Q3 guidance sets the next test

The midpoint of the revenue range is USD 1.36 billion, which the company described as flat year over year on an adjusted basis.

The guidance contains a clear segment split. Talent Solutions was expected to grow 3 percent year over year at the midpoint, while Protiviti was expected to decline 6 percent, leaving the overall range between a 2 percent decline and 2 percent growth.

Those actions included USD 7 million of severance costs and were linked to annualized savings of USD 45 million.
