HRG’s revenue is directly related to client activity

Closed book agreement

Important for HRG to manage its cost base in line with client

activity

Move from dedicated to shared service structure gives more

scope to flex costs in line with changes to client activity

Increasingly, HRG is taking control of service location

decision

Lower manpower proportion of cost base reduces risk

associated with changes in client travel activity

All client contracts have a transaction fee element

86% of client revenue is predominantly transaction fee

based; growing trend
