Annual Report 2016-17 | Department of Corporate and Information Services186 D ATA CEN TR E SERVICES FIN AN CIAL R EPO RT Financial Statement Overview For the year ended 30 June 2017 Data Centre Services (DCS) achieved an improved operating result for 2016-17 of $2.9 million after tax, $0.6 million above budget expectations. This operating result has been achieved primarily through higher than expected revenue due to increased client demand. Income was higher than budget in 2016-17 due to an increase in demand for midrange services and an increase in mainframe income. Expenses were lower than budget due to timing changes for asset acquisitions reducing expected depreciation expenses. DCS will pay an income tax equivalent of $1.3 million and will return a dividend of $1.5 million to government for 2016-17.
