Galliford Try Posts Strong Set Of Results
Galliford Try has announced a strong set of results for the financial year to 30 June 2021.
The business has achieved a profit before tax of £11.4 million on revenues of £1.125 billion, which represents a divisional operating margin of 2%. Our exceptionally strong balance sheet has been further underlined with good cash generation, with average month-end cash through the year at £164m. Our order book has grown to £3.3bn which underpins our future performance.
This firm foundation has provided the opportunity to put in place our new strategy to 2026. Robust risk management will remain a cornerstone of the business as we set out to grow our operating margin to 3% on revenues towards £1.6bn and maintain our strong cash generation while paying sustainable dividends.
The Sustainable Growth strategy has set four new priorities: Progressive culture, Socially responsible delivery, Quality and innovation and Sustainable financial returns incorporating refreshed targets across the Group's six pillars of sustainability. This is in addition to the recent commitment by the business to reach net zero carbon across the Group’' own operations by 2030 and across all activities by 2045.
The updated strategy elevates the Group's ambitions, aligning profit with purpose, and will be driven by digitalisation, decarbonisation and social value, increasing the long-term operational and financial resilience of the organisation.
Bill Hocking, Chief Executive of Galliford Try, commented: "Over the last year, we have emerged stronger, returning to profitability and confirming our position as a leading UK construction group.
"Our commitment to robust risk management, careful contract selection and operational excellence underpins our performance and prospects. With an excellent order book and balance sheet and position in our chosen sectors, we are strongly positioned to meet the increasing demand for social and economic infrastructure in the UK.
"This secure foundation provides the basis for our Sustainable Growth strategy, which will ensure that we develop our business sustainably and profitably."
