Weakened Cash ConversionA recent decline in cash conversion and FCF weakens the reliability of internally funded expansion and increases sensitivity to working-capital swings. For a services business reliant on billable headcount, inconsistent cash conversion can constrain investment cadence and elevate refinancing risk in stress periods.

That unevenness complicates capacity planning, can amplify margin variability, and makes multi-quarter forecasting and consistent margin expansion harder to sustain.

Reliance on currency tailwinds plus uncertain timing of AI monetization creates risk that margin improvements may be delayed or conditional, reducing predictability of durable margin gains.
