Galliford Try ( (GB:GFRD) ) has provided an update.
Galliford Try reported a solid first half to 31 December 2025, with revenue edging up 1.3% to £934.9m and adjusted profit before tax jumping 20.5% to £24.7m, driven by better margins in its Building and Infrastructure divisions. Divisional adjusted operating margin rose to 3.2%, the order book increased to £4.1bn, and an 18.2% uplift in the interim dividend underscores management confidence amid a strong cash position and disciplined risk management.
The group expects full-year revenue and adjusted profit before tax to exceed the top end of market forecasts, supported by high revenue visibility with 98% of FY26 and 80% of FY27 turnover already secured. Strategic moves, including the transition into the AMP8 water programme, investment in a new pipe fabrication facility and the £10m acquisition of Nene Valley Fire & Acoustic to bolster its high-margin fire protection offering, aim to deepen its presence in growth sectors and reinforce its long-term 2030 margin and sustainable growth ambitions.
