Dated 16 August 2024

Moat today announces its consolidated audited financial results for 2023/24, highlighting the highest growth of homes under management achieved and increased investment in both existing and new homes, despite a challenging environment.

Moat reported a turnover of £154m (2022/23: £160m). The core social housing lettings turnover grew by £12.6m, 10.3% increase; while turnover from open market sales reduced to £2m (2022/23: £18m) as all completed market sales homes were sold. There are no planned market sales until 2026. The operating surplus from social housing lettings lowered to £37m (2022/23: £42m), largely due to higher spending on repairs driven by increased volume and costs, as well as investment in skills and capacity. Lower staircasing activity from existing shared owners and higher interest costs resulted in a total surplus of £21m (2022/23: £46m). Moat has an A2 stable rating from Moody's.

2023/24 was significant year of investment for Moat. We invested £51m (2023: £31m) in existing homes through repairs, maintenance, and replacements, alongside £159m (2023: £82m) in building new homes and acquiring 603 homes from another RP.   

A total of 354 new homes (2022/23: 459) were completed - 352 of which were for rented (67%) and low-cost home ownership (32%). We have 1,704 (2022/23: 1,938) new homes in the pipeline.
