Key Takeaways
- RGP reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $98.1 million, down 18.5% year over year on a same-day, constant-currency basis.
- Gross margin declined to 37.4% from 39.5%, mainly due to lower consultant utilization and less favorable leverage of indirect service costs.
- Adjusted EBITDA was negative $3.6 million. Run-rate SG&A fell 9.4% year over year to $40.3 million following cost actions implemented in fiscal 2026.
- Consulting remained the largest source of pressure. Segment revenue fell 25.8% year over year to $32.4 million, while salaried consultant utilization was in the high-50% range.
- RGP ended the quarter with $61.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, no outstanding debt and $24.1 million of available revolver capacity.
- Management expects second-quarter revenue of $95 million to $100 million, broadly consistent with the first quarter, and said activity appears to be stabilizing.
