Empresaria Group, the AIM-listed global specialist staffing group, reported FY25 results dominated by a strategic reset. Revenue fell 3% (up 2% on a CC LFL basis) to £239.0m, with net fee income down 6% (flat CC LFL) at £47.3m. Adjusted operating profit rose 50% to £5.7m and adjusted PBT jumped 82% to £4.0m, with the reduction in NFI offset by aggressive cost actions. Statutory loss before tax of £4.4m (FY24: £5.2m loss) reflects a £5.3m goodwill impairment and £2.0m of exceptional items including board reconstitution and aborted takeover costs. Offshore Services delivered standout 16% NFI growth (CC LFL) and US 23%. The new Board, in place since October 2025, has formally discontinued the centralised transformation strategy from 1 January 2026, reverting to a decentralised multi-branded model. No final dividend; RCF extended to October 2027. Vs consensus: No published broker consensus applies to this small AIM name; adjusted PBT of £4.0m (FY24: £2.2m) and adjusted operating profit of £5.7m (FY24: £3.8m) represent material year-on-year progression, though the statutory loss reflects strategy-reset costs and impairments. Verdict: BEAT
