Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Significant events
- “The macroeconomic, geopolitical tension and market conditions in Africa continue to be challenging given the recent currency crisis, notably in Angola where the company's subsidiary is selling significantly less to restrict any future losses from non-payment.”
- “The decline in Hardware sales is attributed to the restrictions with the Westcon Export Licence (Shipping Export Authorization Licence (SEAL)/Open Individual Export License (OIEL) UK & Netherlands) which has limited coverage for several countries in Africa.”
- “On 28 June 2023 the company sold one of its subsidiary NOX UK Limited to an indirect parent entity, Westcon International Limited for $1, the investment cost for this company had already been fully impaired.”
- “On 22 July 2024 the company invested US$ 856 in subsidiary Westcon Africa Tunisia having 49% shareholding in the company.”
