Total adjusted operating expenses improved to $536 million for fiscal year 2016, compared with $551 million for fiscal year 2015. Adjusted employee compensation and benefits expenses decreased (6%) to $447 million for fiscal year 2016, as compared with $474 million for fiscal year 2015. The reduction in adjusted employee compensation and benefits expenses was due to our change on October 1, 2015 from a revenue sharing model that historically approximated an awarded compensation ratio of between 67% and 71% to a target adjusted awarded compensation ratio of between 65% and 66%. This resulted in an adjusted awarded compensation ratio of 67% for fiscal year 2016, versus 71% for fiscal year 2015.
Adjusted non-compensation expenses were $89 million for fiscal year 2016, compared with $77 million for fiscal year 2015. The increase in adjusted non-compensation expenses was primarily a result of (i) planned increases in non-compensation expenses as a result of being a public company, and (ii) increases in general operating expenses associated with the significant expansion of the Company’s financial staff.
Total adjusted operating expenses were $136 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, a decrease of (7%) when compared with $146 million in adjusted operating expenses for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015. Adjusted employee compensation and benefits expenses were $115 million for the fourth quarter fiscal year 2016, compared with $129 million for the same three-month period a year ago. The decrease in adjusted employee compensation and benefits expenses was primarily the result of our change on October 1st from a revenue sharing model to a target adjusted awarded compensation ratio. This resulted in an adjusted awarded compensation ratio of 66% for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, versus 72% for the fourth quarter last year.
Non-compensation expenses were $21 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, compared with $17 million in the prior year period. The increase in non-compensation expenses was primarily a result of (i) planned increases in non-compensation expenses as a result of being a public company, and (ii) increases in general operating expenses associated with the significant expansion of the Company’s financial staff.
Segment Reporting for the Fourth Quarter
For the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2016, Corporate Finance revenue was $79 million as compared with $89 million during the same period last year. Revenues were impacted quarter-over-quarter primarily as a result of a reduction in the number of closed transactions given challenging market conditions in the first half of the quarter. CF closed 40 transactions in the fourth quarter, versus 49 transactions in the same quarter last year. Segment profit equaled $24 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with $34 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Profitability was affected due to the corresponding decrease in revenues and higher non-compensation expenses for the quarter, which was partially offset by our change on October 1st to a target adjusted awarded compensation ratio of between 65% and 66%, as described above.

For the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2016, Financial Restructuring revenue was $72 million, compared with $66 million during the prior year period.

Segment profit was $20 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with $12 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in profitability was a result of (i) the corresponding increase in revenues, and (ii) our change on October 1st to a target adjusted awarded compensation ratio of between 65% and 66%, as described above.

For the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2016, Financial Advisory Services revenue was $32 million, compared with $31 million in the prior year period. Strong quarter revenues for FAS reflect (i) continued strong performance for transaction based products despite weakness in the overall M&A markets, and (ii) continued strength in non-transaction based products. Segment profit equaled $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in profitability was a result of (i) the corresponding increase in revenues, and (ii) our change on October 1st to a target adjusted awarded compensation ratio of between 65% and 66%, as described above. FAS generated 538 fee events in the fourth quarter, versus 532 fee events during the same quarter last year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted net income, total and on a per-share basis, and adjusted operating expenses are presented and discussed in this earnings press release and are non-GAAP measures that management believes, when presented together with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors in understanding the Company’s operating results. Adjusted net income and adjusted operating expenses remove the significant accounting impact of one-time charges associated with the Company’s IPO and other matters, as set forth in the tables at the end of this release.
Adjusted net income and adjusted operating expenses as calculated by the Company are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Additionally, adjusted net income is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the Company’s financial information determined under GAAP. For a description of the Company’s use of adjusted net income and a reconciliation with net income, as well as a reconciliation of the specific line items in adjusted operating expenses, see the section of this press release titled “Reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted Financial Information.” Please refer to our financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
