TRADING UPDATE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2026
Datatec, the international Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
company, today provides a trading update for the year ended 28 February 2026
("FY26"). Comparative references are made to the year ended 28 February 2025
("FY25").
The Group built on the strong operational and financial performance reported
for the first half of FY26 and continued to benefit from demand for the
Group's technology solutions and services.
As indicated in the results announcement for the 6 months ended 31 August
2025 and published on 30 October 2025, an increasing proportion of software
and services is accounted for on a net* basis, which affects comparability
of reported revenues with prior periods. Consequently, the Board believes
that gross profit continues to offer a more accurate reflection of the
underlying performance and growth of the business across periods.
Group gross profit for FY26 is expected to be approximately US$998 million
(FY25: US$910 million), representing a year-on-year increase of 10%.
Divisional gross profit for FY26 is expected to be as follows:
FY26 FY25 Increase /
Gross profit (Decrease)
US$ US$
million million %
Westcon International 499 441 13
Logicalis International 386 357 8
Logicalis Latin America 105 104 1
Corporate and Management Consulting 8 8 0
Total gross profit 998 910 10
Westcon International continued to deliver a very strong financial
performance during the second half of FY26, whilst Logicalis International
delivered an exceptional performance. Logicalis Latin America had a slight
improvement in gross profits and its overall financial performance continued
to improve compared to FY25.
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 FY26 results on SENS on or about 26 May 2026.
