Revenue for the first quarter of FY2015 was $240.3 million, representing a 106 per cent increase on previous corresponding quarter.
“This is a strong start to the year and within our projections,” Dicker stated. “As we head into the June quarter, which has traditionally been a strong revenue quarter, we are confident of revenue finalising greater than $1 billion for the full year.”
Underlying profit for the quarter sat at $6.2 million. There were further restructure costs that were incurred during the quarter, predominantly redundancy costs of $1.1 million.
During the comparative quarter there was forgone margin and profits as part of vendor reorganisation and restructures in order to complete the Express Data acquisition.

Underlying pre-tax profit has increased 130 per cent to $3.5 million.
“The next two quarters have traditionally been our strongest, and with the recent announcements of new and expanded vendor partner alliances, I am confident that we are on track to reach the full year results provided in our guidance,” Dicker said.
