In Q4 2024, the increase in cash and cash equivalents—from **$555,532 thousand** in Q3  **[0001302215-24-000005_hli-20231231.htm:3]**  to **$799,340 thousand** in Q4  **[0001302215-25-000007_hli-20241231.htm:3]** —was primarily driven by strong operating cash flows. Specifically, net cash provided by operating activities reached **$328,458 thousand** due to robust net income of **$280,301 thousand** along with significant non‐cash charges of **$244,524 thousand**. These operating inflows more than offset the cash used in investing activities (a use of **$(70,406) thousand**) and financing activities (a use of **$(250,585) thousand**), with only a minor impact from exchange rate effects (**$(425) thousand**).  **[0001302215-24-000028_hli-20240331.htm:55]** **[0001302215-24-000028_hli-20240331.htm:63]** **[0001302215-24-000010_q4fy24-ex991.htm:6]** 

What drove the spike in Cash and cash equivalents in Q4 2024?

The decline in **cash and cash equivalents** in Q2 2025 was largely due to a mix of operating, investing, and financing activities. Although the company generated **$224,711 thousand** from operating activities, it used **$71,311 thousand** for investing activities (including acquisitions and purchases of equipment) and **$200,626 thousand** for financing activities (for share-based awards tax settlements and dividend payments). A positive impact from exchange rate changes of **$18,234 thousand** could not fully offset these outflows, resulting in an overall decrease of **$28,992 thousand**.  **[0001302215-24-000110_hli-20240930.htm:40]** 

Why did Cash and cash equivalents drop so low in Q2 2025?

The surge in total assets in Q4 2024 was driven by several factors including an increase in **cash and cash equivalents** (from **$714,439 thousand** to **$721,235 thousand**), a rise in **accounts receivable** (from **$182,029 thousand** to **$199,630 thousand**), a significant jump in **unbilled work in progress** (from **$115,045 thousand** to **$192,012 thousand**), as well as notable increases in **goodwill** (from **$1,087,784 thousand** to **$1,127,497 thousand**) and **property and equipment** (from **$88,345 thousand** to **$136,701 thousand**).  **[0001302215-24-000028_hli-20240331.htm:63]** 

What contributed to the surge in Total assets in Q4 2024?

The documents indicate that the Q1 2025 total assets were **3,170,759 thousand**  **[0001302215-25-000007_hli-20241231.htm:3]**  and the Q2 2025 total assets were **2,942,916 thousand**.  **[0001302215-24-000090_hli-20240630.htm:3]**  However, the documents only provide detailed explanations for a period where total assets increased (attributed to factors such as increases in Goodwill, Investment Securities, etc.).  **[0001302215-24-000110_hli-20240930.htm:3]** **[HLI_3404771_2]** **[HLI_3404771_1]**  **No information** is given regarding factors that led to the decline in total assets in Q2 2025.

What factors led to the decline in Total assets in Q2 2025?

The notable drop in total liabilities was primarily driven by significant reductions in several key liability categories. Specifically, **accrued salaries and bonuses** decreased from **$726,031 thousand** to **$641,370 thousand**, **accounts payable and accrued expenses** declined from **$114,171 thousand** to **$104,661 thousand**, and **other liabilities** dropped from **$37,751 thousand** to **$32,880 thousand**. These decreases were partially offset by a slight increase in **operating lease liabilities** from **$415,412 thousand** to **$431,222 thousand**.  **[0001302215-24-000110_hli-20240930.htm:3]**
