Half-year Financial Report

Summary by AI BETAClose X

Onward Homes Limited has published its interim trading statement for the period April 1st, 2025, to September 30th, 2025, reporting a net surplus before tax of £15.9 million, a significant increase from £9.1 million in the prior year's first half. This improvement is attributed to a 4.5% rise in rental income and a 1.2% reduction in operating costs, driven by lower maintenance work volumes. Strategic asset sales also saw a 9% increase, providing additional financial capacity for investment. Despite an anticipated rise in expenditure in the second half of the year, performance is expected to remain in line with budget and covenant compliance.
