The company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), grew by 16% to £622m.

Sage also separately announced a share buyback programme of up to £400m, reflecting its strong cash generation, robust financial position, and what the board said was it’s confidence in Sage’s future prospects.
