Mark Hussey, chief executive officer and president of Huron Consulting Group, discussed the company's fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results during an earnings call on February 24, 2026. He reported that revenues before reimbursable expenses (RBR) grew 11% in the fourth quarter, driven by record RBR in the healthcare and commercial segments, and noted the company achieved 15.7% adjusted income margins in the quarter. Hussey also highlighted margin expansion in the healthcare segment, with operating income margin increasing to 32.4% in Q4 2025 from 30.3% in Q4 2024, and cited revenue growth outpacing increases in salaries and related expenses for revenue-generating professionals. Hussey provided guidance for 2026, projecting 9.5% RBR growth at the midpoint, and stated that the company entered the year with the strongest backlog coverage of its initial annual RBR guidance in the last five years, reflecting strong sales growth in the second half of 2025 and early 2026. In response to a question about share repurchases, he said the company considers valuation on both share purchases and M&A activity, and indicated that recent stock price dislocation from expectations could make it an attractive entry point, suggesting he expected more aggressive buybacks at that price.
