2024 Capital Markets Event
26 September 2024
ROBERT WALTERS PLC
Capital Markets Event
Unlocking potential through disciplined entrepreneurialism
Robert Walters plc ("the Company" or "the Group"), the global talent solutions business, is today hosting a capital markets event for investors and analysts at its central London office, commencing at 2pm UK time.
During the event, management will set out the key components of 'disciplined entrepreneurialism' - the refreshed strategic approach to running the Group over the medium-term, the implementation of which commenced earlier this year. Disciplined entrepreneurialism will unlock even more of the Group's potential, so that the business operates with greater efficiency and at higher rates of profitability than previously seen.
The event will be hosted by Toby Fowlston, CEO, and David Bower, CFO, together with a number of the senior management team from across the business. In particular, the event will give further detail on the Group's key medium-term actions and plans:
· In specialist recruitment, the Group's geographic portfolio will be managed more robustly to drive better decisions on where and how to invest
· In recruitment outsourcing, the Group's operating model is being optimised to strengthen the platform from which profitable growth can be targeted
· Across the business, the areas showing the greatest potential to drive the most compelling returns over the medium-term have been identified, and investment into these areas has commenced
· With regard to financial returns, a programme of actions is underway encompassing fee earner productivity, an optimised front and back-office model and better procurement.
The above underpins the Group's aim to achieve two new medium-term targets which it is issuing today:
1. A through-cycle conversion rate in the range of 16-19%
2. An uplift on pre-pandemic1 free cash flow per share in excess of 30%
No further material or price sensitive information will be disclosed at the event.
The event will also be live webcast and can be accessed at the following link:
