HEIDRICK & STRUGGLES REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2006

FINANCIAL RESULTS

CHICAGO (August 1, 2006)—Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc. (Nasdaq: HSII), the world’s premier executive search and leadership consulting firm, today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2006.

Consolidated net revenue of $120.2 million increased 16.3 percent from $103.4 million reported in the 2005 second quarter. The effect of foreign currency exchange in the quarter was negligible. Net revenue grew 14.9 percent in the Americas, 17.9 percent in Europe and 18.9 percent in the Asia Pacific region. The total number of confirmed executive searches was up six percent from the 2005 second quarter, and was up nine percent sequentially, compared to the 2006 first quarter. The number of consultants increased to 335 as of June 30, 2006, compared to 333 at March 31, 2006 and 307 at June 30, 2005. Productivity, as measured by annualized revenue per executive search consultant, improved to $1.4 million and the average fee per executive search increased to $100,000.

Operating income was $15.5 million, representing an operating margin (measured as a percentage of net revenue) of 12.9 percent. This compares to an operating loss of $7.8 million in the 2005 second quarter, which included $20.8 million in restructuring charges. Excluding restructuring charges in both periods, which management believes more appropriately reflects core operations, operating income in the 2006 second quarter was $15.9 million and the operating margin was 13.2 percent, compared to 2005 second quarter operating income of $13.0 million and an operating margin of 12.6 percent. The year-over-year improvements in operating income and operating margin reflect steps taken by the company last year to improve its operating cost structure, as well as the increase in operating leverage inherent in the company’s business model at higher net revenue levels.


Thomas J. Friel, chairman and chief executive officer, said, “We are very pleased with our strong second quarter and solid first half results. This is the highest quarterly revenue we’ve achieved since the second quarter of 2001 and it reflects all our growth drivers at work. We won more search assignments, increased our hiring efforts over the last year, and we focused on improving productivity and achieving higher fees per search. We will continue to thoughtfully manage our investments in hiring and training while driving profitable growth.”

Net income in the 2006 second quarter was $10.4 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.55, reflecting an effective tax rate of 36.0 percent. Share repurchases during the quarter had a less than $0.01 impact on diluted earnings per share. In the second quarter of 2005, the net loss of $5.0 million included $18.5 million in restructuring charges, net of tax, and the loss per diluted earnings per share of $0.26 included $0.95 per share of restructuring charges. Excluding restructuring charges in the 2005 second quarter, net income would have been $13.6 million and diluted earnings per share would have been $0.69, reflecting an 8.1 percent effective tax rate primarily due to a partial reversal of the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

Consolidated salaries and employee benefits expenses were $81.0 million, an increase of 19.0 percent from $68.1 million in the comparable quarter of 2005. As a percentage of net revenue, salaries and employee benefits were 67.4 percent for the quarter, compared to 65.8 percent in the year-ago period. The increase in compensation-related expenses in the 2006 second quarter primarily relates to the increase in the number of consultants who were hired during the last year. The year-over-year increase also reflects the benefit of $1.5 million in the 2005 second quarter related to a change in the company’s compensation plan. Total stock-based compensation expense was $6.3 million during the quarter, compared to $4.5 million in last year’s second quarter. Effective January 1, 2006, the company implemented SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” which resulted in an increase of $0.9 million in stock option expense in the 2006 second quarter.

Consolidated general and administrative expenses were $23.3 million, up 4.0 percent from $22.4 million reported in the year-ago period. As a percentage of net revenue, consolidated general and administrative expenses declined to 19.4 percent from 21.6 percent in the 2005 second quarter. The improvement reflects efforts undertaken to reduce operating expenses in 2005, a continued focus on cost control, and leverage from higher revenue levels.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $30.3 million, compared to $13.0 million in last year’s second quarter when the company initiated a major restructuring. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at June 30, 2006 were $159.8 million, compared to $153.7 million at June 30, 2005, and $158.4 million at March 31, 2006.

During the second quarter, the company repurchased 974,469 shares of its common stock at an average price of $33.74 for total consideration of $32.9 million. Of this amount, $23.8 million was used to complete the $50 million September 2005 stock repurchase authorization. The additional $9.1 million was used to repurchase 271,889 shares at an average price per share of $33.55 under the $50 million stock repurchase program authorized and announced in May 2006. As of June 30, 2006, $40.9 million remains authorized.

Regional Review for the 2006 Second Quarter

The Americas reported net revenue of $68.1 million, up 14.9 percent over the second quarter of 2005, and up 22.1 percent sequentially. Strong results from the Financial Services, Health Care and Consumer industry groups contributed to year-over-year growth in this region. Operating income of $16.1 million was up 1.7 percent over last year’s second quarter and up 64.5% sequentially. The 2006 second quarter operating margin was 23.6 percent compared to 26.7 percent last year, primarily reflecting increased hiring in the period. Consultant headcount in the Americas was 177 at the end of June 2006, an increase of 17 consultants since June 2005.

In Europe, net revenue of $40.5 million increased 17.9 percent from the prior-year quarter and was up 14.3 percent sequentially, driven in both cases by strong performance in the Financial Services industry group. Operating income of $3.9 million was up 224 percent from last year’s second quarter, and up 39.1 percent sequentially. The operating margin of 9.7 percent increased from 3.5 percent in last year’s second quarter, and from 8.0 percent in the 2006 first quarter, reflecting continued cost containment initiatives and higher revenue levels.

In Asia Pacific, record net revenue of $11.6 million increased 18.9 percent from the prior year quarter and was up 12.6 percent sequentially. Year-over-year net revenue growth was driven by continued strong business across the region with especially strong growth in the Industrial, Health Care and Technology industry groups. Operating income of $2.9 million was up 29.4 percent over last year’s second quarter and up 13.9 percent sequentially. The operating margin of 25.1 percent increased from 23.1 percent in last year’s second quarter and from 24.8 percent in the first quarter.

Six Month Results

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, net revenue was $221.7 million, a 9.8 percent increase from $202.0 million in the first six months of 2005. Operating income in the first six months of 2006 was $24.0 million, representing an operating margin of 10.8%, compared to an operating loss in the first six months of 2005 of $1.4 million. Excluding restructuring charges, operating income in the 2006 period was $24.5 million and the operating margin was 11.1 percent, compared to operating income in the 2005 period of $19.4 million with a 9.6 percent operating margin. Net income for the first six months of 2006 was $16.3 million and diluted earnings per share were $0.85, reflecting an effective tax rate of 39.2 percent. For the same period of 2005 net income was $1.9 million, including $18.5 million in restructuring charges, net of tax, and diluted earnings per share were $0.09, including $0.92 of restructuring charges, reflecting an effective tax benefit rate of 21.0 percent.

Confirming 2006 Annual Outlook

For 2006, the company reiterates its annual guidance for net revenue of between $445 million and $465 million, representing growth over 2005 net revenue of between 8 percent and 13 percent. At those net revenue levels the company expects its 2006 full-year operating margin, excluding any changes to estimates in restructuring reserves, to improve to approximately 12 percent. Net income and earnings per share are expected to reflect a full-year effective tax rate of between 38 percent and 40 percent. The quarterly and full-year tax rate estimates can be significantly impacted by country-level results and can vary significantly by reporting period, as well as by discrete items that require immediate recognition in a particular quarter.

Commenting further on the results Friel added, “Our first half results reflect contributions to revenue growth and margin improvement from every region. While our search continues for a new CEO, our management team and I remain focused on achieving our financial and operating objectives for the year.”
