AGM Statement

RNS Number : 2960S

Computacenter PLC

15 May 2009

 



Speaking today at Computacenter plc's Annual General Meeting, Greg Lock, Chairman, will make the following statement:

'In our interim management statement released on 29 April 2009, we explained that it was difficult to make a comparison between the first quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, due to the later timing of Easter this year, which fell in the first month of the second quarter. 

Following the completion of our unaudited management accounts for the four months, a more meaningful comparison can be made. Group profitability for the first four months of the year was well ahead of the same period last year and therefore we expect that the first half profit will be well ahead of the first half profit in 2008. 

While much remains to be done in the remaining eight months of the year we are encouraged by this positive start to the year.'

Our next scheduled trading update will be the pre-close briefing prior to our Interim Results, which is scheduled for 9th July 2009.
