Trading Update

 

 

The Board of Henry Boot PLC issues the following pre-close trading update for the year ended 31 December 2014.

 

Subsequent to the recent trading update on 9 December 2014, trading continued to be healthy through to 31 December 2014, in particular, in our plant, construction and jointly owned house builder businesses. This performance, coupled with minor variations to expected property values arising from the year end external property valuation, means that the Board is pleased to announce that profit before tax for the year ended 31 December 2014 is expected to be comfortably ahead of current consensus market expectations.

 

2015 has started well across all of the Group's businesses with the seven land sale transactions mentioned in the trading update, progressing satisfactorily towards a conclusion in the year.

 

We look forward to updating shareholders in more detail at the time of our 2014 full year results announcement on Thursday 26 March 2015.
