ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
Information furnished pursuant to Item 9.
On January 28, 2004, FTI Consulting, Inc. ("FTI" or the "Company")
issued the attached Press Release announcing the unanticipated departure of a
number of senior managing directors associated with the former FTI/Policano &
Manzo practice, that is expected to lead to a further reduction of current
revenue generating engagements, which reductions were not considered and
reflected in the Company's prior earnings guidance. While the loss of
engagements will impact future results of operations, the Company is still
assessing the client relationships involved and at this time is not in a
position to update its earnings guidance. The Company intends to update its
guidance to reflect the impact of the recent departures when it has adequately
assessed all available information. The full text of the Press Release is
attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The information included in this Item 9, including the Exhibit attached
hereto, shall be deemed not to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the
Securities Act of 1934 and shall not be incorporated by reference into any
filing pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, regardless of any incorporation
by reference language in any such filing.
