Insights

The Q3 2024 results demonstrate solid performance with $79.8M total revenue and $77.9M revenue before reimbursements, exceeding guidance. The 4.4% year-over-year growth in core revenue signals healthy business momentum. The adjusted EPS of $0.43 outperformed both guidance and previous year's $0.41.

Two strategic developments are particularly noteworthy: the $20M expansion of share repurchase authorization to $31.1M total and the LeewayHertz acquisition strengthening Gen AI capabilities. The Q4 guidance of $73.5-75.0M revenue and $0.41-0.43 adjusted EPS suggests continued stable performance despite seasonal patterns.

The LeewayHertz acquisition and AI XPLR version 2 release mark significant strategic moves in the Gen AI space. LeewayHertz's integration creates an end-to-end Gen AI consulting capability, positioning Hackett Group to capitalize on the rapidly growing enterprise AI implementation market. This vertical integration should enhance service delivery efficiency and expand market reach.

The timing is particularly strategic as enterprises increasingly seek comprehensive AI transformation partners. This positions Hackett to capture higher-value consulting engagements and recurring implementation revenue streams.

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Hackett Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: HCKT), an IP and platform-based, Gen AI strategic consulting and executive advisory firm that enables Digital World Class® performance, today announced its financial results for the third quarter, which ended on September 27, 2024.

Financial Highlights

  • Total revenue in the third quarter of 2024 was $79.8 million and revenue before reimbursements was $77.9 million, which exceeded the high end of our guidance. This compares to total revenue of $75.9 million and revenue before reimbursements of $74.6 million in the third quarter of the prior year.
  • GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.31 in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to $0.34 in the third quarter of 2023. GAAP Net Income includes non-cash stock compensation expense from our recently approved stock price appreciation equity program of $602 thousand and acquisition related non-cash compensation of $232 thousand, which impacted our GAAP diluted earnings per share results by $0.02.
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.43, which exceeded the high end of our guidance in the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.41 in the third 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.
  • Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company's Board of Directors approved an additional $20.0 million under the share repurchase program to increase our authorization to $31.1 million and declared its fourth quarter of 2024 dividend of $0.11 per share for its shareholders of record on December 20, 2024, to be paid on January 3, 2025.

“We continued to report solid operating results that exceeded our revenue and earnings per share guidance. More importantly, we released AI XPLR version 2 and closed the acquisition of LeewayHertz, a highly recognized Gen AI consulting and implementation firm,” stated Ted A. Fernandez, Chairman & CEO of The Hackett Group, Inc. “We have now created an end-to-end Gen AI consulting and implementation capability to fully support our clients Gen AI journey, which should significantly improve growth prospects in this rapidly emerging area.”

Business Outlook for the Fourth Quarter of 2024

  • The Company estimates total revenue before reimbursements for the fourth quarter of 2024 will be in the range of $73.5 million to $75.0 million.

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.

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.

The market price hurdles include twenty consecutive trading days of equal to or greater than $30, $40 and $50 per share price. As of September 27, 2024, these 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.

(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. The impact of non-cash stock based compensation expense was $0.1 million and $0.7 million the third quarters of 2024 and 2023 and $1.5 million and $2.1 million in the first nine month periods in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The impact of the stock appreciation equity program compensation expense was $0.2 million in both the third quarter and first nine month period of 2024. The impact of acquisition related cash compensation expense was $11 thousand in both the third quarter and first nine month period of 2024. The impact of acquisition related non-cash stock based compensation expense was $61 thousand in both of the third quarter and first nine month period of 2024 and $1 thousand and $3 thousand in the third quarter and first nine month period in 2023, respectively. The impact of the acquisition related costs were $14 thousand in both of the third quarter and first nine month period of 2024. The impact of the legal settlement and related costs were $27 thousand in the first nine months in 2024.
