Computacenter PLC on Thursday said it delivered a strong second half, with performance during the fourth quarter and the financial year as a whole ahead of expectations. As a result, the Hatfield, England-based technology services provider expects full-year adjusted pretax profit to be no less than £270 million, ‘comfortably ahead’ of market expectations which the firm put at £253.6 million. In 2024, the FTSE 250 listing reported adjusted pretax profit of £254.0 million. In response, shares in Computacenter soared 9.5% to 3,352.00 pence each in London on Thursday morning, the best FTSE 250 performer. Computacenter said revenue in the financial year ending December, on a gross invoiced income basis, increased by 32% in constant currency and by 31% on a reported basis. In constant currency, Technology Sourcing gross invoiced income was 38% ahead and Services revenue increased by 3%. In Services, Professional Services delivered strong revenue growth which was partly offset by a modest decline in Managed Services revenue. ‘We are particularly pleased with our execution in North America, achieving consistently strong growth throughout the year with both enterprise and hyperscale customers. The UK delivered an improved performance during the year and Germany enjoyed a stronger second half, following a softer first half,’ the FTSE 250 listing said in a statement. Market conditions in France ‘have been challenging and our performance since the beginning of the second quarter has been disappointing,’ the firm added. Order intake during the second half of the financial year has ‘remained strong’, especially in North America, and ‘we exited 2025 in a strong position with a committed product order backlog across all geographies at the end of December which is significantly ahead of both our position in December 2024 and at the end of June 2025,’ the company said. Results for the financial year ending December will be released on March 12. Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
