Dicker Data Limited reported a strong financial performance for the half-year ended 30 June 2025. Statutory revenue increased by 14.3% to $1,239.2m, while gross sales and other revenue grew by 15.7% to $1,840.5m. The company's shift towards higher-value, lower-margin enterprise opportunities during the period resulted in a decline in gross profit margin to 13.5%, down from 14.3% in the prior corresponding period. However, excluding one-off costs, operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 7.6%, down from 8.3% in the prior year. Net operating profit before tax increased by 13.3% to $57.6m, while net profit after tax grew by 11.1% to $39.4m. The company continued to offer participation in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, with total dividends of 22.0 cents per share, fully franked, declared and paid during the half-year. The company's balance sheet remained strong, with net debt position finalising lower at $299.5m, down by $6.3m against the last balance date.

The company expects the Windows 10 refresh opportunity to continue driving strong growth in device sales, particularly in the enterprise, mid-market and heavily regulated segments. The company's leadership in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) distribution market is also expected to contribute to future performance, with the company's new AI ecosystem partnerships to be announced in the first week of September.

Dicker Data is well-positioned to capitalize on the ongoing Windows 10 refresh opportunity and its growing AI distribution business. The company's strategic initiatives and new vendor partnerships are expected to drive continued growth in the second half of the financial year.
