UK employers are scrambling to backfill 1.1m positions displaced by the pandemic, amidst a tightening resource pool. Exacerbated by low unemployment, rising salaries, greater staff churn & many people simply opting for a career change. Indeed there are now on average just 1.5 unemployed people per job vacancy. These acute labour shortages are not only prevalent in healthcare, leisure (eg waiters) & transport (HGV drivers). But also software, digitisation, renewables (eg off-shore wind & hydrog...
Given the tightening UK jobs market with vacancies back to pre-Covid levels, it’s no wonder businesses are struggling to find technical/skilled staff. Turning instead to specialist STEM recruiters like Gattaca, particularly within ‘hot’ areas such as software, digitisation, renewables, electrification, defence (cyber & marine), engineering and infrastructure (eg HS2, fibre-to-the-home, Lower Thames Crossing, etc). Gattaca has updated today that in the 12 months to end July continuing H2’21 NFI...
A ‘V-shaped’ recovery, together with a shortage of qualified staff, is providing a favourable backdrop for Gattaca, which helps organisations recruit hard-to-find STEM personnel. Additionally, after skilfully navigating the pandemic the group has emerged far fitter (less cost), healthier (stronger balance sheet) and better placed to benefit from these near buoyant conditions. Today it updated that FY21 PBT would be “significantly ahead of expectations”, thanks to strong Q3 NFI growth (+13%) as...
Although it may not feel like it for the 1.7m people who are unemployed - but despite the lockdowns UK employment prospects are steadily improving thanks to the country’s successful vaccine rollout. The only slight frustration is that this optimism hasn’t yet translated into a surge in recruitment activity, albeit we suspect a rehiring boom is only a matter of time, especially for STEM recruitment specialist Gattaca. Today the company said that Q2’21 NFI had climbed 2% sequentially vs Q1, whic...
Empresaria released a trading update on November 21st, lowering the expected growth rate for FY2017 PBT. This was due to the weak market conditions in the Mideast which were flagged in the H1 results, and also to changes in legislation in Germany. The German issue, also previously know, relates to rules restricting the length of tenure for contract workers (Empresaria’s main focus) and the introduction of equal pay after 9 months. These rules take full effect in 2018, but employers appear to be ...
Empresaria’s H1 results confirm the message of July’s trading update, and the outlook for the full year – continued growth in Net Fee Income (NFI) and EPS. Net Fee Income was up 26% (17% at constant FX), adj. Operating Profit +23% (9% at constant FX).This has been delivered against a mixed background for the wider peer group. The big generalists such as Hays or Randstad have maintained growth, but some of the specialist peers (notably Impellam plc.) have encountered headwinds. Empresaria has ben...

​Empresaria has enjoyed a substantial rerating as the group has delivered against expectations and as profit forecasts have been upgraded. Yet the company continues to be valued at a significant discount to its mid-cap peers. We expect the discount to narrow assuming trading continues to improve, and as the share gains increased recognition. A virtuous circle of higher profits, higher rating, higher market cap, greater recognition would clearly continue to benefit investors, if management can ...
​Empresaria has announced the acquisition of Pharmaceutical Strategies a provider of temporary workers to the US healthcare sector. The business is currently growing strongly and sector growth is expected to continue. The deal has been financed by a share placing which was oversubscribed and by small additional debt facility. The deal should be earnings enhancing in its first full year and the balance sheet remains in a comfortable position. The vendor's CEO has been locked in and the de...
​Good interim results from Empresaria, the international specialist staffing firm, confirm that the hard work of recent years in simplifying the business and building the platform for growth is working. Adjusted EPS was up 36% with all regions delivering good underlying growth. The share price has had a strong performance but the company continues to be valued at a significant discount to its peers. We expect the discount to narrow as trading improves, and the share gains recognition. Empresar...
Empresaria, the international specialist staffing group, revealed in its AGM statement that the second half momentum from 2014 has continued into the new year with all three regions growing. This is consistent with positive industry news elsewhere but progress also validates our view that all the hard work done through the recession is paying off. The share price is starting to respond positively with a 35% rise in the last six months, yet it continues to be valued at a material discount t...
EmpresariaÂ’s prelims confirm that the hard work it did through the recession is now paying off well, with FY14 Net Fee Income (NFI) +5%, PBT (Adj.) up 13%, EPS (Dil. Adj.) up 29% despite currency headwinds. The outlook is improving and Empresaria doubled the dividend as a sign of confidence. The share price has done little in the last 12 months and continues to be valued at a material discount to its peers. We would expect the discount to narrow assuming Empresaria continues to deliver as (or b...
