Genuit Group plc Trading Update
__________________________________________________________________________________
16 November 2021
Genuit Group plc ("Genuit", the "Company" or the "Group"), a
leading provider of sustainable water and climate management
solutions for the built environment, today issues an update on
trading for the four months ended 31 October 2021.
Trading update for four months ended 31 October 2021 meets
expectations
-- The Group outperformed a market where demand in the Group's
core segments of UK Residential new build, RMI and Infrastructure
continued to pull hard with Group revenue for the four months ended
31 October 2021, 31.1% higher than the equivalent period in 2019
(10.8% on a like-for-like basis) at GBP207.6m (2019:
GBP158.4m).
-- The Group has acted decisively to counter ongoing cost
inflation in the second half, and although the necessary pricing
actions have been taken, the normal lag effect means that the
operating margin for the second half of the year will be lower than
H1 2021. Margins are expected to recover in early 2022 as those lag
effects work through.
-- Our businesses continue to experience supply chain issues and
we are working hard to mitigate the impacts on performance,
particularly in our Climate and Ventilation division.
-- The Group remains highly cash generative and at 31 October 2021 net debt was GBP157.4m.
-- The Board expects profit to be in the range of analyst expectations*.
ESG
We continue to make strong progress against the ESG targets we
have communicated previously. In September, Genuit Group signed a
commitment to the Business Ambition for 1.5degC and is aligning its
carbon reduction targets with the most ambitious aim of the Paris
Climate Agreement. As part of this we have also signed up to
Science Based Targets with interim milestones.
Martin Payne, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"The Group traded robustly in the four months to the end of
October with continued strong demand from our UK Residential new
build, RMI and Infrastructure markets. We have reacted well in
managing challenging supply chain shortages and ongoing cost
inflation and I would like to take this opportunity to thank
everyone at Genuit for all their hard work and dedication so far
this year.
The medium-term fundamentals of our markets remain strong with
sustainability at the heart of everything we do. We are alert to
the ongoing macro related market risks such as continuing
supply-chain shortages and cost inflation, but with a clear
strategy built around strong environmental growth drivers and
backed up with legislation, the Group is well-positioned for the
future".
Full Year Results
Full year results for year ending 31 December 2021 will be
announced on 15 March 2022.
* Genuit compiled analyst consensus forecast range for 2021
shows EBIT of GBP92.5 - GBP95.9 million.
