Korn Ferry is entering fiscal 2027 as a global consulting and talent-services firm with recent top-line momentum: fiscal 2027 first-quarter fee revenue was $756.5 million, with growth in all regions and particularly strong Search and Workforce Solutions performance. This filing changes the lens, not the business. Effective May 1, 2026, Korn Ferry shifted from solution-based reporting to geographic segments—Americas, EMEA, and APAC—while continuing to sell Search, Talent & Organizational Solutions, and Workforce Solutions. 〔0〕 The move was already disclosed in the fiscal 2026 annual report, so the filing mainly supplies the historical bridge investors need before the new segment format appears in quarterly reporting.
| Recast fee revenue ($ millions) | Jul. 31, 2025 | Oct. 31, 2025 | Jan. 31, 2026 | Apr. 30, 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Americas | 404.1 | 416.7 | 408.5 | 447.7 |
| EMEA | 219.0 | 219.9 | 229.5 | 229.1 |
| APAC | 85.5 | 85.2 | 79.4 | 83.0 |
| Total fee revenue | 708.6 | 721.7 | 717.4 | 759.8 |
| Search | 278.9 | 282.2 | 283.7 | 301.7 |
| Talent & Organizational Solutions | 259.2 | 263.9 | 260.9 | 271.2 |
| Workforce Solutions | 170.5 | 175.7 | 172.8 | 186.9 |
The historical picture points to an increasingly Americas-heavy mix. Americas rose from 57.0% of fee revenue in the July quarter to 58.9% in April, while APAC declined from 12.1% to 10.9%; the filing does not present this as new growth, but the recast makes the regional concentration visible.

The filing carries no earnings surprise. It is voluntary historical disclosure, not a restatement, and explicitly says the recast does not affect previously reported GAAP net income, EPS, operating income, assets, or liabilities. 〔1〕
Bottom line: This is useful reporting cleanup ahead of fiscal 2027—not a change to Korn Ferry’s financial performance. Its real value is making regional exposure easier to track once geographic reporting becomes the primary format.
