Analysis: Sustainability and Growth

Growth trajectory: DPS up 17% to 27.5p reflects strong capital return intent, aided by higher earnings and a smaller share count from buybacks.
Coverage and cash: Very robust cover (~4.9x) and substantial liquidity with no debt make the dividend highly affordable. The cash outlay is modest relative to earnings and cash on hand.
Earnings support: FY25 profit after tax rose to £1.36m; interest income was £685k and share of JV profit £380k. The Company also received £2.5m of dividends from Campmoss, materially strengthening cash generation.
Capital allocation: Ongoing share buybacks (£0.85m) shrink the share base, supporting per-share dividend growth while preserving balance sheet strength. Proposed renewal of buyback authority signals continued flexibility.
Outlook for sustainability: Even excluding JV cash dividends, current earnings and liquidity appear more than sufficient to sustain the present DPS. However, the dividend’s strongest underpinning is the combination of JV distributions, interest income and recurring rental/management fees.
