Executive Management Team Update

On September 18, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Endava plc (the “Company”) appointed Conor McShane from AlixPartners LLP, a leading global business advisory firm, to serve as the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer, and designated him as principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, effective September 21, 2026.

The appointment follows the decision of the Board, upon the recommendation of the Company’s Audit Committee of the Board (the “Committee”), to place Mark Thurston, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, on administrative leave, effective September 21, 2026. Mr. Thurston’s leave is pending the conclusion of an ongoing investigation being conducted by independent outside counsel for the Committee, which was initiated in response to the Company’s outside auditors raising concerns about the Company’s accounting treatment of certain customer and supplier agreements and related matters. The independent investigation is ongoing, and to ensure the fairness of that process, the Company does not plan further comment pending conclusion of the investigation.

On September 21, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the matters described above and that, relative to its historical reporting schedule, the Company expects to publish its earnings release and host its conference call relating to the fourth quarter and full year financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, as well as file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended June 30, 2026, on a later timetable. The Company intends to publish its financial results and file its Annual Report on Form 20-F by November 2, 2026, the deadline required under applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
