Sustainability and coverage

Earnings cover: FY2025 basic EPS 17.6p vs DPS 7.86p — cover ~2.2x (c.45% payout). On continuing EPS of 15.9p, cover is ~2.0x. Coverage remains sound.
Cash flow and leverage: 2025 saw £16.1m cash used in operations (working capital outflow) and net debt increased to £108.0m (gearing 25.7%, above 10–20% target). Facilities extended to £155m with headroom; interest cover ~5x—acceptable.
Earnings resilience: PBT (statutory) £29.1m ( broadly in line with expectations) supported by record land plot sales; Home building (SBH) loss (£9.2m) a drag. Overall dividend appears supported by group earnings and liquidity, albeit with tighter cash dynamics short term.
