Overview of RTC Group's Financial Performance#

RTC Group, a UK recruitment firm, has reported a slight decline in revenue for 2025, yet it has successfully maintained its profit levels. This stability is attributed to effective cost control measures and a growing demand for contract and temporary staff.

Key Financial Figures#

For the full year, RTC Group posted revenue of £95.54 million. The company recorded an Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) of £2.60 million and an Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of £3.30 million. Additionally, the gross profit reached £17.88 million, while the pretax profit was reported at £2.49 million. During this period, RTC Group also paid out £1.6 million in dividends and share buybacks, and it has proposed a higher final dividend for shareholders.

Factors Affecting Revenue#

The company's performance was bolstered by a shift towards contract and temporary staff placements, which helped counterbalance a decline in permanent recruitment activities within its UK division. However, the firm faced rising employment costs, including increased national insurance contributions and minimum wage levels, which added pressure on overall costs.

Future Outlook#

In its International division, revenue experienced a decline due to the conclusion of a charter flight contract and other projects. Despite these challenges, RTC Group has reported a positive start to 2026, driven by strong demand in its infrastructure-focused business. The company acknowledges ongoing uncertainties related to rising employment costs and new legislation but remains optimistic about long-term growth opportunities, especially as the UK plans to invest over £700 billion in infrastructure projects.
