Computacenter has updated the market on its results for FY12 for the 12 months to end December 2012. Ahead of the numbers being reported in full on 12th March, the company has said overall revenue growth was 6% at constant currency. Group Services revenue increased by 12% and Group Supply Chain increased 4% (both at constant currency).
In France revenue grew by 7% and in Germany revenue increased by 4% (both constant currency). In the UK, revenue grew by 9% for the year, with Services revenue increasing by 15% and Supply Chain revenue growing by 5%. New contract wins and high rates of customer retention helped to bolster the company’s UK Services revenues, according to CEO Mike Norris who said he is starting the new financial year “in a pretty buoyant mood” with a new business pipeline that is “better than it was a year ago”.
Although it has not been officially announced, Computacenter is providing all of the end user and infrastructure support for Capgemini’s recently-announced contract with Direct Line Group (see Capgemini signs IT migration deal with Direct Line Group). The deal is expected to be worth £7-8m per annum to Computacenter.
We will bring more detail on Computacenter’s FY12 performance - and progress in 2013 - when it announces in full in March. However, for the time being it is safe to say that in the UK the year has started well for the firm.
