Sema profits down in line with profit warnings

IT services company Sema has turned in what it describes as 'disappointing' results with pre-tax profits down 4.4 per cent on last year to £91.9m.

Turnover was up 7.3 per cent on 1999 from £1.41bn to £1.51bn.

The results come after two profit warnings from the Anglo-French company. However, Sema said its strategic direction remains sound and it has embarked upon activities to improve performance.

The company said it has put in place a detailed integration plan following its acquisition of telecoms company LHS, including the finalisation of a product development roadmap.

Sema also said it is going to implement general and administrative cost-cutting measures across the group in the first half of this year.

Earlier this week, it was announced that Schlumberger will acquire the company for £3.6bn.
