The Japanese staffing firm reported 18.9% revenue growth and raised its full-year outlook on stronger HR tech monetization.
Recruit Holdings posted Q1 GAAP earnings per share of ¥145.48, with revenue climbing 18.9% year-over-year to ¥1,045.3 billion. The company attributed the gains to faster-than-expected monetization and operational efficiency in its HR Technology segment.
The firm revised its FY2026 guidance upward, projecting a 14.4% revenue increase, 39.1% growth in EBITDA plus share-based payments, and a 55.2% rise in basic EPS. EBITDA plus S margin is now expected to reach 26.1%, up from prior estimates.
The updated outlook reflects stronger performance in core business lines, though no immediate market reaction was disclosed in the release.
