The London-listed IT services provider, which was holding its annual general meeting, noted continued hesitancy among some clients, particularly as they awaited clarity on US economic policy.

As of 30 April, the group had 2,366 consultants assigned to client projects, down from 2,578 at the end of December and 3,543 a year earlier.

The board said it was focused on controlling fixed costs and discretionary spending while preserving the capacity to respond to improving demand.

FDM reported a strong balance sheet, with £42m in cash and no debt.

Chair David Lister said the group was confident in its long-term positioning, supported by a global client base and experienced leadership, and sees potential for growth as market conditions recover.

At 0915 BST, shares in FDM Group Holdings were down 5.42% at 235.5p.
