Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

FTI Consulting, Inc. (“FTI Consulting”) intends to use a presentation from time to time in its discussions with investors (the “Presentation”). The Presentation addresses FTI Consulting’s financial results for the year ended December 31, 2011, operating data and past, present and future business drivers. A copy of the Presentation is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and has been posted to the FTI Consulting website at www.fticonsulting.com.

The Presentation includes information regarding adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per diluted share. We define adjusted EBITDA as consolidated operating income before depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and special charges (“Adjusted EBITDA”). We define adjusted earnings per diluted share as earnings per diluted share excluding the per share impact of special charges and debt extinguishment costs that were incurred in that period (“Adjusted EPS”). Although Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are not measures of financial condition or performance determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we believe that these measures can be a useful operating performance measure for evaluating our results of operations as compared from period to period and as compared to our competitors. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are common alternative measures of operating performance which may be used by investors, financial analysts and rating agencies to value and compare the financial performance of companies in our industry. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate and compare the operating performance of our segments. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies unless the definition is the same. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, the information contained in our statements of income. Reconciliations of operating income to Adjusted EBITDA and earnings per diluted share to Adjusted EPS are included in the Appendix to the Presentation.

The Presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are necessarily based on certain assumptions and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s expectations as of February 24, 2012. The Registrant does not undertake any responsibility for the adequacy, accuracy or completeness or to update any of these statements in the future. Actual future performance and results could differ from that contained in or suggested by the forward-looking statements.

The information included herein, including Exhibit 99.1 furnished herewith, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into any filing pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any incorporation by reference language in any such filing, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
