"The Group has had another successful year. We have made an excellent start
to our Sustainable Growth Strategy, delivering risk managed controlled growth
while making good progress on our margin improvement target.
Our commitment to robust risk management, careful contract selection and
operational excellence continues to underpin our performance and prospects.
The Group is well capitalised and has a strong and selective order book,
focused in our chosen and proven sectors. This has enabled us to significantly
increase shareholder dividends and capital returns. With strong and
disciplined risk management we continue to manage the current market
conditions, including the inflationary pressures, and are well placed for
further progress in FY23.
With our passionate teams, strong balance sheet, market-leading sector
positions, excellent client and supplier relationships and high-quality order

SUSTAINABLE GROWTH STRATEGY
Our strategy is to deliver high-quality buildings and infrastructure, in a
socially responsible way, while also providing a sustainable return for our
shareholders.
Our strategic priorities are:
· Progressive culture, prioritising health, safety and wellbeing
and creating an inclusive workplace;
· Socially responsible delivery, adopting sustainable resourcing and
consumption practices and making a positive impact in communities;
· Quality and innovation, delivering superior buildings and
infrastructure for our clients and aligning with our supply chain; and
· Sustainable financial returns for our shareholders.
Our Sustainable Growth Strategy balances financial targets with wider
commitments and aspirations to create long term value for all our
stakeholders. In respect of climate change, we are committed to achieving
net zero carbon emissions across the Group's own operations by 2030 and across
all activities by 2045.
Our strategy targets growth in revenue and margin, which will be achieved by
increasing volumes and improving operating margins in our existing markets
within Highways, Environment and Building:
· Building operates across the UK and has proven expertise in markets
with significant future opportunities, particularly education, defence,
health, and the commercial sectors.
· Highways works with both National Highways and Local Authorities
in England.
· Environment specialises in water and wastewater services,
primarily through frameworks in England and Scotland.
· We continue to develop our Facilities Management, Investments and
co-development businesses which provide lower risk, margin enhancing, returns.
We will target further growth in complementary and adjacent markets, utilising
our balance sheet strength to deliver increased margins. This element of the
strategy has three main strands:
· Increasing our involvement in co-development of Private Rented
Sector (PRS) schemes in Building;
· Developing our Green retrofit offering within our Facilities
Management team, to meet the growing needs of our clients; and
· Increasing our capital maintenance asset optimisation
capabilities within the existing Environment sector.
Financial targets
The Group's Sustainable Growth Strategy is supported by current market
conditions and will continue to benefit from our continuing focus on risk
management. Our financial targets to 2026 are:
Objective KPI Target
Earning a sustainable return on the value we deliver. Focus on bottom line margin growth Divisional operating margin growth to
3.0%
Disciplined contract selection and sustainable revenue growth Revenue growth towards
£1.6bn
Maintain strong balance sheet Operating cash generation
Sustainable dividends Dividend cover of
2.0x
Risk management and order book
The Group's established approach to strong risk management, commercial
discipline and contract selection provides a strong platform for our strategy
to 2026 and continues to underpin our future ambitions. This approach is
reflected in the quality of our order book.
At 30 June 2022, the Group had a high-quality order book of £3.4bn (2021:
£3.3bn), of which 91% is in the public and regulated sectors and 9% is in the
private sector (2021: 91% and 9% respectively).
Frameworks provide certainty of pipeline of work with repeat clients and
established terms and conditions, and amount to 94% of our order book (2021:
87%), affording good visibility of future revenues.
Building and Infrastructure were appointed to contracts and frameworks worth
over £945m and £466m respectively during the year ended 30 June 2022.
Examples of the Group's key frameworks include the Department for Education's
school building framework (six lots); Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Capital
Works Framework, including ProCure 23; Ministry of Justice Strategic Alliance
Framework (multiple lots); hub North Scotland, hub South East Scotland, hub
South West Scotland and hub West Scotland; National Highways Delivery
Integration Partnership; and AMP7 for Northumbrian Water, Yorkshire Water,
Southern Water, Thames Water and Severn Trent Water; Southern Construction
Framework; Procure Partnerships Framework and Midlands Highways Alliance.
The Group started the new financial year with 90% of planned revenue secured
for the 2023 financial year (2021: 90%).
Dividends and capital allocation
The Board is committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet, which provides
the Group with a competitive advantage in its market and supports our growth
strategy. Our capital allocation priorities are:
· Supporting operational requirements and strategic
opportunities
A strong balance sheet is an important element in delivering the Group's
Sustainable Growth Strategy, as it provides a competitive advantage in the
market, supports the Group's disciplined approach, and provides confidence to
our clients and supply chain. We are also able to allocate capital to assist
the development of our adjacent markets, as set out above. Furthermore, and as
demonstrated by our acquisition of the water businesses of nmcn plc and MCS
Control Systems (in July 2022), a strong cash balance sheet enables the Group
to react quickly to strategic opportunities, including bolt-on acquisitions
that enhance our capabilities and increase value.
· Mitigating the effect of future market downturns
The current outlook across our markets remains encouraging and supports our
strategy, but the Group also ensures that it is prepared for any adverse
change in market conditions that may arise. Our strong balance sheet is
particularly important for the Group to continue to operate its disciplined
approach to contract selection and focus on operating margin, irrespective of
any short term economic concerns. The current inflationary pressures clearly
demonstrate the value and importance of the Group's risk management framework
and focus.
· Paying sustainable dividends to shareholders
The Board understands the importance of dividends to shareholders, and in
setting its dividend considers the Group's profitability, its strong balance
sheet, high quality order book and longer term prospects. Consistent with this
approach the Group expects dividend per share to increase in line with
earnings, with dividend cover of 2.0 times annual earnings.
We continue to assess the cash requirements of the business to ensure the
Group remains well positioned to deliver on its Sustainable Growth Strategy
and has sufficient funds to invest in the business. Given the capital
allocation priorities and requirements set out above, the Board anticipates
retaining average month-end cash and PPP assets of £175m to £250m to support
the delivery of our financial targets to 2026. For the year ended 30 June
2022, the aggregate of month-end cash and PPP assets was £221m, towards the
top of this range early in the strategy period. As previously announced, where
average month-end cash and PPP assets increase above the level required, the
Board will consider making additional returns to shareholders.
Having reviewed the Group's results and the outlook, the Directors are
recommending a final dividend of 5.8 pence per share which, subject to
approval will be paid on 9 December 2022 to shareholders on the register at 11
November 2022. Together with the interim dividend of 2.2 pence per share
paid in April, this will result in a total dividend for 2022 of 8.0 pence per
share.
Consistent with the framework set out above, the Company has announced it
intends to commence an initial share buyback programme to repurchase up to
£15 million of ordinary shares of 50 pence per share. The Board has reviewed
the strong cash performance of the last two financial years and the capital
required to support the Group's strategic targets, and considers that this is
a prudent level of additional capital to return to shareholders, whilst
continuing to prioritise a strong balance sheet and sustainable growth.
CURRENT TRADING AND OUTLOOK
The Group has delivered a strong operational and financial performance in the
year to 30 June 2022 with increased revenue, profitability and margin
growth.
We continue to see good demand across our core markets and anticipate
continued progress in the new financial year, in line with our targets.
Through our active engagement with our supply chain and disciplined approach
to risk management, bidding and careful project management we have
successfully managed and mitigated the challenges of supply shortages and
inflation without any overall impact on trading or margin.
We are encouraged by the pipeline of new opportunities across our chosen
sectors in the public, regulated and private markets together with
opportunities in complementary and adjacent markets where we have additional
opportunities through our recently acquired businesses. Looking ahead the UK's
planned investment in economic and social infrastructure supports growth in
our core markets. The Group's strong balance sheet and quality order book
mean we are well placed to meet our growth objectives for the new financial
year.
We will continue to maintain our disciplined approach to risk management and
careful contract selection whilst operating sustainably. Notwithstanding the
continued pressures around inflation and labour availability the Group is
confident in the future as we look to continue to deliver controlled growth,
increase operating margins and enhance shareholder value.
Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) commitments
Fundamental to the Group's Sustainable Growth Strategy is our belief that, for
long-term value creation, we must balance our financial performance with
delivering the priorities of all our stakeholders. Being sustainable helps us
to win work, engages our employees, benefits communities and the environment,
and makes us more efficient. This is why our sustainability commitments are an
integral part of our strategy, residing at the core of how we deliver
stakeholder value.
The six fundamental pillars of our sustainability strategy, which are mapped
to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, are set out below:
Health, safety and wellbeing
The health and safety of our people, and those who come into contact with our
operations is our number one priority, and we aspire to a target of no harm.
We were pleased to reduce our overall Accident Frequency Rate (AFR) to 0.06
(2021: 0.08) and achieve an AFR of zero across eight business units. Our Lost
Time Incident Rate remained stable at 0.26.
We take safety extremely seriously and our improved result is demonstrative of
our commitment to our safety programme Challenging Beliefs, Affecting
Behaviour which reinforces that nothing we do is so important that we cannot
take the time to do it safely, and use Lead Indicators to drive improvement in
safety culture and behaviour, for example by learning from high-potential
incidents and near misses.
The success of our approach was confirmed in our employee survey, where our
highest scoring area was health and safety, with 99% of people responding
favourably to the statement we give health and safety high priority.
Our people
To deliver our plans successfully, we need to ensure we have the right talent
supported by a great culture. Our approach to this is to retain and invest in
our existing teams, while also attracting new high calibre people as a
destination employer.
A key highlight of the year was achieving an employee advocacy score of 85%
(sector average 80%). This was also demonstrated by a stable churn rate in a
competitive market for talent.
Attracting more women into our business is key to accessing the skills we need
and promoting a more diverse culture, so, for our strategy period, we are
targeting a year-on-year increase for women as a percentage of total
employees. For the reported year, the proportion of females across Galliford
Try was 24.3% compared to 23.0% last year excluding the nmcn businesses, and
21.2% following the acquisition of nmcn water.
Early careers are the focus of many of our recruitment activities, as they
allow us to grow our own talent. Our Graduate Programme and apprenticeships
and traineeships remain popular, with 6.1% of our workforce in early careers
positions (2021: 7.2%).
Recognising the national cost of living challenge, the Board has approved a
one-off payment of circa £1.0m in the Autumn 2022 to provide additional
financial support to over 1,800 employees.
We continue to monitor our culture through our Employee Forum, chaired by the
Group's Senior Independent Director, which provides direct engagement with
individuals from across the Group and drives initiatives which help us to be
an employer of choice.
Environment and climate change
Tackling climate change is an essential sustainability priority for us as a
business as well as for many of our clients, investors, people and regulators.
Last year, we joined the UN-backed campaign Race to Zero and pledged to
achieve net zero carbon across our own operations by 2030 and all activities
by 2045 using the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
KPI FY20(1,2) FY21(1) FY22(1) Ambition
Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions (CO(2)e tonnes) 18,732 11,525 10,795 Net zero by 2030
Scope 3 carbon emissions (CO(2)e tonnes) not reported Not reported 6,040 Net zero by 2045
Waste intensity (tonnes/£100k revenue) 13.04 7.57 20.96 YoY reduction
(1)Carbon dioxide equivalent emissions are reported by calendar year and since
2014 have been externally verified to ISO 14064-1.
(2) In 2020 and prior years, the emissions associated with business use of
company cars where the employee purchased the fuel and was reimbursed through
an expenses claim have been reported under scope 3 - business travel. In 2021,
these emissions have been reported under scope 1 in order to be consistent
with the reporting of emissions from company cars where the fuel is paid for
by a corporate fuel card. To aid comparison
with earlier years, the data for 2019 (FY20) and 2020 (FY21) has been
re-stated using the methodology used for 2021.
In the year, we were pleased to drive down our scope 1 and 2 emissions by a
further 6.3% which reflects a number of ongoing initiatives including early
connections to mains electricity supply, the transition to mandating electric
and hybrid vehicles in our fleet, more energy efficient site office and
welfare cabins, and a transition to alternative fuels.
In 2021, we have for the first time been able to estimate and report on a
range of scope 3 categories, including business travel, fuel and
energy-related activities and employee commuting. This will form part of our
total scope 3 baseline against which we will set our science-based reduction
target and monitor our progress towards our 2045 net zero target. Our waste
intensity increased in the year, reflecting the project mix, with a greater
proportion of higher waste intensity projects. However, waste continues to be
an area of focus, with increased use of modern methods of construction,
especially off-site manufacture, reducing the volumes of waste produced. We
also manage our waste streams to maximise recycling and minimise waste to
landfill and have increased the proportion of waste diverted from landfill to
96.3% (2021: 94.5%).
In September 2021, we committed to providing only electric or plug-in hybrid
vehicles in our company car fleet. As at the 30 June 2022, 51% of the 1,122
vehicles in our company car fleet are electric or plug-in hybrid and the
average emissions per vehicle had reduced to 60.1g/km (2021: 77.9g/km).
We also invested in our own capabilities to support clients with their
objectives. Activities included a focus on how we design, build and maintain
low carbon infrastructure and buildings through selection of materials and
construction methodologies, operational energy consumption and, where
relevant, end-of-life decommissioning. We established a cross-disciplinary
Carbon Reduction Working Group to identify and coordinate improvement
initiatives in relation to employee carbon literacy, carbon calculation,
reporting and training.
Communities
The ability to measure the social and local economic outcomes we deliver on
our projects is now a requirement for many of our clients, especially in the
public sector.
During the year, we extended the scope of our partnership with the Social
Value Portal, a tool which is backed by the National TOMs (Themes, Outcomes
and Measures) Framework, which helps organisations measure, report and enhance
their social value. We are now able to report the social value we deliver on
our projects across the group in a consistent way. We evaluated 28 projects
completed during the year and on these projects, we delivered a combined
Social and Local Economic Value (SLEV) of £306m. 14 projects (50%) delivered
a SLEV as percentage of contract value greater than our target of 25% and we
have set our ambition for 60% of projects to exceed this threshold.
The Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) is an industry wide organisation
that strives to improve the impact of the construction industry and leave a
positive legacy through implementation of best practice in the areas of
community engagement, the environment and workforce wellbeing. Our average CCS
audit score increased in the year from 40.6 to 41.8 and remains above the
industry average of 39.0.
Clients
Our focus on delivering quality outcomes and building trusted relationships
with our clients is reflected in the fact that 94% of our order book is repeat
business (2021: 92%) and we continue to have a strong pipeline of secured work
in our chosen markets, with 90% of FY23 revenue already secured (2021: 90%).
These are important indicators demonstrating we are building trusted,
long-term relationships with our clients based on a track record of delivering
on their key priorities and are underpinned by our accreditation to the ISO
44001 Collaborative Business Relationships Standard.
Critical to these long-term relationships is our ability to support clients in
achieving their carbon reduction objectives demonstrating how together we can
meet the Government strategy for zero carbon, alongside our own net zero
commitment by 2045. To achieve this, we are deploying the latest technology
and innovation. The key tools we use across our business to reduce the carbon
footprint of the schemes we deliver for our clients include:
· Carbon literacy training for all employees in the business to
ensure we identify and maximise the carbon savings across the entire life
cycle of the project.
· Whole-life carbon tools to assess and measure the carbon
performance of components and materials to provide our clients with a clear
understanding and informed decisions to maximise the reduction in carbon.
· Digital technology to assess, capture and record decisions that
inform future projects and provide a baseline for comparing the performance of
the asset.
Supply chain
We continue to focus on developing collaborative, long-term relationships with
our supply chain partners through our Advantage through Alignment (AtA)
programme, with 60% of our core Aligned trades spend now with aligned
subcontractors.
AtA is a programme devised by our business which offers deep collaboration and
support to Aligned subcontractors. Through training and education, we align
our suppliers and subcontractors with our working practices, our values and
our vision. This includes access to our award-winning behavioural safety
programme, Challenging Beliefs, Affecting Behaviour; BIM training and access
to Continuing Professional Development.
A healthy cash flow is the lifeblood of any business and late payment of
invoices can be problematic for suppliers of goods and services. As a
signatory of the Prompt Payment Code, we have committed to paying 95% of
supply chain invoices within 60 days. We have made further improvements in how
quickly we pay our suppliers, with 98% now paid within 60 days and the average
days to pay reduced to 25 days and are also making progress against the
additional metric of paying 95% of invoices from suppliers with fewer than 50
employees within 30 days.
We continue to retain Gold status from the Supply Chain Sustainability School,
an award-winning collaboration designed to upskill its members through free
training and resources covering sustainability, off-site manufacturing, BIM,
Lean and Management.
FINANCIAL REVIEW(1)
During the year the Group delivered strong performance resulting in increased
revenue, pre-exceptional profit and operating margin. Our operating
performance, strong financial position and quality order book provide
confidence in our future performance.
Our revenue for the year was up 10% at £1,237.2m (2021: £1,124.8m),
reflecting disciplined growth in Infrastructure. As expected, Infrastructure's
revenue increased as the AMP7 programme in the water sector gathered momentum,
and this was supplemented by our acquisition of the water business of nmcn plc
(in administration) in October 2021. Of the total, Building contributed
revenue of £789.1m (2021: £789.2m), in line with 2021 as a result of some
new contract starts towards the end of the financial year moving into FY23, as
expected given the increased length of client procurement in response to
rising inflation. Infrastructure recorded revenue of £441.9m (2021:
£329.2m), including £38.6m organic growth and £74.1m from the nmcn
acquisition. PPP Investments' revenue was £6.2m (2021: £6.4m).
The Group's pre-exceptional operating profit before amortisation was £18.5m
(2021: £10.1m). Of this, Building generated profit of £18.9m (2021:
£15.9m), representing a margin of 2.4% (2021: 2.0%), and Infrastructure
generated profit of £10.8m (2021: £6.0m), representing a margin of 2.4%
(2021: 1.8%). The combined divisional operating margin of 2.4% (2021: 2.0%)
has been achieved in line with our margin improvement targets.
There was an £11.2m net loss in PPP Investments and Central Costs (2021:
£(11.8m)), with Central Costs being in line with their 2021 level.
Exceptional items of £13.7m were incurred in the period, as set out in note 5
to the financial statements. £7.7m related to the acquisition and integration
of the nmcn water businesses, acquired in October 2021. The remaining £6.0m
relates to our investment in cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
finance and commercial systems scheduled to continue into Spring 2023, part of
our investment in our digital and data capabilities, which under updated
accounting guidance is not allowed to be capitalised. There were no
exceptional items in 2021.
Pre-exceptional profit before tax for the year was £19.1m (2021: £11.4m).
Pre-exceptional profit before income tax is an alternative performance measure
and a key metric we use to monitor our performance in years with exceptional
items, such as 2022. Post-exceptional profit before tax was £5.4m (2021:
£11.4m).
The table below reconciles profit before income tax to our alternative
performance measure of pre-exceptional profit before income tax, which is a
key metric for us when monitoring performance of the business.

Profit before income tax 5.4 11.4

As previously disclosed, the Group provided services in respect of three
contracts with entities owned by a major infrastructure fund of a blue-chip
listed company. Our work on these contracts formally ceased on their
termination in August 2018. Costs were significantly impacted by client-driven
scope changes and the Group has submitted claims and variations to the value
of circa £95m in respect of these costs (2021: £95m). The Group has taken
extensive legal advice on our entitlement, and we have been successful in two
adjudications supporting the validity of the Group's position. The claim is
progressing in line with the original expected timetable. Taking into account
the requirements of IFRS 15, the Group had constrained the revenue recognised
in prior periods to the extent that it was highly probable not to result in a
significant reversal in the future. At 30 June 2022, the Group has updated its
assessed recoverability in accordance with IFRS 15. Given the progress, in
line with expectations during the year, this is unchanged. The Group has also
updated its expected credit loss provision in accordance with IFRS 9 for which
there was no material change in the required provision since the prior year
end.
The Group has no debt or defined benefit pension obligations, and at 30 June
2022 had a cash balance of £218.9m (2021: £216.2m). The average month-end
cash balance in the year was £174m (2021: £164m) and our daily minimum cash
balance was above £100m, which shows continued strong cash performance
throughout the year. Our operating cash generation in the year reflects the
strong cash performance across the business.
We are committed to pursuing a collaborative and open approach with all our
supply chain. Our performance under the Prompt Payment Code continued to
improve again, with 98% of invoices paid within 60 days in the financial year
(2021: 93%), average payment being made in 25 days (2021: 36 days).
At 30 June 2022, we had a PPP portfolio of £47.5m (2021: £49.1m), reflecting
a blended 7% discount rate (2021: 7%). This portfolio contributes to our
balance sheet strength and generated interest income of £3.9m (2021: £3.9m)
in the year.
We have modest working capital requirements. At 30 June 2022, net working
capital employed was £255.5m (30 June 2021: restated, see note 24 £237.6m),
predominantly reflecting the net contract liabilities acquired with nmcn.

(2021: £15.9m), which represents a margin of 2.4% (2021: 2.0%). Revenue is in
line with the prior year as a result of some new contract starts moving into
the current financial year reflecting increased length of client procurement
in response to rising inflation. The improved profit reflects the continuing
improving performance of projects that were added to the order book in recent
periods in line with our margin improvement targets.
Our FM business continues to complement our operations by providing
high-quality building maintenance services. We continue to grow the
capabilities of this operation, with a specific focus on decarbonising
existing buildings through retrofit and other interventions. This 'green
retrofit' capability will grow over the coming years and we plan to allocate
some additional capital to support this growth.
Building won contracts and positions on frameworks worth over £945m, (2021:
£641m). Significant appointments and wins for Building included:
· The new four-year £1.6bn LHC Public Buildings, Construction and
Infrastructure PB3 framework which covers projects across all public sector
buildings.
· A share of the £7bn Department for Education 2021 Construction
Framework.
· The £55m Galashiels Community Campus on behalf of Scottish
Borders Council and Hub South East.
· A £56m private rented sector (PRS) scheme in Milton Keynes.
· A £25m project under the Department for Education (DfE) Net
Zero Carbon in Operation (NZCIO) scheme for Greenhead College in Huddersfield.
· Five lots on the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) and Associated
Services Framework covering projects worth up to £20m across the North East,
North West, East of England and South East to drive economic growth. In
addition, the business has been appointed to Lot 3, which includes projects
above £70m in value.
· Positions on the NHS Shared Business Services (SBS) second
generation Hard FM framework, to delivery Security, Fire and Hard FM Managed
Services. Valued up to £800m by SBS and is set to run until April 2024.
Building's order book stands at £2,047m, compared to £1,920m last year
including 31% in Education, 23% in Defence and Custodial, 18% in Facilities
Management and 11% in Health.
INFRASTRUCTURE
Infrastructure carries out civil engineering projects across the UK, focused
on Highways and Environment (incorporating our activities in water, wastewater
and flood alleviation).
2022 2021
Revenue (£m) 441.9 329.2
Operating profit before amortisation (£m) 10.8 6.0
Operating profit margin (%) 2.4 1.8
Order book (£m) 1,396 1,348
Infrastructure's revenue was £441.9m (2021: £329.2m). As expected, revenue
increased due to the higher level of activity from the AMP7 programme in the
water sector. Additionally, the acquired water operations of nmcn plc (in
administration) contributed £74.1m revenue in the year. Infrastructure
generated an operating profit before amortisation of £10.8m (2021: £6.0m)
which represents a margin of 2.4% (2021: 1.8%). The improved profit
performance is in line with our expectations, and includes the benefit of new
contract frameworks.
Following the acquisition of nmcn's water businesses, in October 2021, we have
restructured our Environment business to provide enhanced service delivery
across UK operations including water, engineering, off-site build and asset
optimisation, and asset security. The acquisition has provided the Group with
additional geographic scale and increased capabilities in the water sector,
further supplemented by the acquisition of MCS Control Systems Limited in July
2022.
Infrastructure won contracts and positions on frameworks worth £466m (2021:
£590m). These included:
· Appointment to the Procure Partnerships (PP) North West Framework
valued at £1.8bn in the North West of England, in conjunction with the
Building business.
· A share of the £3.5bn Scheme Delivery Framework for National
Highways.
Infrastructure's current order book is £1,396m, compared to £1,348m last
year, including £622m in Highways and £774m in Environment.
PPP INVESTMENTS
PPP Investments delivers major building and infrastructure projects through
public-private partnerships, generating work for the wider Group in the
process.
2022 2021
Revenue (£m) 6.2 6.4
Loss from operations (£m) (0.9) (1.8)
Net interest income 3.9 3.9
Directors' valuation (£m) 47.5 49.1
PPP Investments has continued to move its focus towards co-development of
Private Rented Sector (PRS) projects. During the year its first scheme, in
Cardiff, obtained planning consent and the business is working towards
reaching financial close with an operator which will allow construction to
commence. At the year-end it was preferred bidder on two further PRS schemes
with a gross development value of c£200m and anticipates further
opportunities in the future.
At the year end, the directors' valuation of our PPP portfolio was £47.5m
(2021: £49.1m), which is the fair value included in the balance sheet
reflecting a blended discount rate of 7% (2021: 7%). The valuation compared
with a value invested of £35.7m (2021: £36.2m). There is an active secondary
market for these assets, which generated an annuity interest income of £3.9m
(2021: £3.9m) and contributes to our balance sheet strength.
BOARD
On 15 March 2022 we announced that Peter Ventress will step down as
Non-executive Chairman and leave the company with effect on 21 September 2022,
after more than seven years on the Board. As previously announced, on
Peter's departure, Alison Wood, Non-executive Director, will assume the role
of Chair of the Board and Chair of the Nomination Committee. On 26 April
2022 we announced the appointment of Sally Boyle as a Non-executive
Director. The Group intends that Sally will, following a period of 12
month's transition, assume the role of Chair of the Remuneration Committee on
the current Chair stepping down.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1 Basis of preparation
The financial information set out in this preliminary announcement does not
constitute Galliford Try Holdings plc's statutory accounts for the years ended
30 June 2022 and 31 June 2021. Statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June
2022 will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies following the Company's
Annual General Meeting. The Auditor has reported on those accounts; their
report was unqualified, did not draw attention by way of emphasis, and did not
contain a statement under Section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
Statutory accounts for the year ended 30 June 2021 have been delivered to the
Registrar of Companies. The Auditor has reported on those accounts; their
report was unqualified, did not draw attention by way of emphasis, and did not
contain a statement under Section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
Galliford Try Holdings plc (the Company) is a public limited company
incorporated, listed and domiciled in the UK, and registered under the laws of
England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 3 Frayswater Place,
Cowley, Uxbridge, UB8 2AD. The Company has its listing on the London Stock
Exchange.
The financial information contained in this results announcement has been
prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the statutory
statements for the year ended 30 June 2022. Whilst the financial information
included in this announcement has been computed in accordance with the
recognition and measurement requirements of UK-adopted International
Accounting Standards and with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, this
announcement does not itself contain sufficient disclosures to comply with
IFRS.
2 Accounting policies
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021.
3 Segmental reporting
Segmental reporting is presented in the consolidated financial statements in
respect of the Group's business segments, which are the primary basis of
segmental reporting. The business segmental reporting reflects the Group's
management and internal reporting structure. Segmental results include items
directly attributable to the segment, as well as those that can be allocated
on a reasonable basis. As the Group has no material activities outside the UK,
segment reporting is not required by geographical region.
The Chief Operating Decision-Makers (CODM) have been identified as the Group's
Chief Executive and Finance Director. The CODM review the Group's internal
reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Management
has determined the operating segments of the Group to be Building,
Infrastructure, PPP Investments and Central (primarily representing central
overheads).
The CODM assess the performance of the operating segments based on a measure
of adjusted earnings before finance costs, amortisation, exceptional items and
taxation. This measurement basis excludes the effects of non-recurring
expenditure from the operating segments, such as restructuring costs and
impairments when the impairment is the result of an isolated, non-recurring
event. Interest income and expenditure are included in the result for each
operating segment that is reviewed by the CODM. Other information provided to
them is measured in a manner consistent with that in the financial statements.

4 Revenue
Nature of revenue streams
(i) Building and Infrastructure segments
Our Construction business operates nationwide, working with clients
predominantly in the public and regulated sectors, such as health, education
and defence markets within the Building segment and road, and water markets
within the Infrastructure segment (as well as private commercial clients).
Projects include the construction of assets (with services including design
and build, construction only and refurbishment) in addition to the
maintenance, renewal, upgrading and managing of services across utility and
infrastructure assets.
Revenue stream Nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and significant
payment terms
Fixed price A number of projects within these segments are undertaken using fixed-price
contracts.
Contracts are typically accounted for as a single performance obligation. Even
when a contract (or multiple combined contracts) includes both design and
build elements, they are considered to form a single performance obligation as
the two elements are not distinct in the context of the contract, given that
each is highly dependent on the other.
The Group typically receives payments from the customer based on a contractual
schedule of value that reflects the timing and performance of service
delivery. Revenue is therefore recognised over time (the period of
construction) based on an input model (reference to costs incurred to date).
Un-invoiced amounts are presented as contract assets.
Management does not expect a financing component to exist.
Cost-reimbursable A number of projects within these segments are undertaken using
open-book/cost-reimbursable (possibly with a pain/gain share mechanism)
contracts.
Contracts are typically accounted for as a single performance obligation, with
the majority of these contracts including a build phase only.
The Group typically receives payments from the customer based on actual costs
incurred. Revenue is therefore recognised over time (the period of
construction) based on an input model (reference to costs incurred to date).
Un-invoiced amounts are presented as contract assets.
Management does not expect a financing component to exist.
Facilities management* Contracts undertaken within the Building segment that provide full life-cycle
solutions to clients, are accounted for as a single performance obligation,
with revenue recognised over time and typically on a straight-line basis.
* Facilities management represents around 5% of the total Building
segment turnover.
(ii) Investments segment
Our Investments business specialises in managing construction through to
operations for major building projects through public private partnerships and
co-development opportunities. The business leads bid consortia and arranges
finance, as well as making debt and equity investments (which are recycled).
Revenue stream Nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and significant
payment terms
PPP Investments The Group has investments in a number of PPP Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs),
delivering major building and infrastructure projects.
The business additionally provides management services to the SPVs under
Management Service Agreements (MSA). Revenue for these services is typically
recognised over time as and when the service is delivered to the customer.
Revenue for reaching project financial close (such as success fees) is
recognised at a point in time, at financial close (when control is deemed to
pass to the customer).
Disaggregation of revenue
The Group considers the split of revenue by operating segment to be the most
appropriate disaggregation. All revenue has been derived from performance
obligations settled over time.
Revenue on existing contracts, where performance obligations are unsatisfied
or partially unsatisfied at the balance sheet date, is expected to be
recognised as follows:

Any element of variable consideration is estimated at a value that is highly
probable not to result in a significant reversal in the cumulative revenue
recognised.

There were no exceptional items in the prior year. The items in respect of the
current year are as follows:
1 The Group acquired the Water business of nmcn plc (in administration) on 7
October 2021 and incurred acquisition and integration related costs of £7.7m.
This is predominantly made up of legal and professional fees, integration and
restructuring costs recognised in administrative expenses, and specific staff
costs incurred during the period of site closures following nmcn plc entering
administration that are recognised in cost of sales.
2 The Group incurred £6.0m of customisation and configuration costs
associated with the move to Oracle Fusion, a cloud-based computing
arrangement, during the period. Taking into account the IFRIC Agenda Decision
issued by the IFRS IC in March 2021, the Group has analysed the costs and
concluded that these costs should be expensed in the period. In accordance
with the Group's existing accounting policy, management considers that the
costs should be separately disclosed as exceptional because they are
significant and irregular.
An associated tax credit of £2.6m has been recognised.

1 The adjustments in respect of prior years' £0.2m (2021: £(4.5)m)
reflect changes to the estimates made in the previous years' Annual Report and
Accounts and the finalised tax computations submitted to HMRC. The June 2021
adjustment of £(4.5)m incorporates, and principally relates to, the
finalisation of certain tax estimates made following the demerger of the
Group's housebuilding divisions in January 2020.
2 The net recognition and utilisation of tax losses of £2.1m (2021:
restriction £5.8m) reflects the utilisation of £nil (2021: £1.5m) tax
losses in the year and the recognition of £2.1m (2021: restriction of
£7.3m) tax losses in line with the Group's accounting policy (note 18).
The restriction of tax losses in 2021 resulted from changes to the estimated
tax relief on historic loss-making contracts. The Group had assumed a level of
recovery on these contracts in prior years and paid the associated corporation
tax. On finalisation of the contracts, an overall loss was made, and the Group
sought to recover the associated corporation tax in the form of a refund (as
at 30 June 2020), and subsequently in the form of tax losses (as at 30 June
2021) restricted in accordance with the Group's accounting policy.
In the Spring Budget 2021, the UK Government announced that from 1 April 2023,
the corporation tax rate would increase from 19% to 25%. This new law was
substantively enacted in the Finance Bill 2021 and received Royal Assent on 10
June 2021. Where appropriate, deferred taxes at the balance sheet date have
been measured using the appropriate tax rates (based on when the underlying
balance is expected to crystallise) and reflected in these financial
statements.
The Group has assessed that a deferred tax asset equal to the value of
unutilised tax credits expected to be utilised over the next three financial
years is appropriate, as, based on the already secured work for that
timeframe, management have assessed it is probable that the Group will have
sufficient taxable profits to enable the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Any remaining unutilised tax credits have not been recognised (note 18).

the register of members at the close of business on 11 November 2022.
9 Earnings per share
Basic and diluted earnings/(losses) per share (EPS)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to ordinary
shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
during the year, excluding those held by the Trust, which are treated as
cancelled.
Under normal circumstances, the average number of shares is diluted by
reference to the average number of potential ordinary shares held under option
in the year. The dilutive effect amounts to the number of ordinary shares
which would be purchased using the aggregate difference in value between the
market value of shares and the share option price. Only shares that have met
their cumulative performance criteria are included in the dilution
calculation. The Group has two classes of potentially dilutive ordinary
shares: those share options granted to employees where the exercise price is
less than the average market price of the Company's ordinary shares during the
year and the contingently issuable shares under the Group's long-term
incentive plans. A loss per share cannot be reduced through dilution, hence
this dilution is only applied where the Group has reported a profit.
The earnings and weighted average number of shares used in the calculations
are set out below.

Impairment review of goodwill and key assumptions
Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually. The recoverable amount of
a CGU is determined based on value in use calculations. These calculations use
pre-tax cash flow projections based on future financial budgets approved by
the Board, based on past performance and its expectation of market
developments. The key assumptions within these budgets relate to revenue and
the future profit margin achievable, in line with our strategy and targets as
set out in the Strategic report. Future budgeted revenue is based on
management's knowledge of actual results from prior years and latest forecasts
for the current year, along with the existing secured works and management's
expectation of the future level of work available within the market sector. In
establishing future profit margins, the margins currently being achieved are
considered in conjunction with expected inflation rates in each revenue and
cost category. In Building and Infrastructure, the margins currently being
achieved are expected to increase in line with the strategy set out in the
Strategic report within the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022.

Onerous contract provisions are made on loss-making contracts the Group is

Rectification provisions are made for potential claims and defects for

The discontinued operations resulted from the working capital adjustment
agreed in respect of the disposal of the housebuilding divisions. This was
fully settled in the year to 30 June 2021.
17 Contract balances
Contract assets and liabilities are included within "trade and other
receivables" and "trade and other payables" respectively on the face of the
balance sheet. Where there is a corresponding contract asset and liability in
relation to the same contract, the balance shown is the net position. The
timing of work performed (and thus revenue recognised), billing profiles and
cash collection results in trade receivables (amounts billed to date and
unpaid), contract assets (unbilled amounts where revenue has been recognised)
and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities), where no
corresponding work has yet to be performed, being recognised on the Group's
balance sheet.

18 Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is calculated in full on temporary differences under the
liability method and is measured at the average tax rates that are expected to
apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally
enforceable right to offset current income tax assets against current income
tax liabilities. The net deferred tax position at 30 June was:

(1) The Group had previously recorded a deferred tax asset in respect of
unutilised tax credits resulting from historic trading contract losses. This
asset was initially recorded within current tax assets and was transferred
during the previous year. The Group has assessed that an asset equal to the
value of unutilised tax credits expected to be utilised over the next three
financial years is appropriate, as, based on the already secured work for that
timeframe and the approved Group budgets, management have assessed it is
probable that the Group will have sufficient taxable profits to enable the
deferred tax asset to be recovered. These losses can be carried forward
indefinitely and have no expiry date.
Any remaining unutilised tax credits have not been recognised and the Group
has approximately £53m (2021: £95m) of unrecognised trading losses, although
these are subject to agreement with HMRC.
19 Share-based payments
The Group operates performance-related share incentive plans for Executives,
details of which are set out in the Directors' Remuneration report. The Group
also operates sharesave schemes. The total charge for the year relating to
employee share-based payment plans was £2.3m (2021: £1.0m), all of which
related to equity-settled share-based payment transactions. After deferred
tax, the total charge was £2.1m (2021: £1.0m).

21 Guarantees and contingent liabilities
Galliford Try Holdings plc has entered into financial guarantees and counter
indemnities in respect of bank and performance bonds issued in the normal
course of business on behalf of Group undertakings, amounting to £127.1m
(2021: £146.8m).
22 Business combinations
On 7 October 2021, the Group acquired the water business of nmcn plc (which
had been placed into administration) for £1.0m settled in cash. This expanded
the Group's geographical presence on key frameworks across the UK, and its
capabilities in the water sector, in line with the Group's strategy.
The acquisition comprised of significantly all of the water business contracts
and orderbook and the entire share capital and control of Lintott
Environmental Technologies Limited and its trading subsidiary Lintott Control
Systems Limited. nmcn Water delivers water and wastewater projects for clients
across the UK, including design and MEICA capabilities which will further
allow growth across our Environment business.
The goodwill of £11.0m arising from the acquisition is significantly
attributable to the acquired workforce, consisting of 967 employees. None of
the goodwill recognised is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The following table summarises the consideration paid and the provisional fair
value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed (which are deemed to
represent one cash generating unit).

4 Provisions and other liabilities relate to onerous contracts.
5 The favourable and unfavourable contracts have been valued after assessing
the margins in the underlying contracts novated.
6 Deferred tax has been recognised where temporary differences arise on the
fair value adjustments.
The acquisition contributed £74.1m of revenue and £1.8m of pre-exceptional
profit before tax and amortisation (on the acquired intangibles) in the period
to 30 June 2022. The performance of the business preceding the acquisition was
impacted by nmcn plc entering administration, and accordingly it is
impracticable to assess the contribution it would have made to the Group if
acquired at the start of reporting period.
Acquisition related costs of £7.7m include legal and professional fees,
integration, and staff costs, have been treated as exceptional, being material
and non-recurring/irregular items in accordance with our accounting policies
and detailed further in note 5.
23 Post balance sheet events
On 8 July, the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of MCS Controls
Systems Limited ("MCS"), a leading systems integrator to the industrial and
utilities sectors for a consideration of £1 settled in cash.
The addition of MCS's capabilities is complementary to the operations of
Galliford Try's expanding Environment business. In particular, MCS provides
additional competencies that complement those acquired in October 2021 with
nmcn's water business and Lintott Control Systems and will accelerate the
growth of Galliford Try Environment's asset optimisation and capital
maintenance strategy.
For the year ended 31 December 2020, being the last year for which MCS has
published audited results, MCS generated revenue of £10.1 million, incurred a
pre-tax loss of £0.5 million and had net assets of £2.0 million. In addition
to the purchase consideration of £1, Galliford Try expects to fund certain
contractual liabilities incurred prior to the completion date of the
acquisition to strengthen MCS's balance sheet and provide additional
operational stability. As the acquisition was made after the reporting date,
it has made no contribution to Group results for the year ended 30 June 2022.
The provisional Balance Sheet at the date of acquisition is shown below.

At the date of this report, it is impracticable to disclose the provisional
fair values of the acquired assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities and
goodwill, including those expected to be deductible for tax purposes as the
initial accounting for the business combination is not complete.
24 Prior year adjustments
The Group has identified the need to make a correction to the 2021 and 2020
balance sheets.
i) The balance sheet at 30 June 2021 has been restated due to the incorrect
presentation of trade receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities in
relation to one combined contract. At 30 June 2021, no trade receivable should
have been recognised as there was not an unconditional right to payment, the
amount should have instead been recognised as a contract asset. Additionally,
the contract position across different performance obligations within the
combined contract should have been presented as one net balance whereas it was
previously presented on a gross basis.
ii) The provisions and accruals balances have been restated, reflecting a
reclassification between the two line items. Onerous contract and
rectification provisions were previously reported within accruals, but should
have been presented as provisions. See note 16 for additional information on
provisions.
iii) Other receivables and current income tax assets have been restated
reflecting a reclassification of research and development expenditure credits
from current income tax assets to other receivables.
To correct the presentation of these balances in the prior year, the Group has
restated the balance sheet and associated note disclosures as at 30 June 2021
and statement of cash flows for the year then ended as outlined below.
There is no overall effect of the restatements on net assets at 30 June 2021
nor profit for the year then ending.

income tax assets by £4.5m, increase provisions for other liabilities and
charges by £15.3m and reduce accruals by £15.3m. There is no impact on net
assets or reserves.
