization through December 31, 2015. After giving effect to this increase and extension, approximately $100 million is available for share repurchases under the authorization for the two year period ending December 31, 2015.
Lucinda (Cindy) Baier, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Our focus on profitability improvement and better working capital management yielded several positive results including double-digit adjusted EBITDA growth, significant margin expansion, and improved collections on receivables. The resulting increase in free cash flows enabled us to
4
pursue our strategic objectives while further strengthening our balance sheet and returning $28.3 million of capital to our shareholders through our share repurchase program.”
2014 Outlook
Full year 2014 RBR is expected to range between $735 and $775 million while 2014 total revenues are estimated to be between $810 and $850 million. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to range between $120 and $130 million and adjusted EPS is estimated to be between $1.03 and $1.13.

(Unaudited)
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Below are the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for, or superior to, any measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to GAAP financial measures to assess the Company’s operations and financial results and believes they are useful indicators of operating performance and the Company’s ability to generate cash flows from operations that are available for interest, debt service, taxes and capital expenditures. Investors should recognize that these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies.

Footnotes
(1) | Per share data may not sum due to rounding. |
(2) | During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the United Kingdom financial services advisory business was sold. The results of operations from this business are presented as discontinued operations. Prior period information has been reclassified to reflect this change. All non-GAAP financial measures are presented on a continuing operations basis unless otherwise noted. |
(3) | EBITDA is earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of severance expense and other operating costs (benefit). Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share exclude the net income and per share net income impact of discontinued operations, severance expense and other operating costs (benefit). Severance expense and other operating costs (benefit) are not considered to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual to our business. Management believes that these measures provide investors with enhanced comparability of the Company’s results of operations across periods. |
(4) | Effective income tax expense (benefit) has been determined based on specific tax jurisdiction. |
(5) | Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided from operations excluding changes in assets and liabilities and allowance for doubtful accounts receivable less cash payments for property and equipment and deferred acquisition related payments. Free cash flow does not represent discretionary cash available for spending as it excludes certain contractual obligations such as debt repayment. However, management believes that it provides investors with an indicator of cash flows available for on-going business operations and long term value creation. |
(6) | Leverage ratio is calculated as bank debt at the end of the period divided by adjusted EBITDA for the prior twelve-month period. Management believes that leverage ratio provides investors with an indicator of the cash flows available to repay the Company’s debt obligations. |
