Re: Galliford Try Half Year results
Having now read the report in more detail some other interesting comments:
· Strong first half performance with profit before tax up 19% to £63.0 million, EPS up 19% to 61.9p and interim dividend up 23% to 32.0p reflecting confidence in the full year outlook.
· Net debt of £113.8 million (H1 2016: £95.7 million), in line with expectation.
Our targets include 60% growth in profit before tax to FY 2021, a five year CAGR on dividend of at least 5% and a return on net assets in FY 2021 of at least 25%, whilst rebuilding dividend cover to 2.0x.
Sounds good if they can keep increasing the dividend and improve the cover. It will be interesting to see if the final dividend is also increased by the same % as the interim.

A welcome dividend increase. I interpret the aims of rebuilding dividend cover and a 5 year target of 5% CAGR (agreed, they do say 'at least') as pointing to significantly lower increases in future. Not a problem for me - given the reasonably high starting point.
Cloud on the horizon? The wafer thin (and decreasing) margin on their construction business, which accounts for about 55% of revenue. At least they acknowledge the issue.
