Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Robert Half Inc. reported second-quarter 2026 revenues of $1.336 billion and net income of $26 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared with $1.370 billion of revenue and $41 million, or $0.41 per share, a year earlier. Global enterprise revenues were $1.336 billion, down 2 percent year over year on a reported basis and 3 percent on an adjusted basis, though management noted that revenues and earnings exceeded the midpoint of second-quarter guidance.

For the first six months of 2026, revenue was $2.637 billion and net income $40 million, versus $2.722 billion and $58 million in the prior-year period. Contract talent solutions revenue was $747.405 million, permanent placement $117.991 million, and Protiviti $470.969 million in the quarter. As of June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $324,714 thousand and stockholders’ equity was $1,207,659 thousand. Management also presented non-GAAP metrics adjusting for billing days, foreign currency and deferred compensation plan investment impacts.

  • Second-quarter 2026 profitability weakened, with net income falling to $26 million from $41 million and revenue easing to $1.336 billion from $1.370 billion year over year.

Filing Explained

The July 23 disclosure adds no ownership or financing change; it furnishes completed second-quarter results and separates reported operating loss from deferred-compensation adjustments.

A Form 8-K is used to report specified material events within four business days; here, Robert Half furnishes its second-quarter 2026 earnings release dated July 23, 2026. The disclosure is a completed report for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, not an offering or ownership transaction, so it updates the financial record for existing common holders without disclosing a new issuance, sale, or company obligation.

The results and Exhibit 99.1 are expressly “furnished,” not “filed,” and the 8-K says they are not incorporated by reference into later SEC filings unless expressly referenced.

The release reports a second-quarter operating loss of $62,299 thousand, while adjusted operating income was $38,579 thousand. The reconciliation reclassifies investment income or loss tied to employee deferred-compensation obligations; it says the adjustment does not change income before income taxes.

non-GAAP financial measures financial
"ROBERT HALF INC. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES The financial results of Robert Half Inc."
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
deferred compensation trusts financial
"(Income) loss from investments held in employee deferred compensation trusts"
billing days financial
"Billing days impact is calculated by dividing each comparative period’s reported revenues"
Billing days are the number of days within a billing cycle for which a business issues charges to a customer or payer — for example the days a service was provided, a product was used, or a stay was billed. Investors watch billing days because they directly affect revenue timing and cash flow and serve as a simple indicator of demand or utilization, like counting occupied parking hours to estimate parking revenue.
foreign currency exchange rates financial
"calculated by retranslating current-period international revenues, using foreign currency exchange rates"
Foreign currency exchange rates are the prices at which one country’s money is swapped for another’s, determined by markets, banks, and government policies. They matter to investors because they change the value of overseas sales, costs, assets and liabilities—like a conversion fee that can make foreign profits worth more or less when translated back into an investor’s home currency, affecting returns and company earnings.
Protiviti financial
"Protiviti, a global consulting firm that delivers internal audit, risk, business and technology consulting solutions"
Q2 2026 revenue $1.336 billion Down from $1.370 billion in the second quarter of 2025.
Q2 2026 net income $26 million Down from $41 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Certain information contained in Management’s Discussion and Analysis and in other parts of this report may be deemed forward-looking statements regarding events and financial trends that may affect the future operating results or financial positions of Robert Half Inc. (the “Company”). Forward-looking statements are not guarantees or promises that goals or targets will be met. These statements may be identified by words such as “anticipate,” “potential,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “target,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “expect,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “might,” “will,” or variations or negatives thereof or by similar or comparable words or phrases. In addition, historical, current and forward-looking information about the Company’s corporate responsibility and compliance programs, including targets or goals, may not be considered material for the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or other mandatory reporting purposes and may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing; on internal controls, diligence or processes that are evolving; on representations reviewed or provided by third parties; and on assumptions that are subject to change in the future. Forward-looking statements


are estimates only and are based on management’s current expectations; currently available information; and current strategy, plans or forecasts, and involve certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, often beyond the Company’s control and are inherently uncertain. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and outcomes, or the timing of these results or outcomes, to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the statements.
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: changes to or new interpretations of United States of America (“U.S.”) or international tax regulations; the global financial and economic situation; changes in levels of unemployment and other economic conditions in the U.S. or foreign countries where the Company does business, or in particular regions or industries; reduction in the supply of candidates for contract employment or the Company’s ability to attract candidates; the development, proliferation and adoption of artificial intelligence (“AI”) by the Company and the third parties it serves; the entry of new competitors into the marketplace or expansion by existing competitors; the ability of the Company to maintain existing client relationships and attract new clients in the context of changing economic or competitive conditions; the impact of competitive pressures, including any change in the demand for the Company’s services, or the Company’s ability to maintain its margins; the possibility of the Company incurring liability for its activities, including the activities of its engagement professionals, or for events impacting its engagement professionals on clients’ premises; the possibility that adverse publicity could impact the Company’s ability to attract and retain clients and candidates; the success of the Company in attracting, training and retaining qualified management personnel and other staff employees; the Company’s ability to comply with governmental regulations affecting personnel services businesses in particular or employer/employee relationships in general; whether there will be ongoing demand for Sarbanes-Oxley or other regulatory compliance services; the Company’s reliance on short-term contracts for a significant percentage of its business; litigation relating to prior or current transactions or activities, including litigation that may be disclosed from time to time in the Company’s SEC filings; the impact of extreme weather conditions on the Company and its candidates and clients; the ability of the Company to manage its international operations and comply with foreign laws and regulations; the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; the possibility that the additional costs the Company will incur as a result of health care or other reform legislation may adversely affect the Company’s profit margins or the demand for the Company’s services; the possibility that the Company’s computer and communications hardware and software systems could be damaged or their service interrupted, or that the Company could experience a cybersecurity breach; and the possibility that the Company may fail to maintain adequate financial and management controls, and as a result suffer errors in its financial reporting.
Additionally, with respect to Protiviti, other risks and uncertainties include the fact that future success will depend on its ability to retain employees and attract clients; there can be no assurance that there will be ongoing demand for broad-based consulting, regulatory compliance, technology services, public sector or other high-demand advisory services; failure to produce projected revenues could adversely affect financial results; and there is the possibility of involvement in litigation relating to prior or current transactions or activities.
A summary of additional risks and uncertainties can be found in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in the Company’s other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Because long-term contracts are not a significant part of the Company’s business, future results cannot be reliably predicted by considering past trends or extrapolating past results. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update information in this report, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, and notwithstanding any historical practice of doing so.

ROBERT HALF INC.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The financial results of Robert Half Inc. (the “Company”) are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the SEC. To help readers understand the Company’s financial performance, the Company supplements its GAAP financial results with the following non-GAAP measures: adjusted gross margin; adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses; adjusted operating income; and adjusted revenue growth rates.
The following measures: adjusted gross margin, adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses and adjusted operating income, include gains and losses on investments held to fund the Company’s obligations under employee deferred compensation plans. The Company provides these measures because they are used by management to review its operational results.
Adjusted revenue growth rates represent year-over-year revenue growth rates after removing the impacts on reported revenues from the changes in the number of billing days and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company provides this data because it focuses on the Company’s revenue growth rates attributable to operating activities and aids in evaluating revenue trends over time. The impacts from the changes in billing days and foreign currency exchange rates are calculated as follows:
•Billing days impact is calculated by dividing each comparative period’s reported revenues by the number of billing days for that period to arrive at a per billing day amount. Same billing day growth rates are then calculated based on the per billing day amounts. Management calculates a global, weighted-average number of billing days for each reporting period based upon inputs from all countries and all functional specializations and segments.
•Foreign currency impact is calculated by retranslating current-period international revenues, using foreign currency exchange rates from the prior year’s comparable period.
The non-GAAP financial measures provided herein may not provide information that is directly comparable to that provided by other companies in the Company’s industry, as other companies may calculate such financial results differently. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to amounts presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be a substitute for, or superior to, the information provided by GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided on the following pages.

(1)Service revenues for finance and accounting, administrative and customer support, and technology include intersegment revenues, which represent revenues from services provided to Protiviti in connection with the Company’s blended business solutions. Intersegment revenues for each functional specialization are aggregated and then eliminated as a single line item.
The non-GAAP financial measures included in the table above adjust for the following items:
Billing Days. The “As Reported” revenue growth rates are based upon reported revenues. Management calculates the billing day impact by dividing each comparative period’s reported revenues by the number of billing days for that period to arrive at a per billing day amount. Same billing day growth rates are then calculated based on the per billing day amounts. Management calculates a global, weighted-average number of billing days for each reporting period based upon input from all countries and all functional specializations and segments.
Foreign Currency Translation. The “As Reported” revenue growth rates are based upon reported revenues, which include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The foreign currency impact is calculated by retranslating current-period international revenues, using foreign currency exchange rates from the prior year’s comparable period.
The term “As Adjusted” means that the impact of different billing days and constant currency fluctuations are removed from the revenue growth rate calculation. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP year-over-year revenue growth rates to the “As Reported” year-over-year revenue growth rates is included herein, on Pages 10-12.
