Dear Mr. Shapiro:

This letter is submitted by and on behalf of CRA International, Inc. (“we” or “CRA”) in response to the comment of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission set forth in your letter to us dated May 13, 2019.

For reference purposes, the text of your letter has been reproduced herein with responses below each numbered comment.

Form 8-K Filed May 2, 2019

Exhibit 99.1
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations Including a Reconciliation to Non-GAAP Results
For the Quarter Ended March 30, 2019 Compared to the Quarter Ended March 31, 2018, page 6

1.              We note your presentation of full non-GAAP income statements in your earnings release.  Your presentation does not appear in compliance with Question 102.10 of the Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations on Non-GAAP Financial Measures (updated April 4, 2018) and Item 10(e)(1)(i)(A) of Regulation S-K which precludes presenting a full non-GAAP income statement when reconciling non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures since it places undue prominence on the

non-GAAP measures and may give the impression that the non-GAAP income statement is a comprehensive basis of accounting.  Please confirm that you will not present full non-GAAP income statements in future earnings releases filed under Form 8-K and related exhibits therein.

Response to Comment No. 1

CRA acknowledges the Staff’s comment and confirms that it will not present full non-GAAP income statements in future earnings releases filed under Form 8-K and related exhibits therein.
