Galliford Try Holdings PLC on Tuesday celebrated ‘good operational progress’ as it expects to report annual pretax profit at the upper end of forecasts, despite macroeconomic challenges. The Uxbridge, England-base construction company said that it expects full year pre-exceptional profit before tax to be at the upper end of current analyst forecasts, which sit between £22.1 million and £23.3 million. Galliford Try noted a ‘strong performance across all operations’ this year, with increased revenue and pretax profit. Last financial year, which ended June 30, the firm reported pretax profit before exceptional items of £19.1 million, and revenue of £1.24 billion, up from £1.13 billion year-on-year. Looking ahead, Galliford emphasised a ‘high-quality’ order book of £3.7 billion, up from £3.4 billion a year prior, including recent major framework wins. It has also secured 92% of revenue for the new financial year, compared to 90% at the same juncture a year prior. The group expects to announce its results for the full year on September 20. It is due to pay a special dividend to shareholders of 12 pence per share, following the resolution of a long-running dispute, in October. Galliford Try shares were trading 3.4% higher at 201.63 pence each in London on Tuesday morning. Copyright 2023 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
