Continued Revenue Pressure. RGP reported second quarter revenue of $117.7 million, down 19% year-over-year. On a same-day constant currency basis, revenue declined 18.4%, driven almost entirely by lower billable hours across the core On-Demand and Consulting segments. Importantly, the weakness remains volume-driven rather than price-driven, as average bill rates were largely stable and improved in several key geographies.

Pricing Discipline, Volume Weak. The Company continues to make progress with its value-based pricing initiatives. U.S. bill rates increased 2.5% year over year, Consulting bill rates rose 6.6%, and On-Demand bill rates increased 2.6%. However, these gains were more than offset by sharp declines in billable hours, particularly in Consulting (-33.8%) and On-Demand (-21.5%). Management specifically highlighted reduced demand for traditional finance roles as clients adopt automation and AI, underscoring that part of the On-Demand softness may be structural rather than purely cyclical.
