Site still under construction.
Just the way I like a company, involved in all the nasties. Forward P/E of only just over 7 and has plenty of cash and assets proping it up. Held the share for over a year now but it looks from the chart that its breaking out once more. Well worth keeping an eye on this one, especially in uncertain markets were it seems to do well. Not a fashionable stock so theres not much research around, but its certainly got a very strong balance sheet. A good strong management team aswell.
Used to be called Montpellier Group MPL.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REVIEW as at last results to 30/9/2005.
In the period to the end of the financial year, and subsequently, I have visited
all of our subsidiary businesses, met our senior staff and visited a large
number of our projects. These visits have enabled me to undertake a detailed
assessment of the performance and prospects for each business. The majority of
the Group's businesses have been profitable for many years and trade under
well-respected and long-standing brand identities operating in selected markets,
defined by specialist activity, regional knowledge and experience.
This review process has enabled me to gain a full understanding of the Group's
businesses and agree with the Board a strategy for the Group going forward.
This is fundamentally a development of the Group strategy which was implemented
last year, focusing on the specialisms of our constituent brands which sets them
apart from others in the market. As mentioned in the Chairman's Statement it is
proposed to change the Group's name to Renew Group Plc to better reflect this
strategy.
The Group's specialist areas of activity are:
Land remediation
Nuclear decommissioning
Social housing
High quality residential
Structural refurbishment
Restoration
Retail
Science and Education
Rail infrastructure
These markets have good future prospects and the Board will look to grow the
Group's operations in each while building on client relationships which have
been developed over many years. All the Group's businesses will continue
developing these relationships to ensure longer term working arrangements and
increased repeat and negotiated business.
Key to the Group's strategic objectives is having an effective and efficient
executive control in place. I have formed an Executive Management Committee
comprising the Managing Directors of the subsidiary businesses, who will all
report directly to me. This new committee will co-ordinate the strategy, across
the Group, sharing knowledge and best practice, and continue to implement key
processes to ensure that we effectively manage all our risks and safely deliver
high quality services.
In addition, control will be enhanced by regular visits to the individual
businesses by me and my senior financial and commercial colleagues to ensure
that all controls are being implemented and that Group policies are communicated
widely.
The specialist differentiators within the Group give us an excellent opportunity
to develop the business further and I am confident that we will deliver reliable
and growing profits in the years ahead.
DYOR.
cheers GF.

Full press release:
Britannia Rings Up 22m New Contracts
Britannia Construction, one of the specialist contracting arms of Renew, has
maintained its winning run with more than 22m worth of new contracts secured in
the last month.
Two contracts from Tesco, the UKs number one retailer and long-standing client,
are worth 14m. The Cheltenham store will undergo a 7m extension and refit
while a new 64,000 sq ft store will be constructed at Brockworth, near Gloucester.
The two projects bring the value of schemes undertaken by Britannia for Tesco to
more than 225m. A 4.5m 53,000 sq ft B&Q store will also be constructed in
Folkestone, Britannia being selected despite the contract being outside its normal
geographical area of operation.
South Oxfordshire District Council has awarded a 2.5m contract to construct a
hugely popular five screen cinema in the heart of Didcot town centre. The state of
the art cinema is due to be operated by Cine-UK when it opens in 2007.
A string of civil engineering contracts have also been secured reflecting Britannias
expertise in this sector. In Cwmbran in South Wales, Prudential Assurance has
awarded a 676,000 contract for concrete and paving repairs to the town centre.
Britannia beat a number of local contractors to secure a 329,000 contract for
Birmingham City Council to improve a number of bus routes on key approaches
into the city. Separate contracts for car park extensions will be carried out in
Swindon for BMW and at Cheltenham General Hospital, worth 386,000 and
259,000 respectively.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Introduction
I am pleased to report that the Group has made good progress over the past year.
All of the Group's businesses are trading profitably and are generating
corresponding levels of cash. These results do not include any exceptional items
and the Board remains confident that historic contract exposures are fully
provided for - evidence that the Group is in good health.
Further and stronger focus on particular areas of specialism where the Group has
strong skills and experience continues to enhance the quality and visibility of
earnings flow. This is highlighted in more detail in the Chief Executive's
report that follows. The Board remains committed to improving the Group's
Health & Safety performance and is pleased to note the progress made during the
year.
Results and Dividend
Group turnover from ongoing operations for the year ended 30 September 2006 was
341.7m (2005: 330.1m) and profit before tax was 4.6m (2005: 1.2m). Earnings
per share were 10.00p (2005: 3.46p). The Group's net cash balance, exclusive of
a specific development loan of 9.8m, at 30 September was 19.4m (2005: 13.6m).
Net assets have increased to 5.3m from 4.8m after the impact of incorporating
a 2.8m net pension scheme deficit.
The Board is declaring a final dividend of 0.8p per share, which will be paid on
26 February 2007 to shareholders on the register as at 26 January 2007. This
will result in a dividend of 1.2p per share for the full year (2005: 0.2p),
reflecting the Group's progressive dividend policy and the Board's confidence in
the Group's future performance.
Acquisition
During the year the Group acquired PPS Electrical Limited, an electrical
contractor specialising in asset support for the nuclear sector, for 664,000 in
cash. PPS has been successfully integrated into Shepley Engineers and is
trading in line with expectations.
Pension Scheme
In line with many other UK companies, the Directors, in calculating the Group's
pension position, have adopted mortality tables which now reflect the
expectation of a longer lifespan for pension fund members. As a result, the
Directors have recognised a pension deficit of 2.8m on the Group balance sheet,
net of deferred tax, compared to a surplus of 1.6m at 30 September 2005.
Board Changes
On 1 May 2006, John Samuel FCA joined the Board as Group Finance Director and
Philip Underwood stepped down from the Board to concentrate on running VHE
Construction and Shepley Engineers. On 1 October 2006, John Bishop FCA joined
as non-executive director. John Bishop has extensive experience in the
construction industry and over 30 years PLC experience at main board level. On
31 October 2006, Arnold Wagner OBE stepped down from the Board to concentrate on
his executive responsibilities at Smiths Group plc.
Outlook
The positive actions taken by the new management team augur well for the future,
and the Board is confident of making further progress in both profitability and
cash generation in the new financial year.

If you compare the Price to sales to companies such as Morgan Sindall or Balfour Beatty, you can see this share has the potential to grow its' profits and hence its' share price significantly, as sentiment towards it improves imo. No more shocks though!!

Thanks for the info, will look into tax credit tomorrow.
spitfire43
- 30 Nov 2006 08:14
- 57 of 200
Without tax credit EPS would have been 7.74p still very good.
If Renew increased Turnover next year by 10% to 375m and increased margins from 1.4% to 2% it would make 6m profit and this after I have deducted a 1.5m tax charge a bit on the high side I know. This still gives a 10p EPS after tax.
I don't think I'm being to optimistic but there seems to be such a scope for increasing the profit margins, the upside could be very large.
Below is a statement from Chief Exec Brian May about Margins.
The objective of our Specialist Building activities is to continue to generate reliable returns whilst focusing on margin improvement and cash generation.

Confident outlook at Renew Holdings
MoneyAM
Renew Holdings said its Q1 trading has been satisfactory and that it remains 'confident' of reporting increased profitability in the first half of the year in line with expectations.
The specialist construction services firm said its current firm order book is 202.5m, more than two thirds of which is either negotiated or from framework agreements.
The company said it has completed the sale of the UK development project, Transpennine 200, and added it now has no bank borrowings and has a cash balance of about 20m.
Renew Holdings will report its interim results on May 22nd.
Lots of lovely lolly.

See below
Ahead of its interim results for the half year ended 31 March 2007, which will
be reported on Tuesday 22 May 2007, Renew is providing the following update on
trading.
As reported at the time of the AGM on 24 January 2007, the Group's strategy of
focusing on specialist markets is securing a higher quality of work. The Board
is pleased to announce that this positive progress has continued throughout the
first half.
The Group's Specialist Engineering activities have seen better organic growth
than expected with margins maintained at target levels. The Specialist Building

Hi ST, your post promped me to have another look at the accounts.
As you say creditors figure is a little heady but all in all it is covered by debtors cash and other assets.
The key here is the Cash Flow report and you will see that the company are generating cash with a net cash inflow of circa 10 million plus, interest figure is also positive.
One could argue that it would be nicer to have more tangible than intangibles but lets not forget this is a company that as gone through a large restructuring.
I guess we will get more up to minute details when results are next due.
The forward P/E to end of sept 2007 is only circa of 10
and year after 8.8.
Price to book ratio being just over 11 which reflects the nature of the assets.
spitfire43

As I mentioned before, there must be something behind Fridays sp rise. Now for some speculation. Could the reason be that the market believes Renew are to bid for a company in the nuclear decommissioning sector like International Nuclear Solutions, but a smaller player. Renew do have cash of 20m.
Or more likely could another company be positioning to launch a takeover for Renew, they would be very appealing owning as they do Shepley and West Cumbrian, who are potentially the largest electrical and mecanical contractor on site at Sellafield.
I know this is all speculation, but you don't have what I believe to be the largest one day rise in sp in it's recent history for no reason. Whatever happens the company are still looking very good value.

Heres something to think about, I have had a little play with the forecast figures and have come up with my own forecasts. In the trading update they state they are securing higher margin work and that margins are maintained at target levels.
Margins were only 1.4% last year, so I have used a 2% margin for 2007 and 2.5% for 2008. I have only increased Turnover by a modest 5%, see forecast below.
May 2007 Interims = T/O 170m - PBIT 3.4m - EPS 5.6p
Nov 2007 Finals = T/O 358.7m - PBIT 7.2m - EPS 11.96p
Nov 2008 Finals = T/O 375.9m - PBIT 10.7m - EPS 17.78p
All comments welcome.

It's interesting when I looked back on my thread number 144, profit and EPS forecast in April. I used a 2% profit margin for 2007, this came out as below and its good to see that the latest Brewin Dolphin forecast is so close. See Below.
My Forecast = PBIT - 7.2m and EPS - 11.96P
Brewin Dolphin = PBIT - 7.02m and EPS - 11.47p
For 2008 I only increased my profit margin to 2.5%, but as you will see below this made a large difference. But the Brewin Dolphin forecast does seem conservative at the moment. See below.
My Forecast = PBIT - 10.7m and EPS - 17.78P
Brewin Dolphin = PBIT - 8.3m and EPS - 10.71p
I would like to think we will see some more upgrades during the rest of this year.

sectors. Further information on Seymour's activities can be obtained from its
website,
www.seymourcec.co.uk
The acquisition is in line with the Group's stated strategy of developing its
Specialist Engineering activities through making complementary acquisitions.
Alongside a natural association with Renew's Land Remediation activities,
Seymour's Water capability adds a third major specialism to the Group's
Specialist Engineering business stream, which also includes Nuclear.
Three quarters of Seymour's work is generated from longer-term framework
agreements and negotiated contracts, including the benefit of a 10 million per
annum framework agreement with Northumbrian Water Limited, with whom Seymour has
worked for over 20 years. Seymour's expected margins are in line with the
Group's target margins for its Specialist Engineering activities. The
acquisition is expected to enhance Renew's earnings per share in the year ending
30 September 2008. Seymour's management, who did not own a material percentage
of Holdings, is remaining with the company following acquisition.
Seymour's turnover for the financial year ended 30 June 2007 was 20.7 million
with an operating profit of 0.7 million. At the date of acquisition, Seymour
had tangible net assets of approximately 2.1 million including a net cash
balance of 0.9 million and an order book of signed contracts of 13.8 million.
Brian May, Chief Executive of Renew, commented:
'Seymour is an excellent business with a highly experienced workforce and
management team. It provides a very good fit with Renew, both operationally and
culturally, based on quality of service and developing long term relationships
with key customers. It has a proven track record of delivering projects to a
high standard, safely, on time, within budget and with a high degree of
innovation. This is an important step forward in the expansion of our higher
margin Specialist Engineering activities, which now make up more than 25% of
Renew's turnover.
The Group's existing business continues to trade in line with expectations and
we expect to provide further information before the end of our financial year.'

Good to see them spend some of that cash, earnings enhancing next year, shrewd diversication imo, and on the face of it it seems they have got them quite cheaply.
Trading in line with management expectations to boot.
All in all, good news.

The Board confirms that good progress has been made in the Group's Specialist
Engineering and Specialist Building activities during the second half of the
year. Trading has been satisfactory, and the Board believes that this will
result in a profit before taxation for the year, of not less than 7.0 million.
Furthermore, the Board is pleased with the integration of Seymour (Civil
Engineering Contractors) Limited, the water engineering services provider
acquired on 26 July, into the Group's existing Specialist Engineering
activities.
Renew's annual results will be announced on Tuesday 27 November 2007.

sp down 3.75 to 105 today on continued selling pressure, drifted down from a high of 120 a few months back. With finals due 28th November I'm hopeful this will stop the rot, still holding most of my original shares and shouldn't be stop/lossed out before results.
This will probably prove to be a good buying oppotunity, but I never average down, have learnt my lesson in the past.

Renew has suffered with all the other small caps, and also being to an extent a cyclical company hasn't helped. I'm out of most small caps at moment, including this one, but I will be looking to go back in at bottom of this downturn, maybe 12 to 18 months. Renew are stuffed full of cash 25m, and still trading well.
See todays trading update below.
Renew Holdings PLC said its first-quarter trading has been satisfactory but it remains confident of reporting full-year results that are in line with market expectations.
The specialist construction company said its order book at Dec 31 stood at 261 mln stg.
Renew said it is continuing to pursue suitable acquisitions to add to its specialist engineering business.
The company said it will announce its interim results on May 20.

Time to look at an old favourite again.
I have gone back in again after noticing something very interesting in January, I had been holding fire since then, in the hope of some price weakness which has now happened. The reason is a fair chance of a takeover. Now I have taken a position see below.
5th November 2008 - The Times reports speculation in the city of potental bid, the price increased to 65p then drifted down to mid 40s.
7th January 2009 - I came across an RNS statement, saying that Onet Group (Leading nuclear specialist in France) had brought Gravatom (British based nuclear engineering firm) for undisclosed amount.
7th January 2009 -
Renew CEO Brian May buys 100,000 @ 46.5p, now holds 255,000.
Renew FD John Samual buys 50,000 @46.5p, now holds 180.000.
In context of there holding these were significant purchases, and by buying on the same day as the Gravatom takeover announcement, I'm sure they think there is a good chance of a takeover of Renew, and would be receptive to one. The two Directors haven't had any return yet on these purchases, but seem prepared to wait.
I have seen no comment on the above news, and the link between them, maybe it just slipped through the net. But I'm sure they are linked.............. DYOR..........

MIDAS SHARE TIPS: Change of focus brings 95% profit boom at engineer RenewBy Joanne Hart
PUBLISHED: 22:08, 16 June 2012 | UPDATED: 10:35, 18 June 2012
..Maintenance work might not be glamorous, but in times of austerity a business whose work comes in regardless of economic conditions stands out from the crowd.
Misunderstood Renew Holdings is widely associated with its 200-year history in construction, but this is misguided as the company is focused on essential maintenance work.
It should also benefit as customers cut back on capital spending and instead look after existing infrastructure for longer.
In the swim: Renew builds indoor pools at top homes
Last month, determined chief executive Brian May, who took the helm in 2005, announced a 95 per cent surge in underlying pre-tax profits to £4.4million for the six months to March 31 and a 40 per cent increase in the engineering services order book to a record £229million.
The company knows these orders will come in over the coming months and its confidence in the future was highlighted by a five per cent rise in the interim dividend to 1.05p, the first half-year increase since 2008.
More...MIDAS UPDATE: Shares rise 61% since our tip at confident RPC
FUND FOCUS: Continental optimism despite the euro crisis
May is ambitious for Renew and has set a number of targets for the next two years. He has a clear strategy for growth and the shares are almost certain to respond.
First, he wants to increase turnover from £350million to £500million by 2014 through organic growth and acquisitions. Second, he wants to raise profit margins from 2.5 per cent to more than three per cent. And third, he wants to increase Renew’s focus on engineering services.
In 2005, this accounted for 15 per cent of group turnover. Today it accounts for 60 per cent and May intends to boost that to 75 per cent by 2014.
Determined: Renew's chief executive Brian May
Originally known as YJ Lovell, the company, based in Aberford, West Yorkshire, spent most of the past 200 years in construction, with engineering playing second fiddle.
When May joined and changed the name to Renew, he set out a plan to reduce its dependence on building and increase its engineering presence. A number of strategic acquisitions took place and non-core, unprofitable divisions were sold.
Today the company is firmly focused on two solid sectors – specialist building and engineering, particularly the provision of essential maintenance work.
On the building side, Renew has two arms. It is a leading social housing contractor in London and the South-East and, at the other end of the spectrum, a specialist in complex residential building work for multi-million pound houses and flats in central London.
Projects include indoor pools and private underground car parks, each requiring top engineering skills as customer expectations are high and neighbours will not put up with too much disruption.
Renew’s technical expertise comes into its own not just in the London property market but in its engineering services business, which covers three main sectors – environmental, infrastructure and energy.
Clients include Sellafield nuclear power station, Network Rail, Northumbrian Water and London Underground. In each case, Renew is responsible for repairs that simply have to be done, either for regulatory reasons or to keep infrastructure up and running.
With Network Rail, for example, it covers every aspect of maintenance except repairing the tracks, from mending bridges and fixing tunnels to removing foliage.
At Sellafield, the group carries out specialised maintenance and decommissioning work, often involving extremely hazardous waste. It also cleans contaminated land for the Environment Agency and it helps to maintain wind farms and power stations for energy companies, such as EDF and SSE.
Engineering contracts tend to last a long time so the company’s prospects can be more easily monitored and the business is generally more profitable than building, so May’s strategy makes sense.
Midas verdict: Many brokers still associate Renew with the construction sector, so it is undervalued by the market. But this should change as May pushes ahead with his growth strategy. At 75p, the shares are a buy

lignum 27 Nov'12 - 10:07 - 4804 of 4813 0 0
WJCCGHCC - there's only small (1.4m) outflow on working capital but I agree there are some huge working capital balances particularly around construction contracts where we are dependent on the company's internal controls (and auditors review).
In particular I see Note 13 to the 2011 accounts which shows a net receivable of 68.8m on construction contracts representing 3.25Bn of work done to date less 3.18Bn of billings to date under contracts. With total annual revenues of 337m (including shorter term specialist building revenues) this suggests that most of the revenues accrue under contracts which have run for more than 10 years. This gives me comfort that (i) the customer must be happy with RNWH as supplier (ii) the processes for controlling, reviewing and auditing these contracts must be well established.
Rationalising the construction contracts in progress balance suggests they are carrying around 90 days of unpaid work but this is offset by accrued income in creditors. Both debtors and creditors reduced by around 10m in 2012 so presumably they have settled up some contracts and offset cash received in advance against construction contract work completed - we'll need to see the full R&A to get the details.

Brought in here this morning. Have been watching these for years now, since I first held in appx 2006.
Results were very strong imo. I like to use the EPS figure of 11.9p, this doss exclude the loss on discontinued business, but includes amortisation of intangibles. I think this figure gives true reflection on how they really performed, and gives a good idea to how brokers should increase their estimates.
Pleased to see net debt continues to fall, and net margins continue to rise. They are 2.1% now, which may sound on the low side (nature of business) but the highest level achieved since 2006.

"We are materially undervalued," said Brian May of Renew (RNWH). Of course, as chief executive of the engineering services group, he's expected to say that. But in this instance he has a strong case. Following a major reorganisation of the business from construction to engineering services, Renew announced a 22 per cent rise in underlying pre-tax profits to a record £10m, falling debt levels and a rising dividend. Moreover, broker N+1 Singer has raised current year adjusted pre-tax profit estimates from £9.9m £10.3m, giving EPS a 11 per cent boost to 13.3p.
Last year's acquisition of Amco has accelerated the shift of Renew's business and the engineering services division reported adjusted operating profits up £2.1m to £9.6m, on a 24 per cent rise in revenues to £214m. The £15m loan taken on to fund that deal is also quickly being paid back and net debt was cut from £6.8m to £5.5m.
The outlook is good as well. Maintenance and decommissioning work at Britain's ageing nuclear sites such as Sellafield was behind a 50 per cent-plus surge in the energy order book, which secures all that division's revenue for the year ahead. Spending is also being increased on maintaining Britain's rail network, which boosted Renew's infrastructure order book by 23 per cent to £74m. The specialist building business delivered double-digit operating profit growth on much improved margins as the unit withdrew from public sector building work in the north of England.

Numis: Renew Holdings (Buy, TP: 110p) Initiation of coverage
We initiate coverage of Renew on the back of a good set of full year results, which is testament to the success of the model to date and also what we see as the attractive outlook the company faces. We also outline a target price of 110p which offers good upside in the share price - even though at this target price Renew would only trade in line with new-build companies in the built environment (where conditions are presently more challenging), and therefore still a discount to other built environment related services companies. We initiate with a Buy recommendation.
• Full year PBT of £10m to September 2012 was some 22% ahead of last year and above current year consensus estimates of £9.5m. We publish estimates here for the first time as we initiate on Renew.
• The strong improvement in EBIT (+30%) and PBT was in part due to the benefit of the Amco acquisition. We believe that organic growth for the Engineering Services - as the major driver of the group - was +4% last year and we expect this to be sustainable in the current year, notably as Energy and Rail showed strong growth over the year. Indeed, the Engineering Services orderbook rose 31% in the year with the key factor being the nuclear orderbook which increased 51% and accounts for 46% of the divisional orderbook.
• Renew's focus is into providing maintenance and renewal services into low discretionary areas where opex needs to increase over time - energy/nuclear, environmental/water and infrastructure/rail as the major areas. Moreover the group provides high technical services where procurement routes are adapting. This should lead to sustainable organic growth, which with margin mix benefits gives the group a resilient growth profile relative to other companies in the built environment universe.
• In our view this provides a major opportunity as Renew is currently valued at a P/E discount to UK building services companies, and even to construction companies with higher new-build exposure where the current outlook is clearly challenging. This seems harsh given that Renew is clearly demonstrating both revenue growth and margin gains as its business model takes effect. Our target price of 110p is based on a 2013E P/E of 8.0x, which is not demanding given that some two-thirds of group exposure is into non-discretionary maintenance work where we believe growth is underpinned.

AGM Statement
Renew (AIM: RNWH), the Engineering Services Group supporting UK infrastructure, will hold its Annual General Meeting at 11am today. Roy Harrison OBE, Chairman of Renew, will open the meeting with the following remarks:
"Trading for the first quarter of the year has been strong and well ahead of the comparative position last year. The Board expects this to continue through the second quarter of the financial year and, as a result, that the results for the year ending 30 September 2014 to be much more evenly weighted between first and second half than hitherto.
In Specialist Engineering, a strong performance has been seen in all markets but particularly so in Infrastructure where our Rail business has been experiencing record levels of activity. In the Environmental market, Lewis, the water subsidiary based near Cardiff which was acquired in August 2013, is performing ahead of expectations, as is Seymour, our water business in the North East. In Energy, revenue in Nuclear has also been at record levels.
In Specialist Building, our businesses in High Quality Residential and New Build Affordable Housing have both performed in line with expectations and potential future work lists continue to offer excellent opportunities.
The Group order book at 31 December 2013 has strengthened by 27% to £433m (31 Dec 2012: £340m). The Engineering Services order book stood at £306m (31 Dec 2012: £245m), an increase of 25% over the comparative position last year.
Reflecting the profitable trading, cash generation in the first quarter has also been strong. The Group's net cash position together with its strong order book enables the Board to look forward with confidence to further profitable growth.
The Board expects to give further guidance in its pre-close announcement at the end of March 2014 prior to the announcement of the interim results on Tuesday 20 May 2014."
