(Nasdaq:EXPO) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 3, 2014.</p><p>
	For the 14-week fourth quarter of 2013, revenues before reimbursements increased 6% to $69,036,000, as compared to $65,049,000 in the13-week fourth quarter of 2012. Total revenues were $72,772,000, as compared to $72,946,000 in the same period one year ago.</p><p>
	Net income for the fourth quarter increased 3% to $8,722,000, or $0.63 per diluted share, as compared to $8,472,000, or $0.60 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2012. For the quarter EBITDA<sup>1 </sup>increased 2% to $15,906,000, as compared to $15,607,000 in the same period one year ago.</p><p>
	For the 53-week fiscal year 2013, revenues before reimbursements increased 5% to $280,043,000, as compared to $266,562,000 in the 52-week fiscal year 2012. Total revenues for 2013 were $296,168,000, as compared to $292,653,000 in 2012.</p><p>
	Net income for fiscal year 2013 increased 4% to $38,640,000, or $2.76 per diluted share, as compared to $37,225,000, or $2.60 per diluted share, in fiscal year 2012. For the year EBITDA<sup>1 </sup>increased 4% to $68,769,000, as compared to $66,132,000 one year ago.</p><p>
	For fiscal year 2013, Exponent generated $61.8 million in cash from operations, repurchased $25.0 million of common stock, and paid dividends of $7.9 million. The Company closed the year with $156.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.</p><p>
	"We are pleased to have delivered solid financial results in 2013, with continued revenue and net income growth, and strong cash flow from operations. This performance allowed us to continue to return value to shareholders through share repurchases and the initiation of dividend payments," commented Dr. Paul Johnston, President and CEO. "For the year, we had notable performances from our polymer science, mechanical engineering, biomedical, engineering management and construction consulting practices.</p><p>
	"During 2013 we continued to build upon our leading position in reactive services including investigations of accidents, product recalls, and health and environmental exposures. Additionally, we expanded our market recognition in proactive services including product design consulting, regulatory consulting and risk management. We continue to see good growth opportunities in both reactive and proactive services for 2014 and beyond.</p><p>
	"As we look at 2014 our growth in revenues before reimbursements will be reduced because of a step-down in a few major assignments, lower defense spending, an extra week in fiscal 2013 and $1.4 million of revenues recognized upon payment in 2013 for work performed in the prior year. As a result, we expect 2014 growth in revenues before reimbursements to be in the low single digits and EBITDA<sup>1</sup> margin to be down approximately 100 basis points from 24.6% in 2013.</p><p>
	"Going forward we will continue to expand our expertise and experience to address our clients' important technology, health and environmental questions. We are optimistic about our market opportunities and look forward to translating these into long-term shareholder value," concluded Dr. Johnston.</p><p>

				<sup>1</sup> EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as net income before income taxes, interest income, depreciation and amortization. EBITDAS is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as EBITDA before stock-based compensation. The Company regards EBITDA and EBITDAS as useful measures of operating performance and cash flow to complement operating income, net income and other GAAP financial performance measures. Additionally, management believes that EBITDA and EBITDAS provide meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company's performance, financial position or cash flow that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures, however, should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute or superior to, operating income, cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the measures to GAAP is set forth below.</td>
