HEIDRICK & STRUGGLES REPORTS STRONG
2005 THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
Consolidated Net Revenue up 19.6 Percent Year-over-Year
CHICAGO (October 28, 2005)—Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSII), the world’s premier executive search and leadership consulting firm, today announced strong financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2005.
Consolidated net revenue in the 2005 third quarter increased 19.6 percent to $109.6 million from $91.6 million in the 2004 third quarter. Net revenue grew in every region compared to the 2004 third quarter, but was especially strong in the Americas. In particular, the Financial Services industry group reported better than expected results that had a significant impact on net revenue. The positive impact of exchange rate fluctuations was less than one percent in the quarter.
Reported net income of $30.4 million and fully diluted earnings per share of $1.58 were significantly impacted by a non-cash tax benefit resulting from the $18.1 million reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance on certain U.S. deferred tax assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 109 and based on the likelihood that the company will realize the benefits from its deferred tax assets, the company determined that a portion of the valuation allowance should be reversed. Excluding third quarter restructuring charges and the tax benefits associated with the reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance, adjusted net income in the 2005 third quarter would have been $14.0 million and diluted earnings per share would have been $0.73. In the third quarter of 2004, adjusted net income was $6.5 million and diluted earnings per share was $0.32, excluding a significant gain from the monetization of Google warrants.

Reported 2005 third quarter operating income of $12.9 million includes $1.6 million in restructuring charges. These charges include the reversal of previously established restructuring reserves related to a property. Excluding the restructuring charges, which management believes more appropriately reflects core operations, third quarter operating income would have improved to $14.5 million, reflecting a 13.3 percent operating margin, compared to third quarter 2004 operating income of $8.2 million and an 8.9 percent operating margin. The year-over-year improvement in operating income and operating margin reflects the initial results of the company’s restructuring plan, the result of cost containment initiatives, and higher net revenue levels.
Thomas J. Friel, chairman and chief executive officer of Heidrick & Struggles, said, “We are very pleased with the improvement in our third quarter results. They reflect the success of our long-term strategy to drive profitable growth—specifically through our revenue producing initiatives and the operating leverage at these revenue levels—as well as the positive outcomes associated with our recent restructuring efforts. We now have a much improved operating platform from which to move the company forward. We see long-term demand for qualified executives and board members who can effectively manage companies through the kind of challenging business and economic conditions prevalent today and we plan to capitalize on this opportunity to grow.”

Consolidated salaries and employee benefits in the 2005 third quarter were $71.3 million, up 18.1 percent from $60.4 million in the comparable quarter of 2004, but declined as a percentage of net revenue to 65.0 percent compared with 65.9 percent last year. The expense increase largely reflects an increase in performance-related compensation accruals from increased revenue levels. Total stock-based compensation expense was $3.9 million for the 2005 third quarter and is expected to be approximately $14.0 million for the 2005 year.
Consolidated general and administrative expenses of $23.7 million increased 3.0 percent in the 2005 third quarter from $23.0 million reported in the same period a year ago. As a percentage of net revenue, consolidated general and administrative expenses declined to 21.7 percent in the 2005 third quarter compared to 25.1 percent in the 2004 third quarter.
As of September 30, 2005, the company employed 306 consultants, reflecting the departure of 10 consultants as part of the company’s restructuring as well as new hires made in the quarter. This compares to 307 consultants employed as of June 30, 2005 and 295 as of September 30, 2004. Consultant productivity increased in the 2005 third quarter as executive search revenue per consultant rose to an annualized rate of $1.4 million, a record level for the firm.
The cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balance at September 30, 2005 was $193.9 million, compared to $222.8 million at December 31, 2004 and $153.7 million at June 30, 2005. A portion of the company’s annual bonus to employees and consultants will be disbursed in the fourth quarter and will affect year-end cash balances. The balance of the bonus payment will be made in the first quarter of 2006. On September 16, 2005, the company announced a $50 million stock repurchase program. No stock has yet been repurchased under this authorization.
Regional Review
Net revenue for the 2005 third quarter grew in every region compared to the 2004 third quarter. Every region also reported a year-over-year improvement in operating margin.

The Americas (formerly reported separately as North America and Latin America) reported net revenue of $65.2 million, up 21.8 percent over the 2004 third quarter. The resulting operating margin of 22.3 percent also improved over the 2004 third quarter operating margin of 21.0 percent. In the Americas, the Financial Services industry group was the largest driver of growth in the third quarter, with the most significant net revenue increase compared to the 2004 third quarter.
In Europe, net revenue of $34.3 million in the 2005 third quarter increased 14.4 percent from the 2004 third quarter, which includes a one percentage point decrease from the impact of exchange rate fluctuations. The improved revenue performance combined with savings delivered by the restructuring in the 2005 second quarter resulted in an improvement in the operating margin from 3.8 percent in the 2004 third quarter to 10.9 percent in the 2005 third quarter. The Financial Services and Industrial industry groups reported the most significant year-over-year net revenue increases.
In Asia Pacific, net revenue in the 2005 third quarter of $10.2 million increased 25.0 percent from the 2004 third quarter, including a 3 percentage point positive impact from exchange rate fluctuations. Net revenue growth was primarily driven by strong performances in the Financial Services and Consumer industry groups. The 2005 third quarter operating margin improved to 26.1 percent compared to 19.8 percent in the 2004 third quarter.
“We believe that we have completed the appropriate actions in our organization to position the company for increasingly profitable growth going forward. In particular our European offices are now operating with a newly appointed management team and an improved business model, with aggressive plans for growth,” Friel said.
Nine Month Results
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, consolidated net revenue was $311.6 million, a 12.6 percent increase from $276.8 million for the first nine months of 2004. The increase includes a positive impact of approximately two percentage points from exchange rate fluctuations. For the first nine months of 2005 reported operating income of $11.5 million includes $22.4 million in restructuring charges. The year-to-date reported net income of $32.3 million and diluted earnings per common share of $1.62 includes $22.4 million in restructuring charges and a non-cash tax benefit resulting from the reversal of a portion of the company’s valuation allowance on certain U.S. deferred tax assets.

Excluding the restructuring charges, which management believes more appropriately reflects core operations, the 2005 year-to-date adjusted operating income would have been $33.9 million, representing a 10.9 percent operating margin. Excluding year-to-date restructuring charges and $18.1 million of non-cash tax benefits associated with the reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance, adjusted net income would have been $34.4 million and diluted earnings per share would have been $1.73. For the comparable nine-month period of 2004, operating income was $21.9 million. Excluding a significant gain from the monetization of Google warrants in the third quarter, net income for the comparable nine-month period of 2004 would have been $17.7 million and diluted earnings per share would have been $0.89.

Outlook
Based on third quarter results, the company has increased its guidance for consolidated net revenue for the 2005 year to be in the range of $409 million to $414 million. At those net revenue levels, and excluding any restructuring charges, the company expects that the full-year operating margin will be approximately 10 percent. Including restructuring charges, the company expects the reported annual operating margin would be approximately 5 percent. The company expects that consolidated net revenue for the fourth quarter will be between $97 million and $102 million. This guidance is based on historical executive recruiting patterns during the holiday season, which are affected by client budget cycles and bonus schedules. The company expects that the fourth quarter operating income will be between $8 million and $10 million.
The company estimates an effective tax rate for the 2005 fourth quarter of between 15 and 20 percent, which continues to reflect an impact from the valuation allowance reversal. In 2006, the company expects to return to a normalized tax rate of approximately 40 percent. As always, the tax rate estimate can be significantly impacted by country-level results, which vary from period to period, and certain discrete items that require recognition in a particular quarter rather than be considered as part of the annual rate.
Friel added, “We are well into our 2006 global budget and forecasting meetings, and expect to provide guidance for 2006 when we release fourth quarter results. Similar to 2005, we will be very prudent with regard to budgeting expenses to follow revenue. Although it is always difficult in this industry to forecast revenue with precision, we believe that our growth initiatives and the steps we have taken in 2005 to improve our cost structure will provide us with opportunities to continue to grow profitably.”
