(Nasdaq:EXPO) today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended October 2, 2015.</p><p>
	For the third quarter of 2015, revenues before reimbursements increased to $74,503,000 from $74,264,000 in the third quarter of 2014. Total revenues increased to $78,994,000 from $78,557,000 in the same period one year ago.</p><p>
	Net income for the third quarter increased 6% to $11,719,000 from $11,040,000 in the third quarter of 2014. Earnings per diluted share increased to $0.43 as compared to $0.40 in the same quarter last year. EBITDA<sup>1</sup> increased 2% to $20,055,000 as compared to $19,688,000 in the same period one year ago.</p><p>
	For the first nine months of 2015, revenues before reimbursements increased 3% to $225,916,000 from $219,562,000 in the first nine months of 2014. Total revenues increased 3% to $239,151,000 from $231,093,000 in the same period one year ago.</p><p>
	Net income for the first nine months of 2015 increased 7% to $33,749,000 from $31,458,000 in the first nine months of 2014. Earnings per diluted share increased to $1.23, as compared to $1.13 in the same period of last year. EBITDA<sup>1</sup> increased 5% to $59,055,000 as compared to $56,000,000 in the same period one year ago.</p><p>
	Year to date 2015, Exponent generated $34.3 million in cash from operating activities, repurchased $19.8 million of common stock and paid dividends of $11.8 million. The Company closed the quarter with $151.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.</p><p>
	In a separate release today, Exponent announced that its Board of Directors has authorized an additional $35 million in share repurchases, increasing the Company's current authorization to approximately $50 million. Exponent also announced its quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 to be distributed on December 18, 2015 and its intent to continue to pay quarterly dividends.</p><p>
	"We are pleased to have continued our solid growth of the bottom line in the third quarter, especially considering the impact of a major project wrapping up and a decline in defense technology development, which we previously articulated," commented Dr. Paul Johnston, President and CEO. "During the third quarter, we experienced good demand in both our proactive and reactive services and saw notable performance from our materials, polymer science, biomedical, and vehicle engineering practices, as well as our infrastructure group."</p><p>
	"Year to date, our underlying growth has been in the high single digits but has been offset by a significant decline in defense work and the end of a major project. Based on our year to date results, we are reiterating our expectations for the growth of revenues before reimbursements to be in the low single digits for fiscal year 2015. We expect EBITDA<sup>1</sup> margin to be essentially flat with the 25% we achieved in 2014, a slight improvement to our prior outlook."</p><p>
	"Exponent continues to be called upon to investigate the most significant accidents and to support critical programs for companies globally. We are optimistic about our ability to leverage our strong market position for reactive service to grow our client relationships into design consulting, risk management and regulatory support," concluded Dr. Johnston.</p><p>
	<strong>Today's Conference Call Information </strong></p><p>

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 subject to the safe harbor creates such forward-looking statements. When used in this document and in the documents incorporated herein by reference, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect" and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company or its management, identify such forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current views of the Company or its management with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company's actual results, performance, or achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, any such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such material differences include the possibility that the demand for our services may decline as a result of changes in general and industry specific economic conditions, the timing of engagements for our services, the effects of competitive services and pricing, the absence of backlog related to our business, our ability to attract and retain key employees, the effect of tort reform and government regulation on our business, and liabilities resulting from claims made against us. Additional risks and uncertainties are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10K under the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the report.

	<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.</p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="6" style=" border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 6px ">
