Denis Machuel, Adecco Group CEO, commented:
"The Group delivered another quarter of revenue acceleration and market share gain. The Adecco business achieved growth across all regions at a level that continued to outpace its competitors, and with underlying margin improvement. Adecco US saw sequential improvement and further signs of turnaround progression. In LHH, both the Career Transition and Ezra businesses delivered record quarters and profitability strengthened for the GBU overall. Akkodis delivered strong growth in consulting with excellent progress in the US; while the staffing side of the business was hindered by hiring contraction in the tech sector. Integration work and synergy capture is advancing smoothly. Across the Group we continue to drive productivity and cost discipline, with G&A down in the quarter and delivery against the committed savings plan firmly on track. Looking ahead, whilst recognising a challenging macro-economic environment, we see positive momentum, driven by the strength of our unique portfolio and our relentless focus on performance."

GROSS PROFIT
In the second quarter period, gross profit reached EUR 1,240 million, up 1 percent organically (1 percent lower reported). Gross margin was 20.7 percent, 50 basis points lower organically (40 basis points lower reported). The Group's gross margin development was weighed by current business mix, both in terms of GBUs and mix within the Adecco GBU.
By service line, on an organic basis, gross margin expanded 110 basis points in Career Transition. However, gross margin was lower by 90 basis points in Flexible Placement, 40 basis points in Permanent Placement, 20 basis points in Outsourcing, Consulting & Other Services, and 10 basis points in Training, Up-skilling & Re-skilling. Currency effects had a 5 basis points positive impact and portfolio scope a 5 basis points positive impact.
SELLING, GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (SG&A)
SG&A excluding one-offs was EUR 1,062 million, 2 percent higher organically (0 percent reported) and EUR 24 million lower than Q1 23's EUR 1,086 million result. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A excluding one-offs was at 17.7 percent, an improvement from the prior year period's 17.9 percent and Q1 23's 18.4 percent, supported by a reduction in G&A costs and productivity improvement.
Q2 2023 Results |
3 |
Full-time Employees ("FTEs") reduced 2 percent compared to the prior year period to 38,243. On a sequential basis, FTEs reduced by 1 percent. Group productivity, in terms of gross profit per FTE, rose 3 percent year-on-year.
EBITA
EBITA excluding one-offs was EUR 184 million, compared to EUR 205 million in the prior year period.
The EBITA margin excluding one-offs was 3.1 percent. The 40 basis points differential year-on-year reflects lower gross margin and the timing of FESCO JV income, partly mitigated by good cost management and productivity improvement. In underlying terms, margin progressed 30 basis points sequentially. Income from the FESCO JV was EUR 5 million this quarter, from EUR 11 million in the prior year period.
One-off costs were EUR 39 million, compared to EUR 41 million in the prior year period, mainly reflecting restructuring charges from actions taken to secure targeted G&A savings.
AMORTISATION OF INTANGIBLES
Amortisation of intangible assets was EUR 28 million in the quarter, from EUR 40 million in the prior year period.
OPERATING INCOME
The Group generated an operating income of EUR 117 million, flat percent in constant currency terms, due to the aforementioned items.
NET INCOME AND EPS
Net income attributable to Adecco Group shareholders was EUR 62 million, compared to 77 million in the prior year period. The result reflects interest expense of EUR 20 million, and other income/(expenses), net of EUR 9 million. Income taxes amounted to EUR 25 million, with an effective tax rate of 28.4 percent including discrete events.
Basic EPS was EUR 0.37, compared to the prior year period's EUR 0.46. Adjusted EPS, which is the Group's net income excluding a total EUR 50 million for amortisation of intangibles, one-off costs, and associated tax effects, divided by basic weighted-average shares outstanding, was EUR 0.67, compared to the prior year period's EUR 0.85.
CASH FLOW AND NET DEBT
Cash flow from operating activities was EUR +80 million in the quarter, compared to negative EUR -81 million in the prior year period. Cash flow was positively impacted by the timing of working capital, with receivables and payables both more favourable. DSO was 53 days, stable versus the previous year period. The rolling last four quarters cash conversion ratio was 66 percent, up sequentially and a robust result during a period of growth and transformation.
Net debt was EUR 3,078 million at end Q2 2023. The Net Debt to EBITDA ratio, excluding one-offs was 3.2x, in line with management expectations and reflecting a seasonal peak due to the dividend distribution. The Group reiterates its firm commitment to decrease leverage going forward.
As a reminder, the Adecco Group issued EUR 1,500 million of senior and subordinated debt in H2 2021 at attractive terms to finance AKKA's acquisition. In addition, the Group has a robust financial structure, with fixed interest rates on 75 percent of its outstanding gross debts, no financial covenants on any of its outstanding debts, a well-balanced bond maturity profile and strong liquidity including an undrawn EUR 750 million revolving credit facility. In addition, the company has no bonds maturing until end 2024.

2022 results restated due to the transfer of part of AKKA's US operations to Adecco Americas (Adecco US), effective Jan 1, 2023
Adecco delivered strong relative revenue growth of +800 basis points in Q2, taking further market share.
Adecco's revenues were up 5 percent in the second quarter, with growth driven by resilient flexible placement volumes. On a year-on-year basis, revenues advanced across all regions, with double-digit growth achieved in APAC, LatAm, Germany, Iberia and EEMENA.
Flexible Placement revenues were 4 percent higher. On a sector basis, autos and healthcare were notably strong. Manufacturing was robust, while logistics stabilised in the quarter. Revenues were solid in higher-value solutions: Permanent Placement was up 8 percent and Outsourcing was up 6 percent.
Gross margin was healthy, albeit weighed by current business and solutions mix. Pricing was good, underpinned by continued talent scarcity across markets.
The 3.5 percent EBITA margin includes the impact of the timing of FESCO JV income. Excluding this impact, the EBITA margin was improved year-on-year compared to Q2 2022's 3.6 percent margin, supported by agile cost management. Productivity rose 3 percent sequentially and 4 percent year-on-year, while FTEs reduced 2 percent sequentially and 3 percent year-on-year.
SEGMENT RESULTS
ADECCO FRANCE
- Revenues rose 1 percent, supported by the autos and healthcare sectors, while logistics, construction and retail were soft. Growth was strong in permanent placement, and robust in flexible placement.
- The EBITA margin reflects positive gross margin development, countered by unfavourable movements in true- up and other special items. Reflecting a tougher market backdrop, headcount was reduced in the quarter.
ADECCO NORTHERN EUROPE
- Revenues from UK & Ireland were up 7 percent, with growth led by autos and public sector activity. Revenues were 1 percent lower in the Nordics, with new construction regulations constraining activity. In the Benelux, revenues were down 1 percent. Overall, the region's growth outpaced the market.
- The EBITA margin was impacted by adverse business and solutions mix, partly mitigated by good cost management and restructuring initiatives in the Nordics, including headcount reductions.
Q2 2023 Results |
5 |
ADECCO DACH
- Revenues in Germany were up 11 percent, outperforming the market. In Switzerland & Austria revenues were 1 percent higher, with Switzerland impacted by a tough market backdrop. Growth was generated mainly by autos, logistics and professional services.
- The EBITA margin, which is typically at its lowest in Q2, mainly reflects the impact of fewer working days in the current period relative to the prior year period.
ADECCO SOUTHERN EUROPE & EEMENA
- Revenue growth was strong, with Iberia up 11 percent, EEMENA up 19 percent, and Italy up 6 percent. Permanent placement and outsourcing activities were very strong and flexible placement improved sequentially. In sector terms, autos, retail, and logistics developed favourably, while manufacturing was robust. Overall, the region's growth clearly outpaced the market.
- The strong EBITA margin mainly reflects altered business mix and improved productivity.
ADECCO AMERICAS
- Latin America revenues grew by an excellent 22 percent.
-
In North America, revenues were 7 percent lower, impacted by a tougher macro-economic environment. o In Adecco US, revenue developments outperformed the market, and improved by 2 percent on a
sequential basis.
o In operational terms, Adecco US is seeing positive momentum from its recently implemented regional focus, branch improvement and sales training programmes. - While impacted by lower volumes, the EBITA margin improved 70 basis points year-on-year, reflecting agile cost management, including headcount and other G&A cost savings initiatives.
ADECCO APAC
- Revenues were 12 percent higher in Japan, up 10 percent in Asia, and up 20 percent in India. Revenues in Australia & New Zealand were flat, weighed by the end of a large government contract. Both flexible placement and permanent placement activities were very strong. End-market growth was broad-based, with IT Tech, retail, manufacturing, and consulting all performing well.
- The EBITA margin includes impact from the FESCO JV, driven by unfavourable timing of government payments, which moved into Q1 this year. The margin further reflects changes in social charges in Japan. Management is taking action to offset the additional costs incurred in future quarters.

Akkodis 2022 results restated due to the transfer of part of AKKA's US operations to Adecco effective Jan 1, 2023
Akkodis' revenues were 1 percent lower (3 percent lower reported). Reflecting a sharp downturn in tech sector activity, staffing revenues were 25 percent lower. Consulting & solutions revenues were strong, growing 12 percent.
Q2 2023 Results |
6 |
By segment:
- North EMEA revenues rose 7 percent, with Germany up 8 percent and Data Respons up 6 percent. Data Respons' revenues reached record levels, despite fewer working days.
- South EMEA revenues were 3 percent lower. Revenues in France were 2 percent lower, with growth held back by talent scarcity and reclassification of a handful of contracts.
- North America revenues declined 8 percent, with growth impacted by a sharp slowdown in staffing activity for tech talent, particularly in permanent placement. Consulting was excellent, with revenues up over 70 percent.
- Akkodis APAC revenues rose 3 percent, with Japan up 10 percent.
Akkodis' EBITA margin mainly reflects lower staffing volumes. Management continues to adapt its staffing-orientated operations to mitigate the business cycle. For example, the US business reduced headcount in the quarter by approximately 15 percent, and further savings initiatives are underway. At the same time, management in the US, and across the GBU, are focused on the strategic consulting business to drive future growth.
Total synergies secured for 2023, in EBITA terms, are projected at approximately EUR 57 million, which compares favourably to targeted in-year synergies of EUR 50-55 million.

Revenues in LHH were flat (-3 percent reported) in the second quarter. By segment:
- Recruitment Solutions revenues were 20 percent lower against a tough comparison. Permanent and flexible professional placement activities were subdued, particularly in the US and UK. Permanent placement net fees were 25 percent lower versus the prior year quarter, and flat on a sequential basis.
- Performance in Career Transition & Mobility (CT&M) was excellent. Revenues rose 101 percent, driven by positive momentum globally and across multiple sectors. The segment continued to gain market share and achieved record revenue levels in the quarter. Its pipeline is solid.
- Learning & Development revenues were 21 percent lower, with General Assembly and Talent Development subdued. Ezra performed very well, with revenues up 36 percent. Ezra's pipeline is strong.
- In Pontoon & Other, revenues in Pontoon were flat, while revenues in Hired were subdued. Both units were challenged by the US tech sector downturn.
The EBITA margin benefited from segment mix, mainly higher volumes in CT&M, partly mitigated by continued digital investment.
Business update
The Group is on track to deliver its G&A savings plan of EUR 150 million in run-rate terms by end H1 2024. Of the targeted savings, approximately 75 percent will come from the introduction of a streamlined operating model. The remainder will come from the optimisation of shared functions and expense rationalisation. The Group targets a year- end run-rate savings level of approximately EUR 60 million.
Q2 2023 Results |

Outlook
The Group exited the quarter with growth inline with Q2 levels, and volumes in July were resilient.
While macro-economic conditions remain challenging, the diversity of the Group's activities and geographic footprint provide continued opportunity for profitable growth and market share gain. The Group will manage its resources with agility, adapting to market dynamics. The Group expects Q3's gross margin to be around Q2 23 levels, while SG&A expenses should be slightly lower on a sequential basis.
