(Sharecast News) - Softcat reported a jump in full-year profit and revenue on Wednesday as it pointed to a strong performance in the base business.
In the year to the end of July, underlying operating profit grew 16.9% to £180.1m, with gross invoiced income up 26.8% to £3.6bn and revenue 51.5% higher at £1.5bn.
The company, which provides IT infrastructure products and services, said its performance was driven by continued strength in the base business and an "outstanding" second-half performance supported by larger solutions projects.
Growth in gross invoiced income reflects a good performance across technologies and customer segments, aided by the contribution from very large, low margin deals, it said.
Softcat said its FY2026 outlook remains consistent with the August trading update. Given the phasing of large projects in both FY2025 and FY2026, the group expects underlying operating profit growth in the current year to be first-half weighted.
Softcat declared a final ordinary dividend of 20.4p a share, up from 18.1p in 2024.
Chief executive Graham Charlton said: "I'm very pleased to report another record performance for Softcat, which marks a milestone achievement of 20 consecutive years of double-digit gross profit growth. The strength of our business model and our consistent strategic execution underpin our continuing ability to scale and invest for future growth. Our outstanding performance in FY2025 and the sustainability of our growth model are a tribute to our special culture and the ongoing evolution of our offering.
"We have never been in a better position to address the increasingly complex needs of customers, who are adapting to rapid developments across all facets of their technology. During the year, we completed our first acquisition, bolstering our data, automation and AI capabilities in an exciting growth segment. And we have once again proven our ability to deliver larger and more complex solutions projects, an area we have been investing in for a number of years."
