AGM Statement & Update on CFO Appointment

 

RWS Holdings plc ("RWS", "the Group", "the Company"), a global AI solutions
company empowering the world's most trusted enterprise AI, is today holding
its Annual General Meeting at which Andrew Brode, Interim Chairman, will make
the following remarks:

"FY25 was a pivotal year for RWS, as we evolved our strategy to become the
cultural intelligence partner for global enterprises deploying AI. We have
reshaped our organisation to meet our clients' demands for AI solutions that
are culturally nuanced and effective across their markets. This strategic
focus has also attracted new talent to the company, strengthening our
expertise.

Current trading and outlook

"Trading in the early months of FY26 has been encouraging. We have returned to
organic constant currency growth in the first quarter, driven by increasing
adoption of our AI-related products and services.

"This revenue growth, combined with rigorous execution of the efficiency plan
that we started last year, means that for FY26 we expect to deliver in line
with our existing guidance.

"Our strategy is delivering and we are well-positioned to create long-term
value for shareholders."
