Analysis · FCN · Trade & Services
FTI Consulting has significantly enhanced its financial position by increasing its revolving credit facility from $900 million to $1.5 billion, providing an additional $600 million in liquidity. The maturity date has been extended by over three years, from November 2027 to June 2031, substantially de-risking future refinancing needs.
