“Our revenue growth continued this year, driven by a strong recovery in sales and market share at Westcon. Logicalis delivered an improvement in the second half, leading to profitable growth year-over-year. We are also pleased with the improved operating efficiency across all divisions.
We have maintained our dividend over the past three years despite volatile earnings and have delivered long-term sustainable returns to shareholders.
We expect our diverse operating portfolio to continue to deliver revenue growth, as Logicalis adapts its capabilities to address cloud-based infrastructure opportunities and Westcon increases its momentum with global vendors.”
