DAS H1 Sales Hit Strong AUD73 Million – Dicker Data first half sales have increased 5 per cent to $A1.1 billion, taking revenues up 9.4 per cent year-on-year to a record $1.59 billion.
The sales increase of the overall business is partly attributed to a full 6-month contribution after the Hills acquisition last May, as well as to organic growth. First half revenue from the Dicker Access and Surveillance (DAS) business was $73 million, which includes new vendors.
The overall Dicker revenue increase includes software licences and virtual services as an agency fee incorporating standard commission and volume incentives, etc. Overall net profit before tax hit $54.1 million, up 7.8 per cent year-on-year, despite an increase in operating costs of 16.3 per cent.
