Dividend
The board declared a final distribution for the year ended 28 February 2026, by way of a cash dividend of 225 ZAR cents per Datatec ordinary share payable to the ordinary shareholders, which will be in proportion to a shareholder's ordinary shareholding in Datatec at the close of business on the record date, being Friday, 17 July 2026.
Shareholders will be entitled, in respect of all or part of their shareholding, to elect to receive new, fully paid ordinary Datatec shares in proportion to their ordinary shareholding on the record date as an alternative to the cash dividend (the scrip distribution).
Current trading and outlook
AI adoption is creating more complex IT environments and is increasing the reliance of businesses on specialised service providers with deep domain expertise to ensure resilience, scalability, and performance.
Despite geopolitical tensions and energy constraints causing supply chain volatility, trading to date has remained resilient. We expect continued improved financial performance in FY27.
The Group’s ongoing strategic review continues to address the persistent gap between Datatec’s valuation and the inherent value of its subsidiaries, while also ensuring that the Group is positioned to take full advantage of the positive market dynamics for its technology solutions and services.
