FY26 Preliminary Results Overview

  • Net fees decreased by 8%. Temp & Contracting, down 5%, was more resilient than Perm, down 12%. Pre-exceptional operating profit increased by 3% to £48.6 million and slightly exceeded guidance provided at our Q4 update
  • Decisive action and strong execution. Consultant net fee productivity increased by 7%, Solutions net fees were resilient, and further good Temp & Contracting net fee growth in several of our countries. Group pre-exceptional operating profit returned to YoY growth in the second-half with the RoW restored to profitability. We have sharper focus after reshaping our country portfolio and product offering
  • Excellent progress against our FY29 structural cost savings ambition with c.£50 million annualised savings secured three years ahead of schedule. Due to these and other actions, we incurred a £89.6 million exceptional charge
  • Strong payback expected on associated exceptional costs. We expect to incur further exceptional costs in FY27 but the Board is committed to materially lower exceptionals thereafter
  • Strong cash flow and balance sheet position with 189% cash conversion and net cash of £20.1 million
  • Unchanged final dividend of 0.29 pence per share, bringing the total dividend to 0.44 pence, consistent with the revised capital allocation framework and dividend policy announced last year. We remain committed to maintaining balance sheet strength and 2-3x dividend cover while investing in the business
  • Current trading in July and August has been in line with our expectations with no significant change to activity levels from Q4. September is the key trading month in our first quarter, and it is too early to assess trends
