Year End Trading Update

Strong trading with results expected to be marginally ahead of market consensus

Renew (AIM: RNWH), the leading Engineering Services Group supporting the maintenance and renewal of critical UK infrastructure,  provides the following  trading update for the financial year ended 30 September 2022.

The Group continues to successfully manage the well documented inflationary pressures and supply chain challenges in the wider economy. As such, there has been no material impact on trading, once again demonstrating the resilient and differentiated nature of Renew. As a result, the Board expects the Group to report results for the year marginally ahead of market consensus¹. The Company's balance sheet continues to be strong with net cash, at 30 September 2022, anticipated to be ahead of market consensus¹ due to lower capital expenditure and pension costs combined with higher operating profit in the period. 

The Group's Engineering Services order book remains strong and we continue to see good demand across our core markets which continue to trade well. Despite the uncertain economic outlook, the Board looks to the year ahead with confidence with the Group well positioned to continue to benefit from the UK Government's committed infrastructure spend.

¹ Company derived consensus adjusted operating profit is £54.0m and pre-IFRS 16 net cash of £8.9m.
