1 CORPORATE INFORMATION
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group for the
six months ended 30 June 2016 were authorised for issue in accordance with a
resolution of the Directors on 26 August 2016.
Computacenter plc is a limited company incorporated and domiciled in England
whose shares are publicly traded.
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months
ended 30 June 2016 have been prepared in accordance with International
Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted by the
European Union. They do not include all of the information and disclosures
required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction
with the Group's annual financial statements as at 31 December 2015 which have
been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.
The Group has maintained its positive cash position in the period. In order to
ensure that the Group can maintain its strong liquidity position it has a £40
million committed facility, which remained unutilised at the reporting date.
The Group's forecast and projections, which allow for reasonably possible
variations, show that the Group will continue to maintain its strong liquidity
position, and therefore supports the Directors' view that the Group has
sufficient funds available to meet its foreseeable requirements. The Directors
have concluded therefore that the going concern basis remains appropriate.
3 BASIS OF PREPARATION
The accounting policies applied by the Group in these interim condensed
consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group
in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015,
except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations as of 1 January
2016, which did not have any impact on the accounting policies, financial
position or performance of the Group, as noted below:
• Annual Improvements to IFRSs - 2010-2012 Cycle
• Annual Improvements to IFRSs - 2011-2013 Cycle
The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or
amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
4 ADJUSTED MEASURES
The Group uses a number of non-Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
(non-GAAP) financial measures in addition to those reported in accordance with
IFRS. The Directors believe that these non-GAAP measures, detailed below, are
important when assessing the underlying financial and operating performance of
the Group.
Adjusted revenue, adjusted Services revenue, adjusted Professional Services
revenue, adjusted Supply Chain revenue, and adjusted administrative expenses
excludes the revenue and administrative expenses from a disposed subsidiary,
RDC, for the comparative reporting periods. RDC was sold on 2 February 2015.
Adjusted operating profit or loss, adjusted profit or loss before tax,
adjusted profit or loss for the year, adjusted earnings per share and adjusted
diluted earnings per share are, as appropriate, each stated before:
exceptional and other adjusting items including gain or loss on business
disposals, amortisation of acquired intangibles, utilisation of deferred tax
assets (where initial recognition was as an exceptional item or a fair value
adjustment on acquisition), and the related tax effect of these exceptional
and other adjusting items, as Management do not consider these items when
reviewing the underlying performance of the segment or the Group as a whole.
Each of these measures also excludes the results of RDC for the comparative
periods.
Additionally, adjusted operating profit or loss includes the interest paid on
customer-specific financing (CSF) which Management considers to be a cost of
sale.
A reconciliation between key adjusted and statutory measures is provided on
page 13 of the Group Finance Director's review. Further detail is also
provided within note 5, segment information.

6 SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS
Historically, revenues have been higher in the second half of the year than in
the first six months. This is principally driven by customer buying behaviour
in the markets in which we operate. Typically this leads to a more pronounced
effect on operating profit. In addition, the effect is compounded further by
the tendency for the holiday entitlements of our employees to accrue during
the first half of the year and to be utilised in the second half.
7 DIVIDENDS PAID AND PROPOSED
A second interim dividend for 2015 of 15.0 pence per ordinary share was paid

ordinary share, amounting to a total dividend of £8,831,370, was declared by
the Directors at their meeting on 25 August 2016. The expected payment date of
the dividend declared is 14 October 2016. This interim report does not reflect

2016:
Included within the current period are the following exceptional items:
• During the current period a Line of Business restructure has been
agreed with the business in France. This initiative to reduce the
underutilised resources within our Professional Services arm will complete in
H2 2016, the full cost of £1.0 million has been recognised as at 30 June 2016.
This restructure will see Computacenter France exit the direct provision of
Group Field Maintenance Services. This Line of Business has materially
decreased over time, leading to a significant resourcing overcapacity. Any
future residual customer requirement will be sub-contracted to an existing
third party provider.
• Computacenter France is close to completing responsibilities under the
Social Plan related to the substantial restructuring exercise that occurred in
2014. An additional cost of £0.1 million has been recognised as part of the
wind-down of the Social Plan. As the redundancy and restructuring costs were
previously treated as an exceptional item on recognition, this further
provision has also been treated as an exceptional item.
2015:
Included within the prior period are the following exceptional items:
• Computacenter (UK) Limited disposed of its wholly owned subsidiary RDC
during the year. An exceptional gain of £42.2 million was recognised on
disposal of RDC. In line with our accounting policy, Management elected under
IAS1 to report this gain as a separate line item on the face of the
income statement due to the materiality, infrequency and nature of the gain on
disposal of RDC. As noted within the summary of significant accounting
policies the adjusted results excluded this gain. This election provided the
best guidance to users of our external reporting as to the underlying
profitability trends within the Group and presented the results of the Group
in a way that is fair, balanced and understandable.
• Computacenter France continued with its substantial restructuring
exercise that began in 2014. An additional cost of £0.4 million was recognised
as part of the Social Plan. As the redundancy and restructuring costs were
previously treated as an exceptional item on recognition, the further
provision has also been treated as an exceptional item.
• The Group's remaining two onerous contracts continued to show
operational improvements therefore management revised its estimates of the
losses to be incurred. On this basis the Group released £0.4 million of the
provision. As the onerous contracts were previously treated as an
exceptional item on recognition, the write back of the provision was also
released as an exceptional item

10 EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share ('EPS') amounts are calculated by dividing profit
attributable to ordinary equity holders by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares outstanding during the period (excluding own shares held).
To calculate diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive
potential shares. Share options granted to employees where the exercise price
is less than the average market price of the Company's ordinary shares during
the period are considered to be dilutive potential shares.

11 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS RECOGNISED IN THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
Financial instruments which are recognised at fair value subsequent to initial
recognition are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the
fair value is observable. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices
(unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than
quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from
prices); and
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques
that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on
observable market data (unobservable inputs).
At 30 June 2016 the Group had forward currency contracts, which were measured
at Level 2 fair value subsequent to initial recognition, to the value of a net
asset of £3,524,000 (30 June 2015: £210,000 net liability, 31 December 2015:
£1,298,000 net asset).
The net realised gains from forward currency contracts in the period to 30
June 2016 of £1,335,000 (30 June 2015: £2,255,000 loss, 31 December 2015:
£747,000 gain), are offset by broadly equivalent realised losses/gains on the
related underlying transactions. There were no transfers between Level 1 and
Level 2 during the period (2015: nil).
The foreign currency forward contracts are measured based on observable spot
exchange rates, the yield curves of the respective currencies as well as the
currency basis spreads between the respective currencies. All contracts are
fully cash collateralised, thereby eliminating both counterparty and the
Group's own credit risk.
The carrying value of the Group's short-term receivables and payables is a
reasonable approximation of their fair values. The fair value of all other
financial instruments carried within the Group's financial statements is not
materially different from their carrying amount.
