Positive
  • Total revenue of $77.7 million exceeded guidance.
  • Operating cash flow increased to $13.7 million, up from $7.7 million in Q2 2023.
  • Adjusted EPS met the high end of guidance at $0.39.

Insights

The Hackett Group's Q2 2024 results demonstrate steady performance with some positive indicators. Revenue before reimbursements of $75.9 million exceeded guidance, showing slight growth from $75.6 million in Q2 2023. Adjusted EPS remained flat at $0.39, meeting the high end of guidance. Notably, cash flow from operations improved significantly to $13.7 million, up from $7.7 million year-over-year.

The company's pivot towards Gen AI consulting, leveraging their AI XPLR platform, indicates a strategic focus on high-growth areas. This could potentially drive future revenue growth, but may require initial investments. The upcoming release of XPLR Version 2 with enhanced capabilities could be a key differentiator in the competitive consulting market.

Q3 2024 guidance suggests slight sequential softness, with revenue projected between $74.5 million and $76.0 million. However, the stable adjusted EPS forecast of $0.39 to $0.41 indicates effective cost management. The $0.11 quarterly dividend reflects confidence in sustained cash generation.

The Hackett Group's focus on Gen AI consulting and the development of their AI XPLR platform is a strategic move in a rapidly evolving tech landscape. The planned release of XPLR Version 2 with use case simulations and design functionality represents a significant upgrade, potentially offering clients more tangible AI implementation strategies.

This pivot aligns with the increasing demand for AI solutions across industries. By combining their existing consulting expertise with AI capabilities, Hackett is positioning itself at the intersection of business strategy and cutting-edge technology. However, the success of this initiative will depend on the platform's effectiveness and the company's ability to deliver measurable value to clients in AI implementation.

The aggressive pivot mentioned suggests substantial resource allocation to AI, which could impact short-term margins but may drive long-term growth if executed successfully.

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, 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.
(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 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.
(4) The adjustment for the income tax expense is based on the accounting treatment and income tax rate for the jurisdiction of each item. The impact of non-cash stock based compensation expense was $0.7 million in both of the second quarters of 2024 and 2023 and $1.4 million in both of the first six month periods in 2024 and 2023. The impact of the legal settlement and related costs were $27 thousand in the first six months in 2024.
