o Project Services continuing lag in bookings despite solid pipeline, as customers delay larger projects and closely manage IT budgets

o Maintenance Services flatter this half off the back of a solid FY25 and supported by a strong rebound by the Infrastructure business. Solid EA pipeline should see this improve in 2H

Managed Services ongoing contract wins and renewals, particularly in the resources sector. Solid pipeline for both Enterprise and Onsite Managed Services
