Trading Update

Computacenter PLC 12 July 2006 Computacenter plc Pre-Close Trading Update The first half of 2006 has been a period of steady progress for Computacenter. Our UK Technology Solutions saw strong growth on the back of a number of projects, while our Managed and Support Services achieved modest growth in comparison. On the product side of the UK business, improved margins have more than compensated for a decline in revenues. This margin improvement comes from a more favourable mix of business, including increased datacentre spend, strong demand from the financial services sector and a decline in low margin trade distribution sales. In Germany, we expect to report a small profit for the first six months in comparison to losses last year. Product sales have been weak but services margins have improved. We have also secured some substantial new Managed Services wins in Germany, with the contracts starting later in the year. France has experienced good revenue growth, which should assist in reducing the scale of the losses in the first half. However, the French market has experienced strong downward pressure on margins. Computacenter will today, 12 July 2006, hold an Investor and Analyst conference call. Computacenter will report its interim results on Tuesday 12 September 2006.
