Summerset CEO Scott Scoullar said the company had made a good start to the year, in an uncertain operating environment, with the half year result reflecting strong sales momentum, disciplined capital management and a continued focus on strengthening cash generation.
“We’re proud to have delivered higher first half sales on last year in this challenging market. At the same time we’ve also continued to bring new homes to market in New Zealand and Australia, and taken deliberate steps to manage development spend, strengthen cash generation and reduce net debt over the next 18 months,” Mr Scoullar said.
IFRS net profit after tax increased to $171.4 million (up 92%) and cash flow from existing operations (CFEO) was up significantly 291% to $31.0m as the company focused on strengthening its cash generation over the medium term. Underlying profit for the half was $103.4m, down 3% on the same period last year reflecting a change in the mix of homes Summerset is selling currently.
