The reporting dates distinguish completed achievements from planned activity.

Sektor Deal Brings New Markets Into Reach

On 2 November 2026, Dicker Data completed the acquisition of Sektor Group after announcing the binding transaction in October. The purchase consideration was approximately AUD 111.8 mn, equivalent to NZD 138 mn on the basis described in its announcement.

Sektor operates in Australia, New Zealand, Thailand and Malaysia. The combination adds specialist capabilities in enterprise mobility, point-of-sale systems, cybersecurity, physical security and infrastructure solutions.

Sektor generated NZD 440 mn in gross revenue for the 12 months to 31 August 2026, alongside unaudited normalised pre-AASB16 EBITDA of NZD 22.7 mn. These are Sektor historical figures, not consolidated Dicker Data results.

Earnings and Dividends Stay in Focus

Dicker Data reported H1 FY26 gross revenue of AUD 2.10 bn, up 14.2% from the corresponding period. Its reported first-half net profit after tax reached AUD 60.7 mn, an increase of 54.1%.

On 10 November, the company announced a dividend of AUD 0.115 per share for the September 2026 quarter. The stated ex-dividend date is 13 November, followed by the Record Date on 16 November and payment on 1 December.

The declared distribution and Earnings result relate to different reporting periods. The dividend is a corporate decision already announced; the acquisition’s full earnings contribution depends on post-completion performance.

Integration Defines the Next Phase

Management identified post-integration annualised pre-AASB16 EBITDA of NZD 28–32 mn as a target for Sektor, excluding one-off transaction and integration expenses. The target is not a reported outcome.

The enlarged Business brings together reseller relationships, vendor portfolios and regional distribution facilities. The immediate commercial task is to integrate the new group while preserving the services used by existing channel partners.

Dicker Data expects the transaction to contribute to FY26 earnings, excluding one-off acquisition and integration costs; realised figures will be established through subsequent reporting.

Looking Ahead

The next measure of progress for Dicker Data Limited will be its subsequent official operating and financial updates. The developments outlined above provide a dated picture as of 11 November 2026; prospective activities remain subject to delivery, and no future price or earnings performance is assumed.

Dicker Data Limited shares traded at AUD 14.79, up 1.30%, on 11 November 2026, with a Market Capitalisation of approximately AUD 2.69 bn.
