Exhibit 99.2
On May 1, 2026, Korn Ferry realigned the Company’s organizational reporting structure from a solution-based presentation to a reporting model by geography, with the following three reportable segments: (i) Americas, (ii) Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”), and (iii) Asia Pacific (“APAC”), to better reflect how work is delivered across the firm, align more closely with how clients buy Korn Ferry services, and support the Company's We Are Korn Ferry operating model. The presentation of operating results prior to May 1, 2026 has been revised to conform to the new segment reporting.
Financial highlights by reportable segments are as follows for each quarter in fiscal 2026:
