TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 AUGUST 2026

Datatec Limited, the international Information and Communications Technology (ICT) company is
publishing a trading statement for the six months ended 31 August 2026 (“H1 FY27”). The comparative six
months ended 31 August 2025 is referred to as “H1 FY26” throughout this announcement.

Westcon International and Logicalis International have delivered very strong financial performances in H1
FY27 with both divisions reporting a record first half at the Adjusted** EBITDA level. Westcon continued
its strong growth trajectory, whilst Logicalis International significantly improved its gross profit to EBITDA
conversion, driven by an exceptional performance in the US. Logicalis Latin America had another weak
operating performance in H1 FY27 as the business continues to reduce its telecommunications customer
concentration, but benefited significantly from recoverable tax credits that boosted its bottom line.

In terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, companies are required to publish a trading statement
as soon as they are satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial results for the
period to be reported on next will differ by at least 20% from the previous corresponding reporting period.

Datatec now expects the following earnings per share ranges for H1 FY27:

    •   Underlying* earnings per share of between 29.5 and 31.0 US cents (H1 FY26: 19.3 US cents),
        being 10.2 to 11.7 US cents (52.9% to 60.6%) higher than H1 FY26.
    •   Headline earnings per share of between 22.1 and 23.6 US cents (H1 FY26: 22.0 US cents),
        being 0.1 to 1.6 US cents (0.5% to 7.3%) higher than H1 FY26.
    •   Earnings per share of between 22.8 and 24.3 US cents (H1 FY26: 21.7 US cents), being 1.1 to
        2.6 US cents (5.1% to 12.0%) higher than H1 FY26.
