A completed acquisition has moved Dicker Data (ASX:DDR) further into Southeast Asia, adding a regional distribution platform to its established Australia and New Zealand operations. On 2 November 2026, the technology distributor confirmed completion of its purchase of Sektor Group. The transaction follows a series of distribution and logistics initiatives designed to broaden the technologies and services available to its reseller network.

Sektor Extends the Geographic Footprint

Dicker Data agreed in October to acquire 100% of Sektor Group for NZD 138 mn, approximately AUD 111.8 mn, on a cash-free, debt-free and normalised working-capital basis. The transaction was subsequently completed on 2 November. Sektor operates across Australia, New Zealand, Thailand and Malaysia, adding a Southeast Asian presence to Dicker Data’s existing channel distribution network. Before completion, the company identified additional categories including enterprise mobility, point-of-sale equipment, cybersecurity and physical security as part of the transaction rationale. These activities broaden the product coverage and geographic markets accessible through the combined distribution platform.

Transaction Economics Set a Measurable Target

For the 12 months to 31 August 2026, Sektor generated gross Revenue of NZD 440 mn and unaudited normalised pre-AASB16 EBITDA of NZD 22.7 mn. Dicker Data identified a target for annualised post-integration pre-AASB16 EBITDA of approximately NZD 28–32 mn, excluding one-off transaction and integration costs. Those targets remain subject to execution rather than completed financial results. The transaction was to be financed through an extension of the company’s existing Debt facilities. Dicker Data expected the acquisition to be Earnings accretive in FY26, excluding one-off transaction and integration costs, when it announced the deal.

AI Logistics Meets Channel Distribution

The company also introduced Advanced Logistics Services in August 2026. The service receives, validates, securely stores, consolidates and prepares equipment for complex AI, high-performance computing and data-centre projects. Its design allows partners to bring together components from different vendors before delivery to installation sites, including equipment not originally purchased from Dicker Data. This gives the distributor a distinct service offering alongside its traditional hardware and software channels. During the year, Dicker Data also announced new distribution arrangements involving Sophos, AvePoint and ADATA, extending its coverage across security, data governance and storage.

Integration and Portfolio Development Come Next

The key operational task after completion is bringing Sektor into the existing distribution group while retaining the planned benefits of its international operations. The company’s previously published NZD 28–32 mn annualised EBITDA objective provides a measurable integration target, but does not constitute a reported result. Beyond the deal, its newer logistics and cybersecurity offerings remain part of its stated product and service development. Future updates will distinguish acquisition contributions from performance in the existing business.

Dicker Data shares closed at AUD 14.79 on 12 November 2026, up 0.27% on the day. The stock traded between AUD 14.70 and AUD 15.05.
