Increases in net income attributable to Korn Ferry and margin, as well as Adjusted EBITDA, were primarily due to an increase in fee revenue, partially offset by increases in compensation and benefits

increase of $15.0 million or 7% (up 5% at constant currency). The year-over-year increase in fee revenue was driven by an increase in the weighted-average fees billed per engagement, resulting from more search work at higher levels. The Company experienced fee revenue growth in all regions.<\/p>\n \nAdjusted EBITDA was $64.0 million in Q4 FY’26 compared to $54.2 million in the year-ago quarter, an increase of $9.8 million or 18% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 26.4%, compared to 23.9% in the year-ago quarter. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily due to an increase in fee revenue combined with lower general and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in compensation and benefits expenses.<\/p>\n Selected Professional Search & Interim Data<\/b><\/p>\n \n(dollars in millions) (a)<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n Fourth

or 14% (up 12% at constant currency). Fee revenue increased due to higher fee revenues in both Permanent Placement and Interim. The year-over-year increase in Interim fee revenue was primarily due to a 15% increase in average bill rate. The year-over-year increase in Permanent Placement fee revenue was driven by an increase in the weighted-average fee billed per engagement.<\/p>\n \nAdjusted EBITDA was $33.9 million in Q4 FY’26 compared to $27.4 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 22.7% in Q4 FY’26 compared to 21.0% in the year-ago quarter. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin was due to an increase in fee revenue, partially offset by increases in compensation and benefits expenses and cost of services.<\/p>\n

In particular, it includes:<\/i><\/p>\n This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for financial information determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company\u2019s results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.<\/i><\/p>\n Management believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures in this press release provides meaningful supplemental information regarding Korn Ferry\u2019s performance by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of Korn Ferry\u2019s ongoing operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures are performance measures and are not indicative of the liquidity of Korn Ferry. These items, which are described in the footnotes in the attached reconciliations, represent 1) costs associated with previous acquisitions, such as legal and professional fees, retention awards and on-going integration expenses, 2) gain on modification of an office lease where the Company received lease incentives to shorten the lease term, 3) restructuring charges, net to align workforce to eliminate excess capacity resulting from challenging macroeconomic business environment, 4) accelerated depreciation associated with the decision to sunset our Digital platform, 5) impairment of fixed assets primarily due to software impairment charge in our Digital segment, 6) impairment of right-of-use assets due to the decision to terminate and sublease some of our offices and 7) management separation charges due to contractual obligations due upon executive’s death. The use of non-GAAP financial measures facilitates comparisons to Korn Ferry\u2019s historical performance. Korn Ferry includes non-GAAP financial measures because management believes they are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its evaluation of Korn Ferry\u2019s ongoing operations and financial and operational decision-making. Adjusted net income attributable to Korn Ferry, adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share and Consolidated and Executive Search Adjusted EBITDA, exclude certain charges that management does not consider on-going in nature and allows management and investors to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company\u2019s operating results. Management further believes that Consolidated and Executive Search Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by investors and other interested parties to measure operating performance among companies with different capital structures, effective tax rates and tax attributes and capitalized asset values, all of which can vary substantially from company to company. In the case of constant currency percentages, management believes the presentation of such information provides useful supplemental information regarding Korn Ferry’s performance as excluding the impact of exchange rate changes on Korn Ferry’s financial performance allows investors to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company\u2019s operating results, to better identify operating trends that may otherwise be masked or distorted by exchange rate changes and to perform related trend analysis, and provides a higher degree of transparency of information used by management in its evaluation of Korn Ferry’s ongoing operations and financial and operational decision-making.<\/i><\/p>\n KORN FERRY AND SUBSIDIARIES<\/b><\/p>\n CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME<\/b><\/p>\n (in thousands, except per share amounts)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n |
