Robert Walters, the £266 million recruiter, may fly under the radar of most investors given its relatively small size. But eagle-eyed income seekers may have spotted its 6 per cent dividend yield.
The company, which specialises in hiring for the legal, accountancy and technology sectors, has been struggling with a weak hiring market. Its most recent quarter was rough, with net fee income down 14 per cent year-on-year, and no signs of green shoots of a recovery. Within that, Asia Pacific was down 12 per cent at constant currency, Europe down 13 per cent and the UK — with uncertainty around employment legislation and fiscal changes ahead of the budget next week — performing the worst, down 19 per cent.
The recruiter has hinted it does not expect a revival in hiring until at least next year, mirroring recent comments by its London-listed rivals Hays and Page Group. As such the business has been slimming down, with headcount down to 3,466 from 4,200 a year ago.
For now the balance sheet looks strong enough to get the company through the remainder of the downturn, with £50 million of net cash excluding lease liabilities. Analysts at the broker Panmure Liberum expect it to end the year at around £60 million.
On average City analysts expect the dividend to land at 23.79p per share for the year, up only marginally from 23.5p last year, although investors looking for reliable long-term income should note that this payout is not covered by earnings of free cash flow.
The stock trades at an enterprise value to an expected cash profit ratio of 14.1, largely in line with Hays and Page Group, which trade at multiples of 13.7 and 15.3 respectively. It is certainly the most generous dividend payer, with a forecast yield of 6.7 per cent over the next 12 months, compared with the (still chunky) 4.8 per cent at Page Group and 3.8 per cent at Hays.
But given the high degree of uncertainty around the timing of a recovery in the hiring market, and the lack of earnings cover on cash payouts, the shares look fairly priced.

Always good to see a CFO share purchase and a decent commitment too.Happy to continue holding for the inevitable better times ahead and a nice yield along the way.

UK Budget is a fortnight away. From the hints being picked up so far, what impact might be expected on RWA/HAS/PAGE? And is any one of them likely to respond any differently from the other two?

Much in line with the other 2 major UK recruitment firms, Q3 performance was soft as market conditions remain unfavourable with no imminent change in fortunes or turn for the better expected in the remainder of 2024 either. Q3 Group net fee income was down 12%. Headcount was down 4% quarter-on-quarter and down 17% year-on-year to 3,466. Management’s “assumption continues to be that material improvement in client and candidate confidence levels will be gradual and not likely to commence until 2025.” Share price is down today and approaching 3 year lows. The sector as a whole is still under pressure and is more likely to see new lows in the next couple of quarters rather than start turning higher. Still potential for the shorts here until the jobs market turns for the better...

Hi EIHope all is well.Just your view on BRBY, sorry all for off topic.Could be a decent recovery but the debt now is putting me off, thoughts.PS still holding Page, like RWA but don't hold.

Yes, very fair, and I won’t deny I’m excited about this one. It has pulled off such swings during prior rate cut cycles (of course with their own circumstances - history no indicator of future, etc) and, to summarise very generally and from a global perspective as RWA is operating, the rate cut cycle is largely inflation driven while growth and employment continue to have traction (recession avoided). I think they can spring back quicker than analysts are estimating.

Circa 35% of mkt cap in net cash at the current price and a decent div too, assuming it will be held! Worth holding for a turnaround in due course.

Robert Walters plc issued a Q1 trading update this morning flagging up a “slower start” to the year. Group net fee income was up 4% to £102.4m as the uncertain global macro-economic conditions continued to impact recruitment activity levels across a number of the Group's markets and disciplines. 84% of the Group's net fee income is now generated by international businesses, headcount was up 1% quarter-on-quarter to 4,403. The Group continues to have a solid balance sheet with net cash of £70.5m as at 31 March 2023. Valuation looks attractive with forward PE ratio at 8.4x and PS ratio at 0.3x. But share price lacks momentum and is currently extending its 15-month correction. A share to monitor for the time being...

Robert Walters issued a Q3 trading update reporting strong performance and net fee income up 18% this morning. Group gross profit was £112m up 22% in actual currency, with all segments posting growth. 84% of the Group’s net fee income now comes from overseas. 2 new offices were opened during the period and headcount was up 5% to 4,267. The balance sheet remains strong with net cash at £93.5m at 30 September 2022. Valuation is also attractive with forward PE ratio at 8.3x, PS at 0.36x. Share price looks to have put a floor in through H2, but still lacks positive momentum for now. The macro environment remains the main cloud for the investment outlook. Other than that, RWA is a solid, profitable and attractively valued recruitment consultancy. Dividend yield at 4.7% is also pretty decent. Monitor for now, but will be well worth owning at some point in the next year or so...
