CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S COMMENTARY
We have had an excellent year with record financial results and transformed the
business with two key acquisitions.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Profit before tax increased 26% to £34.5 million (2005: £27.4 million). Revenue
increased 19% to £851 million. The results include four and a half month's
trading from Chartdale Homes, acquired on deferred payment terms for £67 million
in February, and three month's results from the Morrison Construction
businesses, acquired on a debt and cash free basis for £42 million at the end of
March. Profit from operations excluding acquisitions rose 14% to £35.6 million,
with £2.6 million from acquired businesses resulting in a total of £38.2
million. The acquisitions delivered their projected profits to the year end,
their integration into Galliford Try is on track and their prospects for the
future are encouraging. Total Group revenue is therefore anticipated to
significantly exceed £1 billion in the first full financial year following the
acquisitions.
Construction profit from operations rose 45% to £13.2 million on revenue,
including joint ventures, up 16% to £629 million, representing a margin of 2.1%.
Housebuilding has performed well in a market that returned to satisfactory
levels in the second half of the year and profit from operations increased by
15% to a record £32.0 million on revenue, including joint ventures, of £224
million. The costs of our PPP Investments business exceeded income in the year
as we continue to build up our portfolio resulting in a net loss from operations
of £1.6 million. Group profit before tax is stated after a net exceptional gain
of £2.0 million which includes £3.9 million profit on the sale and leaseback of
two of the Group's office premises net of £1.9 million restructuring costs
following the Morrison acquisition.
Our rigorous approach to cash management continues. Construction generated
strong positive cash flows throughout the period and we have closely managed the
capital employed in housebuilding. Net interest reported of £5.0 million
includes £1.9 million of net bank interest (2005: £1.6 million) and at 30 June
2006 we had net cash of £16 million compared to net debt of £12.4 million last
year. Notable cash movements in the year were the payment of the first £25
million of the Chartdale Homes purchase price, £40 million on the acquisition of
Morrison Construction, sale and leaseback receipts of £11.2 million and receipt
of the proceeds of the placing and open offer in March amounting to a net £48.6
million. The tax charge for the year was 26%, reflecting the availability of
capital losses to offset the sale and leaseback profit.
The results for 2006 are being reported for the first time on an IFRS basis. The
return on average shareholders funds in the year of £71.6 million was 48%.
Shareholders funds at 30 June 2006 were £120.1 million (2005: £53.7 million). At
30 June 2006 the final salary pension scheme deficit was £33 million net of
deferred tax. In light of the continuing uncertainties of running final salary
pension schemes, the Company has commenced the process of consulting with
members to close the scheme to future service accrual and provide defined
contribution arrangements. The Company also increased its regular cash
contribution towards the deficit from £3.2 million per annum to £6.2 million in
the year, and is in discussions with the Trustees over funding the remainder of
the deficit.
DIVIDEND
The directors have taken into account current performance and their confidence
in the future prospects for the Group in determining an appropriate level of
dividend. Accordingly, the directors are recommending a final dividend of 1.8p
per share, an increase of 20% on 2005, resulting in a total dividend up 19% to
2.5p. The directors remain committed to a progressive dividend policy which
takes into account earnings growth as well as the need for continued investment
in the business.
OPERATING REVIEW
Construction
Construction profit from operations reached a record level of £13.2 million on
revenue, including joint ventures, of £629 million during the year. The results
include three months trading from Morrison Construction, which delivered its
planned profits for the period and exceeded our targets for securing new work.
The integration of Morrison is proceeding well. We have rationalised the
structure and office network across the country and are confident of exceeding
the anticipated savings to our cost base. Since the start of our new financial
year our construction activities have been operating as two divisions, Building
and Infrastructure, targeting clearly defined market sectors with the objective
of building on our significant presence in each of them. Our overall
construction order book totals £2.3 billion of which 90% is in the public and
regulated sector and over 90% has been secured on criteria other than on a
purely price competitive basis.
Building - Our building division has a good spread of work across its markets in
both private and public sectors. The acquisition of Morrison has given us a
significant presence in the Scottish market, particularly north of the central
belt. The integration of Morrison's English and Welsh operations into the well
established Galliford Try business enables us to offer clients a comprehensive
service across the country in our selected sectors.
Education is a key market for the business. The securing of the 41 school £192
million Northamptonshire Schools PFI project and the 11 school £134 million
Highland Schools PFI project during the year provides work over a three year
period to add to our existing portfolio for universities, schools and colleges.
Since the year end we have also been awarded £51 million of work for two new
academies in London.
Other major public sector markets are in healthcare and prisons. We already
participate in four LIFT frameworks for primary care health authorities and are
now securing projects in subsequent tranches to the initial workload. We are
also at preferred bidder stage for a further LIFT for the South East Essex
Primary Care Trust. We carry out a range of projects for the Home Office under
framework agreements for its prison programme, an area where expenditure is
likely to increase.
We are putting additional investment into our affordable housing business to
generate more development led opportunities with our well established housing
association partners.
The commercial market is more buoyant and we have a number of encouraging
opportunities, particularly in London, where we have recently commenced a £28
million urban regeneration project for the Igloo regeneration fund, at
Bermondsey. We continue to carry out a significant amount of work for the
Ministry of Defence in upgrading living accommodation across the country and are
carrying out a substantial redevelopment for Defence Housing Estates in
Portsmouth.
At the end of August the building division's forward order book stood at £1.14
billion of which 90% has been secured on criteria other than on pure price
competition and over 80% is in the public and regulated sectors.
Infrastructure - The infrastructure division focuses on water, highways, rail,
remediation and ground engineering, renewable energy and telecommunications.
Over 90% of its workload is in frameworks and it has long established
relationships with clients such as the Highways Agency, Scottish Power and
National Grid.
Following the Morrison acquisition, Galliford Try is one of the leading
contractors to the water industry, operating through framework agreements which
provide visibility to future workload, resulting in more predictable profits and
controlled construction risk. We work for most of the UK's water companies;
Southern, Thames, Anglian, United Utilities, Welsh and Yorkshire as well as
Scottish, for whom we have been awarded additional framework projects that will
take our revenue in water to £180 million per annum over the next three years.
Our highways business carries out road projects for the Scottish Executive and
Highways Agency as well as maintenance services, primarily provided to local
authorities. We are shortly to start a £20 million project on the A595 under the
'early contractor involvement' form of contract that suits our collaborative
approach to major construction projects and have a further £100 million of ECI
work in our order book including a £45 million project for remodelling the
intersection at junction 15 of the M40.
Galliford Try is also a leading provider of civil engineering and building
services for the rail sector. We carry out the reconstruction of rail
infrastructure, including bridgeworks, tunnels and viaducts as well as the
refurbishment and new build of stations and rail depots let under a mixture of
framework and individual projects.
We have a well established track record on ground remediation with over 180
sites completed including a series of projects under a long term framework for
the National Grid. The award of the major land remediation contract for the
northern section of Olympic Park in east London, let in a framework agreement
under which we expect to provide work until 2010, demonstrates our success in
developing our presence in a growth market.
We are an established service provider to the renewable energy sector and our
portfolio of windfarm developments for clients such as Scottish Power and Fred
Olsen Renewables is enabling us to take advantage of the good opportunities we
have in this expanding market. Our telecommunications infrastructure business
expanded the range of its activities during the year by acquiring Pentland to
offer a fully integrated service that includes site acquisition.
The forward order book for the infrastructure division currently stands at £1.15
billion of which 90% has been secured on criteria other than on pure price
competition and over 90% is in the public and regulated sectors.
PPP Investments
PPP Investments role is to develop and take equity participation in public /
private partnership arrangements for public sector work, with the objective of
providing negotiated work for our construction activities.
During the year financial close was achieved on two of the largest education PFI
projects in the UK for Northamptonshire County Council and for the Highland
Council, securing £326 million of construction work. We have recently been
appointed preferred bidder on a further LIFT for the South East Essex Primary
Care Trust which has an initial value of £11 million with the potential for a
total of £100 million of work over a number of future tranches.
The integration of the Morrison PFI team into Galliford Try Investments has been
completed, and the Company has now acquired the PFI equity interests from AWG
Group in Highland Schools and Defence Housing Estates Portsmouth following
receipt of the necessary consents. Our strategy is to build up our PFI portfolio
for the future and there were no sales of equity during the year. The division
incurred a net loss from operations of £1.6 million compared to a £1.2 million
loss from operations last year.
Housebuilding
Galliford Try's regional housebuilding businesses in the south west, eastern
counties and the south east of England had a record year for units sold, revenue
and profit.
During the year we completed 1,054 homes compared to 853 in 2005. Our average
selling price rose slightly from £208,000 to £212,000, maintaining our presence
in the mainstream market. Our record profit from operations of £32 million,
representing a margin of 14.3% on revenue, including joint ventures, of £224
million, was achieved in a market that was challenging during the first half of
our financial year, picking up to an acceptable level during the second half.
Our progress was helped by the differentiation that our business model gives us,
with its focus on individually designed developments with a particular strength
in conversions and brownfield developments. We continue to avoid high rise
apartment developments and do not depend on major consortium sites, giving us a
competitive advantage in the market place.
Our business in the eastern counties was significantly boosted during February
with the acquisition of Chartdale Homes. Acquired for a total consideration of
£67 million spread over a two year period, the acquisition added 1,350 plots to
our landbank and extended our geographical coverage throughout the whole of
Lincolnshire. Sales since acquisition have met our expectations, we have secured
the planning consents that were outstanding at the time of acquisition and are
encouraged by the new opportunities that our critical mass in the eastern
counties is now bringing us.
Our track record in brownfield land development, and our relationships with
housing associations and regeneration bodies is increasing the number and size
of schemes we can undertake. 75% of homes sold were on brownfield developments
with all in the south east on brownfield land. We have started selling on the
108 home conversion of the former Queen Elizabeth II hospital at Banstead and
are making progress in securing the necessary planning consents to develop the 8
acre brownfield site in Osterley, west London that we acquired last year. In the
south west, we are following our redevelopment of Truro hospital into 190 units
with our joint development with English Partnerships of a 17 acre site in
Camborne, Cornwall, expected to provide a total of 390 homes, both affordable
and for sale, on which we exchanged contracts since the year end.
We continue to achieve one of the highest scores in independent customer care
research, with over 90% of our purchasers stating they would recommend us to
their best friend. This helps minimise our after sales costs and supports our
reputation among homebuyers generally in the market. We received a number of
sustainable development and design awards during the year, two gold and two
silver awards at the annual Daily Telegraph / What House awards and a CABE
(Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment) gold award for our mixed
development at Gun Wharf, Plymouth.
Our landbank, currently standing at 4,115 units after the Chartdale acquisition,
compares to 2,605 last year. We have limited our exposure to apartments, which
represent 22% of our landbank. In the last year we have secured consents for 81
plots from our strategic land, which currently stands at 625 acres.
Since the start of the new financial year sales, supported by the limited use of
incentives, have exceeded targets and at the end of August the value of total
sales in hand stood at £122 million, up 22% on a year ago.
Health, Safety and Environment
We treat health, safety and environment issues as a priority in our business,
focussing on continuous improvement in our standards as an integral part of our
management process. Our accident incident rate of 7.11 per 1,000 people for the
year showed a reduction for the third successive year.
We are also committed to a policy of effectively managing our environmental
performance in order to minimise the impact of our business processes on the
natural environment. During the year seven of our business units achieved
ISO14001 accreditation.
OUTLOOK
We enter our new financial year in a strong position. Our building and
infrastructure divisions have a well balanced workload across their specific
sectors of expertise, and the structure is in place to deliver continued growth.
The expansion of our housebuilding division is progressing well. We are
encouraged by the way the business has performed in the markets we have faced
and by the opportunities we have to grow both our traditional development and
urban regeneration activities. Our objective is to continue our expansion.
Our finances are very strong. Acquiring Morrison and Chartdale has demonstrated
our ability to supplement organic growth with carefully positioned acquisitions
that fit our strategy. We have proved the success of our business model in
delivering profitable growth and we look forward to reporting further progress
in the coming year.
