Staffline (STAF LN) - Strong H1 profit performance - Corporate
Staffline’s H1 2025 results show continued strong growth and positive momentum. During a period where larger, UK-listed peers have again reported decreasing net fee income (NFI), Staffline increased its NFI (or gross profit) by 6.1% and underlying EBIT by 54.2% in H1 2025 (on a continuing operations basis). The strong H1 results and the contract win with Culina Group positions Staffline well to meet our unchanged underlying FY25 estimates that show 15.8% underlying EBIT growth. Staffline shares ...

Staffline (STAF LN) - Strong momentum, still undervalued - Corporate
Staffline, one of the UK and Ireland’s leading recruitment groups, has released a positive AGM statement confirming strong trading momentum. Temporary worker hours from Recruitment GB in the first four months of FY25 are comfortably ahead (+6.6%) of the prior comparator, driving a 6.2% increase in Group gross profit over the same period. We expect strong gross profit growth to continue through FY25, in part driven by the new contract win announced last week that is expected to mobilise across Q2...

Staffline, one of the UK’s leading recruitment groups, has announced a significant strategic partnership with a leading food and drink supply chain management and logistics provider. The agreement will mobilise c. 3,000 temporary workers and demonstrates Staffline’s ability to quickly deliver at scale as a trusted partner. As a result of this win, we increase FY25 underlying PBT by 12% to £5.9m, FY26 by 47% to £8.3m and FY27 by 45% to £8.7m. This follows on from a material outperformance of its ...

Staffline (STAF LN) - Strong market outperformance - Corporate
Staffline, one of the UK’s leading recruitment groups, has announced FY24 results showing an excellent trading and cashflow performance against a challenging macroeconomic backdrop. Our analysis of UK-quoted peers’ CY24 results suggests a material outperformance by Staffline. With the disposal of PeoplePlus in February 2025, the Group is now a pure-play UK recruitment business with, in our view, attractive organic growth prospects. At a FY25 EV/EBIT multiple of only 3.6x, believe Staffline’s sha...

On track for FY and quietly confident
Gattaca’s results for the six months to January were encouraging on several levels: productivity improved, costs fell, and the conversion ratio rose. The investment in strategic growth sectors was rewarded, with improving NFI within energy and infrastructure. Despite challenging markets, NFI declined just 3%, outperforming much of the staffing sector as the Group benefitted from the change in strategy and a 71% exposure to contract fees. Growth in adj. EBIT and the conversion rate reflected a ...

Staffline (STAF LN) - PeoplePlus disposal and £7.5m share buyback - Co...
Staffline has announced the disposal of its workplace training and employability business, PeoplePlus, for net cash proceeds of up to £6.9m. In our view, PeoplePlus was a non-core asset and this deal simplifies Staffline’s platform, allowing it to focus on the faster-growing and strong performing recruitment businesses across the UK and Ireland. The cash proceeds add to Staffline’s already strong net cash position (£9.7m at 31 December 2024, ex. leases), providing the funds for a new £7.5m share...

A resilient update that stands out from the crowd
The key takeaway from the trading update for H1 ’25 was a solid trading performance, despite a challenging market environment. We remain encouraged by the static guidance at the adj. PBT level of £3m for FY25, highlighting an improvement in operational efficiency, combined with higher average fee rates. Contract NFI declined 1% yoy, with increased summer holidays and a late return to work in January modestly offsetting the growth in contractor numbers and higher salaries. Although permanent NFI...

Staffline’s FY24 trading update showed a strong performance that beat Zeus’ expectations and demonstrates the resilience of its business model. The Group has made market share gains in its blue-collar sectors and recorded robust growth in permanent recruitment fees, offsetting the expected weakness in PeoplePlus. Underlying EBIT of £11.1m was 10.5% ahead of our estimate and net cash (ex. leases) of £9.7m was significantly ahead of our £2.9m net debt estimate. We have rebased FY25 and FY26 estima...

‘New’ Gattaca on track and well positioned
For Gattaca FY24 was predominantly about self-help, ensuring that the business was in good shape to take maximum advantage once the market turns and to improve market share in the short term. The good news is that the FY24 results were in-line with revised expectations and there are positive signs in terms of initial recovery in fee income. Progress was made during what was a challenging year to meet many of the Board’s strategic goals. Progress was made in focusing staff numbers to align with...

Pleasing trading performance, despite unhelpful market
In an encouraging year-end trading update Gattaca said NFI improved c.5% on a sequential half-yearly basis during H2, achieved against a backdrop of a challenging market. The increase in fee income was driven by the first consistent rise in the contract book for 8 years, resulting in productivity levels rising +6% yoy. Net cash was a healthy £21m, ahead of expectations. Guidance is unchanged for FY25, albeit any improvement in the underlying market is likely to result in an upward revision to ...
