Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
As previously disclosed, beginning in fiscal 2027, Korn Ferry (the “Company”) realigned its organizational 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, and (iii) Asia Pacific. Through these reportable segments Korn Ferry delivers services through three Solution groups: (i) Search (Executive Search and Professional Search), (ii) Talent & Organizational Solutions (Consulting and Digital), and (iii) Workforce Solutions (Recruitment Process Outsourcing and Interim).
The Company is furnishing herewith as Exhibit 99.1 recast unaudited fee revenue for each quarter of fiscal 2026 for each of its new geographic reporting segments and further disaggregated by Solutions Group. Because such financial information will not be reported until the Form 10-Q is filed for each quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2027 and the Form 10-K for the Company’s fiscal year 2027, management is providing such recast segment historical information to investors in advance to enhance understanding of the operating performance of the Company’s realigned segments. Therefore, Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K presents quarterly unaudited financial information recast to reflect changes to the Company’s segment reporting for each quarter in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026 to supplement financial disclosures included in the Company’s previously filed reports and to recast previously disclosed quarterly historical segment information under the realigned segment reporting structure and further disaggregated by Solutions Group.
The recast of the previous quarterly segment financial information included in this Form 8-K is provided voluntarily to investors and is not required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and solely reflect changes in the Company’s reportable segment information and the related impacts to segment disclosures as a result of the recast described above and do not represent a restatement of previously issued financial statements. The recast information does not affect the Company’s GAAP consolidated reported net income, earnings per share, operating income, or total assets or liabilities for any of the previously reported periods.
This information included in this Item 7.01, as well as Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
