**[DCC plc](https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/ftse-company/dcc-plc/dcc.l) **(
LON:DCC), the leading international energy sales, marketing and support services
group, has issued this Trading Statement for the third quarter ended 31 December
2025.

**Strong growth in third quarter**

Group adjusted operating profit, on a continuing basis, for the third quarter ended
31 December 2025 grew strongly compared with the prior year. DCC delivered good 
organic growth and benefited from the first-time contribution from the acquisition
of FLAGA in Austria, which completed in late November 2025. 

DCC Energy delivered strong operating profit growth in the third quarter. Our largest
business, Solutions, recorded good operating profit growth, driven by a strong performance
in Energy Products. This was offset somewhat by challenging trading conditions for
Energy Services in the UK. Weather, which primarily impacts heating activities within
Energy Products, was broadly in line with the prior year across the regions in which
we operate. Mobility continued to perform well, generating excellent organic profit
growth during the period.

DCC Technology’s operating profit was in line with the prior year on a continuing
basis. After a difficult first half the business in North America returned to growth
during the period.

**Outlook – Operating profit guidance for year maintained**

DCC continues to expect that the year ending 31 March 2026 will be a year of good
operating profit growth on a continuing basis, significant strategic progress and
ongoing development activity.

**Development update – DCC enters new liquid gas markets**

Earlier this financial year, DCC announced that we had entered Austria, Poland and
other smaller Central and Eastern European liquid gas markets focused on customers
off the gas grid. These acquisitions represent a compelling consolidation opportunity
in new markets, a core competence of DCC. We will also drive returns through procurement
synergies across Continental Europe.

Further details of these transactions can be found in DCC’s stock exchange announcements
of 21 October 2025 and 15 January 2026.

DCC has now committed approximately £100 million to acquisitions since our prior
year Final Results in May 2025. Our Group development teams remain active, and we
have a growing pipeline of acquisition opportunities in the energy sector.

**Strategy implementation – Plan to become Energy Group almost complete**

In November 2024, DCC announced plans to simplify the Group’s operations and focus
on the growth and development of DCC Energy, the largest and highest returning division
of the Group. In the 14 months since this announcement, we have made significant
progress with: the sale of DCC Healthcare, the return of capital following that 
divestment and the disposal of our Info Tech business.

The remainder of DCC Technology, is a leader in the sales, marketing and distribution
of specialist Pro AV, Pro Audio and related products and services. We continue to
expect to reach agreement for the sale of DCC Technology by the end of calendar 
year 2026.

The simplification of the Group enables our management team to focus our capital
deployment on the compelling opportunity in our energy businesses. 

**Date for Final Results**

DCC expects to announce its results for the year ending 31 March 2026 on Tuesday
19 May 2026.
