FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Computacenter plc
Trading Update - 31 August 2021
Computacenter plc ("Computacenter" or the "Group"), a leading
independent technology partner trusted by large corporate and
public sector organisations, today publishes an unscheduled Trading
Update Statement, based on unaudited financial information, ahead
of the release of the Group's Interim Results on 9 September
2021.
Subsequent to our positive Trading Update Statement on 21 July
2021 (the "21 July 2021 Statement"), trading has continued to be
robust across all of our geographies in July and August to date.
After our 21 July 2021 Statement, current market forecasts have
remained below the Board's expectations. This is because less than
half of the analysts covering Computacenter have upgraded their
forecast subsequent to the 21 July Statement. Therefore, we are
required to make this additional Trading Update Statement.
The exceptionally good performance in the second half of 2020
makes a more difficult comparison than we have experienced in the
first half of this year, but even with a flat performance in the
second half of 2021 compared to the second half of last year, we
would finish the year 10 per cent ahead of current market
expectations of the Group's full year 2021 adjusted profit before
tax.
Whilst visibility in our business is never perfect, given the
momentum in the business, a substantial order backlog, the
successful acquisitions and a strong forecast we will endeavour to
beat last year's second half performance, not just match it.
We look forward to giving more details on our performance and
outlook when we announce the Group's Interim Results on 9 September
2021.
