  • Revenues declined from $1.639 billion in Q2 2023 to $1.473 billion in Q2 2024

Insights

Robert Half's Q2 2024 financial results paint a mixed picture, reflecting ongoing economic challenges. The company reported $1.473 billion in revenues, a 10.1% decrease from the same period last year. Net income dropped more significantly, falling 35.8% to $68 million, or $0.66 per share.

The year-to-date figures show a similar trend, with revenues down 12.2% and net income declining by 42.1%. These results underscore the persistent macroeconomic headwinds and interest rate uncertainties affecting hiring activities and new project initiations.

However, it's not all doom and gloom. Protiviti, Robert Half's consulting arm, demonstrated resilience with strong performance, particularly in the U.S. market. This division's growth in both revenues and segment income, both sequentially and year-over-year, suggests a robust demand for consulting services despite the overall challenging environment.

Investors should note that while the results are within the company's guidance range, the significant year-over-year declines in revenue and earnings indicate ongoing pressures in the talent solutions sector. The company's ability to navigate these challenges while maintaining its market position will be important for its future performance.

Robert Half's Q2 results offer valuable insights into the current state of the job market and broader economic trends. The 10.1% year-over-year revenue decline and more pronounced 35.8% drop in net income reflect a cautious approach from both clients and job candidates. This hesitancy in hiring and project initiation is a clear indicator of the uncertain macroeconomic environment and ongoing concerns about interest rates.

Interestingly, the strong performance of Protiviti, especially in the U.S., suggests a shift in corporate priorities. While companies may be pulling back on permanent hires, they appear to be increasingly turning to consulting services. This could indicate a preference for flexible, project-based solutions in the face of economic uncertainty.

The company's continued recognition in various rankings, such as Forbes' list of America's Best Professional Recruiting Firms, suggests that Robert Half is maintaining its brand strength and market position despite the challenging environment. This could potentially position the company well for a recovery when economic conditions improve.

However, investors should remain cautious. The persistent nature of these challenges, as indicated by the year-to-date figures, suggests that a quick turnaround is unlikely. The company's ability to adapt its services and maintain its competitive edge in a changing market landscape will be important for its long-term success.

ROBERT HALF INC.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The financial results of Robert Half Inc. (the "Company") are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the rules of the SEC. To help readers understand the Company's financial performance, the Company supplements its GAAP financial results with the following non-GAAP measures: adjusted gross margin; adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses; combined segment income; and as adjusted revenue growth rates.

The following measures: adjusted gross margin and adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses, include gains and losses on investments held to fund the Company's obligations under employee deferred compensation plans. The Company provides these measures because they are used by management to review its operational results.

Combined segment income is income before income taxes, adjusted for interest income and amortization of intangible assets. The Company provides combined segment income because it is how management evaluates performance.

As adjusted revenue growth rates represent year-over-year revenue growth rates after removing the impacts on reported revenues from the changes in the number of billing days and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company provides this data because it focuses on the Company's revenue growth rates attributable to operating activities and aids in evaluating revenue trends over time. The impacts from the changes in billing days and foreign currency exchange rates are calculated as follows:

  • Billing days impact is calculated by dividing each comparative period's reported revenues by the number of billing days for that period to arrive at a per billing day amount. Same billing day growth rates are then calculated based on the per billing day amounts. Management calculates a global, weighted-average number of billing days for each reporting period based upon inputs from all countries and all functional specializations and segments.
  • Foreign currency impact is calculated by retranslating current period international revenues, using foreign currency exchange rates from the prior year's comparable period.

The non-GAAP financial measures provided herein may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the Company's industry, as other companies may calculate such financial results differently. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to amounts presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided on the following pages.

Changes in the Company's employee deferred compensation plan obligations related to Protiviti operations are included in costs of services, while the related investment income is presented separately. The non-GAAP financial adjustments shown in the table above are to reclassify investment income from investments held in employee deferred compensation trusts to the same line item that includes the corresponding change in obligation. These adjustments have no impact on income before income taxes.

Service revenues for finance and accounting, administrative and customer support, and technology include intersegment revenues, which represent revenues from services provided to Protiviti in connection with the Company's blended business solutions. Intersegment revenues for each functional specialization are aggregated and then eliminated as a single line item.

The non-GAAP financial measures included in the table above adjust for the following items:

Billing Days. The "As Reported" revenue growth rates are based upon reported revenues. Management calculates the billing day impact by dividing each comparative period's reported revenues by the number of billing days for that period to arrive at a per billing day amount. Same billing day growth rates are then calculated based on the per billing day amounts. Management calculates a global, weighted-average number of billing days for each reporting period based upon input from all countries and all functional specializations and segments.

Foreign Currency Translation. The "As Reported" revenue growth rates are based upon reported revenues, which include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The foreign currency impact is calculated by retranslating current period international revenues, using foreign currency exchange rates from the prior year's comparable period.

The term "As Adjusted" means that the impact of different billing days and constant currency fluctuations are removed from the revenue growth rate calculation. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP year-over-year revenue growth rates to the "As Reported" year-over-year revenue growth rates is included herein, on Pages 10-12.
