Debt
Long-term debt outstanding under our senior unsecured bank revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) was $365.0 million and there was no current portion as of December 31, 2025. The Company classified the borrowings under the Credit Facility as long-term debt in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, as we have the intent and unilateral ability to refinance any borrowings on a continuous basis through the maturity of the Credit Facility on November 21, 2027. There was no debt outstanding as of December 31, 2024.
Our second amended and restated credit agreement governing our Credit Facility has a revolving line of credit limit of $900.0 million and a maximum incremental facility of $300.0 million, subject to certain conditions. The Credit Facility was originally guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries and was originally secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of FTI Consulting and such domestic subsidiaries. In October 2024, the Company’s credit rating was upgraded to investment grade by S&P Global. The upgraded rating triggered a Ratings Collateral Release Date under, and as defined in, the Credit Facility. Upon the occurrence of the Ratings Collateral Release Date, the security interests and liens previously granted to the lenders were automatically terminated and released, and the Credit Facility is now unsecured, with only unsecured guarantees being provided by substantially all of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, in the case of: (i) USD, at our option, Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, (ii) euros, Euro Interbank Offered Rate, (iii) British pounds, Sterling Overnight Index Average Reference Rate, (iv) Australian dollars, Bank Bill Swap Reference Bid Rate, (v) Canadian dollars, Canadian Dollar Offered Rate, (vi) Swiss francs, Swiss Average Rate Overnight, and (vii) Japanese yen, Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin that will fluctuate between 1.25% per annum and 2.00% per annum based upon the Company’s Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) at such time or, in the case of USD borrowings, an alternative base rate plus an applicable margin that will fluctuate between 0.25% per annum and 1.00% per annum based upon the Company’s Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio at such time. The alternative base rate is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (1) the Federal Funds rate plus the sum of 50 basis points, (2) the rate of interest in effect for such day as the prime rate announced by Bank of America, and (3) the one-month Term SOFR plus the Term SOFR Adjustment plus 100 basis points.
Under the Credit Facility, we are required to pay a commitment fee rate that fluctuates between 0.20% and 0.35% per annum and a letter of credit fee rate that fluctuates between 1.25% and 2.00% per annum, in each case, based upon the Company’s Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio.

About Debt Disclosures

Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.

Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
