"The public health and economic crisis linked to COVID-19 intensified during Q2, 
creating an extremely challenging market environment. The Adecco Group responded 
swiftly and proactively to secure the wellbeing and safety of our colleagues and 
associates, and to support our clients. 
 
In the face of these unique challenges our businesses demonstrated resilience, 
performing ahead of the market in a number of key countries including France, 
Italy, Spain and Japan. Throughout the first half the Group remained solidly 
profitable with strong gross margin performance despite the steep revenue 
declines. This is evidence of the disciplined cost management of our teams and 
the balanced portfolio we have built in recent years. Cash flow during the 
quarter was also strong. 
 
While mitigating the short-term impacts of the crisis we maintained a firm focus 
on our strategy to Perform, Transform and Innovate. The recent implementation of 
our integrated front office system (InFO) was an enabler of the growth in Japan 
and we continued the InFO roll out in Spain and France during Q2. We also 
digitised our PERFORM methodology to adapt to remote working. 
 
We see early signs of improvement as lockdowns ease, and we have supported 
almost 100,000 associates back to work since the April trough. Nevertheless, the 
recovery is likely to be gradual and potentially volatile, as much uncertainty 
persists. 
 
Finally and most importantly, I would like to sincerely thank our valued 
customers for their trust in us throughout this historic crisis, and express my 
gratitude to our employees and associates for their unwavering commitment and 
tireless ongoing work in remarkably challenging circumstances." 
 
Alain Dehaze, Group Chief Executive Officer
