Houlihan Lokey Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Financial Results
"Houlihan Lokey continues to see measured improvements in the M&A markets, helping to drive a 9% increase in revenues for our fiscal third quarter when compared to our second fiscal quarter. In addition, we once again distinguished ourselves in the industry. I am proud to announce that in calendar year 2023, we were recognized as the No. 1 M&A advisor globally based on number of completed transactions, the No. 1 restructuring advisor globally based on both the number of completed transactions and value, and the No. 1 most active fairness opinion advisor by volume for the past 25 years, per LSEG. We believe we are well positioned to continue to create long term value for our shareholders as M&A markets improve," stated Scott Beiser, Chief Executive Officer of Houlihan Lokey. Selected Financial Data
Revenues For the third quarter ended December 31, 2023, revenues were $511 million, compared with $456 million for the third quarter ended December 31, 2022. For the third quarter ended December 31, 2023, Corporate Finance ("CF") revenues increased 6%, Financial Restructuring ("FR") revenues increased 30%, and Financial and Valuation Advisory ("FVA") revenues increased 9%, in each case, when compared with the third quarter ended December 31, 2022. Expenses The Company's employee compensation and benefits expenses, non-compensation expenses, and provision for income taxes during the periods presented and described below are on a GAAP and an adjusted basis.
Employee compensation and benefits expenses were $324 million for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared with $289 million for the third quarter ended December 31, 2022. Adjusted employee compensation and benefits expenses were $314 million for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared with $281 million for the third quarter ended December 31, 2022. This resulted in an adjusted compensation ratio of 61.5% for both the third quarter ended December 31, 2023 and the third quarter ended December 31, 2022. The increase in GAAP and adjusted employee compensation and benefits expenses was a result of an increase in revenues for the quarter when compared with the same quarter last year. Non-compensation expenses were $91 million for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared with $83 million for the third quarter ended December 31, 2022. The increase in GAAP non-compensation expenses was primarily a result of an increase in professional fees and rent expense for the quarter when compared with the same quarter last year. Adjusted non-compensation expenses were $82 million for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared with $73 million for the third quarter ended December 31, 2022. The increase in adjusted non-compensation expenses was primarily a result of an increase in rent expense. The provision for income taxes was $32 million, representing an effective tax rate of 31.0% for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared with $21 million, representing an effective tax rate of 24.6% for the third quarter ended December 31, 2022. The increase in the Company's tax rate during the three months ended December 31, 2023 relative to the same period in 2022 was primarily a result of increased state taxes and increased taxes due to foreign operations. The adjusted provision for income taxes was $37 million, representing an adjusted effective tax rate of 30.3% for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared with $26 million, representing an adjusted effective tax rate of 24.6% for the third quarter ended December 31, 2022. Segment Reporting for the Third Fiscal Quarter Corporate Finance CF revenues were $311 million for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared with $292 million for the third quarter ended December 31, 2022, representing an increase of 6%. Revenues increased due to an increase in the average transaction fee on closed transactions, which was driven by transaction mix, and did not represent a trend in the average transaction fee on closed transactions.
Financial Restructuring FR revenues increased 30% to $129 million for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared with $99 million for the third quarter ended December 31, 2022. Revenues increased primarily due to an increase in the average transaction fee on closed transactions, which was driven by transaction mix, and did not represent a trend in the average transaction fee on closed transactions.
Financial and Valuation Advisory FVA revenues increased 9% to $72 million for the third quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared with $66 million for the third quarter ended December 31, 2022. Revenues increased primarily due to an increase in the number of Fee Events. The increase in the number of Fee Events was driven by expanding our scope of work for new and existing clients for one or more of the service lines within our FVA business.

The dividend will be payable on March 15, 2024 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 2024.

Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. You can identify these statements by our use of the words "assumes," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "guidance," "intends," "plans," "projects," and similar expressions that do not relate to historical matters. You should exercise caution in interpreting and relying on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company's control and could materially affect actual results, performance, or achievements. For a further description of such factors, you should read the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Adjusted net income, total and on a per share basis, and certain adjusted items used to determine adjusted net income, are presented and discussed in this earnings press release and are non-GAAP measures that management believes, when presented together with comparable GAAP measures, are useful to investors in understanding the Company's operating results. The adjusted items included in this earnings press release as calculated by the Company are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Additionally, these adjusted amounts are not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to the Company's financial information determined under GAAP. For a description of the Company's use of these adjusted items and a reconciliation with comparable GAAP items, see the section of this press release titled "Reconciliation of GAAP to Adjusted Financial Information." Please refer to our financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
