Capita (CPI) investor relations material

Strategic rationale and transformation

• Disposal of the commercial/private sector contact center business to Inspirit Capital enables a sharper focus on core strengths, AI-led BPO, and technology-enabled transformation in public sector and pensions markets.

• The transaction supports a shift toward complex middle and back office opportunities, with the divested business better positioned for growth under new ownership.

• Significant transformation progress achieved, including cost base improvements, digital investments, and resolution of legacy issues.

• Margin expansion and material overhead reduction expected post-transaction, with a leaner, more resilient business model.

• The deal is expected to benefit shareholders, customers, and employees, aligning with a vision for a focused, growth-oriented business.
