Summerset Group Holdings Limited ( (NZ:SUM) ) has provided an update.

Summerset Group Holdings has presented an Investor Day update from its first Australian village at Cranbourne North, showcasing progress on that site and other Australian developments as it advances its trans-Tasman growth strategy. The company has already delivered around 420 units toward its 750-850 annual build target, with a slight shift in sales mix toward new units following recent village openings.

Management reported that overall sales contracting levels have remained steady despite the recent conflict in the Middle East, and uncontracted resale stock has continued to decline, now at 2.4% of the portfolio. Summerset also highlighted rising cost pressures from higher fuel prices, with modest construction tender cost inflation and about 6% increases in key operational costs, but said it remains protected by existing procurement arrangements and has levers available to safeguard its balance sheet if economic conditions worsen.
