FY26 July Trading Update
Summary by AI BETAClose X
THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
15 July 2026
Solid performance and increased shareholder returns
Barratt Redrow plc (the 'Group' or the 'Company') is today issuing a trading update for the 52 weeks ended 28 June 2026 (the 'year' and 'FY26') ahead of publication of its annual results on 16 September 2026. Comparatives are to the year ended 29 June 2025 ('FY25') unless otherwise stated.
David Thomas, Chief Executive, commented:
"Barratt Redrow has delivered a solid performance in a challenging market, completing 17,6671 homes and generating adjusted profit before tax2 in line with market expectations3. This reflects the quality of our homes, the strength of our three complementary brands and the operational excellence of our teams across the business.
The sector continues to navigate macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, alongside industry headwinds and subdued customer demand, which have weighed on market sentiment. However, this means that given our performance and resulting balance sheet strength, deploying capital through an expanded share buyback programme is currently the most effective way to create long-term shareholder value, and we intend to return £400m to shareholders in FY27, primarily through share buybacks.
Despite the backdrop, we are very well positioned. Redrow has been successfully integrated and is delivering the synergies planned and we continue to target further cost savings. Our flexible business model, strong balance sheet and further opportunities to optimise capital employed, such as the roll out of further synergy sales outlets, position us well to drive attractive returns for shareholders over the long term."

Performance overview
Despite continued improvements in mortgage availability this year, consumer sentiment remained cautious particularly after the start of the conflict in the Middle East, with heightened macro uncertainty, and the corresponding risks around inflation, driving mortgage rates higher, continuing to pressure affordability.
In this context, we are pleased to have delivered total home completions towards the upper end of our guidance range at 17,6671 homes and adjusted profit before tax and before the impact of PPA adjustments2 in line with current market expectations3.
This solid performance reflects the proactive approach we have taken to managing our business, including the careful use of incentives, rigorous management of our cost base partially offsetting margin pressure, and reduced investment into land.
These actions have resulted in a significant reduction in our administrative expense base and a strong net cash position at year-end, which, notwithstanding the Company's financial obligations, including settlement payments in respect of land creditors and building safety remediation spend, position us to undertake a significant capital return, the parameters of which are set out below.
Throughout the year our teams have remained focused on build quality and customer service. We are delighted that 122 of our site managers were recognised by the NHBC Pride in the Job Awards for build quality and site management in June 2026, more than any other housebuilder for the 22nd consecutive year. For the 17th successive year, we were also awarded a maximum 5 Star rating in the HBF customer satisfaction survey, an unparalleled record in the industry. These industry-leading indicators of site management discipline, build quality and customer service have underpinned our solid performance, despite the challenging market.
Update to capital allocation framework
The Board regularly reviews the Group's capital allocation framework to ensure it supports our long-term strategy, balancing disciplined investment in the business, with maintaining balance sheet strength, financial flexibility, and taking due account of the views of our shareholders.
Method and framework of return
Since our interim results in February 2026, the share price discount to our tangible net asset value of 433.4 pence per share (at 29 December 2025) has increased from c. 9%5 to 36%5. Given the overall strength of the business and our balance sheet, this material discount presents an opportunity to optimise shareholder returns through additional share buyback activity, which we will undertake in preference to ordinary dividends5.
The Board has also concluded that 50% remains the correct proportion of adjusted net income to be returned to shareholders annually. This recurring element of shareholder return will now be distributed by way of a share buyback, save for a nominal payment of 1 pence per share, to enable certain shareholders to comply with their investment mandates.
The distribution of 50% of adjusted net income will be supplemented by an additional share buyback, the quantum of which has taken into consideration the following:
|
· |
The Group's required investment in land and work in progress: while current macro-economic conditions will limit new land investment, the Board has considered the requirements for investment in site infrastructure and work in progress which will be required to meet our pipeline of additional sales outlets, delivering both closing outlet replacement and growth in FY27 and FY28.
|
|
· |
Our balance sheet position: the seasonal nature of our business means our balance sheet position fluctuates through the year reflecting our build and sales cycles, as we invest in housebuilding work in progress and then, later, receive the cash flows from home completions. By way of illustration, the closing position for FY26 was net cash of c. £772m at the 28 June 2026 and £173.9m at 28 December 2025, compared to average daily net cash of c. £122m across FY26.
|
|
· |
Our ongoing financial obligations: land creditors and our legacy building safety remediation obligations, are significant cashflow commitments for our business which are expected to equate to outflows of c. £630m in FY27 and c. £645m for FY28.
|
The Board has also affirmed its intention that the Group should, at this current point in the cycle, continue to operate with minimal year-end total indebtedness6 in the medium term.
As highlighted in our February HY26 results, we see future flexibility to optimise our existing capital employed, including land sales as well as swaps and further dual and triple branding of our sales outlets, which will enable us to grow sales outlets, but require reduced land and WIP investment. This is in addition to more targeted land replacement, which we have demonstrated during FY26.
The Board keeps its approach to capital allocation under regular review and, in particular, while the discount to tangible net asset value at which our shares trade presents an opportunity to optimise shareholder returns. In addition, where we see opportunities to crystalise value across our business, without significantly constraining future growth and returns, the Board expects that future share buybacks will be prioritised as the preferred method of returning capital to shareholders.
Quantum of return
As a result, and taking account of the Group's commitment to return 50% of adjusted net income, in FY27 the Board intends to return c. £400m to shareholders primarily through a share buyback. c. £14m will be paid as an ordinary dividend of 1p per share with c. £386m to be delivered through share buybacks, subject to continued shareholder approval of the required authorities at the Group's 2026 AGM.
The total shareholder return is notionally composed of:
|
· |
c. £130m equating to 50% of 2H FY26 adjusted net earnings pre PPA adjustments (including the 1p nominal ordinary dividend); and,
|
|
· |
c. £270m comprising 50% of HY27 estimated net earnings and additional capital, including the previous and ongoing commitment to a share buyback of at least £100m annually.
|
Accordingly, the Group is today announcing a new share buyback programme of c. £386m, starting today and completing by 2 July 2027. The c. £14m nominal dividend will be paid as per the Group's usual dividend timetable.
Trading
Reservation rates
Our net private reservation rate, excluding PRS and other MUS was slightly ahead of last year at 0.56 (FY25: 0.55A, 0.56R), despite the increased uncertainties and escalation in mortgage rates. Our reservation rate was 0.50 for the final quarter (Q4 FY25: 0.52).
Our overall private reservation rate at 0.64 (FY25: 0.63A, 0.64R) included a contribution of 0.08 (FY25: 0.08A & R) from PRS and other MUS; the total private reservation rate across the final quarter was 0.75 (Q4 FY25: 0.72) with a 0.25 contribution from PRS and other MUS (Q4 FY25: 0.20) (Appendix 1).
Incentives
Incentives moved higher from October 2025 due to Budget-related uncertainty and have remained at broadly this higher level through the remainder of FY26, supporting our solid reservation rate. Part-exchange, which provides customers with a smoother home move experience and greater certainty, has also been a powerful sales tool, accounting for 21% of private reservations in the year (FY25: 14%A & R).
To sustain the momentum in our sales rate and based on current market conditions we expect incentives to remain at their current level in FY27, unless there is an improvement in consumer sentiment and the wider trading environment.
Home completions and ASPs
Total home completions (including JVs) were up 5% to 17,667 in the year (FY25: 16,826A, 16,565R), this included 3,774 affordable homes (FY25: 2,963A, 2,898R) (see Appendix 2). Performance was weighted towards the second half, consistent with our usual trading pattern. PRS and other MUS delivered 1,298 homes, in line with last year (FY25: 1,306A, 1,305R).
The total average selling price ('ASP') for the year was c. £352k (FY25: £344.2kA, £343.8kR), with the private ASP increasing by c. 3.8% to c. £396k (FY25: £381.5kA, £380.6kR). This increase has been driven by geographic and product mix, with a greater contribution from regions with a higher ASP and reflects an increase in average unit size delivered. The underlying ASP pricing movement, excluding the impacts of size, geographic and product mix was estimated at just under 1% in FY26. The affordable ASP was c. £196k (FY25: £176.8kA, £177.1kR) and benefited from additional affordable completions in London in FY26.
Sales outlets
As expected, we operated from an average of 405 (FY25: 423A, 405R) active sales outlets during FY26 (including 9 JVs (FY25: 10A & R)). At 28 June 2026 we were operating from 411 (29 June 2025: 407) active sales outlets (including 9 JVs (29 June 2025: 10)).
We launched a total of 136 new sales outlets in the year, including 12 synergy sales outlets. Early performance from these synergy developments has been encouraging, reinforcing our belief that bringing together our three complementary brands enhances customer choice and supports sales performance. We are on track to launch an additional 18 synergy sales outlets in FY27 and at least 15 in FY28, in line with our target of 45 in total. We have previously guided towards average sales outlets of between 425 and 435 for FY27. The combination of a targeted acceleration in sales outlet closures and the continued slow pace of planning has resulted in a revision to this guidance, with around 415 average sales outlets now anticipated to be in operation across FY27.
Order book
Our forward sales position remained solid at the end of FY26, with total forward sales (including JVs) of £2,818.0m at 28 June 2026 (29 June 2025: £2,921.6m), equating to 9,728 homes (29 June 2025: 9,835). At 28 June 2026, 63% of these homes (29 June 2025: 67%) were contractually exchanged (see Appendices 3 and 4). Excluding PRS and other MUS orders, our private forward order book implies a reduction in ASP of 1.1%, this incorporates underlying ASP decline (excluding incentive movements) of c. 1.4%, as well as changes in average home size and geographic mix, when compared to the position at 29 June 2025.
Redrow integration and synergies
We expect to deliver incremental cost synergies of c. £53m in FY26, c. £3m ahead of previous guidance through accelerated delivery. We will, as a result, have delivered c. £73m of the cumulative cost synergies target of £100m. The balance of c. £27m, primarily focused on procurement related synergies, will be delivered in large part in FY27 with any remaining balance delivered in HY28, in line with the commitments made at the time of the Redrow acquisition.
From an operational perspective, the integration of Redrow, including the IT integration has now completed.
Administrative expenses and profit from JVs
The combination of both synergies from the Redrow acquisition as well as our proactive and disciplined approach to managing our cost base, highlighted within our HY26 results, is expected to deliver a more significant reduction in total administrative expenses for FY26. We now expect adjusted administrative expenses will total c. £330m in FY26, compared to previous guidance of c. £400m and the combined adjusted administrative expenses across the standalone Barratt and Redrow businesses of £419.5m reported in FY24.
We currently expect administrative expenses to be in the region of c. £360m for FY27.
Joint venture income for FY26 will be c. £7m with a similar contribution expected in FY27.
Build cost inflation
In line with guidance provided in April, average build cost inflation for FY26 was c. 2%, with c. 1% cost inflation seen in HY26 and a higher rate of c. 3% experienced in the second half of the year.
Recent volatility in global energy prices and supply chain disruption may increase build cost inflation in FY27. However, the extent of any impact remains uncertain and will depend on movements in energy prices, broader market conditions and the pace at which supply chains normalise. We are working with suppliers to secure competitive, sustainable pricing while retaining the flexibility to reflect any reduction in input costs over the coming months. The scale of our business, enhanced by the Redrow acquisition, and our long-standing supplier relationships are key advantages.
With build costs split roughly 60:40 between materials and labour, we currently anticipate overall build cost inflation in FY27 could be around c. 3% to 4% in FY27, assuming building materials and product inflation of 4% to 5%, and labour cost inflation of 2% to 3%, reflecting the potential slowdown in activity across the wider industry.
Adjusted items
Estimated adjusted items in the year are c. £159m (FY25: £275.9mA, £248.2mR). This included first half net adjusted item charges of £30.1m. Adjusted items in FY26 are detailed in Appendix 6 but, in summary, include:
|
· |
additional net legacy property provision charges of c. £95m;
|
|
· |
imputed non-cash legacy property provision finance charges of c. £40m;
|
|
· |
share of additional legacy property provision charges in relation to JVs of c. £13m;
|
|
· |
recoveries from sub-contractors with respect to legacy properties of c. £38m;
|
|
· |
legal costs incurred in relation to legacy properties recoveries from third parties of c. £14m; and |
|
· |
restructuring costs, as previously guided, related to realising synergies from the Redrow acquisition of c. £35m.
|
Land
We approved 3,029 plots for purchase across 27 sites in FY26 (FY25: 22,530 plots across 108 sites). This level of approval activity was sharply reduced when compared with FY25 and is below the 7,000 to 9,000 plots guided to in our 15 April 2026 trading update. This reflects the cancellation of 4,121 plots across 17 sites in the second half of the year, as well as our increasingly selective approach to land acquisition (Appendix 5). Land spend for the year was c. £625m (FY25: £862.5m) and below our revised guidance of £700m - £800m in April. For FY27, we expect land approvals to be between 6,000 and 8,000 plots, but subject to market conditions and land opportunities throughout the year.
Over the medium term, our target is to operate with land creditors funding c. 20% - 25% of our land bank. While this remains the case, with fewer land opportunities expected to meet our hurdle rate in the current year and the scheduled cash settlements of existing land creditors, this funding percentage will, absent a change in market and land buying conditions, fall in the near term.
The length of our existing landbank at c. 5.2 years owned and controlled land, supports this flexible approach. Longer term, to make more efficient use of our capital, and as the benefits of planning reforms start to be realised, our stated target is to operate with a shorter owned and controlled landbank of 4.5 years, supported by an increasing conversion from our strategic land portfolio.
Balance sheet at 28 June 2026 and ongoing financial obligations
Our balance sheet position remains strong. As at 28 June 2026, the Group held net cash of c. £772m (29 June 2025: £772.6m), ahead of guidance provided in April. Average daily net cash across FY26 was c. £122m (FY25: £467m average daily net cash).
As mentioned earlier, the Group has several additional financial obligations, including short term cash outflows in respect of land creditors and legacy property provisions. These collectively are expected to result in cash outflows of £630m in FY27 and £645m in FY28, as follows:
|
· |
Land creditors: totalled c. £720m (29 June 2025: £809.4m) at the end of the financial year and equated to c. 15% (29 June 2025: 15.9%) of the owned land bank. Existing land creditor settlements are expected to be c. £330m in FY27 and c. £195m in FY28.
|
|
· |
Legacy property provisions: the total provision for remediation carried on the balance sheet at 28 June 2026 was c. £1,075m (29 June 2025: £1,073.8m). Utilisation of this provision in FY26 was c. £155m, approximately £100m below the spend anticipated at the start of the year with the timing of cashflows pushed out as a result of regulatory and build delays. Legacy property provision utilisation is expected to total c. £300m in FY27 and c. £450m in FY28.
|
Management succession
As announced on 4 March 2026, David Thomas our Group Chief Executive will be retiring, and the Board has appointed Dean Banks as its next Group Chief Executive. Dean brings more than 15 years' senior executive experience from leading global businesses, including Ventia Pty Limited, where he has served as Group Chief Executive since 2021, Balfour Beatty plc and De La Rue Ltd. He will join the Company as Group Chief Executive and Executive Director from 21 September 2026. David will hand over to Dean and then David will be available to the Group until 3 March 2027.
In addition, as announced on 19 June 2026, the Board is pleased to have appointed Rebecca Napier as Chief Financial Officer. Most recently CFO of Britvic plc, Rebecca also spent 17 years at IAG plc. She will start with the Group on 3 August 2026.
Outlook
We have proactively managed our business through a year of challenging market conditions and these pressures are ongoing. In that context and reflecting the significant discount to tangible net assets at which the shares are trading it has been appropriate to update our approach to shareholder returns and to capitalise on that discount for the benefit of our shareholders.
While recent planning reforms should, in time, boost housing delivery, planning alone will not be enough. The Government must also take action to support demand, particularly for first-time buyers. By removing barriers to home ownership and addressing the increasing regulatory and tax burdens that are constraining viability across many parts of the country, it can help unlock higher levels of housing delivery, including affordable housing, to tackle the housing crisis, create jobs and drive economic growth nationwide.
Operationally, FY27 performance will continue to be influenced by the broader macroeconomic environment but as we have demonstrated, we have a resilient business and can adapt quickly. Higher mortgage rates and affordability pressures will continue to influence customer confidence, but mortgage availability remains competitive and our experience on the ground is that demand from committed buyers remains resilient. In this context and based on our revised estimate of c. 415 average sales outlets in FY27, we are guiding to completions of between 17,700 and 18,200, including c. 600 from JVs in FY27. See Appendix 7 for summarised guidance points.
Notwithstanding this backdrop, Barratt Redrow is well placed: our business model is resilient, our balance sheet is strong, we have three complementary brands which are performing well, we are focused on further enhancing our cost base efficiency and we have additional opportunities to optimise our capital employed to enhance returns for shareholders.
The person responsible for the release of this announcement on behalf of Barratt Redrow is Kathryn Hudson, (Company Secretary).

* Additional legacy property charges are expected to total c. £95m net, comprising:
· Building safety portfolio: a net provision charge of c. £104m primarily relating to the costs relating to two individual developments within the portfolio under review;
· Reinforced concrete frame portfolio: a net release of c. £9m primarily reflecting a c. £50m charge with respect to additional remediation works at one London development offset by a similar release of provision with respect to a second development, again in London.
Other movements in the two provisions which make up our legacy properties portfolio, relating to changes in build and labour cost inflation assumptions and the scheduling of remediation spend over the coming years, are expected to result in a minimal net additional charge to the legacy property provision portfolio.
** Looking forward to FY27, anticipated adjusted items are currently expected to be c. £40m and relate primarily to non-cash legacy property provision imputed finance charges. This charge is expected to reduce over the following years as legacy provisions are utilised.
