This Report covers the Key Recommendation Rationale, Conclusion, and Recommendation on the stock.

Key Recommendation Rationale – Sell at GBX 313.20

• Margin Pressure from Rising Costs - Operating profit is expected to remain largely unchanged in FY27 despite revenue growth, as the company absorbs additional costs of around £4.5m, including higher technology expenses and normalized bonus payouts. This indicates potential pressure on margins.
• Dependence on External Vendor Policies - The business was impacted by changes in Microsoft enterprise incentives, highlighting its reliance on key vendor programs. Such dependencies can introduce unpredictability in earnings and performance.
• Ongoing Organizational Transition Risks - The planned restructuring of go-to-market operations and internal realignment may create short-term disruptions, including employee movement and execution challenges, which could affect customer experience and operational efficiency.
