The Company’s year-to-date 2016 revenues by operating segment as a percentage of total Company revenues are as follows: Huron Healthcare (60%); Huron Education and Life Sciences (25%); and Huron Business Advisory (15%). Financial results by segment are included in the attached schedules and in Huron's forthcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filing for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.
Acquisitions
On May 1, 2016, Huron completed its acquisition of the U.S. assets of ADI Strategies, Inc. ("ADI Strategies"), a leading enterprise performance management, risk management, and business intelligence firm focused on implementing the Oracle enterprise application suite. The results of operations of ADI Strategies are included within the Huron Business Advisory segment from the date of acquisition. The Company is also in the process of acquiring the international assets of ADI Strategies in Dubai and India, for which an agreement is expected to be signed in the third quarter of 2016.
On July 25, 2016, Huron entered into an agreement to acquire Healthcare Services Management, Inc. ("HSM Consulting"), a firm specializing in healthcare information technology and management consulting. The results of operations of HSM Consulting will be included within the Huron Healthcare segment from the close date, which the Company anticipates will be in the third quarter of 2016.
Outlook for 2016(7)
Based on currently available information, the Company updates guidance, which includes the recent acquisition of ADI Strategies and the pending acquisition of HSM Consulting, for full year 2016 revenues before reimbursable expenses to a range of $755.0 million to $775.0 million. The Company also updates its earnings guidance and now expects net income from continuing operations in a range of $47.0 million to $50.0 million, EBITDA in a range of $140.5 million to $146.5 million, and adjusted EBITDA in a range of $143.5 million to $149.5 million. GAAP diluted earnings per share from continuing operations is expected in a range of $2.20 to $2.35, and non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations is expected in a range of $3.35 to $3.50.
Management will provide a more detailed discussion of its outlook during the Company’s earnings conference call webcast.
Second Quarter 2016 Webcast
The Company will host a webcast to discuss its financial results today, July 26, 2016, 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. 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.

| (6) | 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 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. |

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. |
