    Karandeep Singhania's questions to Exponent Inc (EXPO) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    Karandeep Singhania from UBS Group AG asked for the growth rate breakdown between proactive and reactive business in the quarter and questioned if the regulatory environment, particularly at the federal level, has improved or worsened.

    Answer

    EVP & CFO Rich Schlenker stated that proactive and reactive growth rates were similar, but highlighted that within the reactive segment, disputes-related work grew a strong 7% year-over-year. CEO Catherine Corrigan addressed the regulatory environment, noting some delays around the edges related to the EPA's chemical work due to staffing turnover, but affirmed that the impact is not significant and clients in areas like medical devices continue to push projects forward.

    Karandeep Singhania's questions to Korn Ferry (KFY) leadership • Q3 2025

    Question

    On behalf of Josh Chan, Karandeep Singhania asked for color on the Q4 margin guidance being sequentially lower than Q3's results and sought to understand the drivers behind the strong growth in North America Executive Search.

    Answer

    CEO Gary Burnison and Executive Robert Rozek both downplayed the sequential margin guidance, noting the difference was minimal and that overall margins remain 'incredibly healthy.' Burnison attributed the strength in North America Executive Search to the success of their strategy combined with macro factors like the 'Peak 65' retirement wave and a persistent cost of living crisis, which are driving C-suite turnover and hiring demand.
