TRADING UPDATE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2023

Datatec, an international Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
company, today provides a trading update for the year ended 28 February
2023 (“FY23”). Comparative references are made to the year ended 28
February 2022 (“FY22”)*.

The Group continued to deliver a strong operational performance during the
second half of FY23 benefiting from secular technology trends for
networking and cyber security.

Group revenue for FY23 is expected to be approximately US$5.16 billion
(FY22*: US$4.55 billion), representing a year over year increase of 13%.

Approximate divisional revenues for FY23 are expected to be as follows:

Revenue                         FY23             FY22           increase /
                                                                (decrease)

Westcon International delivered an excellent financial performance during
the year. Logicalis International had a consistent performance, whilst
Logicalis Latin America had a notably improved second half compared to the
first half, with signs of supply chain improvement materialising although
backlog remains elevated.
