DEAR FELLOW STOCKHOLDERS: 2011 was an exceptional year for FTI Consulting. We extended our global presence, deepened our pool of talent and delivered strong fi nancial and operational performance across our consulting platform. This past year, we produced 12% revenue growth and 22% growth in adjusted earnings per diluted share1, marking our 29th year of consecutive profi table growth. We also made signifi cant strides in realizing our strategic objective of building the world’s leading event-driven management consulting fi rm. With a rapidly changing legal, regulatory and business environment as a backdrop, the alignment of our professional services will better assist our clients as they seek to protect and enhance the value of their respective enterprises globally. As our clients face turbulence and opportunity in their home markets, venture into new markets in pursuit of higher returns and brace for an accelerating pace of change, FTI Consulting is best positioned to provide the senior advisory services they will require. The challenges and opportunities our clients face are becoming increasingly complex. FTI Consulting’s ability to provide seamless strategic services across multiple geographies and professional disciplines will grow in demand, a trend we are already experiencing. Additionally, as we focus on expanding our global leadership position, we took a bold step in 2011 by completing our One Brand transition. We successfully migrated nearly 30 brands to a single unifi ed global brand, enhancing our ability to present our consulting services to the market in a more powerful and consistent manner. Most importantly, we continued to deliver on our core business objectives in 2011. Success was driven by continued execution of our strategic initiatives, strong performance from our procyclical businesses and the increasing volume of cross-segment and cross-border opportunities that our new matrixed organizational structure generated across the globe. 1 See pages 53-54 of the attached form 10K for consolidated reconciliations of non-GAAP measures, including Operating Income to Adjusted EBITDA and Net In- come and Earnings Per Share to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share, respectively.
