“We are very pleased with our record financial performance in the third quarter of 2008,” said Irvin E. Richter, Hill’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our acquisitions of Shreeves and Gerens in the first quarter and of Euromost in the second quarter significantly strengthened our project management operations in Europe. These acquisitions, combined with more than 43% organic growth in consulting fees, led to a solid quarter for our company,” Richter added.

Third Quarter 2008 Results

Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 increased 35.9% to $98.1 million from $72.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Consulting fee revenue for the third quarter of 2008 increased 69.6% to $87.3 million from $51.5 million for the prior year quarter. During the third quarter of 2008, the growth in Hill’s consulting fee revenue was comprised of 43.1% organic growth and 26.5% acquisition growth.

Consulting fee revenue at Hill’s Project Management Group for the third quarter of 2008 increased 84.9% to $64.8 million from $35.0 million for the year earlier quarter. That growth consisted of 47.4% organic growth, primarily from the Middle East and North Africa, and 37.5% growth from the acquisitions of John Shreeves Holdings, Ltd. (“Shreeves”) in January 2008, Gerens Management Group, S.A. (“Gerens”) in February 2008 and Euromost Polska Sp. z o.o (“Euromost”) in May 2008.

Consulting fee revenue at Hill’s Construction Claims Group for the third quarter of 2008 rose 36.9% to $22.5 million from $16.4 million for the third quarter of 2007. That growth consisted of 33.8% organic growth largely attributable to increased work in the Middle East and Europe, and 3.1% growth from the acquisition of PCI Group, LLC (“PCI”) in July 2008.

Gross profit increased 55.7% to $38.3 million in the third quarter of 2008 from $24.6 million in the third quarter of 2007. Gross profit margin as a percentage of consulting fee revenue decreased to 43.9% in the third quarter of 2008 from 47.8% in the same period last year due to a higher proportion of consulting fee revenue from the Project Management Group, which has a lower gross profit margin than the Construction Claims Group and from slightly lower gross margins of the businesses acquired during the past year.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses grew 60.4% to $32.6 million in the third quarter of 2008 from $20.3 million in the same period of 2007. The growth in SG&A expenses was due primarily to the inclusion of SG&A expenses of Shreeves, Gerens, Euromost and PCI, increased staffing and office expenses supporting organic growth, a build-up of corporate headquarters staff and expenses in connection with Hill’s recent and anticipated growth and an increase in stock-based compensation. SG&A as a percentage of consulting fee revenue declined significantly to 37.4% in the third quarter of 2008 from 39.5% for the year earlier.

Operating profit in the third quarter of 2008 improved to $7.2 million (or 8.3% of consulting fee revenue) from $5.1 million (or 10.0% of consulting fee revenue) in the comparable prior-year period.

Provision for income taxes in the third quarter of 2008 rose to 26.0% of pre-tax earnings from 21.8% of pre-tax earnings in the second quarter of 2007 due primarily to the shift of profit generated in higher tax jurisdictions.

Net earnings in the third quarter of 2008 increased to $5.2 million (or $0.13 per diluted share based on approximately 41.5 million diluted common shares outstanding) from $3.8 million (or $0.13 per diluted shared based on approximately 29.6 million diluted common shares outstanding) in the third quarter of 2007.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the third quarter of 2008 grew to $8.6 million, an increase of 33.0% from the third quarter of 2007. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management believes EBITDA, in addition to operating profit, net income and other GAAP measures, is a useful indicator of Hill’s financial and operating performance and its ability to generate cash flows from operations that are available for taxes and capital expenditures. Investors should recognize that EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. This measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of EBITDA amounts to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are included in the financial information provided as part of this release.

Total backlog at September 30, 2008 was $667 million, up from $606 million at June 30, 2008. Twelve-month backlog at September 30, 2008 was $312 million, up from $301 million at June 30, 2008.

Hill’s balance sheet at September 30, 2008 reflected cash and cash equivalents of $26.2 million, working capital of $85.2 million, total debt of $7.7 million and stockholders’ equity of $148.8 million.

First Nine Months of 2008 Results

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased 35.2% to $275.9 million from $204.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Consulting fee revenue for the first nine months of 2008 increased 65.2% to $238.7 million from $144.5 million for the prior year period. The growth in Hill’s consulting fee revenue for the first nine months of 2008 was comprised of 40.3% organic growth and 24.9% acquisition growth.

Consulting fee revenue at Hill’s Project Management Group for the first nine months of 2008 increased 82.6% to $173.5 million from $95.0 million for the year earlier period. That growth consisted of 45.3% organic growth, primarily from the Middle East and North Africa, and 37.3% growth from the acquisitions of Shreeves, Gerens and Euromost over the past year.

Consulting fee revenue at Hill’s Construction Claims Group for the first nine months of 2008 rose 31.9% to $65.2 million from $49.4 million for the year earlier period. That growth consisted of 30.9% organic growth largely attributable to increased work primarily in the Middle East and Europe, and 1.0% growth from the acquisition of PCI in July 2008.

Gross profit increased 57.8% to $107.4 million in the first nine months of 2008 from $68.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Gross profit margin as a percentage of consulting fee revenue decreased to 45.0% in the first nine months of 2008 from 47.1% in the same period last year due principally to the same reasons noted above.

SG&A expenses grew 61.7% to $92.0 million in the first nine months of 2008 from $56.9 million in the same period of 2007. Hill’s SG&A expense grew during the first nine months of 2008 compared to the prior year period due primarily to the inclusion of SG&A expenses of Shreeves, Gerens, Euromost and PCI, increased staffing and office expenses supporting organic growth and a continued build-up of corporate headquarters staff and expenses in connection with Hill’s recent and anticipated growth. SG&A as a percentage of consulting fee revenue decreased to 38.5% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008 from 39.4% for the same period in 2007.

Operating profit in the first nine months of 2008 improved to $18.4 million (or 7.7% of consulting fee revenue) from $12.6 million (or 8.7% of consulting fee revenue) in the comparable prior-year period.

Provision for income taxes in the first nine months of 2008 declined to 11.7% of pre-tax earnings from 22.7% of pre-tax earnings in the first nine months of 2007. During the first nine months of 2008, Hill realized a $2.3 million tax credit resulting from the reversal of a prior year’s uncertain tax position and recognized a $1.3 million one-time adverse income tax adjustment in connection with a modification to its cash-to-accrual estimate that was required when Hill became a publicly-traded company in 2006.

Net earnings in the first nine months of 2008 increased to $15.8 million (or $0.38 per diluted share based on approximately 41.3 million diluted common shares outstanding) from $9.1 million (or $0.31 per diluted shared based on approximately 29.2 million diluted common shares outstanding) in the first nine months of 2007.

EBITDA for the first nine months of 2008 grew to $21.8 million, an increase of 42.5% from the first nine months of 2007. Reconciliations of EBITDA amounts to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are included in the financial information provided as part of this release.

Acquisition During the Third Quarter

On July 31, 2008, Hill acquired PCI Group. LLC, a firm that provides scheduling, construction claims, project management support, and software sales and support services throughout the western United States. PCI, which has about 40 employees, is based in Las Vegas and has additional offices in Phoenix, Sacramento, Seattle and Dallas. In 2007, PCI’s unaudited financial results included total revenue of $7.5 million and net earnings of $1.0 million. The company’s total backlog at closing was approximately $3 million.

Subsequent Event

On October 31, 2008, Hill amended its credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., increasing its secured revolving credit facility from $35,000,000 to $60,000,000. The amendment also extended the term of the facility to October 31, 2011.
