FTI Consulting’s PR revenues declined 8.8 percent to $60.5M during the fourth quarter, while operating income jumped 20 percent to $10.2M.
Mark McCall, who heads the strategic communications unit, told O'Dwyer's he was really pleased with the financial results achieved during a challenging time, noting that his unit reported an “uptick” from the third-quarter results.
FTI’s core PR business performed well, sparked by gains in the healthcare and financial services sectors, according to McCall.
He attributed the sales decline to a fall-off in large-scale transactions and a drop in “pass-through” revenues (advertising, marketing dollars).
