Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary
The call was strongly positive overall, with record H1 results, 25% revenue growth, 29% adjusted EBITDA growth, a 31% margin, 185% AI revenue growth, expanding client relationships, successful cross-selling, and continued capability and geographic expansion. The main challenges were the GBP 1.6 million FX headwind, completed programs affecting organic growth, low seasonal and acquisition-related cash flow, higher net debt, acquisition-related interest and share issuance, and an acknowledged valuation gap. Highlights significantly outweighed the lowlights.
Management said the four pillar growth strategy remains the same: “We will continue to do organic growth,” “continue to deepen our client relationships,” “continue to do selective programmatic M&A,” and “look to sustain our premium margins”; the acquisition strategy “will be continuing,” and the company expects to “end the year with a significantly lower leverage position than the GBP 56.5 million” of net debt at H1 2026. The call also presented a scenario “where we have a 20% growth rate in revenue, EBITDA, and share price,” with the business becoming “broadly a GBP 1 billion market cap business by 2031,” with “18% dilution” and existing shareholders owning “roughly GBP 850 million” and “3x the value that it is today.”
- Record H1 Financial PerformanceH1 2026 revenue increased 25% to GBP 89.0 million, gross profit increased 26%, adjusted EBITDA increased 29% to GBP 27.6 million, and the adjusted EBITDA margin was 31.0%, up one percentage point on the prior comparable period.
- Strong Profit and EPS GrowthAdjusted profit before tax increased 25% to GBP 25.1 million, while adjusted diluted EPS increased 18%, including the impact of shares issued for the TRC and Kvadrant acquisitions.
- Rapid AI Revenue GrowthAI revenue increased 185% period-on-period in H1 versus H1 last year, reaching GBP 8 million. Management said demand for artificial intelligence is increasing and cited a Gartner study indicating that agentic AI could create a GBP 200 billion technology-services market opportunity over the next five years.
- AI Operating System and Senior-Led ModelThe company launched its AI Operating System and said it is producing strong results. Management stated that its senior-led model, with 30% of employees at principal level or above, allows AI to improve its competitive model and power delivery.
- Expansion of CapabilitiesThe company has built a full span of capabilities covering strategy and transformation, research and insights, digital experience, operational excellence, AI, data and technology, and Execution Edge, which focuses on activating human systems to support execution of the executive agenda.
- Deeper and Larger Client RelationshipsThe company had 35 gold clients generating GBP 1 million or more in trailing-12-month fees, up 13% year-on-year. Clients generating more than GBP 2 million in trailing-12-month fees increased to 24, up 50%, indicating deeper relationships and broader engagement across capabilities.
- Cross-Sell Growth and Inorganic StrategyCross-sell increased 27% to GBP 19 million of revenue in the period, compared with GBP 15 million in the previous period. Since the IPO, the company has created more than GBP 100 million of cross-sell revenue, supporting management's view that its inorganic strategy is working.
- Successful Kvadrant IntegrationKvadrant, acquired in January, has landed well, particularly through work alongside TRC Advisory. Kvadrant contributes Nordic consulting and strategy capabilities, including commercial transformation, go-to-market excellence, and transaction services for private equity.
- TRC Earn-Out Achieved in FullTRC Advisory achieved 100% of its FY 2025 earn-out, and the company said TRC is performing exceptionally well.
- Organic and Acquired Revenue ContributionRevenue increased from GBP 71.4 million to GBP 89.0 million. Organic revenue growth was 5%, consisting of GBP 7.6 million of net growth in existing clients and GBP 8 million from new clients, while acquisitions contributed GBP 15.7 million, including five months of Kvadrant and the impact of TRC Advisory.
- Strong Client Case Study OutcomesClient work included a growth strategy expected to produce a 16% increase in a client's first-year sales forecast, a research and insights platform associated with demand generation increasing from $1.7 billion to $2.5 billion and improving brand perception, and a digital redesign that generated more than a 12x increase in online conversion and a more than 170% increase in online form submissions.
- Recognition as a Consulting Market LeaderThe company received independent recognition from Forbes as the best management consulting firm in the Americas and as one of the world's best consulting firms, and was named by the Financial Times as one of the U.K.'s leading management consultants.
- Leadership and Talent StrengtheningBill Michael joined the board as an Independent Non-Executive Director. The company added four group partners during the period, including Kvadrant founder and CEO Thomas, promoted two principals to partner, and hired three external partners to strengthen AI, technology, and industry expertise.
- Partner Team InvestmentThe average number of client-facing partners increased from 32 in H1 2025 to 40 in H1 2026. Management also stated that it has doubled revenue per partner over the past five to six years, although the figure was fairly constant year-on-year in this half.
- Continued Growth Strategy and InvestmentManagement said the four-pillar strategy remains unchanged: organic growth, deeper client relationships, selective programmatic M&A, and sustaining premium margins. The company also continued investing in its platform, capabilities, global footprint, and targeted investor outreach, including appointing Canaccord Genuity as a second broker and meeting new U.S. investors.
- Cash Collection and Credit QualityAlthough trade and other receivables increased, management said there were no credit-risk concerns because the clients on longer payment terms are blue-chip clients. Of GBP 36 million of trade and other receivables at June 30, less than GBP 5 million remained for collection at the time of the call, with the vast majority expected to be collected in the next few weeks.
- Limited Historical Dilution from Incentive ProgramsThe company has experienced 11% actual dilution since 2020, all driven by M&A rather than partner and employee incentives, which have been offset with cash. Management stated that only 30%-40% of granted options are expected to vest because of performance requirements and attrition.
