Market Outlook and Order Book Strength

  • UK government committed to a £725 billion infrastructure reinvestment program, with a three-year funded pipeline and strong visibility for contractors.

  • Access to a £156 billion addressable market through frameworks, covering sectors like health, education, housing, water, and roads.

  • Order book reached a record £11.0bn, securing 91% of FY26 and 70% of FY27 revenue, providing high confidence in future order book quality and visibility up to 10 years.

  • Market demand driven by population growth, ageing infrastructure, and net zero commitments.

  • Focus on vital, non-discretionary infrastructure (defense, housing, schools, hospitals) ensures resilience against government spending pressures.

  • Profit before tax increased 15% to £78.1m, net cash improved 22% to £204m, and free cash flow was £155.4m, supporting deleveraging and balance sheet strength.

  • Dividend per share increased 38% to 7.2p, with a three-time cover target, and a £20m share buyback was launched.

  • Capital allocation prioritizes CapEx, dividends, property investment, opportunistic M&A, and share buybacks, with a cautious approach to cover and liquidity.

  • £400m of debt facilities in place, including £250m Senior Loan Notes (2029) and £150m RCF (2027), with optimal cash level near zero and strong liquidity from property assets.

Sector Strategy, Risk Management, and ESG

  • 70% of order book is government-funded, 15% regulated, and the rest private, with strict controls on private sector exposure.

  • Frameworks are essential for market access, with a 98% success rate in construction; qualitative factors like ESG and community engagement are key to winning positions.

  • 71% of FY25 revenue derived from green products/services, and a 4.3% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions achieved.

  • Conservative approach to risk, avoiding overtrading and high-risk sectors like data centers and high-end residential until market conditions improve.

  • Delivered £531m in added social value and increased employee engagement to 80.5%.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
