Navigants third quarter 2010 RBR was $153 million, down slightly from $155 million in second
quarter 2010 and down from $159 million in third quarter 2009. Year over year comparisons continue
to reflect the wind down of several non strategic practice areas and practitioner departures. The
Companys dispute segment met third quarter expectations, reflecting contributions from the recent
addition of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and anti-money laundering capabilities and service
offerings. Energy practice results grew sequentially and year over year, driven largely by
opportunities related to renewables and energy efficiency. The healthcare and economics teams
delivered solid performances for the quarter but were each down on a sequential basis. Navigants
international segment, including the construction, financial services and public sector teams,
continued to experience soft market demand.
The Companys period end headcount was down slightly from second quarter 2010, and down on a year
over year basis as a result of the aforementioned practice wind downs and practitioner departures.
Headcount is expected to increase during fourth quarter 2010 as a result of Navigants recent
acquisition of EthosPartners, completed on October 1, 2010, and ongoing success in hiring senior
practitioners in the Companys core growth areas. Cost of services (before reimbursements) was
$102 million for third quarter 2010, consistent with the prior year. General and administrative
expenses were $31 million for third quarter 2010, down from $33 million for third quarter 2009.
Days sales outstanding improved slightly year over year to 86 at September 30, 2010 from 87 at
September 30, 2009. Average debt levels declined from one year ago, which, along with the
expiration of certain interest rate hedges as of June 30, 2010, resulted in a significant decline
in interest expense from third quarter 2009.
Third quarter 2010 GAAP earnings per share were higher than adjusted earnings per share due to an
office consolidation benefit resulting from the reoccupation of certain New York office space ($0.9
million pretax), as well as a nonrecurring benefit from a foreign entity tax election ($1.8 million
after tax). Additionally, third quarter 2010 GAAP earnings per share and EBITDA were negatively
impacted by severance costs ($1.4 million pretax).

(2) | In first quarter 2010 the Company repositioned certain service offerings within its four reporting segments. Prior year comparative segment data has been restated to be consistent with the current presentation. A company metrics summary including data by segment is available at www.navigantconsulting.com/investor_relations. |
Navigants Dispute and Investigative Services segment generated RBR of $65 million for third
quarter 2010, up 9% from second quarter 2010 and down 6% from third quarter 2009. Third quarter
2010 results were driven partly by the successful integration of, and contributions from, the
acquisition of Daylight Forensic & Advisory, which was completed on May 14, 2010. Consistent
demand continued in the areas of credit crisis related litigation, commercial litigation and
international arbitration matters. Activity has also increased relative to compliance and
regulatory reviews in healthcare matters.
Navigants Business Consulting Services segment reported RBR of $58 million for third quarter 2010,
down 8% from second quarter 2010 while essentially flat compared to third quarter 2009. The
segments healthcare and energy teams represented 76% of third quarter 2010 Business Consulting
Services revenues, compared to 69% for third quarter 2009 and 72% for second quarter 2010.
Healthcare practice revenues were down sequentially but were up strongly year-to-date. The
Companys healthcare practitioners are being sought for advice on various issues related to the
impacts of healthcare reform. The segments energy practice had a strong third quarter 2010
performance and expects continued demand in areas including Smart Grid related projects, clean
energy technologies and energy efficiency. Additionally, Navigants corporate finance and
valuation businesses reported another strong performance for third quarter 2010.
Navigants International Consulting segment reported RBR of $13 million for third quarter 2010,
down 9% from second quarter 2010 and down 23% from third quarter 2009. Utilization for the segment
was 54% for the period, down from 60% in second quarter 2010 and down from 68% in third quarter
2009. Severe reductions in government spending in the United Kingdom, in combination with a weaker
international construction market, limited new engagement opportunities within the segment.
3
Navigants Economic Consulting segment achieved RBR of $17 million for third quarter 2010,
consistent with second quarter 2010 and up 20% from third quarter 2009. Utilization for the
segment was 69% for the period, down from 76% in second quarter 2010 and down from 81% in third
quarter 2009, reflecting the wind down of several large engagements. The segment is experiencing
solid activity in the antitrust marketplace and has begun to benefit from the contributions of
recently hired senior economists.
2010 Outlook
Navigants fourth quarter 2010 revenues are estimated to be in the range of $180 million to $190
million, reflecting contributions from the recent EthosPartners acquisition as well as growth in
energy, healthcare and economics. Revenues for 2010 are estimated to fall in the range of $700 to
$710 million. Adjusted earnings per share (excluding the net income impact from office
consolidation, severance expense and non recurring foreign tax elections) are estimated to be
between $0.14 and $0.19 for fourth quarter 2010, and between $0.60 and $0.65 for full year 2010.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial information as defined by Securities
and Exchange Commission Regulation G. Pursuant to the requirements of this regulation,
reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial information to the Companys financial statements as
prepared under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are included in this press release.
During 2009, the Company incurred significant severance expense as staffing levels were adjusted
to market demand and Navigant executed its strategic refresh initiative involving the redeployment
of certain resources. The Company also continues to be impacted by office consolidation costs and
benefits due to its real estate initiatives including the impact of closing certain offices and
changes in market conditions associated with expected sublease proceeds. During the quarter ended
September 30, 2010, the Company recorded a non recurring benefit from a tax election related to
certain of its foreign entities. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income excludes the impact
of severance and office consolidation costs and benefits and adjusted earnings per share excludes
the net income impact of severance and office consolidation costs and benefits and the non
recurring benefit from a tax election related to certain of its foreign entities in all periods
presented. Severance and office consolidation costs and benefits are not considered to be non
recurring, infrequent or unusual to our business, however, management believes providing investors
with this information gives additional insights into Navigants operating performance. While
management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating Navigants
operations, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a
substitute for or superior to, any measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted operating income
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is not a measure of
financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company believes
EBITDA provides useful supplemental information for investors to evaluate financial performance.
This data is also used by the Company for assessment of its operating and financial results, in
addition to operating income, net income and other GAAP measures. Management believes EBITDA is a
useful indicator of the Companys financial and operating performance and its ability to generate
cash flows from operations that are available for interest, debt service, taxes and capital
expenditures. Investors should recognize that EBITDA might not be comparable to
similarly-titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income
excludes the impact of severance and office consolidation costs and benefits as discussed above.
This measure should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or
superior to, any measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
