Portfolio Positioned for Continued Growth

Board Expands Share Repurchase Authorization

BOSTON, February 13, 2014 — Charles River Associates (NASDAQ: CRAI), a worldwide leader in providing management, economic and financial consulting services, today announced financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended December 28, 2013.

Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 increased to $75.7 million, compared with $67.5 million for the fiscal fourth quarter ended December 29, 2012. Non-GAAP revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 increased to $74.3 million, compared with $66.0 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $3.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share. This compares with a net loss for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 of $53.5 million, or $5.33 per share, which included a net of tax, non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $57.8 million. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $3.7 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared with $4.3 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

The Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $11.9 million, or 15.8% of revenues, compared with $11.0 million, or 16.3% of revenues, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. On a non-GAAP basis, the Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $11.9 million, or 16.0% of revenues, compared with $10.8 million, or 16.3% of revenues, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. For fiscal 2013, non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA increased by 1.6 percentage points to 15.4% compared to 13.8% in fiscal 2012.

A complete reconciliation between revenue, net income/loss and net income/loss per diluted share, and the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, for the fourth quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, and for the full 2013 and 2012 fiscal years, is provided in the financial tables at the end of this release.

Management Comments

“CRA’s fourth quarter performance was driven by companywide utilization of 80% and solid contributions from across our portfolio,” said Paul Maleh, CRA’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We’re pleased that both Litigation/Regulatory and Management Consulting continued to build upon the positive momentum we achieved during the third quarter of fiscal 2013.”

“On a year-over-year, non-GAAP basis, our portfolio delivered 12.6% revenue growth in the fourth quarter. Six practice areas, in particular, delivered even stronger year-over-year revenue growth: Antitrust & Competition Economics, Auctions & Competitive Bidding, Financial Economics, Intellectual Property, Life Sciences, and Transfer Pricing.”

“Selling, general and administrative operations also performed well and helped to improve our efficiency gains during the fourth quarter. On a non-GAAP basis, fourth quarter SG&A expenses, after adjusting for commissions to non-employee experts, decreased to 18.6% from 19.3% a year ago. For fiscal 2013, non-GAAP SG&A expenses, after adjusting for commissions to non-employee experts, decreased to 19.0%, compared with 21.1% in fiscal 2012.”

“As a result of our improved operating performance and collection efforts, cash and cash equivalents increased to $51.3 million as of December 28, 2013, up from $17.9 million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2013.”

Outlook

“On the heels of a strong second half of fiscal 2013, we are encouraged by our prospects for increasing profitability and revenue growth in fiscal 2014, both organically and through strategic hires. We are pleased with the level of lead flow activity and the quality of the conversion rate into revenue generating projects. While we remain cautious about our clients’ spending patterns, the broad-based demand for our services and the solid foundation we have put in place give us optimism that the momentum experienced during the past six months will continue into fiscal 2014,” Maleh concluded.

Share Repurchase Expansion

CRA also announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized an expanded share repurchase program of up to $15.0 million of CRA’s common stock, in addition to the $1.4 million remaining under its existing share repurchase program.

CRA will finance the existing and expanded repurchase programs with available cash. CRA may repurchase shares in open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable insider trading and other securities laws and regulations. The timing and extent to which CRA repurchases shares under these programs will depend upon market conditions and other corporate considerations as may be considered in its sole discretion.

“CRA has the financial resources available to fund the existing and expanded share repurchase program while continuing to execute its corporate strategy,” said Wayne Mackie, CRA’s Chief Financial Officer.

CRA also announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized management to enter into a Rule 10b5-1 plan on behalf of CRA. CRA expects that the plan, once effective, will be in place through the end of 2014. The plan will allow CRA to repurchase its shares at times when it otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or because of self-imposed trading blackout periods. A broker selected by CRA will have the authority under the terms and limitations specified in the plan to repurchase shares on the Company’s behalf in accordance with the terms of the plan. Because the repurchases under the plan are subject to certain pricing parameters, there is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased under the plan, or that there will be any repurchases pursuant to the plan.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, the Company has also provided in this release non-GAAP financial information. The Company believes the use of non-GAAP measures in addition to GAAP measures is an additional useful method of evaluating its results of operations. The Company believes that presenting its financial results excluding certain restructuring costs, certain non-cash expenses, and the results of the Company’s NeuCo subsidiary is important to investors and management because it is more indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating results and financial condition. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in conjunction with, but not as a substitute for, the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and the expected results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those expected results should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Specifically, for the fourth quarter and full-year of fiscal 2013, the Company has excluded NeuCo’s results. For the fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2012, the Company has excluded certain restructuring costs, a non-cash goodwill impairment charge, and NeuCo’s results. In calculating “Adjusted EBITDA” on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, the Company has excluded the following non-cash expenses: depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expenses, and amortization of forgivable loans. The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA on a non-GAAP basis for

the periods presented includes all of the adjustments generally applicable to that period as described above in this paragraph.

Statements in this press release concerning the future business, operating results and financial condition of the Company, and statements using the terms “believes,” “expects,” “should,” “prospects,” “encouraged,” “optimism,” “opportunities,” “momentum…will continue,” “positioned for continued growth,” or similar expressions are “forward-looking” statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based upon management’s current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties. Information contained in these forward-looking statements is inherently uncertain, and actual performance and results may differ materially due to many important factors. Such factors that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements made by the Company include, among others, the Company’s restructuring costs and attributable annual cost savings, changes in the Company’s effective tax rate, share dilution from the Company’s stock-based compensation, dependence on key personnel, attracting, recruiting and retaining qualified consultants, dependence on outside experts, utilization rates, completing acquisitions and factors related to its completed acquisitions, including integration of personnel, clients and offices, and unanticipated expenses and liabilities, the risk of impairment write downs to the Company’s intangible assets, including goodwill, if the Company’s enterprise value declines below certain levels, risks associated with acquisitions it may make in the future, risks inherent in international operations, the performance of NeuCo, changes in accounting standards, rules and regulations, changes in the law that affect the Company’s practice areas, management of new offices, the potential loss of clients, the ability of customers to terminate the Company’s engagements on short notice, dependence on the growth of the Company’s management consulting practice, the unpredictable nature of litigation-related projects, the ability of the Company to integrate successfully new consultants into its practice, the Company’s ability to collect on forgivable loans should any become due, general economic conditions, intense competition, risks inherent in litigation, and professional liability. Further information on these and other potential factors that could affect the Company’s financial results is included in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company cannot guarantee any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievement. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any of its forward-looking statements after the date of this press release.

(1) These adjustments include activity related to NeuCo in the Company’s GAAP results.

(2) During the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2012, the Company incurred pre-tax expenses of $1.0 million and related income tax benefit of $0.3 million principally associated with restructuring actions announced in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, partially offset by $0.6 million of pre-tax credits and related income tax provision of $0.2 million principally associated with adjustments to its leased office space in Chicago, IL and Houston, TX.

(3) As part of its routine annual impairment test in fiscal 2012, the Company determined that it needed to write off a portion of its goodwill.

Approximately $0.2 million of fees were recorded for professional services rendered in connection with the goodwill impairment analysis.

(4) Approximately 100,000 common stock equivalents are excluded from the GAAP results because they are antidilutive in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 due to the net loss, but they are included in the non-GAAP results because they are dilutive based upon the net income.
