Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company as of and for the three months ended August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025 have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) the Company’s management considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position at such dates and the operating results and cash flows for those periods and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The fiscal 2026 year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, and certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to SEC rules or regulations; however, the Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The unaudited consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 30, 2026, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Fiscal Year 2026 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on July 24, 2026 (File No. 000-32113).
Reporting Segments
The Company's reportable segments are comprised of On-Demand Talent, Consulting, Europe & Asia Pacific, and Outsourced Services. The Company's previous reportable segments included Sitrick, a crisis communications and public relations firm, which did not individually meet the quantitative thresholds to qualify as a reportable segment (disclosed as "All Other"). On April 7, 2026, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Sitrick Group, LLC (“Sitrick”) and Sitrick, LLC (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 100% of the membership interests of Sitrick to the Buyer. The sale was completed on May 2, 2026. As a result of the sale of Sitrick, the Other segment was eliminated as of May 30, 2026. Following the sale, the Company received no new income from Sitrick and had no further involvement or continuing influence over its operations.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions are adequate, actual results could materially differ from the estimates and assumptions used as new information is learned or upon the amounts becoming fixed or determinable.
Significant Accounting Policies
A complete listing of the Company’s significant accounting policies is discussed in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Fiscal Year 2026 Form 10-K.
Revenue Recognition
The Company generates substantially all of its revenues from providing professional consulting services to its clients. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised service is transferred to the Company’s clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration expected in exchange for the services rendered. Revenue is recorded net of sales or other transaction taxes collected from clients and remitted to taxing authorities. Revenues for the vast majority of the Company's contracts are recognized over time, based on hours worked by the Company’s professionals. The performance of the agreed-to service over time is the single performance obligation for revenues. Certain clients may receive discounts (for example, volume discounts or rebates) to the amounts billed. These discounts or rebates are considered variable consideration. Management evaluates the facts and circumstances of each contract and client relationship to estimate the variable consideration assessing the most likely amount to recognize and considering management’s expectation of the volume of services to be provided over the applicable period. Rebates are the largest component of variable consideration and are estimated using the most-likely-amount method, contracts terms and estimates of revenue. Revenues are recognized net of variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenues will not occur in subsequent periods.
On a limited basis, the Company may have fixed-price contracts, for which revenues are recognized over time using the input method based on time incurred as a proportion of estimated total time. Time incurred represents work performed, which corresponds with, and therefore best depicts, the transfer of control to the client. Management uses judgments when estimating the total hours expected to complete the contract performance obligation. It is possible that updated estimates for consulting engagements may vary from initial estimates with such updates being recognized in the period of determination. Depending on the timing of billings and services rendered, the Company accrues or defers revenue as appropriate.
The Company recognizes revenues primarily on a gross basis as it acts as a principal for primarily all of its revenue transactions. The Company has concluded that gross reporting is appropriate because it controls the services before they are transferred to the customers. The Company a) has the risk of identifying and hiring qualified consultants; b) has the discretion to select the consultants and establish the price and responsibilities for services to be provided; c) is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the service to the customer; and d) bears the risk for services provided that are not fully paid for by clients. The Company recognizes all reimbursements received from clients for “out-of-pocket” expenses as revenue and all such expenses as cost of services.
Commissions earned by the Company’s sales professionals are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient to expense sales commissions as incurred as the expected amortization period is one year or less. Sales commissions are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Company’s clients are contractually obligated to pay the Company for all hours billed. The Company invoices most of its clients on a weekly basis or, in certain circumstances, on a bi-weekly or monthly basis, and its typical arrangement of payment is due within 30 days. To a much lesser extent, in certain circumstances, the Company also earns revenue if one of its consultants is hired by, or if the Company places an outside candidate with, its client. Conversion fees or permanent placement fees are recognized when one of the Company’s professionals, or a candidate identified by the Company, accepts an offer of permanent employment from a client and all requisite terms of the agreement have been met. Such conversion fees or permanent placement fees are recognized when the performance obligation is considered complete, which the Company considers a) when the consultant or candidate accepts the position; b) the consultant or candidate has notified either RGP or their current employer of their decision; and c) the start date is within the Company’s current quarter.
The Company’s contracts generally have termination-for-convenience provisions and do not have termination penalties. While clients are contractually obligated to pay the Company for all hours billed, the Company does not have long-term agreements with its clients for the provision of services and the Company’s clients may terminate engagements at any time. All costs of compensating the Company’s professionals for services provided are the responsibility of the Company and are included in cost of services.
Long-lived Assets
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, the Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The impairment test is comprised of two steps. The first step compares the carrying amount of the asset to the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows. If the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows exceeds the carrying amount of the asset, no impairment is taken. If the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a second step is warranted and an impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value calculated using the present value of estimated net future cash flows.
During fiscal 2026, the Company entered into a sublease at certain of its office locations in connection with its restructuring activities and the sale of Sitrick. Due to the change in future use of the impacted office spaces, management assessed recoverability of the related right-of-use assets in accordance with the Company's policy on impairment of long-lived assets. Based on an analysis of future undiscounted cash flows associated with the sublease of the right-of-use assets, management determined that the carrying value of the assets was not recoverable. The fair value was based on observable market rates of the assets in the area of the office locations. The Company did not record any impairment of long-lived assets during the three months ended August 29, 2026 or August 30, 2025.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill is recorded at the time of an acquisition and is calculated as the difference between the aggregate consideration paid for an acquisition and the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not subject to amortization but the carrying value is tested for impairment on an annual basis, as of the first day of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if the Company believes indicators of impairment exist. There were no impairment indicators during the three months ended August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025 within the operating segment where the remaining goodwill resides and as such, the Company did not perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis in the first quarters of fiscal 2027 and 2026.
The Company’s identifiable intangible assets include customer contracts and relationships, and computer software, including internally-developed software. These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over lives ranging from one to twelve years. For intangible assets subject to amortization, if the estimated undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the net book value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the amount by which the net book value exceeds the estimated fair value of assets. The Company reviewed its intangible assets and did not identify any impairment indicators during the three months ended August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025.
Capitalized Hosting Arrangements
The capitalized hosting arrangements costs are primarily related to the Company's implementation of a cloud-based enterprise resource planning system and talent acquisition and management system. Such costs include third party implementation costs and costs associated with internal resources directly involved in the implementation. Capitalized hosting arrangements are stated at historical cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of the expected term of the hosting arrangement, taking into consideration several other factors such as, but not limited to, options to extend the hosting arrangement or options to terminate the hosting arrangement. The amortization of capitalized implementation costs for hosting arrangements will commence when the systems are ready for their intended use and are presented in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations consistent with the presentation for expensing the fees for the associated hosting arrangement.
As of August 29, 2026 and May 30, 2026, the capitalized costs related to hosting arrangements, net of accumulated amortization, were $14.9 million and $15.7 million, respectively. These capitalized hosting arrangements are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company incurred $0.8 million of amortization expense during both the three months ended August 29, 2026 and August 30, 2025, related to these arrangements.
Restructuring Charges
Restructuring charges incurred by the Company are associated with transformation initiatives and consist primarily of severance costs for reductions in force and professional fees incurred in connection with the initiative. The Company evaluates the nature of the severance costs to determine if they relate to ongoing benefit arrangements, which are accounted for under ASC 712, Compensation - Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits ("ASC 712"), or one-time benefit
arrangements, which are accounted for under ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. The Company records a liability for ongoing employee termination benefits when it is probable that an employee is entitled to them and the amount of the benefit can be reasonably estimated. One-time employee termination costs are recognized when management has communicated the termination plan to employees, unless future service is required, in which case the costs are recognized ratably over the future service period. All other related costs are recognized when incurred. Restructuring charges are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 8, Restructuring and Transformation Initiative, for additional information on restructuring charges.
Expected Credit Losses
Beginning with the quarter ended August 29, 2026, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets ("ASU 2025-05"), and elected the practical expedient that allows the Company, when estimating expected credit losses, to assume the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of a financial asset.
The Company estimates expected credit losses on trade accounts receivable and contract assets using historical loss experience, customer-specific collectability assessments, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Receivables with similar risk characteristics are pooled and evaluated using loss rates by aging category, while specific reserves are recorded for receivables with identified collection risks. The allowance for credit losses is determined based on these analyses and management's evaluation of relevant qualitative and macroeconomic factors.
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, which provides a practical expedient that all entities can use when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under this practical expedient, an entity is allowed to assume that the current conditions it has applied in determining credit loss allowances for current accounts receivable and current contract assets remain unchanged for the remaining life of those assets. ASU 2025-05 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods in those years. The Company adopted this guidance, electing the practical expedient, in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and applied the guidance prospectively. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
