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."
