AI Insight: RHI Financial Trends
RHI revenue has contracted ~12% from Q2 2024 to Q1 2026 while operating income remains deeply compressed, with net income hitting a new low of $14M.
• Revenue declined from $1,473M in Q2 2024 to $1,300M in Q1 2026, an 11.7% cumulative drop with no stabilization evident.
• Operating income collapsed from $150M in Q3 2024 to just $37M in Q1 2026, implying severe margin erosion across the period.
• Net income fell to $14M in Q1 2026, the lowest in the eight-quarter dataset, down from $68M in Q2 2024.
• Equity has steadily eroded from $1,480M in Q2 2024 to $1,231M in Q1 2026, a $249M decline over six quarters.
⚠ Operating cash flow turned sharply negative at -$112M in Q1 2026, repeating the -$59M Q1 2025 pattern; seasonal or structural deterioration warrants scrutiny.
⚠ Operating income of $2M in Q2 2025 signals near-breakeven operations; any further cost pressure could push operating income negative.
⚠ No debt reported across all periods, preserving balance-sheet flexibility, but declining equity limits the buffer if losses deepen.
AI Insight: RHI Ratio Trends
RHI's profitability has collapsed across the board, with Q1 2026 ROE at 4.5% and operating margin at 2.8% — both near multi-quarter lows.
• Operating margin deteriorated sharply from 10.2% in Q3 2024 to 2.8% in Q1 2026, signaling sustained top-line and cost pressure.
• ROE fell from 18.4% in Q2 2024 to 4.5% in Q1 2026, reflecting meaningful erosion in returns to shareholders.
• Net profit margin dropped to 1.1% in Q1 2026, the lowest single-quarter reading in the dataset, down from 4.6% in Q2 2024.
• ROIC remains volatile — swinging from 40.7% in Q3 2024 to 0.5% in Q2 2025 before recovering modestly to 12.0% in Q1 2026.
⚠ Q1 2026 NPM of 1.1% is the weakest quarterly reading — if this persists, TTM profitability will compress further from already-thin 2.4%.
⚠ ROIC recovery to 12.0% in Q1 2026 from 0.5% in Q2 2025 warrants monitoring — sustainability depends on margin stabilization.
⚠ ROA of 2.0% in Q1 2026 versus 9.3% in Q2 2024 suggests asset productivity has deteriorated significantly — watch for structural revenue decline.
