The company's operating profits slumped 8.2% to £10.1m, when compared to last year.
There was a “temporary slowdown” in Global Managed Services (GMS) growth of 6.8% at constant currency, said the firm. “We have the orders pipeline to drive a return to double digit growth in H2,” said the firm.
It added: “H2 2022 trading to date is currently in line with expectations following sales order momentum in December and January, with Software Resilience returning to revenue growth against H2 2021.”
