Latest update - Q3 26 Results commentary

Mark Dearnley, Interim Chief Executive Officer
“Net fees declined by 8% but we continue to deliver strong productivity growth, good Temp & Contracting growth in several of our Focus countries, and our substantial bid pipeline with Enterprise clients is converting well.

Looking ahead, we remain mindful of global macro-economic uncertainty and the impact this could have on the wider economy.

However, we are executing well and taking decisive actions to improve our portfolio and restore our financial performance.”
Mark Dearnley, Interim Chief Executive Officer

Q3 26 Overview

  • Group net fees down 8% YoY with Temp & Contracting and Perm down 6% and 12% respectively
  • Temp & Contracting volumes remain solid and the YoY decline in average hours worked in Germany was in line with our expectations during the quarter. Perm remains challenging overall
  • Tenth consecutive positive quarter of consultant net fee productivity growth up 7%, good conversion of our Enterprise Solutions bid pipeline, and further good Temp & Contracting net fee growth in several of our Focus countries particularly Japan and Spain(1)
  • Strong progress with our initiatives to deliver further structural cost savings of c.£45m per annum by the end of FY29 with c.£30m annualised savings already secured in the first nine months of FY26, bringing aggregate structural savings since the start of FY24 to c.£95m per annum
  • c.£15m net debt (31 December 2025: £40.3m net cash) reflecting seasonal cashflows and timing of month end payments, and in line with our expectations
  • Net fees declined by 8% in March. Although near term market conditions are likely to remain challenging, we currently expect FY26 pre-exceptional operating profit will be in line with consensus(2)
