Frequently asked questions
What is Korn Ferry's revenue?
Korn Ferry's trailing twelve-month revenue is $2.86B. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is KFY?
In its most recent fiscal year, KFY ran a gross margin of 88.55%, an operating margin of 12.61%, and a net margin of 8.91%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does KFY generate?
KFY produced $301.88M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is KFY's balance sheet healthy?
KFY holds $1.01B in cash and equivalents against $397.74M in long-term debt, on $1.87B of shareholder equity. Cash on hand exceeds long-term debt, so the balance sheet adds little financial risk to the thesis.
