Estate agency franchiser M Winkworth said it would cut its annual dividend by 15% as the pandemic pressured earnings.
The company said it would pay a fourth-quarter dividend of 1.8p per share, bringing total dividends for the year to 6.6p, down from 7.8 p in 2019.
M Winkworth said its revenue in the year through December was broadly flat year-on-year, though pre-tax profit would fall.
Looking ahead, the company said it was relieved that estate agencies were to remain open for business during the current lockdown.
Fourth-quarter sales applications were up 44% year-on-year and lettings applications up 12%, giving the company 'considerable momentum' as it entered the 2021, it said.
At 9:17am: (LON:WINK) M Winkworth plc share price was 0p at 140p
