2022 full year results; revised publication date
Mears Group PLC
("Mears" or the "Group" or the "Company")
2022 full year results; revised publication date.
The Group's external auditor, Ernst & Young LLP (EY), has informed the Mears Board that, due to an unanticipated absence of the senior statutory auditor responsible for signing the Mears accounts, the senior statutory auditor will not be available to complete the audit process of the 2022 financials which were due to be released on 30 March.
EY has confirmed that prior to this absence, all audit procedures were progressing satisfactorily to achieve the planned release date of 30 March and has apologised unreservedly for this delay. As a result, due to this issue outside of the company's control, the release of the Group's preliminary results will be delayed. EY and the Company are currently working through the onboarding process for a new senior statutory auditor and a new proposed audit close timetable as soon as practicable. Once this process is complete, we will communicate the revised preliminary release date.
The Board of Mears emphasises that this delay is not because of any concerns relating to the 2022 financial statements.

About Mears
Mears is the leading provider of services to the Affordable Housing sector, providing a range of services to individuals within their homes. We manage and maintain around 450,000 homes across the UK and work predominantly with Central Government and Local Government typically through long-term contracts.

Mears currently employs around 5,500 people and provides services in every region of the UK. In partnership with our Housing clients, we provide property management and maintenance services. Mears has extended its activities to provide broader housing solutions to solve the challenge posed by the lack of affordable housing and to provide accommodation and support for the most vulnerable.
We focus on long-term outcomes for people rather than short-term solutions and invest in innovations that have a positive impact on people's quality of life and on their communities' social, economic, and environmental wellbeing. Our innovative approaches and market leading positions are intended to create value for our customers and the people they serve while also driving sustainable financial returns for our providers of capital, especially our shareholders.
