During the first half of 2022, Dicker Data’s pre-tax earnings (EBITDA) increased 19.5% to $61.2 million and net income also increased 7% to $34.3 million .
The increase in revenue was partly attributed to Dicker’s acquisition of New Zealand’s Exeed, which added $192 million in revenue in the first half.

“It is pleasing to see our recent acquisitions resulting in positive results for our shareholders and I am confident that the benefits for our shareholders will continue to grow as we deepen our operations and as these new divisions take advantage of the scale of the business at large.”
First-half results also include two months of contribution from Dicker’s data access and surveillance (DAS) business following the acquisition of Hills’ security and IT business, representing revenue of $18 millions of dollars.

“Advanced solutions, such as infrastructure, networking, security and software have returned to high levels of growth as business confidence also rises.
“Demand for end-user computing and devices has normalized, but the company’s Professional AV division continues to grow beyond expectations.”
