"DXC Technology closed out our fourth quarter, and our fiscal year, by delivering strong digital performance and sequential growth in revenue, bookings, and cash flow," said Mike Lawrie, chairman, president and CEO. "We continued to enhance our portfolio of digital offerings, and we are re-skilling current employees to equip them with new digital capabilities and certifications. We have also hired thousands of new employees with advanced digital skills, and added more through acquisitions, to further scale our digital workforce. Our acquisition of Luxoft is expected to be completed as planned by the end of June, and this will further strengthen DXC’s ability to design and deploy transformative digital solutions for clients at scale."
