Q2 Expectations

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Robert Half’s revenues in the to-be-reported quarter is pegged at $1.5 billion, suggesting a year-over-year decrease of 8.7%. The decline in the top line is likely to have been caused by the deterioration in the segmental performance.

Our estimate for Contract Talent Solutions is pegged at $879.2 million, up 58.7% from the year-ago quarter. Permanent Placement Talent Solutions revenues are anticipated to be $129.8 million, indicating a 13.1% decrease on a year-over-year basis.

Our estimate for revenues from Protiviti is $487.9 million, suggesting a marginal decline from the year-ago quarter’s actual. Client budget measures are anticipated to have led to a decrease in Protiviti’s revenues.

The consensus mark for the bottom line is pegged at 71 cents per share, indicating a 29% decline from the year-ago quarter’s actual. The decline in revenues is expected to have affected the bottom line.
