NEW YORK: FTI Consulting’s strategic communications segment has reported a 14.3% increase in revenue in Q3 to $55.1 million.
The firm attributed the revenue increase to a $3.3 million increase in pass-through revenues and higher project-based revenues.
For the company as a whole, Q3 revenue also grew by 14.3% to $513 million, with FTI saying it saw higher demand across all of its business segments. FTI’s Q3 net income was up 37.6% to $44.3 million, due to higher operating profits and a $6.2 million gain, net of taxes, from the sale of the Ringtail e-discovery software and related business.
