31 July 2026: first-half profit before tax was about £119m on revenue of roughly £1.7bn, while management guided to 10,600-10,800 UK completions for 2026. The lower dividend policy and a £42m buyback show a shift in capital allocation; mortgage affordability, reservation trends and the 11 November trading update will be key indicators for 2027.
