Reports Q1 revenue $201M, consensus $193.82M. “Maintaining the momentum of a record fiscal 2025, CRA continued its strong performance into the first quarter of fiscal 2026 as revenue increased by 10.5% year over year to $201.0 million,” said Paul Maleh, CRA’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “This represents the highest quarterly revenue in the company’s history, besting the previous record set by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. Broad-based contributions drove the quarter’s strong performance, with eight practices growing year over year. Four practices-Energy, Finance, Forensic Services, and Life Sciences-posted double-digit revenue growth, while the Antitrust & Competition Economics practice posted a new high for quarterly revenue. This strong practice performance reflected balanced growth across our portfolio, as our Legal & Regulatory offerings grew 11.5% year over year and Management Consulting offerings expanded 8.3%. We also generated growth across our geographies, with our North American operations increasing revenue by 8.5% and our international operations expanding 20.3% year over year.”
