Alumasc Holds Dividend as Order Book Grows Despite Revenue Dip

Alumasc ( (GB:ALU) ) just unveiled an update.

Alumasc reported a resilient first-half performance for the six months to 31 December 2025 despite softer UK construction markets and project delays linked to the Building Safety Act and affordability pressures. Group revenue fell 12% year-on-year to £50.4m, largely due to the absence of prior-period revenue from the Chek Lap Kok airport project in Hong Kong, while underlying operating margin narrowed to 8.9% and underlying profit declined to £4.0m, reflecting a heavier weighting of earnings to the second half. The company responded with £1.1m of annualised cost savings, maintained its interim dividend at 3.5p, and continued to strengthen its balance sheet, with net debt at £7.7m and a significantly improved pension surplus that will reduce annual contributions. Management highlighted strong growth in the order book—up 27% year-on-year excluding Chek Lap Kok and 50% higher than December 2023—bolstered by a £2m initial order for work at Changi Airport in Singapore and an expanding international pipeline beyond its traditional Asian and Middle Eastern markets. With leadership transition underway as a new CEO designate joins in March, Alumasc says it remains on track to meet full-year expectations and is strategically positioned to benefit from anticipated improvements in UK demand, infrastructure spending and the broader move toward sustainable and green buildings, supporting its aim of delivering higher margins and long-term shareholder value.
