Computacenter (LSE:CCC) reported revenue of £6.8 billion for the six months ended 30 June 2026, an increase of 71.6% year-on-year, as demand for digital infrastructure contributed to higher technology sourcing activity.
Adjusted operating profit increased 86.5%, with North America accounting for more than 60% of the group’s adjusted operating profit during the period.
The UK recorded increased activity during the half, while Computacenter said Germany delivered underlying growth alongside costs associated with efficiency measures.
Gross Profit Increases 30.5%
Group gross profit rose 30.5% year-on-year, although gross margin declined as the revenue mix shifted towards higher-volume technology sourcing activity, particularly in North America and the UK.
Computacenter added 18 major customers that each generate more than £1 million of annual gross profit.
The group’s product order backlog reached £9.3 billion at the end of the period, which the company described as a record level.
Computacenter ended the first half with adjusted net funds of £308.7 million and increased its interim dividend.
Computacenter Expands North American Operations
During the period, Computacenter expanded its North American operations through the acquisitions of AgreeYa and GAI.
The acquisitions increased the group’s professional services capabilities, while GAI provided access to the U.S. federal government market.
Computacenter said its capital allocation approach continues to include investment in organic growth, acquisitions and shareholder returns.
Computacenter Raises Full-Year Profit Guidance
The company reported increased activity at the beginning of the second half, alongside further growth in its committed order backlog, particularly in North America.
Following the first-half performance and start to the second half, Computacenter raised its full-year guidance.
