“We’ve performed well during the first quarter and saw good results from both corporate and public sector segments but are mindful that there is still a long way to go,” said chief executive Graeme Watt in a statement.
Last month, Softcat said it will pay its shareholders a special dividend of 7.6p in addition to ordinary dividend for the full-year. The company is in a strong financial position after witnessing its full-year revenue advancing 9% to £1 billion for a year ending July 31.
Softcat share price trades over 7.5% higher to swing into the positive territory for November.
