“We are pleased with our year to date operating and financial performance,” stated William M.

The breadth of client demand in each of our four segments is encouraging.

(2) A metrics summary including data by segment is available at www.navigant.com/investor_relations.

Navigant’s Business Consulting Services segment generated RBR of $72 million in second quarter 2011, up 13% from second quarter 2010 and 2% from first quarter 2011. Segment utilization remained a steady 81% on both a year over year and a sequential basis, while average billable FTEs increased slightly to 905 in second quarter 2011, up from 899 in first quarter 2011. Year over year headcount comparisons reflect the Company’s healthcare investments in October 2010. The segment’s healthcare and energy practices represented a combined 74% of second quarter 2011 Business Consulting Services RBR and are expected to continue to drive year over year growth opportunities for the segment.

Navigant’s Dispute and Investigative Services segment reported RBR of $67 million in second quarter 2011, up 12% from second quarter 2010 and 2% from first quarter 2011. Segment operating profit improved to 41% for second quarter 2011, up from 36% in second quarter 2010 and 39% in first quarter 2011. Segment utilization was a strong 81% for the quarter, an increase from 69% in second quarter 2010 and 76% in first quarter 2011. Average bill rate also improved to $314 for second quarter 2011 compared to $300 in second quarter 2010 and $308 in first quarter 2011. Average billable FTEs declined to 562 for second quarter 2011 compared to 642 in second quarter 2010 and 584 in first quarter 2011. Year over year headcount declines were

primarily due to actions taken in late 2010 to realign the segment’s construction disputes practice. Continued credit crisis engagement opportunities, combined with increasing regulatory pressure in the healthcare compliance marketplace and improving demand for construction related disputes services, are driving opportunities for this segment.

Navigant’s Economic Consulting segment generated RBR of $18 million for second quarter 2011, up 9% from second quarter 2010 and 3% from first quarter 2011. Segment utilization was 88% for second quarter 2011 compared to 76% in second quarter 2010 and 79% in first quarter 2011. Average bill rate was $376 for second quarter 2011, down from $385 in second quarter 2010 due to billable hour mix, while up from $371 in first quarter 2011. Average billable FTEs were 121 for second quarter 2011, compared to 119 in second quarter 2010 and down slightly from 130 in first quarter 2011. Antitrust and credit crisis related matters favorably impacted second quarter 2011 results.

Navigant’s International Consulting segment reported RBR of $16 million for second quarter 2011, up 13% from second quarter 2010 and 5% from first quarter 2011. Segment operating profit of $4 million for second quarter 2011 was down 3% from second quarter 2010 and up 8% from first quarter 2011. Consultant utilization was 62% for second quarter 2011, up from 60% in second quarter 2010 and down from 65% in first quarter 2011. Average bill rate was $303 for second quarter 2011 compared to $259 in second quarter 2010 and $313 in first quarter 2011. Improving demand in the global construction and global financial services practice areas drove second quarter 2011 results.

2011 Outlook

Based upon Navigant’s first half performance and outlook for the balance of the year, estimated 2011 revenues, RBR and adjusted EPS are expected to be toward the higher end of previously communicated ranges. As originally stated, these estimated ranges include total 2011 revenues between $715 and $760 million, RBR between $650 and $690 million, and adjusted EPS between $0.70 and $0.77 per share. The outlook for adjusted EBITDA remains unchanged at between $95 and $105 million.

RECONCILIATION OF NON GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(In thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)

Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are included in this press release. In recent years, the Company incurred significant severance expense directly related to its strategic realignment, as well as substantial staffing reductions made to meet weaker market demand primarily during the recessionary period which began at the end of 2008. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income excludes severance and adjusted earnings per share excludes the net income impact of severance in all periods presented. Severance is not considered to be non-recurring, infrequent or unusual to our business, however, management believes providing investors with this information enhances the comparability of the company’s operating performance across periods. While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating Navigant’s 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 Company’s 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 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.
