                                       Full Year Trading Update


Bytes Technology Group plc (“BTG” or “the Group”), one of the UK's leading software, security and
cloud services specialists, is pleased to provide the following update on trading for its financial year
ended 28 February 2023 (“FY23”).

The Group once again delivered strong sales and profit growth. As anticipated, cash conversion
returned to higher levels in the second half to end the full year at around 85%, and with a cash balance
of around £73m.

Gross Profit and Adjusted Operating Profit for the full year will both be approximately 20% up on the
prior year. This reflects the very strong demand for software and IT Services we continued to see from
both corporate and public sector clients, despite the well-documented macroeconomic headwinds. With
ongoing support from vendors, long standing and strong relationships with our customers, and the hard
work of our loyal employees, we remain confident in our continuing ability to deliver double-digit growth.

BTG expects to release its preliminary results for the full year on 23 May 2023.

Neil Murphy, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We are delighted with the performance delivered
last year. Our successful strategy of acquiring new customers and then growing share of wallet,
underpinned by strong vendor relationships and the commercial skills of our people, means we are well-
placed to capture the significant growth opportunities ahead of us.”
