Datatec is a South African-listed multinational ICT business, serving clients globally, predominantly in the networking and telecoms sectors. The group operates through three main divisions: Westcon International (distribution); Logicalis International (IT services); and Logicalis LatAm (IT services in Latin America).

Datatec has seen strong growth globally, with elevated demand for networking, cybersecurity and cloud infrastructure. Amid continuing uncertainties, there are signs that global growth is slowing but we expect established technology trends to persist.

Financials

In H125, while revenue declined due to mix and net revenue accounting, Datatec grew gross profit by 3.5% y-o-y and adjusted EBITDA by 18.5%, resulting in a 56.2% increase in underlying EPS (uEPS). Both Westcon and Logicalis International delivered strong profit growth, while Logicalis Latin America managed to offset lower revenues with reductions in its cost base. Management continues to expect a better financial performance from all three businesses in FY25. We have upgraded our forecasts to reflect the strong H125 performance, lifting FY25 uEPS by 10% and reducing year-end net debt by 12%.
