However, the strong H1 performance will clearly support the full year outturn and as a result the Board expects to slightly exceed previous expectations.\nThis announcement has been determined to contain inside information.\nNotes to Trading Update\n[1] Adjusted operating profit is defined as operating profit before exceptional items and share-based payment charges.\n \n\n\n\n\nFor further information, please contact:\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nSoftcat plc\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nMartin Hellawell, Chief Executive Officer\n\n\n+ 44 (0)1628 403 610\n\n\n\n\nGraham Charlton, Chief Financial Officer\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nMedia Enquiries ‐ FTI Consulting LLP\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nEd Bridges/Matt Dixon/Dwight Burden\n\n\n+ 44 (0)20 3727 1000\n\n\n\n\n \n\nThis information is provided by RNSThe company news service from the London Stock Exchange END TSTKELFBVLFFBBF\n ","length":3193,"tagName":"div"}]
