The Group’s revenue increased by 14% to £1,935m whilst adjusted profit before tax rose 10% to £59.8m. In addition, the Group has a strong balance sheet, with net cash at the period end of £263m. This positive momentum is driven by a high-quality and substantial order book of £9.1bn, up 7% on the year-end position, which spans a number of sectors across the built environment.
The Group’s Chief Executive, John Morgan, said:
Whilst the economic backdrop remains challenging, conditions have generally eased across most of our markets as the year has progressed. Our strong balance sheet, including a substantial net cash position allows us to be selective in the jobs we win and to continue make the right decisions for long-term sustainable growth.
We upgraded our expectations for the full-year in June, primarily based on an anticipation of continued outperformance from our Fit Out division. Since then, there has been no change to the overall expectations for the Group, and we remain confident of delivering another record performance for the full year.
