Operating working capital is trade and other receivables after subtracting the current part of financial assets, deferred receipts from disposed Group companies, interest receivable, trade and other payables (excluding interest payable). For the definition see "use of performance measures".
Net tax assets: Deferred income tax assets and income tax receivables minus deferred income tax liabilities and income tax liabilities. For the definition see "use of performance measures".
All other assets/(liabilities), mainly containing property, plant & equipment, right of use assets, software, financial assets and associates, assets held for sale, less provisions, liabilities held for sale, employee benefit obligations and other liabilities. For the definition see "use of performance measures".
Return on invested capital is underlying EBITA (last 12 months) minus income tax paid (last 12 months) as percentage of invested capital.
The moving average of days sales outstanding (DSO) was 57.4 (Q4 2025: 56.7).
The return on invested capital (ROIC) amounted to 10.8% (Q1 2025: 10.1%). The increase is mainly due to the year-over-year reduction of our employed capital and relatively low income taxes paid.
At the end of Q1 2026, net debt (excluding IFRS 16 'leases') was € 1,119 million, compared to € 1,250 million at the end of Q1 2025. A further analysis of the cash flow is provided in the next section.

These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, shortages on the job market, changes in the demand for personnel (including flexible personnel), achievement of cost savings, changes in the business mix, changes in legislation (particularly in relation to employment, staffing and tax laws), the role of industry regulators, future currency and interest fluctuations, availability of credit on financially acceptable terms, the successful completion of company acquisitions and their subsequent integration, successful disposals of companies, the rate of technological developments, the impact of pandemics and our ability to identify other relevant risks and mitigate their impact. These prognoses therefore apply only on the date on which this document was compiled. The quarterly results as presented in this press release are unaudited.

use of performance measures
Randstad's disclosed financial information adheres to the relevant financial reporting standards and regulations. We present certain figures in line with the Group's internal reporting, which are considered alternative performance measures (APMs). These APMs provide (adjusted) figures that complement the standard reporting measures as defined by IFRS-EU. They offer supplementary relevant insights into our operations but are intended to be considered alongside, rather than as replacements for, the IFRS-EU financial metrics.
Below, we provide definitions of the APMs utilized by the Group. We encourage readers to evaluate these measures in conjunction with the traditional IFRS-EU metrics to gain a comprehensive understanding of our financial performance.
financial performance measures
adjusted net income for holders of ordinary shares
Refers to Randstad's adjusted net income excluding amortization and impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets and goodwill, integration costs and one-offs and adjusted for the dividend on preferred shares, as well as for results of non-controlling interests.
conversion ratio
Conversion ratio is the underlying EBITA divided by underlying gross profit expressed in a percentage. It is a performance measure on how Randstad's underlying EBITA develops in relation to the underlying gross profit. This increases the comparability of different businesses in our portfolio.
EBITA
Operating profit before amortization and impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets and goodwill (EBITA) is a measure of company profitability used by investors in the staffing industry to analyze the results of staffing companies.
EBITA margin
EBITA as a percentage of revenue.
EBITDA
Operating profit before depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, amortization and impairment of software and acquisition-related intangible assets and impairment of goodwill.
organic growth
Externally reported income statement line items (revenue, gross profit, operating expenses and EBITA) adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currency ("FX"), the effect of hyperinflation and excluding the impact of acquisitions and disposals.
organic revenue and gross profit growth per working day
Organic growth divided by the number of working days in the period. Randstad operates in an industry where for each additional working day compared to the previous period, additional revenue/ gross profit can be generated. Therefore, the organic growth per working day is a measure that best shows underlying/ comparable performance isolating the working day effect.
recovery ratio (RR)
The total year-on-year change in underlying operating expenses as a percentage of the decline in underlying gross profit, based on organic growth. We aim for a recovery ratio of 50% if gross profit declines.
underlying gross profit
Refers to Randstad's adjusted gross profit, excluding integration expenses and one-offs that may distort the true operational performance of the business. It provides a clearer picture of the company's ongoing profitability by eliminating the impact of restructuring costs, integration and M&A costs related to acquisitions and other exceptional items.
underlying operating expenses
Refers to Randstad's adjusted operating expenses, excluding integration expenses and one-offs that may distort the true operational performance of the business. It provides a clearer picture of the company's ongoing profitability by eliminating the impact of restructuring costs, integration, M&A costs related to acquisitions and other exceptional items.
underlying EBITA
Refers to Randstad's adjusted EBITA, which excludes integration expenses and one-offs, that may distort the true operational performance of the business. It provides a clearer picture of the company's ongoing profitability by eliminating the impact of restructuring costs, integration and M&A costs related to acquisitions and other exceptional items.
underlying EBITDA (excluding IFRS 16 'leases')
Refers to Randstad's operating profit before depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment, amortization and impairment of software and acquisition-related intangible assets and impairment of goodwill adjusted for the interest related to lease liabilities excluding one-off and integration expenses. This measure is used for the leverage ratio (excluding IFRS 16 'leases') calculation.
underlying diluted earnings per ordinary share
Underlying diluted earnings per ordinary share is based on net income adjusted for amortization and impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets and goodwill, integration expenses and one-offs and are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, assuming conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The dilutive potential ordinary shares arise from various share-based payment arrangements.
underlying effective tax rate
The effective tax rate before amortization and impairment of acquisition-related intangible assets and goodwill, integration costs and one-offs. This measure is used to calculate the underlying per ordinary share information.
cashflow performance measures
free cash flow
Free cash flow is the sum of net cash flow from operating activities and investing activities (excluding cash flows for acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries, equity investments, and loans and dividends to/from associates) and repayment of lease liabilities. Free cash flow is used to evaluate the cash generative character of the company's business.
net (acquisitions) / disposal
The cash flows relating to acquisition and disposal of subsidiaries, associates and equity investments presented as a net amount.
net decrease / (increase) of net debt
The movement in net debt between two reporting periods. This measure is used to evaluate the development in outstanding debt obligations.
financial position measures
all other assets / (liabilities)
All other assets / (liabilities), mainly containing property, plant & equipment, right of use assets, software plus financial assets and associates, less provisions and employee benefit obligations and other liabilities. This measure is used for the employed capital calculation.
employed capital
Employed capital is the sum of goodwill and acquisition-related intangible assets, operating working capital, net tax assets and all other assets / (liabilities). This measure shows the value of all the assets used by Randstad to generate earnings.
invested capital
Invested capital is the sum of total equity and net debt. This measure shows the financing raised by Randstad from debt and equity capital providers to fund its operations.
leverage ratio
Leverage ratio is the ratio of net debt (excluding lease liabilities) divided by 12-month underlying EBITDA (excluding IFRS 16 'leases'). This measure is used to indicate to investors and other stakeholders that the company is in compliance with the specific covenant agreed upon in our financial facility agreements related to the leverage ratio (excluding IFRS 16 'leases').
moving average days of sales outstanding (DSO)
The DSO is calculated at the end of each month by dividing Trade receivables at the end of the month by the last three months of revenue (including VAT) and multiplied by 365 days divided by four (quarters). The moving average DSO is the sum of the last twelve months of DSO divided by 12 (months).
net tax assets
Net tax assets is the total of deferred income tax assets and income tax receivables less deferred income tax liabilities and income tax liabilities. This measure is used for the employed capital calculation.
net debt (including IFRS 16 'leases')
Cash and cash equivalents minus current borrowings and non-current borrowings, including lease liabilities (both current and non-current) and the associated fair value of interest rate swap related to issued debt. This measure is used to evaluate outstanding debt obligations.
net debt (excluding IFRS 16 'leases')
Cash and cash equivalents minus current borrowings and non-current borrowings and the associated fair value of interest rate swap related to issued debt. This measure is used for the leverage ratio (excluding IFRS 16 'leases') calculation.
operating working capital
Operating working capital consists of trade and other receivables (excluding current part of loans and receivables and other interest receivable) minus trade and other payables (excluding interest payable). The level of working capital is related to the timing of the invoicing and payrolling processes (weekly or monthly). The payment terms negotiated with clients and the effectiveness of our collection processes are equally important. Liabilities, such as social security charges, wage tax and value-added tax are settled every month and in some countries on a quarterly basis. Payment terms are often determined by law and therefore difficult to influence. This measure is used for the employed capital calculation.

notes to the consolidated interim financial statements
reporting entity
Randstad N.V. is a public limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in the Netherlands and listed on Euronext Amsterdam.
The consolidated interim financial statements of Randstad N.V. as at and for the three month period ended March 31, 2026 include the company and its subsidiaries (together called 'the Group').
significant accounting policies
These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the European Union ('EU') (hereinafter: IFRS).
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these consolidated interim financial statements are unchanged from those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
basis of presentation
These consolidated interim financial statements have been condensed and prepared in accordance with (IFRS) IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'; they do not include all the information required for full (i.e., annual) financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025 are available upon request at the Company's office or on https://www.randstad.com.
estimates
The preparation of consolidated interim financial statements requires the Group to make certain judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments, estimates, and assumptions are the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
new external segmentation
As of January 1, 2026, the segmentation by geographical area has changed from the way it was presented in the FY 2025 annual report. These changes better reflect how management reviews operating results and makes decisions around resource allocation. Randstad has streamlined its reporting by removing regional totals for Northern Europe and Southern Europe, UK & Latin America. The "Other" categories from these regions have been consolidated into a single segment: Other Europe and Latin America, which now also includes Mexico (formerly North America). Consequently, revenue by specialization has been adjusted to reflect the elimination of intersegment revenue resulting from intercompany transactions between the countries now consolidated within this new segment. We presented the comparative figures for Q1 2025 in the same manner to align with this new presentation.
geopolitical conflicts
We closely follow the developments of global geopolitical tensions that may have a direct or indirect impact on our business. While our direct exposure remains limited, we are staying alert to increased volatility in the global economy. So far in 2026, the impact of these events on our business has remained limited. We are continuously monitoring developments to ensure an effective and agile response to any shifts in the talent market.
seasonality
The Group's activities are affected by seasonal patterns. The volume of transactions throughout the year fluctuates per quarter, depending on demand as well as on variations in items such as the number of working days, public holidays and holiday periods. The Group usually generates its strongest revenue and profits in the second half of the year, while the cash flow in the second quarter is usually negative due to the timing of payments of dividend and holiday allowances; cash flow tends to be strongest in the second half of the year.
