Executive summary
Achieved record H1 revenue of £196.1m, up 7% year-over-year, with bookings up 27% to £228m, driven by strong sales execution and international expansion.
Adjusted pre-tax profit declined 16% to £32m due to increased costs, margin pressure, and higher contractor use, but profit guidance is maintained.
Over 1,150 global customers, with 43% of revenue from outside the UK and North America revenue more than doubling; Net Promoter Score improved to 70.
Staff numbers increased 9% since year-end, reflecting organic growth and the Davis Pier acquisition, which added 120 staff and strengthened the Canadian presence.
Launched Pay Transparency product, sold exclusively by Workday, supporting compliance with new EU legislation.
Financial highlights
Revenue rose 7% to £196.1m (constant currency +9%), with Digital Services up 6%, Workday Services up 4%, and Workday Products up 14%; ARR for Workday Products up 19% to £78m.
Adjusted pre-tax profit margin fell to 16% from 21% year-over-year; gross margin decreased to 35.8% (from 38.4%).
Cash conversion at 48%, down from 75% last year, due to restructuring payments, working capital needs, and slower collections.
Backlog increased 12% to £397m; bookings up 27% to £228m.
Interim dividend increased 5% to 9.8p per share; £58m returned to shareholders via buybacks, with a further £30m approved.
Outlook and guidance
Full-year adjusted pre-tax profit expected to be in line with consensus forecasts, with sequential improvement in H2.
Revenue growth is expected to translate into profit by fiscal 2027 as cost structure normalizes.
On track for £100m ARR in Workday Products by end of 2026 and £200m by 2030.
Pay Transparency product launch expected to support ARR targets, though forecasting adoption is challenging due to the resale model with Workday.
Focus on digital transformation in UK and Canadian public/health sectors, international expansion for Workday Services, and new product launches for Workday Products.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
