TRADING UPDATE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2022


Datatec, an international Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
company, today provides a trading update for the year ended 28 February
2022 ("FY22"). Comparative references are made to the year ended 28
February 2021 ("FY21").


The Group achieved a very strong operational performance during FY22 as it
continued to benefit from technology demand for networking, security and
cloud infrastructure with an increased software and services mix. Group
revenue for FY22 is expected to be approximately US$4.65 billion (FY21:
US$4.11 billion), representing a year over year increase of 13%.


All divisions performed well, with approximate revenues for FY22 per
division expected to be as follows:


Revenue                              FY22            FY21


                                     US$ million     US$ million   % increase
Logicalis                                  1,660           1,450          14%
Westcon International                      2,900           2,586          12%
Analysys Mason                                90              73          23%



Revenues would have been higher if not for the global semiconductor

shortages and ongoing supply chain constraints. As a result, closing

backlog (sales orders waiting to be fulfilled) grew significantly in both
the Logicalis and Westcon International divisions, compared to FY21. The
semiconductor shortages and supply chain issues are expected to continue
for the foreseeable future.


The financial information on which this trading update is based has not
been reviewed nor reported on by the Group's external auditors.


The Group intends to release its FY22 results on SENS on or about 24 May
2022.
