COMMENTARY
Current trading and outlook
The positive momentum of the first half continued into the second half of the year with a strong performance recorded in September. The Group’s backlog and order intake have remained solid. The Group provides many of the solutions and services required for an increased IT networked way of doing business, such as remote working, cloud access and fixed or mobile secured networking and the business is currently benefiting from this. Operationally, the Group’s focus remains on optimising business performance and internal processes for the current environment. Priorities in the second half will include digital transformation and restructuring initiatives to align the business model and drive the benefits of the investments in advanced technology systems rolled out over the past few years.
The refinancing of the major subsidiaries of Westcon International on more favourable terms will improve liquidity and reduce interest expense going forward. The path of the Covid-19 pandemic remains uncertain and the unpredictable business and economic effects.
