DCC announces sale of IT business

DCC has entered into an agreement to sell its Info Tech business in the UK and Ireland to private equity investor, Aurelius.

The transaction prices the business at a total enterprise value of £100m.

In the year to 31 March 2025, Info Tech recorded £2bn in revenue and represented approximately 1% of DCC’s continuing operating profit.

The Dublin-headquartered, FTSE 100 constituent said that the net proceeds of the sale are "not material".

The transaction follows the sale of DCC Healthcare in April to HealthCo Investment Limited on a cash-free, debt-free basis.

Chief executive at DCC, Donal Murphy, said that the sale of Info Tech marks "huge strategic progress" for the firm this year.

He concluded: "The divestment of Info Tech in the UK and Ireland is a further material step in simplifying our Group and focusing on our high growth, high return, energy business.

"We are confident that Aurelius will be a strong partner for our UK and Ireland Info Tech business, driving further operational and financial improvement. This transaction also represents a positive move for our team, providing new opportunities for growth, development, and long-term success."
