Credit rating downgrade to A (negative outlook)
A key objective of LHP is to ensure the quality of homes for our
tenants is above the Decent Homes Standard and to undertake
improvements at the earliest opportunity to support our commitment
to tenant satisfaction and the quality of the homes we provide. We
continue to invest in upgrading our homes including the catch up of
works delayed because of the impacts of the pandemic lockdown in
2020; our programme to do this is regularly reviewed and refined.
Our future spend also includes meeting the government target for
this sector for all properties to be EPC C by 2030. The impact of
investment in our stock has been to reduce EBITDA MRI over the next
few years before trending upwards once more. We remain focused on
ensuring strong viability of our financial plan and profitability
metrics, balanced with our obligations to our tenants. We are
committed to carrying out works as efficiently as possible, with a
strong focus on cost and value for money, to limit the risk of cost
rises and any potential deterioration on financials. The level of
uncommitted spend provides flexibility to reduce development spend
if necessary. Our conservative view towards financial management is
reflected on our core focus on social housing, with less than 5% of
revenue from shared ownership sales. We continue to see high demand
for social housing in our areas of operation. Our recent treasury
activities over the past year includes new funding and restructure
of existing facilities reducing our funding costs going
forward.
Our liquidity is supported with undrawn RCF facilities providing
strong liquidity headroom.
Half Year Results
The half year results to the end of September 2021 shows LHP
achieved Turnover target with GBP29.5m, Surplus before Tax with
GBP5.6m and its planned programme of investment in component
replacements. Rent lost through voids has continued to improve in
the first half of the year with average rent lost down from 2.3% in
Q4 2020/21 to 1.3% at the half year. Rent arrears have increased
from a low base position at the end of Q4 2020/21 and continue to
be an area of focus for us.
Board changes
During September Yvonne Lowe stepped down as a Board Director
while Nicola Ebdon took over the role of Company Secretary from Zoe
Wortley.
