Posted by on Aug 14th, 2026

Savills (LON:SVS – Get Free Report) announced its earnings results on Thursday. The company reported GBX 17.90 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, Digital Look Earnings reports. Savills had a net margin of 2.78% and a return on equity of 9.70%.

Here are the key takeaways from Savills’ conference call:

  • Strong first-half performance: Revenue rose 8.7% to more than £1.2 billion, underlying EBITDA increased 32% to nearly £74 million, and underlying PBT climbed 47% to £34.3 million, supported by market-share gains, improving transaction volumes and cost savings.
  • Transactional revenues increased 14%, led by 22% growth in capital transactions and 23% growth in occupier advisory, particularly in North America. Savills said its U.K. capital transactions revenue rose 17% despite a 12% market decline, indicating significant market-share gains.
  • The completed Eastdil Secured acquisition is expected to be earnings-enhancing and materially improve Savills’ exposure to the U.S. market. On a pro forma basis, combining first-half results would have increased underlying PBT by £21 million, or 60%, before synergies.
  • U.K. residential remained challenging, with revenue down 9% and profits falling to £2.1 million, primarily because of the one-time revenue-recognition impact of the Renters’ Rights Act. Management expects the market to remain needs-based until greater policy clarity emerges.
  • Management maintained its full-year 2026 expectations, citing strong pipelines and resilient less-transactional businesses, while cautioning that the timing of transaction completions remains difficult to predict. Restructuring and Eastdil-related integration costs are expected to remain elevated in the second half, while net debt to EBITDA is targeted at 1.5x or less by year-end.
