Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
Net fee income returned to growth in H1 2025, up 0.1% year-on-year (constant currency like-for-like), with Q2 net fee income up 2% year-on-year and 7% sequentially from Q1, led by strong US and Offshore Services performance despite challenging market conditions.
Adjusted operating profit grew 55% on a constant currency like-for-like basis and 70% on a reported basis, reaching £1.7m, reflecting strong cost management and improved performance in core operations.
Strategic focus on cost control, operational efficiency, and targeted investments in sales, brand, and technology, with accelerated strategy execution and non-core asset divestments progressing.
Full-year results are expected to align with Board expectations despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainties and persistent weak market conditions.
The group remains in an 'offer period' under the Takeover Code, with ongoing updates to shareholders.
Financial highlights
Revenue declined 3% year-on-year to £117.8m, but up 3% on a constant currency like-for-like basis, reflecting strength in high-revenue, low-margin commercial operations.
Reported net fee income declined 8% to £23.4m due to FX headwinds and strategic business exits.
Adjusted profit before tax was £0.9m, up from £0.2m in H1 2024; profit before tax improved to £0.1m from a £4.4m loss.
Adjusted, diluted loss per share reduced to 0.8p from 1.2p year-on-year; basic EPS at (3.1)p, improved from (8.4)p.
Net debt increased to £16.1m at 30 June 2025 (from £15.3m at 31 Dec 2024), mainly due to adverse FX movements; average net debt stable at £15.1m; headroom at £3.7m.
Outlook and guidance
Full-year results are expected to be in line with Board expectations, supported by H1 performance and ongoing cost discipline.
Momentum is improving in core operations, but no sustained uplift in demand across the wider recruitment market; external conditions remain mixed.
Macroeconomic headwinds are expected to persist through 2025, but management remains confident in delivering on guidance.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
