  • HRnetGroup (SGX:CHZ)'s 2H22 PATMI of S$32.9m (+11.4% y-o-y) was in line with our and consensus estimates despite the lower-than-expected revenue of S$297.6m (-5.7% y-o-y). The variance was mainly due to the scale back of COVID-related flexible staffing (FS) business in Singapore and a general slowdown in professional recruitment (PR) hiring in Singapore, Greater China and Japan.

  • In 2H22, flexible staffing (FS) segment turnover also declined 4.8% y-o-y to S$250.3m with the scale-back of COVID-related staffing volume in the Singapore healthcare sector. This caused a slight dip in gross profit margin to 14.4% (-1,5ppt y-o-y) in FY22, partly mitigated by higher business volume in other parts of Asia, which resumed normalcy during the year.
