Softcat raised its full-year operating profit growth forecast to the low double-digit range after reporting H1 FY25 revenue up 16.8% to £545.6 m and operating profit up 10.4% to £73.7 m, underscoring strong momentum and market share gains (Reuters).
Softcat acquired Oakland Group Services Ltd for an initial £8 m to bolster its data, automation and AI consultancy capabilities, enhancing its service offerings in a high-growth segment of the IT services market (Investegate).
Cash conversion improved to 110.9% and the group ended H1 FY25 debt-free with £141 m in cash, supporting a 4.7% interim dividend increase and providing financial flexibility for strategic investments (Investing.com).
Gross profit margin declined to 14.6% from 15.6% and operating profit margin slipped to 4.9% from 5.3% in H1 FY25, reflecting pressure from higher-volume, lower-margin transactions that may constrain future profitability (Investing.com).
JPMorgan placed Softcat on ‘negative catalyst watch’, warning that FY25 EBIT growth was driven by lumpy, one-off large contracts that may not recur, posing downside risk to FY26 earnings forecasts (Sharecast).
A CBI survey reported UK services firms face falling activity, weaker confidence, and persistent cost pressures, indicating a challenging macro environment that could dampen demand for Softcat’s IT infrastructure services (Reuters).
