The adjusted gross profit for FY24 was £689m, a 39% fall from £1.130bn last year.  

This downturn was attributed to the combined effects of higher sales incentives, inflation in building costs, and a decrease in completion volumes, which reduced fixed cost efficiencies. 

Basic earnings per share (EPS) plummeted by 77.8% to 11.8p per share, down from 53.2p in FY23. 

Joint ventures (JV) contributed to the financial strain, delivering a lower adjusted profit of £14.9m, a drop from £32.5m in the previous year.
