Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure

 

This Information is being furnished pursuant to Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition, under this Item 9 in accordance with SEC Release No. 33-8216.

 

On July 28, 2004, FTI Consulting, Inc. (“FTI”) announced its financial results for the second quarter and six-months ended June 30, 2004, as well as other information, including operating results by business segment and other developments and guidance. The full text of the Press Release and Financial Tables are set forth in Exhibit 99.1 hereto. The attached Press Release contains some discussion regarding FTI’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and EBITDA by business segment. Although EBITDA is not a measure of financial condition or performance determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, FTI believes that the use of EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure is indicative of FTI’s capacity to service debt and thereby provides additional useful information to investors regarding its financial condition and results of operations.

 

The information included herein, including the Exhibit attached hereto, shall be deemed not to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934 and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, regardless of any incorporation by reference language in any such filing.
