“We reported operating results that exceeded our revenue and adjusted earnings per share guidance while aggressively investing and growing our Gen AI related capabilities and revenues, respectively. More importantly, we will soon release AI XPLR version 3 which provides industry specific dynamic simulation of an enterprise’s Gen AI Solutions across front, mid and back-office areas along with the related multi-AI agent workflows required to build the solutions,” stated Ted A.

We believe this capability makes us a leading Gen AI consultancy firm with highly differentiated software platforms which should significantly improve services and licensing revenue growth prospects in this rapidly emerging area.”
Financial Highlights
Total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $79.2 million and revenue before reimbursements was $77.5 million, which exceeded the high end of our guidance. This compares to total revenue of $72.4 million and revenue before reimbursements of $71.2 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year.
GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.12 in the fourth quarter of 2024, as compared to $0.28 in the fourth quarter of 2023. 2024 quarterly GAAP net income was impacted by non-cash compensation expense recognized in association with the stock price award program announced in September of $5.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted earnings per share.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.47, exceeding the high end of our guidance, as compared to $0.39 in the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted financial information is provided to enhance the understanding of the Company's financial performance and is reconciled to the Company's GAAP information in the accompanying tables.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company provides adjusted earnings results (which excluded non-cash stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related non-cash stock-based compensation expense, legal settlement and related costs and includes a GAAP tax rate) as a complement to results provided in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP results are provided to enhance the users' overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance and its prospects for the future. The Company believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors and by excluding certain expenses that it believes are not indicative of its core operating results. The non-GAAP measures are included to provide investors and management with an alternative method for assessing operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing primary operations and to provide a consistent basis for comparison between quarters. Further, these non-GAAP results are one of the primary indicators management uses for planning and forecasting. The presentation of this additional non-GAAP information should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any results prepared in accordance with GAAP. See the reconciliation of actual results titled “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” in the accompanying tables.
The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial information on a forward-looking basis, including the guidance contained in this release, provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding its anticipated results of operations. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of GAAP measures to corresponding forward-looking non-GAAP measures without unreasonable effort due to the high variability and low visibility of most of the items that have been excluded from these non-GAAP measures. For example, non-cash stock-based compensation expense is impacted by the Company’s future hiring needs, the type and volume of equity awards necessary for such future hiring, and the price at which the Company’s stock will trade in those future periods. In addition, the provision or benefit for income taxes is impacted by non-recurring income tax adjustments, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and the income tax effect of non-GAAP exclusions. The effects of these reconciling items may be significant, as the items that are being excluded are difficult to predict.

| (1) The Company provides adjusted earnings results (which excludes non-cash stock based compensation expense, stock price appreciation equity program compensation expense, acquisition-related cash and non-cash stock based compensation expense, acquisition related costs and legal settlement and related costs and includes a GAAP tax rate) as a complement to results provided in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP results are provided to enhance the users' overall understanding of the Company's current financial performance and its prospects for the future. The Company believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors and by excluding certain expenses that it believes are not indicative of its core operating results.

The presentation of this additional non-GAAP information should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any results prepared in accordance with GAAP. | |||||||
| (2) Non-cash stock based compensation expense is accounted for under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The Company excludes non-cash stock based compensation expense and the related tax effects for the purposes of adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share. The Company believes that non-GAAP measures of profitability, which exclude non-cash stock based compensation expense, are widely used by investors. | |||||||
| (3) The stock price award program compensation expense relates to equity awards that were granted with certain market share price hurdles and service conditions to meet before they are vested. The market price hurdles include twenty consecutive trading days of equal to or greater than 30, 40 and 50 per share price. As of December 27, 2024, the first market condition has been met, however the shares have not vested and are included in the Company's dilutive shares outstanding for the quarter. As of December 27, 2024, the second and third market conditions had not been met and as such the shares have not vested and are not included in the Company's basic or dilutive shares outstanding. Non-cash compensation of 5.1 million and 5.7 million was recorded in the fourth quarter and twelve months of 2024, respectively. | |||||||
| (4) The Company incurs cash and non-cash stock based compensation expense for acquisition related consideration that is recognized over time under GAAP. The Company believes excluding these amounts more consistently presents its ongoing results of operations because they are related to acquisitions and not due to normal operating activities. The acquisition-related non-cash stock based compensation expense is also accounted for under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. | |||||||
| (5) The adjustment for the income tax expense is based on the accounting treatment and income tax rate for the jurisdiction of each item.
