FTI Consulting’s top line growth is influenced by the expansion of its geographic footprint, assisted by international operations. In 2023, 37% of the total revenues were generated by international businesses.

Some Risks
FTI Consulting makes the majority of its investments in hiring highly skilled professionals, and promoting and training individuals. Investments as such are important to improve growth and are likely to benefit the company in the long term. However, escalating investments in people are likely to increase the costs incurred by the company and affect its bottom-line growth at the initial stage.
FCN is vulnerable to foreign exchange risks, as it operates in many countries and derives a significant part of its sales and earnings from Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. Due to this, the appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. dollar versus foreign currencies affects the company’s results.
