Methodology & Assumptions
Net Revenue = Billable Consultants × Annual Hours × Utilization × Bill Rate × Realization. EBITDA = Net Revenue − Total Compensation − SG&A. Bench cost reflects non-billable consultant salaries.
Sensitivity analysis measures the marginal EBITDA gain from a one-step change in each lever independently. Seasonal trend applies a sinusoidal adjustment (±8%) to utilization across 12 months.
Annual billable hours base: 2,080 (40 hrs/wk × 52 wks). All calculations are pre-tax. Industry benchmarks sourced from SPI Research Professional Services Maturity Model.
