XMA LIMITED
Company number 02051703 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
XMA operates as a mid-tier UK IT distributor and solutions provider with meaningful public sector exposure, generating £351.2M revenue in 2022—a decline of 18.5% reflecting post-pandemic demand normalisation across the channel. While its working capital metrics and gross margins are broadly in line with sector norms, the company's operating margin of ~1.7% sits at the lower end of the typical distribution range, and the significant cash deterioration alongside increased bank borrowings signals working capital pressures that warrant monitoring. The strategic headcount expansion during a revenue downturn suggests investment in service capabilities, but this must translate into margin improvement to justify the near-term profitability impact and position XMA competitively against larger, better-capitalised channel players.
