Chief Executive's Review
Renew is a leading provider of engineering support services to
critical UK infrastructure. Working in the regulated Energy,
Environmental and Infrastructure markets, we have a wide range of
integrated engineering capabilities and specialist knowledge of
these markets, enabling our delivery of ongoing maintenance and
renewals to support the day-to-day operation of these key
infrastructure assets around the UK.
We are focused on engineering programmes funded by
non-discretionary operating budgets. These programmes are
underpinned by long-term framework agreements, providing visibility
of committed funding. We have established strong, lasting
relationships with key customers through our reputation for
reliability and responsiveness, delivered by our highly skilled,
directly employed workforce.
Group Results
The Group has seen record trading in the period, in part
reflecting the contribution of QTS which was acquired in May 2018
and is now fully integrated. Adjusted(1) operating profit increased
39% to GBP18.4m (2018: GBP13.2m) on revenue of GBP301.0m (2018:
GBP262.2m). Adjusted(1) operating margin, increased to 6.1% (2018:
5.0%). Adjusted(1) earnings per share was 19.2p (2018: 16.7p).
Statutory profit before income tax was GBP14.5m (2018:
GBP2.4m).
In line with the Board's progressive dividend policy, the
interim dividend will increase by 15% to 3.83p (2018: 3.33p) per
share which will be paid on 12 July 2019 to shareholders on the
register at 7 June 2019. The ex-dividend date will be 6 June
2019.
The Group's order book at 31 March 2019 was GBP580m (September
2018: GBP558m) and continues to be underpinned by a solid
foundation of long-term frameworks, including significant new
awards during the first half of the year.
At 31 March 2019, the Group had net debt of GBP17.2m which is
GBP4.2m lower than at the previous year end, evidencing the Group's
cash generation and our conservative approach to gearing.
Engineering Services
Engineering Services is the key driver of growth for the Group,
and accounts for over 90% of revenue and over 95% of operating
profit. Engineering Services revenue grew 25% to GBP281.6m (2018:
GBP226.1m) with adjusted(1) operating profit increasing by 48% to
GBP19.1m (2018: GBP12.9m) with an improved operating margin of 6.8%
(2018: 5.7%). The excellent revenue performance in Engineering
Services was a reflection of the impact of QTS as well as strong
momentum at the end of the rail Control Period 5 ("CP5") which
contributed toward organic growth of 8%. At 31 March 2019, the
Engineering Services order book grew to GBP531m (September 2018:
GBP511m).
Energy
We support the day-to-day operation, decommissioning and
maintenance of assets in the nuclear, thermal, and renewable energy
markets.
Working on UK sites that command approximately 90% of the
Nuclear Decommissioning Authority's c.GBP3bn annual expenditure(2)
, we provide a range of long-term multidisciplinary engineering
services. The largest of these facilities is the Sellafield nuclear
site in Cumbria, where we remain the largest mechanical and
electrical contractor. We work on programmes associated with
decontamination, decommissioning and waste management through
long-term frameworks including the ten-year Decommissioning
Delivery Partnership programme, SR&DP Asset Care, Magnox Swarf
Storage Silo, Bulk Sludge Retrieval, Bundling Spares and the Tanks
and Vessels Frameworks. Our involvement on these critical
workstreams positions us well for emerging opportunities in
Sellafield's major new programmes.
For BAE Systems in Barrow-in-Furness, there has been an
increasing demand for our engineering support to the nuclear
submarine programme and the major redevelopment and upgrade of this
facility. We continue to be engaged by Westinghouse at Springfields
& Sizewell 'B', Low Level Waste Repository and across Magnox
where we deliver mechanical, electrical & instrumentation and
decommissioning packages.
In the period we have grown our nuclear client base securing our
first orders for work at the new nuclear Hinkley Point 'C'
facility. This involves the supply of high-integrity manufactured
components from our long established specialist nuclear
manufacturing facilities, positioning us strongly for future major
opportunities. We have also been appointed to a major
decommissioning services framework for new client Dounreay Site
Restoration Limited for a term of up to seven years.
We operate at a number of the UK's thermal power stations where
our embedded teams continue to deliver long-term engineering
maintenance services. During the period we have seen increasing
opportunities at the Drax Power Station where we operate on a
four-year electrical maintenance framework.
Environmental
We support a wide range of water infrastructure assets including
those across the clean and waste water networks as well as
undertaking flood alleviation and coastal protection schemes.
Dwr Cymru Welsh Water ("Welsh Water") plans to increase spending
on Asset Management Period 7 (2020-2025) ("AMP7") by c.15% to
GBP2.3bn(3) compared to AMP6 with improvements focusing on
environmental protection and service resilience. Our existing
frameworks with Welsh Water include the Pressurised Pipelines
Framework, Major Civils Framework and the Capital Delivery Alliance
Civils contracts. In addition to ongoing maintenance and renewals
tasks across the network, we have seen increasing demand for our
emergency reactive works following a number of major events on the
water network. We continue to develop our capabilities in dam
safety with work on major projects at Usk, Talybont and Llanishen
ongoing in the period.
Wessex Water plans a record investment of GBP1.4bn(4) over the
AMP7 period focused on delivering improvements to clean water and
sewerage systems. We continue to work closely with Wessex Water on
the current AMP6 Civils & EMI Delivery Partners Framework.
For Bristol Water, we have completed a number of schemes in the
period including support to their mains rehabilitation
programme.
The Environment Agency ("EA") currently spend c.GBP430m on flood
and coastal defences annually, however it estimates that an average
annual investment of c.GBP1bn will be necessary up to 2065 to
sufficiently mitigate flooding risk(5) . The Group continues to
strengthen its relationship with the EA, securing the award of a
further framework on the Flood and Coastal Risk Management ("FCRM")
programme in the South East region. This framework now aligns with
our current frameworks in the North, Central and South West
Regions, which have the ability to run for the next four years. The
Group secured a further extension to the EA's Northern Mechanical,
Electrical, Instrumentation, Control, and Automation ("MEICA")
framework to March 2020.
During the period we were awarded a Sluice Gate Renewals
Framework for new client Peel Ports. Our expertise in the
management of waterway assets will see us deliver this
refurbishment programme over the three-year term.
In land remediation, we were awarded further projects for
Harworth Estates and we continue to work on frameworks for SGN and
National Grid to remediate the sites of former gas works.
We have seen increasing restoration activity associated with the
Palace of Westminster where work continues on the Cast Iron Roof
Restoration Framework and structural repair works to the Elizabeth
Tower. Our involvement with a number of phases of work at this
UNESCO World Heritage site positions us well for major long-term
refurbishment programmes.
Infrastructure
As a major provider of infrastructure services to Network Rail,
we deliver a wide range of multidisciplinary maintenance and
renewals activities alongside an emergency support provision across
the national UK's rail network.
The Government remains committed to the UK rail network with
Network Rail spending GBP48bn(6) over the current five-year funding
cycle, Control Period 6 ("CP6"). CP6 will see a c.25% increase in
spending on operations, maintenance, support, and renewals
activities compared to CP5 with an emphasis on delivering an
enhanced experience for passengers(6) . Our expanded range of
complementary rail capabilities and national delivery provide the
Group with greater opportunities within this rail investment
cycle.
Network Rail recently announced a significant restructure and
further devolution with the rail network managed via 5 regions and
13 routes. Operating nationally across all 13 Network Rail routes,
our six-year maintenance frameworks support critical assets on the
network including bridges, tunnels, viaducts and major embankments.
We directly deliver our services which include civils asset
management, fencing, devegetation, drainage and signalling.
Frameworks renewed in the period include our five-year drainage
frameworks and our national eight-year Road Rail Vehicle ("RRV")
framework.
In the period we successfully secured all the CP6 renewals
frameworks that we tendered for, maintaining our positions from
CP5. This includes the five-year Geotechnical & Earthworks
framework and the five-year Multidisciplinary Renewals Framework in
the Scotland North East region. In addition, the Group continues to
operate on the new national Station Information and Surveillance
Services and Telecommunications Renewals frameworks.
Working for London Underground, the Group delivered major depot
refurbishment schemes in the period as well as specialist
electrical, plant and power schemes through five framework
agreements. We have also been awarded the first of five schemes on
London Underground's Depot Control System Programme.
Operating as a strategic partner to SPL Powerlines on the
Midland Mainline Electrification Programme we have seen our scope
grow as the scheme moves into its second phase.
In wireless telecoms, investment in 4G continues to provide good
momentum. We continue to see a significant increase in work through
Telefonica's frameworks in the North and London. In addition to
infrastructure enhancements, we also delivered emergency reactive
works for our clients across a wide portfolio of sites. Work is
progressing well on the national Emergency Services Network
programme and for BT link.
In the period we were also appointed to our first 5G related
programme, an area where we see long-term opportunities on the next
phase of mobile communications technologies.
Specialist Building
We remain focused on the High Quality Residential market in
London and the Home Counties where we specialise in major
structural engineering works. In the period, the Group was awarded
a number of contracts for repeat clients in the science sector
where we continue to be selective and have a long-established track
record.
Revenue reduced to GBP19.4m (2018: GBP35.3m) in line with
Group's expectations and continued focus on contract selectivity
and risk management. Operating profit was GBP0.3m (2018: GBP0.9m),
with an operating margin of 1.5% (2018: 2.5%). In Specialist
Building, the order book was GBP49m (September 2018: GBP48m).
Board Changes
On the 8 February 2019, Renew was pleased to announce the
appointment of Shatish Dasani as a Non-Executive Director and
Chairman of the Audit Committee succeeding John Bishop who retired
from the Board at the same time. Shatish is a Chartered Accountant
with over 20 years' experience in senior public company finance
roles across various sectors including building materials, advanced
electronics, general industrial and business services.
Outlook
Renew continues to focus on providing engineering support
services to the UK's critical Energy, Environmental and
Infrastructure markets. The Group has a growing customer base and
holds strong positions in its chosen markets, which provides good
visibility of long-term opportunities. These regulated markets
benefit from non-discretionary maintenance and renewal programmes
and, as such, investment is unlikely to be affected by Brexit.
The Group's appointment to a number of key Network Rail CP6
frameworks in the period demonstrates the strength of the Group's
position within the UK Rail market and provides significant
opportunity for organic growth. It remains the Group's strategy to
grow its Engineering Services business both organically and through
selective, earnings enhancing acquisitions.
The Board is confident that the Group's full year results will
be in-line with its expectations and that it will continue to
deliver on the established strategic objectives.

** The prior year comparatives have been restated to be
consistent with the reclassification of a discontinued business in
the audited accounts for the year ended 30 September 2018.
Notes to the condensed consolidated accounts
1. Basis of preparation
(a) The condensed consolidated interim financial report for the
six months ended 31 March 2019 and the equivalent period in 2018
has not been audited or reviewed by the Group's auditor. It does
not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of Section 435
of the Companies Act 2006. It has been prepared under the
historical cost convention and on a going concern basis in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union. The report does not
comply with IAS34 "Interim Financial Reporting", which is not
currently required to be applied for AIM companies and it was
approved by the Directors on 21 May 2019.
(b) The accounts for the year ended 30 September 2018 were
prepared under IFRS and have been delivered to the Registrar of
Companies. The report of the auditor on those accounts was
unqualified, did not contain an emphasis of matter paragraph and
did not contain any statement under Section 498(2) or (3) of the
Companies Act 2006. In this report, the comparative figures for the
year ended 30 September 2018 have been audited. The comparative
figures for the period ended 31 March 2018 are unaudited.
(c) For the year ending 30 September 2019, 2 new accounting
standards IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from
Contracts with Customers, which have been adopted by the EU,
applied and have been implemented for the condensed consolidated
interim financial report. The accounting policies adopted in the
preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial report
are consistent with those adopted in the Group's accounts for the
year ended 30 September 2018 except for the impact of IFRS 15. The
adoption of IFRS 9 from 1 October 2018 did not result in
adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
The Group has no hedging transactions.
IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining
whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaces IAS
11 Construction contracts and related interpretations. IFRS 15
introduces new concepts for revenue and cost recognition. Unlike
IAS 11 there is no automatic right to recognise revenue on a
progressive basis for construction contracts. Progressive revenue
recognition is only permitted where the contractual rights and
obligations satisfy certain criteria. The Group's revenue qualifies
to be recognised over time, and the series of distinct performance
obligations carried out under framework agreements has resulted in
no change to revenue recognition. The Group has adopted IFRS 15
using the input method with the effect of applying this standard
recognised at the date of initial application (1 October 2018). As
noted above, IFRS 15 has had no impact on the timing of revenue
recognition recognised by the Group, and so the comparative figures
in the financial statements are unchanged as a consequence of the
transition to the new standard.
(d) The principal risks and uncertainties affecting the Group
are unchanged from those set out in the Group's accounts for the
year ended 30 September 2018. The Directors have reviewed financial
forecasts and are satisfied that the Group has adequate resources
to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
Accordingly, the Group continues to adopt the going concern basis
in preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial
report.
This condensed consolidated interim financial report is being
sent to all shareholders and is also available upon request from
the Company Secretary, Renew Holdings plc, 3175 Century Way, Thorpe
Park, Leeds, LS15 8ZB, or via the website
www.renewholdings.com.
