At this time, I would like to remind everyone that management will be commenting on results for the second quarter ended November 29, 2025. They will also refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures. An explanation and reconciliation of these measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the press release issued today. Today's press release can be viewed in the Investor Relations section of RGP's website and filed today with the SEC. Also during this call, management may make forward-looking statements regarding plans, initiatives and strategies and the anticipated financial performance of the company.μ§€κΈˆλΆ€ν„° κ²½μ˜μ§„κ»˜μ„œλŠ” 2025λ…„ 11μ›” 29일 마감된 2λΆ„κΈ° 싀적에 λŒ€ν•΄ 논평할 μ˜ˆμ •μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ˜ν•œ νŠΉμ • λΉ„-GAAP μž¬λ¬΄μ§€ν‘œλ“€μ„ μ–ΈκΈ‰ν•˜μ‹€ κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ§€ν‘œλ“€μ— λŒ€ν•œ μ„€λͺ…κ³Ό κ°€μž₯ 비ꡐ κ°€λŠ₯ν•œ GAAP μž¬λ¬΄μ§€ν‘œμ™€μ˜ 쑰정내역은 였늘 λ°œν‘œλœ λ³΄λ„μžλ£Œμ— ν¬ν•¨λ˜μ–΄ μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 였늘의 λ³΄λ„μžλ£ŒλŠ” RGP μ›Ήμ‚¬μ΄νŠΈμ˜ 투자자 관계(IR) μ„Ήμ…˜μ—μ„œ ν™•μΈν•˜μ‹€ 수 있으며, 였늘 SEC에 μ œμΆœλ˜μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ˜ν•œ λ³Έ 컨퍼런슀콜 쀑에 κ²½μ˜μ§„μ€ νšŒμ‚¬μ˜ κ³„νš, μ΄λ‹ˆμ…”ν‹°λΈŒ, μ „λž΅ 및 μ˜ˆμƒ μž¬λ¬΄μ„±κ³Όμ— κ΄€ν•œ λ―Έλž˜μ˜ˆμΈ‘μ§„μˆ (forward-looking statements)을 ν•  수 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Before we get into the quarterly earnings discussion, I want to thank our leadership and employees for welcoming me as the company's newly appointed CEO and for supporting a smooth transition. I also want to recognize our teams for maintaining a strong focus on our clients and our business during this time. I mentioned both our clients and our business as focal points because we have employees who serve our clients' needs as well as employees who support the needs of our client service professionals and our business. Both employee groups are critical to our success.뢄기별 싀적 λ…Όμ˜μ— μ•žμ„œ, μ‹ μž„ CEO둜 μ €λ₯Ό ν™˜μ˜ν•΄μ£Όμ‹œκ³  μ›ν™œν•œ μ „ν™˜μ„ 지원해주신 κ²½μ˜μ§„κ³Ό μž„μ§μ› μ—¬λŸ¬λΆ„κ»˜ κ°μ‚¬λ“œλ¦½λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ˜ν•œ 이 μ‹œκΈ°μ— 고객과 사업에 λŒ€ν•œ κ°•λ ₯ν•œ 집쀑λ ₯을 μœ μ§€ν•΄μ€€ 우리 νŒ€λ“€μ—κ²Œλ„ κ°μ‚¬μ˜ 말씀을 μ „ν•˜κ³  μ‹ΆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 고객과 사업을 쀑점 μ‚¬ν•­μœΌλ‘œ μ–ΈκΈ‰ν•œ μ΄μœ λŠ”, μš°λ¦¬μ—κ²ŒλŠ” 고객의 λ‹ˆμ¦ˆλ₯Ό 직접 μ„œλΉ„μŠ€ν•˜λŠ” μ§μ›λ“€λΏλ§Œ μ•„λ‹ˆλΌ 고객 μ„œλΉ„μŠ€ μ „λ¬Έκ°€λ“€κ³Ό μ‚¬μ—…μ˜ λ‹ˆμ¦ˆλ₯Ό μ§€μ›ν•˜λŠ” 직원듀도 있기 λ•Œλ¬Έμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 두 직원 κ·Έλ£Ή λͺ¨λ‘ 우리의 성곡에 맀우 μ€‘μš”ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.
For those of you on today's call with whom I have not yet had an opportunity to speak, I look forward to doing so in the near future. I recognize that you have invested time understanding the company, its services and markets, and we appreciate your interest and effort. Regarding our business, let me start by saying my enthusiasm for the company's future has grown since stepping into this role in November. The deeper I get into our business, the more impressed I am with the talent and capabilities here, but even more so with the commitment and enthusiasm I find when talking with our people.였늘 컨퍼런슀 μ½œμ— μ°Έμ„ν•˜μ‹  λΆ„λ“€ 쀑 아직 μ œκ°€ 직접 λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦΄ κΈ°νšŒκ°€ μ—†μ—ˆλ˜ λΆ„λ“€κ³ΌλŠ” κ°€κΉŒμš΄ μ‹œμΌ 내에 λŒ€ν™”ν•  수 있기λ₯Ό κΈ°λŒ€ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ—¬λŸ¬λΆ„κ»˜μ„œ νšŒμ‚¬μ™€ μ„œλΉ„μŠ€, 그리고 μ‹œμž₯을 μ΄ν•΄ν•˜λŠ” 데 μ‹œκ°„μ„ νˆ¬μžν•΄ μ£Όμ‹  것을 μ•Œκ³  있으며, 관심과 λ…Έλ ₯에 κ°μ‚¬λ“œλ¦½λ‹ˆλ‹€.

The quality of our people is reflected in the caliber of long-standing and newly activated clients who trust us to assist them with issues they view as important to their success. I also want to say that while the market for our services has been more challenging and uncertain of late for a variety of reasons, I believe there is a sufficiently large market of client needs for which RGP is positioned to serve that will allow us to grow our business and financial results. However, doing so requires that we focus on what gives us a competitive right to win.우리 인λ ₯의 μš°μˆ˜μ„±μ€ μžμ‚¬μ˜ 성곡에 μ€‘μš”ν•˜λ‹€κ³  μ—¬κΈ°λŠ” λ¬Έμ œλ“€μ— λŒ€ν•΄ 저희λ₯Ό μ‹ λ’°ν•˜κ³  μ˜λ’°ν•˜λŠ” 였랜 고객사듀과 μ‹ κ·œ κ³ κ°μ‚¬λ“€μ˜ μˆ˜μ€€μ—μ„œ 잘 λ“œλŸ¬λ‚©λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ˜ν•œ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬κ³  싢은 것은, 졜근 μ—¬λŸ¬ κ°€μ§€ 이유둜 저희 μ„œλΉ„μŠ€ μ‹œμž₯이 λ”μš± μ–΄λ ΅κ³  λΆˆν™•μ‹€ν•΄μ‘Œμ§€λ§Œ, RGPκ°€ μ„œλΉ„μŠ€λ₯Ό μ œκ³΅ν•  수 μžˆλŠ” 고객 λ‹ˆμ¦ˆμ˜ μ‹œμž₯ 규λͺ¨κ°€ μΆ©λΆ„νžˆ 크기 λ•Œλ¬Έμ— 사업과 재무 싀적을 μ„±μž₯μ‹œν‚¬ 수 μžˆμ„ κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ λ―Ώκ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ‹€λ§Œ, 이λ₯Ό λ‹¬μ„±ν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•΄μ„œλŠ” μš°λ¦¬μ—κ²Œ 경쟁 μš°μœ„λ₯Ό μ œκ³΅ν•˜λŠ” μš”μ†Œμ— 집쀑해야 ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.
That is providing relevant skills and solutions to our clients, which satisfy their needs at a price that brings them better overall value than other providers in the marketplace. Our balance sheet and liquidity are strong, which is a testament to the resilience of our people and client relationships as well as the flexibility of our business model. However, our quarterly earnings results also reflect the continued lack of positive momentum for our consolidated revenue and adjusted EBITDA.μ΄λŠ” 고객의 λ‹ˆμ¦ˆλ₯Ό μΆ©μ‘±μ‹œν‚€λŠ” κ΄€λ ¨ 기술과 μ†”λ£¨μ…˜μ„ μ‹œμž₯의 λ‹€λ₯Έ 곡급업체보닀 더 λ‚˜μ€ μ „λ°˜μ μΈ κ°€μΉ˜λ₯Ό μ œκ³΅ν•˜λŠ” κ°€κ²©μœΌλ‘œ μ œκ³΅ν•˜λŠ” κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 우리의 λŒ€μ°¨λŒ€μ‘°ν‘œμ™€ μœ λ™μ„±μ€ κ²¬κ³ ν•œλ°, μ΄λŠ” 우리 직원듀과 고객 κ΄€κ³„μ˜ 회볡λ ₯은 λ¬Όλ‘  λΉ„μ¦ˆλ‹ˆμŠ€ λͺ¨λΈμ˜ μœ μ—°μ„±μ„ μž…μ¦ν•˜λŠ” κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ·ΈλŸ¬λ‚˜ λΆ„κΈ° 싀적 κ²°κ³ΌλŠ” λ˜ν•œ μ—°κ²° 맀좜과 μ‘°μ • EBITDA에 λŒ€ν•œ 긍정적 λͺ¨λ©˜ν…€μ΄ μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ 뢀쑱함을 λ°˜μ˜ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
These results underscore the need to take decisive actions to better align our cost structure with our current revenue levels, refocus our On-Demand offerings to address the evolving needs of our clients and scale our Consulting business to deliver high-value solutions to both existing and new clients. These 3 points will form the basis of our strategy going forward. We have already made progress this quarter in reducing our cost structure to better align it with our current revenue levels, and we will continue this work in the third quarter.μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ 싀적은 ν˜„μž¬ 맀좜 μˆ˜μ€€μ— 맞좰 λΉ„μš© ꡬ쑰λ₯Ό 보닀 효과적으둜 μ‘°μ •ν•˜κ³ , κ³ κ°λ“€μ˜ λ³€ν™”ν•˜λŠ” λ‹ˆμ¦ˆλ₯Ό μΆ©μ‘±μ‹œν‚€κΈ° μœ„ν•΄ On-Demand μ„œλΉ„μŠ€λ₯Ό μž¬μ •λΉ„ν•˜λ©°, κΈ°μ‘΄ 고객과 μ‹ κ·œ 고객 λͺ¨λ‘μ—κ²Œ κ³ λΆ€κ°€κ°€μΉ˜ μ†”λ£¨μ…˜μ„ μ œκ³΅ν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•΄ μ»¨μ„€νŒ… 사업을 ν™•λŒ€ν•΄μ•Ό ν•  ν•„μš”μ„±μ„ κ°•μ‘°ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이 μ„Έ κ°€μ§€ 사항이 ν–₯ν›„ 우리 μ „λž΅μ˜ 기반이 될 κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 이미 이번 뢄기에 ν˜„μž¬ 맀좜 μˆ˜μ€€μ— 맞좰 λΉ„μš© ꡬ쑰λ₯Ό μ ˆκ°ν•˜λŠ” 데 진전을 μ΄λ£¨μ—ˆμœΌλ©°, 3뢄기에도 μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μž‘μ—…μ„ 지속할 κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Improving our financial results in the On-Demand segment requires that we better understand our clients' current needs and adjust our ability to provide consultants that fit those needs. Scaling our Consulting business requires identifying and hiring experienced consulting professionals to grow our ability to deliver value-added solutions to our clients. In the evolving consulting marketplace, we are finding that these types of professionals understand and are excited about the competitive nature of RGP's service offering model and value proposition it offers to clients. We believe this will make us a strong employer choice for such professionals going forward.μ˜¨λ””λ§¨λ“œ λΆ€λ¬Έμ˜ 재무 싀적을 κ°œμ„ ν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•΄μ„œλŠ” 고객의 ν˜„μž¬ λ‹ˆμ¦ˆλ₯Ό 더 잘 μ΄ν•΄ν•˜κ³ , μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ λ‹ˆμ¦ˆμ— λΆ€ν•©ν•˜λŠ” μ»¨μ„€ν„΄νŠΈλ₯Ό μ œκ³΅ν•  수 μžˆλŠ” μ—­λŸ‰μ„ μ‘°μ •ν•΄μ•Ό ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ»¨μ„€νŒ… μ‚¬μ—…μ˜ ν™•μž₯을 μœ„ν•΄μ„œλŠ” κ²½ν—˜μ΄ ν’λΆ€ν•œ μ»¨μ„€νŒ… 전문가듀을 λ°œκ΅΄ν•˜κ³  μ±„μš©ν•˜μ—¬ κ³ κ°μ—κ²Œ λΆ€κ°€κ°€μΉ˜ μ†”λ£¨μ…˜μ„ μ œκ³΅ν•  수 μžˆλŠ” μ—­λŸ‰μ„ ν‚€μ›Œλ‚˜κ°€μ•Ό ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ§„ν™”ν•˜λŠ” μ»¨μ„€νŒ… μ‹œμž₯μ—μ„œ μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μœ ν˜•μ˜ 전문가듀이 RGP의 μ„œλΉ„μŠ€ 제곡 λͺ¨λΈμ˜ 경쟁λ ₯κ³Ό κ³ κ°μ—κ²Œ μ œκ³΅ν•˜λŠ” κ°€μΉ˜ μ œμ•ˆμ„ μ΄ν•΄ν•˜κ³  이에 λŒ€ν•΄ ν₯λ―Έλ₯Ό 느끼고 μžˆμŒμ„ ν™•μΈν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” 이것이 ν–₯ν›„ μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ „λ¬Έκ°€λ“€μ—κ²Œ RGPλ₯Ό κ°•λ ₯ν•œ 고용주 μ„ νƒμ§€λ‘œ λ§Œλ“€μ–΄μ€„ 것이라고 λ―ΏμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
We also believe that RGP's ability to provide in-demand finance, risk, operational performance and technology solutions in 3 differing delivery models that is On-Demand, Consulting and Outsourced Services at a price point that is competitive to other traditional professional service firms gives us an opportunity to be uniquely successful in winning and serving clients' needs in the changing landscape for such services. Lastly, no professional services firm can succeed in the present and future market without understanding how artificial intelligence, automation and other technologies are impacting their clients' businesses and how it impacts the professional services they seek and procure.λ˜ν•œ RGPλŠ” μ˜¨λ””λ§¨λ“œ(On-Demand), μ»¨μ„€νŒ…, μ•„μ›ƒμ†Œμ‹± μ„œλΉ„μŠ€λΌλŠ” 3κ°€μ§€ μ°¨λ³„ν™”λœ 제곡 λͺ¨λΈμ„ 톡해 μˆ˜μš”κ°€ 높은 재무, 리슀크, 운영 μ„±κ³Ό 및 기술 μ†”λ£¨μ…˜μ„ λ‹€λ₯Έ 전톡적인 μ „λ¬Έ μ„œλΉ„μŠ€ κΈ°μ—…λ“€κ³Ό 경쟁λ ₯ μžˆλŠ” κ°€κ²©λŒ€λ‘œ μ œκ³΅ν•  수 μžˆλŠ” μ—­λŸ‰μ„ λ³΄μœ ν•˜κ³  있으며, μ΄λŠ” λ³€ν™”ν•˜λŠ” μ„œλΉ„μŠ€ ν™˜κ²½μ—μ„œ 고객의 λ‹ˆμ¦ˆλ₯Ό ν™•λ³΄ν•˜κ³  μΆ©μ‘±μ‹œν‚€λŠ” 데 μžˆμ–΄ 독보적인 성곡 기회λ₯Ό μ œκ³΅ν•œλ‹€κ³  λ―ΏμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ§ˆμ§€λ§‰μœΌλ‘œ, μ–΄λ– ν•œ μ „λ¬Έ μ„œλΉ„μŠ€ 기업도 인곡지λŠ₯, μžλ™ν™” 및 기타 κΈ°μˆ λ“€μ΄ 고객의 λΉ„μ¦ˆλ‹ˆμŠ€μ— λ―ΈμΉ˜λŠ” 영ν–₯κ³Ό 고객이 ν•„μš”λ‘œ ν•˜κ³  μ‘°λ‹¬ν•˜λŠ” μ „λ¬Έ μ„œλΉ„μŠ€μ— λ―ΈμΉ˜λŠ” 영ν–₯을 μ΄ν•΄ν•˜μ§€ λͺ»ν•œλ‹€λ©΄ ν˜„μž¬μ™€ 미래 μ‹œμž₯μ—μ„œ 성곡할 수 μ—†μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
This is no different for RGP, and we are actively working to understand how our clients' needs are impacted by their own AI and automation strategies. Likewise, at RGP, we are continuing to implement additional AI and automation tools across our business processes to enhance the cost effectiveness of our client service delivery and internal business support functions. The work we have discussed so far today and the achievement of the expected results will certainly require time and disciplined execution. But the path forward is clear, and we are confident these actions will strengthen our business and create long-term value for our clients and shareholders.μ΄λŠ” RGPμ—κ²Œλ„ λ‹€λ₯΄μ§€ μ•ŠμœΌλ©°, μš°λ¦¬λŠ” κ³ κ°λ“€μ˜ 자체 AI 및 μžλ™ν™” μ „λž΅μ΄ κ·Έλ“€μ˜ λ‹ˆμ¦ˆμ— μ–΄λ–€ 영ν–₯을 λ―ΈμΉ˜λŠ”μ§€ μ΄ν•΄ν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•΄ 적극적으둜 λ…Έλ ₯ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ§ˆμ°¬κ°€μ§€λ‘œ, RGPμ—μ„œλŠ” 고객 μ„œλΉ„μŠ€ 제곡 및 λ‚΄λΆ€ 업무 지원 κΈ°λŠ₯의 λΉ„μš© νš¨μœ¨μ„±μ„ ν–₯μƒμ‹œν‚€κΈ° μœ„ν•΄ λΉ„μ¦ˆλ‹ˆμŠ€ ν”„λ‘œμ„ΈμŠ€ μ „λ°˜μ— 걸쳐 좔가적인 AI 및 μžλ™ν™” 도ꡬλ₯Ό μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ κ΅¬ν˜„ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 였늘 λ…Όμ˜ν•œ μž‘μ—…κ³Ό κΈ°λŒ€λ˜λŠ” 결과의 달성은 λΆ„λͺ…νžˆ μ‹œκ°„κ³Ό 체계적인 싀행이 ν•„μš”ν•  κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ·ΈλŸ¬λ‚˜ μ•žμœΌλ‘œ λ‚˜μ•„κ°ˆ λ°©ν–₯은 λͺ…ν™•ν•˜λ©°, μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ μ‘°μΉ˜λ“€μ΄ 우리 λΉ„μ¦ˆλ‹ˆμŠ€λ₯Ό κ°•ν™”ν•˜κ³  고객과 주주듀을 μœ„ν•œ μž₯기적 κ°€μΉ˜λ₯Ό μ°½μΆœν•  것이라고 ν™•μ‹ ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.
With that, let me turn the call over to Bhadresh. Bhadresh Patel
Chief Operating Officer

Thank you, Roger, and good afternoon, everyone. Before I begin, I want to welcome Roger as our new Chief Executive Officer. With Roger's leadership and fresh perspective, we are well positioned to strengthen execution, accelerate our strategic priorities and drive operational discipline across the organization, capitalizing on our inherent strength. In the second quarter, we exceeded expectations in adjusted EBITDA despite revenue coming in below consensus, reflecting disciplined cost management and execution.

In North America, expanded go-to-market initiatives across our On-Demand and Consulting segments, along with stronger cross-practice collaboration drove improved pipeline activity. Our Europe and Asia Pac segment delivered both year-over-year and sequential growth. While Outsourced Services revenue remained essentially flat versus the prior year, we achieved meaningful improvement in gross margins. Overall, we remain focused on value-based pricing, targeted investments in leadership and service capabilities to drive momentum and cost discipline.

While Consulting segment revenue declined year-over-year, we delivered essentially flat sequential revenue with growth in select areas of CFO advisory and digital transformation. Bill rates continue to improve both sequentially and year-over-year with higher increases on new projects, reflecting the strong demand for our specialized services. We're also moving up the value chain with existing clients, for example, highlighted in Q2 by a large technology company selecting RGP as a global preferred consulting provider, expanding our role from On-Demand Talent into Advisory Services on mission-critical work streams.μ»¨μ„€νŒ… λΆ€λ¬Έ 맀좜이 μ „λ…„ λŒ€λΉ„ κ°μ†Œν–ˆμ§€λ§Œ, CFO 자문 및 λ””μ§€ν„Έ μ „ν™˜ νŠΉμ • μ˜μ—­μ—μ„œμ˜ μ„±μž₯으둜 μ „λΆ„κΈ° λŒ€λΉ„ λ§€μΆœμ€ 사싀상 보합세λ₯Ό μœ μ§€ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 청ꡬ λ‹¨κ°€λŠ” μ „λΆ„κΈ° λŒ€λΉ„μ™€ μ „λ…„ λŒ€λΉ„ λͺ¨λ‘ μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ κ°œμ„ λ˜κ³  있으며, μ‹ κ·œ ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈμ—μ„œ 더 높은 인상λ₯ μ„ 보이고 μžˆμ–΄ λ‹Ήμ‚¬μ˜ μ „λ¬Έ μ„œλΉ„μŠ€μ— λŒ€ν•œ κ°•λ ₯ν•œ μˆ˜μš”λ₯Ό λ°˜μ˜ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ˜ν•œ κΈ°μ‘΄ κ³ κ°λ“€κ³Όμ˜ κ΄€κ³„μ—μ„œλ„ κ°€μΉ˜ μ‚¬μŠ¬ μƒμœ„λ‘œ μ΄λ™ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 예λ₯Ό λ“€μ–΄ 2λΆ„κΈ°μ—λŠ” ν•œ λŒ€ν˜• 기술 기업이 RGPλ₯Ό κΈ€λ‘œλ²Œ μš°μ„  μ»¨μ„€νŒ… κ³΅κΈ‰μ—…μ²΄λ‘œ μ„ μ •ν•˜μ—¬, λ‹Ήμ‚¬μ˜ 역할을 μ˜¨λ””λ§¨λ“œ 인재 μ œκ³΅μ—μ„œ λ―Έμ…˜ 크리티컬 업무 μ˜μ—­μ˜ 자문 μ„œλΉ„μŠ€λ‘œ ν™•λŒ€ν•œ 사둀가 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
As part of our strategy to grow the Consulting segment, we'll complete the integration of Reference Point by the end of the fiscal year. Combining Reference Point's capability with our consulting platform and leadership will enhance collaboration, streamline go-to-market execution and strengthen our focus on CFO advisory and digital transformation. This positions us to deepen relationships with existing On-Demand clients while also expanding our reach to new clients. Finally, on Consulting, I want to thank Jon Bohlman as he begins a well-earned retirement. His vision and commitment to both client and employee value leave a lasting impact on RGP.우리의 μ»¨μ„€νŒ… λΆ€λ¬Έ μ„±μž₯ μ „λž΅μ˜ μΌν™˜μœΌλ‘œ, νšŒκ³„μ—°λ„ λ§κΉŒμ§€ Reference Point의 톡합을 μ™„λ£Œν•  μ˜ˆμ •μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

I'm pleased to announce Scott Rottmann who joined RGP in August, will succeed Jon as President of Consulting Services, leading our CFO advisory and digital transformation offerings. Under Scott's leadership, we will strengthen our Integrated Consulting segment and deliver client value across strategy, transformation and On-Demand Talent. Turning to On-Demand. Revenue declined year-over-year, but continues to show signs of sequential stabilization, supported by higher average bill rates compared to both the same period last year and the prior quarter.8월에 RGP에 ν•©λ₯˜ν•œ Scott Rottmann이 Jon의 ν›„μž„μœΌλ‘œ μ»¨μ„€νŒ… μ„œλΉ„μŠ€ 사μž₯직을 λ§‘μ•„ CFO 자문 및 λ””μ§€ν„Έ μ „ν™˜ μ„œλΉ„μŠ€λ₯Ό 이끌게 될 κ²ƒμž„μ„ 기쁘게 λ°œν‘œν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.

We remain focused on execution and disciplined pipeline management with emphasis on skills for ERP, finance transformation, data and supply chain. Across North America, several markets delivered sequential revenue growth, and in markets that are lagging, we're in the process of bringing in new leadership. Turning to International. Our Europe and Asia Pac segment delivered both year-over-year and sequential revenue growth in the second quarter, supported by higher weekly revenue run rates and improved bill rates versus the prior year while maintaining stable gross margins.μš°λ¦¬λŠ” ERP, 재무 ν˜μ‹ , 데이터 및 곡급망 λΆ„μ•Όμ˜ μ—­λŸ‰μ— 쀑점을 두고 μ‹€ν–‰λ ₯κ³Ό 체계적인 νŒŒμ΄ν”„λΌμΈ 관리에 μ§‘μ€‘ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 뢁미 μ „μ—­μ—μ„œ μ—¬λŸ¬ μ‹œμž₯이 μ „λΆ„κΈ° λŒ€λΉ„ 맀좜 μ„±μž₯을 λ‹¬μ„±ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, λΆ€μ§„ν•œ μ‹œμž₯의 경우 μƒˆλ‘œμš΄ 리더십을 μ˜μž…ν•˜λŠ” 과정에 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν•΄μ™Έ μ‚¬μ—…μœΌλ‘œ λˆˆμ„ 돌리면, 유럽 및 μ•„μ‹œμ•„νƒœν‰μ–‘ 뢀문은 2뢄기에 μ „λ…„ 동기 λŒ€λΉ„ 및 μ „λΆ„κΈ° λŒ€λΉ„ 맀좜 μ„±μž₯을 λͺ¨λ‘ λ‹¬μ„±ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ΄λŠ” μ£Όκ°„ 맀좜 런레이트 증가와 μ „λ…„ λŒ€λΉ„ κ°œμ„ λœ 청ꡬ 단가에 νž˜μž…μ€ 것이며, λ™μ‹œμ— μ•ˆμ •μ μΈ 맀좜총이읡λ₯ μ„ μœ μ§€ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

With that, I'll now turn the call over to Jenn. Jennifer Ryu

While gross margin of 37.1% was below the outlook, run rate SG&A expense of $39.7 million was significantly more favorable, enabling us to deliver adjusted EBITDA of $4 million in the second quarter or a 3.4% adjusted EBITDA margin. We incurred $11.9 million of onetime expenses in the quarter in connection with the CEO transition and a reduction in force, contributing to a GAAP net loss of $12.7 million. I'll now provide some additional color on our revenue, gross margin and run rate SG&A expense.

While On-Demand and Consulting segment revenues remained soft, we are encouraged by the steady year-over-year growth in the Europe and Asia Pac and Outsourced Services segments. We continue to focus on improving sales execution as well as aligning both our consulting solutions and On-Demand Talent pool to client demand to drive more pipeline growth and faster revenue conversion. Gross margin for the quarter was 37.1% compared to 38.5% in the prior year quarter.

However, leverage on indirect cost of service was unfavorable, notably related to healthcare costs and paid time off, including higher holiday pay due to Thanksgiving coming in the second quarter of this year. Enterprise-wide average bill rate was $121 constant currency versus $123 a year ago, driven mostly by revenue mix shift toward the Asia Pacific region. On an individual segment basis, we saw a 6.4% improvement in Consulting and a 2.4% improvement in both On-Demand [ in ] Europe and Asia Pac segments. As we continue to execute our pricing strategy and scale the Consulting business to deliver higher value, larger scale engagements, we expect to gain more upside in bill rates.κ·ΈλŸ¬λ‚˜ κ°„μ ‘ μ„œλΉ„μŠ€ λΉ„μš©μ— λŒ€ν•œ λ ˆλ²„λ¦¬μ§€λŠ” λΆˆλ¦¬ν–ˆλŠ”λ°, 특히 μ˜λ£ŒλΉ„μš©κ³Ό μœ κΈ‰νœ΄κ°€μ™€ 관련이 μžˆμ—ˆμœΌλ©°, μ˜¬ν•΄ μΆ”μˆ˜κ°μ‚¬μ ˆμ΄ 2뢄기에 ν¬ν•¨λ˜λ©΄μ„œ 휴일 μˆ˜λ‹Ήμ΄ μ¦κ°€ν•œ 영ν–₯이 μžˆμ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 전사 평균 청ꡬ λ‹¨κ°€λŠ” λΆˆλ³€ν™˜μœ¨ κΈ°μ€€ 121λ‹¬λŸ¬λ‘œ 전년도 123λ‹¬λŸ¬ λŒ€λΉ„ ν•˜λ½ν–ˆλŠ”λ°, μ΄λŠ” 주둜 μ•„μ‹œμ•„νƒœν‰μ–‘ μ§€μ—­μœΌλ‘œμ˜ 맀좜 믹슀 변화에 κΈ°μΈν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ°œλ³„ λΆ€λ¬Έλ³„λ‘œ μ‚΄νŽ΄λ³΄λ©΄, μ»¨μ„€νŒ… λΆ€λ¬Έμ—μ„œ 6.4% κ°œμ„ , μ˜¨λ””λ§¨λ“œ 유럽 및 μ•„μ‹œμ•„νƒœν‰μ–‘ λΆ€λ¬Έ λͺ¨λ‘μ—μ„œ 2.4% κ°œμ„ μ„ ν™•μΈν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬κ°€ 가격 μ „λž΅μ„ μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ μ‹€ν–‰ν•˜κ³  μ»¨μ„€νŒ… 사업을 ν™•λŒ€ν•˜μ—¬ 더 높은 κ°€μΉ˜μ™€ 더 큰 규λͺ¨μ˜ ν”„λ‘œμ νŠΈλ₯Ό μ œκ³΅ν•¨μ— 따라, 청ꡬ λ‹¨κ°€μ—μ„œ 더 λ§Žμ€ μƒμŠΉ μ—¬λ ₯을 확보할 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Now on to our SG&A and cost structure. While we have been on a continuous journey to reduce costs over the last few years, we are conducting an even deeper assessment across the entire organization to streamline organizational structure, simplify processes and adopt automation and AI to ensure our cost structure is adequately sized to the current revenue levels. The assessment is near completion, and we expect to implement the cost actions over a 12-month period. In October, we executed a reduction in force, the first in the series of actions to come in 2026.SG&A 및 λΉ„μš© ꡬ쑰에 λŒ€ν•΄ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦¬κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ§€λ‚œ λͺ‡ λ…„κ°„ μ§€μ†μ μœΌλ‘œ λΉ„μš© μ ˆκ°μ„ μΆ”μ§„ν•΄ μ™”μ§€λ§Œ, ν˜„μž¬ 쑰직 ꡬ쑰λ₯Ό κ°„μ†Œν™”ν•˜κ³  ν”„λ‘œμ„ΈμŠ€λ₯Ό λ‹¨μˆœν™”ν•˜λ©° μžλ™ν™”μ™€ AIλ₯Ό λ„μž…ν•˜μ—¬ ν˜„μž¬ 맀좜 μˆ˜μ€€μ— μ ν•©ν•œ λΉ„μš© ꡬ쑰λ₯Ό ν™•λ³΄ν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•΄ μ „μ‚¬μ μœΌλ‘œ λ”μš± 심측적인 평가λ₯Ό μ§„ν–‰ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν‰κ°€λŠ” 거의 μ™„λ£Œ 단계에 있으며, ν–₯ν›„ 12κ°œμ›”μ— 걸쳐 λΉ„μš© 절감 쑰치λ₯Ό μ‹œν–‰ν•  μ˜ˆμ •μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 10μ›”μ—λŠ” 인λ ₯ 감좕을 λ‹¨ν–‰ν–ˆμœΌλ©°, μ΄λŠ” 2026년에 μ΄μ–΄μ§ˆ 일련의 쑰치 쀑 첫 λ²ˆμ§Έμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.
The risk impacted 5% of our management and administrative headcount and is expected to yield annual savings of $6 million to $8 million. Back to our improved SG&A performance for the second quarter, enterprise run rate SG&A expense for the quarter was $39.7 million, a 15% improvement from $46.5 million a year ago. Management compensation expense improved significantly by $3 million as a result of the reduction in force we executed this quarter and at the end of fiscal '25. The remainder of the year-over-year improvement in SG&A is attributable to lower variable compensation and reduced SG&A spend, including travel, occupancy and professional services.이번 ꡬ쑰쑰정은 κ²½μ˜μ§„ 및 관리직 인λ ₯의 5%에 영ν–₯을 미쳀으며, μ—°κ°„ 600만 λ‹¬λŸ¬μ—μ„œ 800만 λ‹¬λŸ¬μ˜ λΉ„μš© 절감 νš¨κ³Όκ°€ μ˜ˆμƒλ©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 2λΆ„κΈ° κ°œμ„ λœ SG&A μ‹€μ μœΌλ‘œ λŒμ•„κ°€μ„œ, λ‹Ή λΆ„κΈ° 전사 런레이트 SG&A λΉ„μš©μ€ 3,970만 λ‹¬λŸ¬λ‘œ μ „λ…„ 동기 4,650만 λ‹¬λŸ¬ λŒ€λΉ„ 15% κ°œμ„ λ˜μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ²½μ˜μ§„ λ³΄μƒλΉ„μš©μ€ 이번 뢄기와 2025 νšŒκ³„μ—°λ„ 말에 μ‹€ν–‰ν•œ 인λ ₯ κ°μΆ•μ˜ 결과둜 300만 λ‹¬λŸ¬ 크게 κ°œμ„ λ˜μ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Next, I'll provide some additional color on segment performance. All year-over-year percentage comparisons for revenue are adjusted for business days and currency impact. And as a reminder, segment adjusted EBITDA excludes certain shared corporate costs. Revenue for our On-Demand segment was $43 million, a decline of 18.4% versus prior year quarter.

With cash on hand, combined with available borrowing capacity under our credit facility, we will continue to take a balanced approach to capital allocation between investing in the business to drive growth and returning cash to shareholders through dividends and opportunistic share buybacks under our repurchase program, which had $79 million remaining at the end of the quarter. I'll now close with our third quarter outlook. Early third quarter non-holiday weekly revenue run rate has been largely consistent with the second quarter. As expected, due to the midweek timing of Christmas and New Year's Day, revenues from those 2 holiday weeks were much softer.보유 ν˜„κΈˆκ³Ό μ‹ μš© ν•œλ„ λ‚΄ κ°€μš© μ°¨μž… λŠ₯λ ₯을 κ²°ν•©ν•˜μ—¬, μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μ„±μž₯을 κ²¬μΈν•˜κΈ° μœ„ν•œ 사업 νˆ¬μžμ™€ λ°°λ‹Ή 및 μžμ‚¬μ£Ό λ§€μž… ν”„λ‘œκ·Έλž¨μ„ ν†΅ν•œ μ£Όμ£Ό ν™˜μ› μ‚¬μ΄μ—μ„œ κ· ν˜• 작힌 자본 λ°°λΆ„ μ ‘κ·Ό 방식을 지속할 κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. λΆ„κΈ° 말 κΈ°μ€€ μžμ‚¬μ£Ό λ§€μž… ν”„λ‘œκ·Έλž¨μ˜ μž”μ—¬ ν•œλ„λŠ” 7,900만 λ‹¬λŸ¬μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이제 3λΆ„κΈ° μ „λ§μœΌλ‘œ λ§ˆλ¬΄λ¦¬ν•˜κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 3λΆ„κΈ° 초 λΉ„νœ΄μΌ μ£Όκ°„ 맀좜 μˆ˜μ€€μ€ 2뢄기와 λŒ€μ²΄λ‘œ μΌκ΄€λœ 흐름을 λ³΄μ˜€μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μ˜ˆμƒλŒ€λ‘œ ν¬λ¦¬μŠ€λ§ˆμŠ€μ™€ μƒˆν•΄ 첫날이 주쀑에 μœ„μΉ˜ν•¨μ— 따라, ν•΄λ‹Ή 2개 휴일 μ£Όκ°„μ˜ λ§€μΆœμ€ μƒλ‹Ήνžˆ λΆ€μ§„ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Taking into account the seasonality and based on our current revenue backlog and expectations on late-stage pipeline deals, our outlook calls for revenues of $105 million to $110 million in the third quarter. On the gross margin front, with the same seasonality impacting utilization and holiday pay for Agile consultant as well as employer payroll tax reset at the start of a new calendar year, we expect a gross margin of 35% to 36% in the third quarter. Now on to SG&A, reflecting realized benefits from our cost reduction efforts, offset by higher employer payroll taxes, run rate SG&A expense in the third quarter is expected to be in the range of $40 million to $42 million.κ³„μ ˆμ„±μ„ κ³ λ €ν•˜κ³  ν˜„μž¬ μˆ˜μ£Όμž”κ³  및 ν›„κΈ° 단계 νŒŒμ΄ν”„λΌμΈ κ±°λž˜μ— λŒ€ν•œ κΈ°λŒ€λ₯Ό λ°”νƒ•μœΌλ‘œ, 3λΆ„κΈ° λ§€μΆœμ€ 1μ–΅ 500만 λ‹¬λŸ¬μ—μ„œ 1μ–΅ 1,000만 λ‹¬λŸ¬λ‘œ μ „λ§ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. 맀좜총이읡λ₯  μΈ‘λ©΄μ—μ„œλŠ”, Agile μ»¨μ„€ν„΄νŠΈμ˜ 가동λ₯ κ³Ό 휴일 μˆ˜λ‹Ήμ— 영ν–₯을 λ―ΈμΉ˜λŠ” λ™μΌν•œ κ³„μ ˆμ„± μš”μΈκ³Ό μƒˆ νšŒκ³„μ—°λ„ μ‹œμž‘ μ‹œ 고용주 κΈ‰μ—¬μ„Έ μž¬μ„€μ •μœΌλ‘œ 인해 3λΆ„κΈ° 맀좜총이읡λ₯ μ€ 35%μ—μ„œ 36%둜 μ˜ˆμƒλ©λ‹ˆλ‹€. νŒλ§€κ΄€λ¦¬λΉ„μ˜ 경우, λΉ„μš© 절감 λ…Έλ ₯으둜 μ‹€ν˜„λœ νš¨κ³Όκ°€ λ†’μ•„μ§„ 고용주 κΈ‰μ—¬μ„Έλ‘œ μƒμ‡„λ˜μ–΄, 3λΆ„κΈ° νŒλ§€κ΄€λ¦¬λΉ„ μ‹€ν–‰λ₯ μ€ 4,000만 λ‹¬λŸ¬μ—μ„œ 4,200만 λ‹¬λŸ¬ λ²”μœ„κ°€ 될 κ²ƒμœΌλ‘œ μ˜ˆμƒλ©λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Non-run rate and noncash expenses will be in the range of $6 million to $7 million, consisting of noncash stock compensation and restructuring costs. In closing, reiterating what Roger stated earlier, our strategy and our path forward are clear. We will continue to focus on improving our sales execution, optimizing our talent and consulting solutions to serve the needs of our clients, driving an efficient cost structure to strengthen our business and deliver more value for our clients and shareholders.

Roger Carlile: President, CEO & Director Sure. Good to meet you. And I'll let Bhadresh add, you've been here longer dealing with it than me. But I think we're seeing, for example, in operational accounting roles, things that are -- you can imagine through AI or automation are easiest to replicate and replace. And so that would be some of the roles that we see as most impacted by our clients' efforts in that regard in the AI and automation world. In terms of how widespread that is, I mean, I think it's -- my sense -- again, I'll ask Bhadresh to add as well. My sense would be that it's -- like most of the things we hear about AI, there's a lot of activity going on. Those things that are internal like those processes are where AI and automation are having the earliest impacts but there's still a lot of spending and still a lot of activity that's not been realized or benefits not being realized by clients. So I think it remains to be seen how pervasive and how rapidly that occurs, but we are seeing that. And Bhadresh, add if you think there's something to that.**Roger Carlile:** λ„€, λ§Œλ‚˜μ„œ λ°˜κ°‘μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Chief Operating Officer: Thank you, Roger. And I think you're spot on. What we're seeing with clients and everyone is what I would say is experimenting with AI to see how -- what leverage they can get in their organization, especially in finance. As Roger said, the operational accounting roles, what I would call more transactional repeatable roles are getting replaced. However, what we're finding is that it's getting clients access to data quickly and analytics of the data quickly and informing their ability to get their business more efficient, but that is requiring more work, right, to go execute. So we're not seeing that big windfall that everyone is expecting that AI is going to replace so many jobs. It is accelerating the ability for our finance organization and clients' finance organizations to provide insights to their segments in terms of performance, predictability, future trends and things like that, so people can take action on it. Our clients are also seeing that. I think a lot of them have continued to invest. Some feel like they're overinvesting and not realizing the benefits. So we feel like, obviously, time will tell where this will land, but it's still in the early stages akin to in the early days of digital transformation where everyone is overspending until they normalize it. The second part of this is as clients are understanding how to leverage AI for their organization, it's just not that AI is replacing jobs, it's also changing processes and how companies operate. So it's becoming a transformation initiative that should drive our ability to provide more services requiring higher talented people that can understand about the impact of AI and what AI can do and then how that business operates and changes the way they work, not only within the function, but the interactions with other functions.**Chief Operating Officer:** κ°μ‚¬ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€, Roger. λ§μ”€ν•˜μ‹  λ‚΄μš©μ΄ μ •ν™•ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν˜„μž¬ 고객사듀과 λͺ¨λ“  기업듀이 AIλ₯Ό μ‹€ν—˜ν•˜κ³  μžˆλŠ” λͺ¨μŠ΅μ„ 보고 μžˆλŠ”λ°, 특히 재무 λΆ„μ•Όμ—μ„œ 쑰직 λ‚΄μ—μ„œ μ–΄λ–€ λ ˆλ²„λ¦¬μ§€λ₯Ό 얻을 수 μžˆλŠ”μ§€ ν™•μΈν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Roger Carlile: President, CEO & Director Thanks, Bhadresh. I just want to add one thing. I think the second part of your question was what are we doing about it? I mentioned in our comments that our talent teams and our On-Demand teams are working with clients to understand what skills they need in that environment because Bhadresh said, there's certain skills and projects that are caused because of that work. And there are certain skills that are needed because of the technology being a major driver of that. So as we mentioned in our script, ERP skills, other kinds of technology skills. So we're looking to shift our skill base towards the things that clients most need in this environment.**Roger Carlile:** κ°μ‚¬ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€, Bhadresh. ν•œ κ°€μ§€λ§Œ λ§λΆ™μ΄κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 질문의 두 번째 뢀뢄이 μš°λ¦¬κ°€ 이에 λŒ€ν•΄ 무엇을 ν•˜κ³  μžˆλŠλƒλŠ” κ²ƒμ΄μ—ˆλŠ”λ°μš”. μ•žμ„œ λ§μ”€λ“œλ¦° κ²ƒμ²˜λŸΌ 우리 μΈμž¬νŒ€κ³Ό μ˜¨λ””λ§¨λ“œνŒ€μ΄ 고객듀과 ν˜‘λ ₯ν•˜μ—¬ μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ ν™˜κ²½μ—μ„œ ν•„μš”ν•œ μŠ€ν‚¬μ΄ 무엇인지 νŒŒμ•…ν•˜κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Chief Operating Officer: Yes. And Roger, to add to that, I think what's becoming inherently clear is that the higher-level skills that we are staffing in the On-Demand business, what clients are seeking is that they are also becoming AI experts or AI knowledgeable for that particular function or particular role, and that's becoming critical. I think on the consulting side, what we're seeing is that as clients are taking on these AI initiatives, data authenticity and accuracy is becoming a bigger issue, right, which is leading to bigger data projects for data cleanup and data tagging and things like that. So that's where a lot of focus is coming up in order for them to realize the pure benefits of AI as they look at end-to-end implementation of it.**Chief Operating Officer:** λ„€, λ‘œμ €μ˜ 말에 λ§λΆ™μ΄μžλ©΄, 점점 더 λͺ…ν™•ν•΄μ§€κ³  μžˆλŠ” 것은 μ˜¨λ””λ§¨λ“œ(On-Demand) μ‚¬μ—…μ—μ„œ μš°λ¦¬κ°€ λ°°μΉ˜ν•˜λŠ” κ³ κΈ‰ 인λ ₯λ“€μ˜ 경우, 고객듀이 μ›ν•˜λŠ” 것은 ν•΄λ‹Ή μ§λ¬΄λ‚˜ 역할에 λŒ€ν•œ AI μ „λ¬Έκ°€ λ˜λŠ” AI 지식을 κ°–μΆ˜ μΈμž¬λΌλŠ” μ μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이것이 맀우 μ€‘μš”ν•œ μš”μ†Œκ°€ 되고 μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Mark Marcon: Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated, Research Division Just to elaborate a little bit, can you just -- like you have a fairly broad swath of the Fortune 500 that you serve. How widespread is what you're currently seeing? And then can you be a little bit more precise with regards to the types of roles? Are we talking about just accounts receivables and payables, reconciliations, data entry? Or because historically, you've also supplied people that were providing some analytical capabilities as well. And so I'm trying to understand to what extent are these lower-level roles rather than also impacting higher-level roles.**Mark Marcon:** 저희가 μ„œλΉ„μŠ€λ₯Ό μ œκ³΅ν•˜λŠ” 포좘 500λŒ€ κΈ°μ—…μ˜ λ²”μœ„κ°€ μƒλ‹Ήνžˆ 넓은데, ν˜„μž¬ 보고 계신 ν˜„μƒμ΄ μ–Όλ§ˆλ‚˜ κ΄‘λ²”μœ„ν•˜κ²Œ λ‚˜νƒ€λ‚˜κ³  μžˆλŠ”μ§€ μ’€ 더 μžμ„Ένžˆ μ„€λͺ…ν•΄ μ£Όμ‹€ 수 μžˆμ„κΉŒμš”? 그리고 μ—­ν•  μœ ν˜•μ— λŒ€ν•΄μ„œλ„ μ’€ 더 ꡬ체적으둜 말씀해 μ£Όμ‹€ 수 μžˆλ‚˜μš”? λ§€μΆœμ±„κΆŒμ΄λ‚˜ λ§€μž…μ±„λ¬΄, 계정쑰정, 데이터 μž…λ ₯ 같은 μ—…λ¬΄λ§Œ ν•΄λ‹Ήλ˜λŠ” κ±΄κ°€μš”? μ—­μ‚¬μ μœΌλ‘œ κ·€μ‚¬λŠ” 뢄석 μ—­λŸ‰μ„ μ œκ³΅ν•˜λŠ” 인λ ₯도 곡급해 μ˜€μ…¨λŠ”λ°μš”. κ·Έλž˜μ„œ μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ 영ν–₯이 λ‹¨μˆœνžˆ ν•˜μœ„ 레벨 μ—­ν• μ—λ§Œ κ΅­ν•œλ˜λŠ” 것인지, μ•„λ‹ˆλ©΄ μƒμœ„ 레벨 역할에도 영ν–₯을 미치고 μžˆλŠ” 것인지 νŒŒμ•…ν•˜κ³  μ‹ΆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Chief Operating Officer: Yes. I mean the lower-level roles are definitely getting impacted, right, because AI is able to do those analysis and things like that as you leverage learning models to do that. In the higher-level roles, we don't see it as an impact. What we're seeing is a skill reconciliation is what I will say or skill evolution. And says we're providing, for example, a controller or anything like that or in a senior financial analyst in these types of roles, they are looking for those that actually understand AI, know how to use AI and know how to implement AI to leverage it more. And that's, I think, the distinction we're seeing in [ assessing of ] reconciliation, receivables, all those types of things are the evolution of RPA into AI. But FP&A is becoming a big area where clients are starting to use AI to really start to look at how do they accelerate what we've historically done in Excel spreadsheets to drive those types of analytics and data. So that's where we're really seeing the distinction.**Chief Operating Officer:** λ„€, ν•˜μœ„ 직급 역할듀은 ν™•μ‹€νžˆ 영ν–₯을 λ°›κ³  μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Roger Carlile: President, CEO & Director Yes. I think it's the issues that are -- still remain in high demand in corporates, Corporate America, for example. So financial, financial transformation, financial technologies, technology generally, data analytics, risk, all those kinds of things, tax that get towards the ability to, in some cases, both for the clients to do more with less, for the clients to have a better view of their own organizations, all of those things and drive value. So all of those things, I think, are still in high demand. Clients may be a little more cautious in taking the time to assess what they're doing, but those are still in high-demand services.

Jennifer Ryu: CFO & Executive VP Yes. The $40 million to $42 million is exclusive, so $6 million to $7 million of noncash and non-run rate restructuring costs on top of the $40 million to $42 million. And the reason why it's comparable essentially to our third quarter SG&A is because while we're realizing the benefits and the latest reduction in force we did in October, from a seasonality standpoint, we have the payroll tax reset. And also when we did the Ref in October, essentially, Q2 already kind of has almost a full quarter of benefit already in there.

Jennifer Ryu: CFO & Executive VP Yes. The healthcare this quarter is about $1 million plus impact compared to Q2. So it is significant. It impacted both our SG&A and probably lesser impact on SG&A, but a lot of impact on gross margin. Yes, we do take an annual assessment of our plan design, and we also kind of look at the cost ratio sharing between employer and employees. I would say that this quarter, this is an anomaly. We got a lot of unfavorable claims experience in October specifically. So I don't expect that this -- or at least I would think that this is an anomaly. So I think that this should normalize. Again, we don't have control over our claims experience, but we do take a pretty deep look each on an annual basis on our plan design.**Jennifer Ryu:** λ„€, 이번 λΆ„κΈ° μ˜λ£ŒλΉ„λŠ” 2λΆ„κΈ° λŒ€λΉ„ μ•½ 100만 λ‹¬λŸ¬ 이상 μ¦κ°€ν–ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. μƒλ‹Ήν•œ μˆ˜μ€€μ΄μ£ . νŒκ΄€λΉ„μ™€ 맀좜총이읡 λͺ¨λ‘μ— 영ν–₯을 λ―Έμ³€λŠ”λ°, νŒκ΄€λΉ„λ³΄λ‹€λŠ” λ§€μΆœμ΄μ΄μ΅μ— 더 큰 영ν–₯을 μ£Όμ—ˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Mark Marcon: Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated, Research Division Okay. Great. And then, Roger, I didn't want to focus on the micro questions initially, but I'd love to come back to just kind of the broader strategic framework. It sounded like you're basically going to be looking at things over the next 12 months, I'm wondering if you can just talk a little bit about what you're going to really focus on and what your vision is, and it's probably going to end up changing as you learn more about the company. But what your vision is for what investors should expect 12 to 24 months from now?**Mark Marcon:** λ„€, μ’‹μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그리고 Roger, μ²˜μŒμ—λŠ” 세뢀적인 μ§ˆλ¬Έμ— μ§‘μ€‘ν•˜κ³  μ‹Άμ§€ μ•Šμ•˜λŠ”λ°, μ’€ 더 큰 μ „λž΅μ  ν”„λ ˆμž„μ›Œν¬λ‘œ λ‹€μ‹œ λŒμ•„κ°€κ³  μ‹ΆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν–₯ν›„ 12κ°œμ›” λ™μ•ˆ μ—¬λŸ¬ 사항듀을 κ²€ν† ν•˜μ‹€ 것 κ°™λ‹€λŠ” 말씀을 ν•˜μ‹  것 κ°™μ€λ°μš”, ꡬ체적으둜 μ–΄λ–€ 뢀뢄에 μ§‘μ€‘ν•˜μ‹€ κ³„νšμ΄μ‹ μ§€, 그리고 비전이 무엇인지 말씀해 μ£Όμ‹œκ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆκΉŒ? νšŒμ‚¬μ— λŒ€ν•΄ 더 많이 μ•Œκ²Œ λ˜μ‹œλ©΄μ„œ μ•„λ§ˆ λ³€ν™”κ°€ μžˆμ„ 것 κ°™κΈ΄ ν•œλ°μš”. 12κ°œμ›”μ—μ„œ 24κ°œμ›” ν›„ νˆ¬μžμžλ“€μ΄ κΈ°λŒ€ν•  수 μžˆλŠ” 것이 무엇인지에 λŒ€ν•œ 비전을 말씀해 μ£Όμ‹œλ©΄ κ°μ‚¬ν•˜κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.
Roger Carlile: President, CEO & Director Well, I think I'm not sure the strategy itself changes at a high level. I mean we're going to be focused on our On-Demand services and our Consulting services. And those -- that's the 2 biggest things we do, and it's where we can drive a lot of value for our clients. So I think it's why we said the 3 focal points for our strategy in the near term, 12 months or longer if it takes is right, get the cost structure aligned with our revenue so that we're profitable on that basis. For lack of a better word, fix our On-Demand. What I mean by that is what we've talked about, which is be sure we're getting our -- in front of our clients with our sales team and really understanding what the clients need and then working with our talent team to be sure that we are sourcing and have that kind of talent to offer them so that we can bring that kind of value to clients and do that in a focused and consistent manner. And then thirdly, grow the Consulting segment that we can deliver those services. We can do that now, but we're not particularly scaled in those capabilities we talked about earlier. And so we want to add those, and I think we can grow. I think we have a real right to win in this space because of our ability to deliver in those 3 different modes that we spoke about earlier and to do so at a price point that creates, I think, a better overall value than some of the other competitors in the marketplace. But all of that requires that we were focused in what we do and that we have the right talent in place to do it. And so there's some work in that. And that's really -- for me, that's the main thing, those items we just spoke about are the main thing we're focused on over the next 12 months. I can't tell you when I think exactly we'll see the results of that. I'd like to think you will start seeing -- it won't be 3/4 of nothing and then all in 1 quarter. So I'd like to think you'll start to see some incremental improvement as quarters go on, but I don't think that's going to be the next quarter. I think there's a lot of work that we have to do.**Roger Carlile:** μ „λž΅ μžμ²΄κ°€ 높은 μˆ˜μ€€μ—μ„œ λ³€κ²½λ˜λŠ” 것은 μ•„λ‹ˆλΌκ³  μƒκ°ν•©λ‹ˆλ‹€. μš°λ¦¬λŠ” μ˜¨λ””λ§¨λ“œ(On-Demand) μ„œλΉ„μŠ€μ™€ μ»¨μ„€νŒ…(Consulting) μ„œλΉ„μŠ€μ— 집쀑할 κ²ƒμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. 이 두 κ°€μ§€κ°€ μš°λ¦¬κ°€ ν•˜λŠ” κ°€μž₯ 큰 사업이고, κ³ κ°λ“€μ—κ²Œ λ§Žμ€ κ°€μΉ˜λ₯Ό μ œκ³΅ν•  수 μžˆλŠ” μ˜μ—­μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Roger Carlile: President, CEO & Director Yes, I don't know if that itself is causing any decision delay. I think there are things that happen in the market where there's some level of uncertainty that would contribute to decision delays by clients. I think in the case of AI and automation, clients -- first of all, I think, by and large, like you read in a number of places, resources, I think there's more interest and effort to implement it, there is more impact and value yet for many clients. So I think it's fits and starts, right? Like if you start the investment, you might have told whoever was authorized that investment that we're not going to need quite so much human capital to do this process, so you don't hire as much. And then later, you find out you do need it. So there can be some sort of starts and stops, but I think it's really more about what roles will AI sort of successfully make less necessary. And then as Bhadresh said earlier, what roles will AI enhance the capability of and actually make those roles more necessary or more efficient or successful in what they do. So there is some learning, I think, is going on with clients, but I don't know that that's particularly contributing to decision delay. I know, Bhadresh, you have a view on that?**Roger Carlile:** λ„€, 그것 μžμ²΄κ°€ μ˜μ‚¬κ²°μ • 지연을 μ•ΌκΈ°ν•˜λŠ”μ§€λŠ” 잘 λͺ¨λ₯΄κ² μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. λ‹€λ§Œ μ‹œμž₯μ—μ„œ 일정 μˆ˜μ€€μ˜ λΆˆν™•μ‹€μ„±μ΄ μžˆμ„ λ•Œ κ³ κ°λ“€μ˜ μ˜μ‚¬κ²°μ • 지연에 영ν–₯을 λ―ΈμΉ˜λŠ” μš”μΈλ“€μ΄ μžˆλ‹€κ³  λ΄…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

Chief Operating Officer: Yes. The only thing I would add, Roger, is that what clients are getting bombarded with is spot technologies for a particular process or a spot process that AI can automate. And it's conflicting potentially with their enterprise applications. And those vendors are also SaaS-based products, which are saying they have AI in their products. And so no one's really matured full AI into all of their products, right? So the clients are wrestling with, does my ERP system have AI now and can I leverage it? Or do I need a spot technology to fill a gap and then integrate that with my ERP technology to do that. So we're seeing that type of confusion right now, right? We're finding some clients that are very forward thinking, willing to experiment and go aggressive and understand that they may have to undo some things, and we always have laggard clients that are asking a lot of questions and want to kind of dip their toes in, but hesitant to do it. So we're seeing all sorts of spectrums around this. I don't think we're seeing delayed decisions, right, in purchasing. But what clients are inquiring more about is what can we do with AI with what we have and what can we do with AI what we don't have.

Kartik Mehta: Northcoast Research Partners, LLC And Jenn, just on the gross margins, I know you talked about the healthcare costs, obviously impacting both gross margin and SG&A, and then there's the extra holiday.

Jennifer Ryu: CFO & Executive VP Yes. This quarter in Q2, the impact of healthcare is almost 100 basis points. So without the additional sort of -- the abnormal healthcare costs, we probably would have reached 38% and then Q3, typically, that's our seasonality, right, because we have a lot of holidays in there. So how we -- so there's definitely seasonality, healthcare, a lot of noise. But if you look at our pay bill ratio, it has steadily improved over the last -- probably last 4 -- 3, 4 probably plus quarters. And of course, Kartik, I mean, the impact of all of these indirect costs on gross margin also has to do with our revenue levels, too, and that leverage. So I think the main thing that we really focus on is things that we can control, which is the average bill rate and continue to improve that and also then on the consulting side to improve our utilization, which I think we've made pretty good progress in the last couple of quarters.**Jennifer Ryu:** λ„€, 이번 2뢄기에 μ˜λ£ŒλΉ„ κ΄€λ ¨ 영ν–₯이 거의 100bp μ •λ„μ˜€μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ·Έλž˜μ„œ μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ 비정상적인 μ˜λ£ŒλΉ„ μΆ”κ°€ λΉ„μš©μ΄ μ—†μ—ˆλ‹€λ©΄ μ•„λ§ˆ 38%에 λ„λ‹¬ν–ˆμ„ κ²λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그리고 3λΆ„κΈ°λŠ” 일반적으둜 κ³„μ ˆμ„±μ΄ 있죠. 곡휴일이 많이 있기 λ•Œλ¬Έμž…λ‹ˆλ‹€. κ·Έλž˜μ„œ ν™•μ‹€νžˆ κ³„μ ˆμ„±λ„ 있고, μ˜λ£ŒλΉ„ κ΄€λ ¨ν•΄μ„œλ„ μ—¬λŸ¬ λ³€μˆ˜λ“€μ΄ μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. ν•˜μ§€λ§Œ 인건비 λΉ„μœ¨μ„ λ³΄μ‹œλ©΄ μ§€λ‚œ 3~4λΆ„κΈ° 이상 κΎΈμ€€νžˆ κ°œμ„ λ˜μ–΄ μ™”μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 그리고 λ¬Όλ‘  Kartik, μ΄λŸ¬ν•œ λͺ¨λ“  κ°„μ ‘λΉ„μš©μ΄ 맀좜총이읡λ₯ μ— λ―ΈμΉ˜λŠ” 영ν–₯은 맀좜 μˆ˜μ€€κ³Όλ„ 관련이 있고, 그에 λ”°λ₯Έ λ ˆλ²„λ¦¬μ§€ νš¨κ³Όλ„ μžˆμŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€. 94
