Company research Forterra (FORT, p, £m) – FORT is a client of PERL UK’s second largest brick producer and leading building materials producer. Link to Progressive Equity Research note following interim results, Post-lockdown bounce “exceeds expectations”: Trading since lockdown has “exceeded management expectations”, brick and concrete products group Forterra has confirmed in today’s HY results to June. Brick and block volumes have recovered strongly, buoyed by strong housebuilding and refurbishment, while production has commenced at all plants – giving the Group sufficient confidence to recommence financial guidance for FY 2020E. We believe recovery in demand is likely to gather pace, fuelled by Government support for housebuilding. Revenue resilience. Progressive Equity Research has published a multi-sector report examining the importance of recurring revenue, Reliable revenue, please step forward … (link). Services companies covered in the report serving the property and infrastructure sector are: Gas and utilities safety compliance and energy efficiency provider, primarily to social housing, Sureserve Group (SUR – PERL provides research services to Shore Capital on this stock); Safety and compliance provider to commercial properties Marlowe (MRL); and Engineering services group supporting UK infrastructure, Renew Holdings (RNWH). Company news MJ Gleeson (GLE, 614p, £358m) Low-cost housebuilder, focused on north of England, and strategic land enabler, focused on south. FY (Jun) results. Rev -41%, £147m; PBT -86%, £5.6m; EPS -87%, 8.1p; div, 0p (34.5p); net cash £16.8m (HY 19, £30.3m). Home completions -11%, 904. Outlook: “We are currently seeing strong demand and expect this to continue through the year as the demographics of our customer base and the nature and price point of our product helps to insulate us from the impacts of rising unemployment, the end of the stamp duty holiday and the forthcoming changes to the Help to Buy scheme. We have therefore re-affirmed our interim target of delivering 2,000 homes per annum in 2022 and will prioritise investment in the business to achieve it. We expect the strategic land market will continue to recover as house builders cautiously scale up their targets for the acquisition of new sites.” Costain Group (COST, 47p, £130m) UK construction and infrastructure services group. FY (Jun) results. Rev -8.4%, £549m; adj PBT -73%, £5.7m; stat. loss before tax, £90.4m (HY 19, PBT £10.2m); adj EPS -84%, 2.1p; div, 0p (3.8p); net cash £141m (£41m). Loss includes previously reported £90m following legal disputes on two large contracts, for which the group is endeavouring to recover costs. Cash boosted by £100m equity raise. Order book unchanged at £4.2bn. Outlook: “There remains a strong pipeline of further opportunities which we are actively targeting. Looking ahead, assuming no further sustained COVID-19 lockdowns, we are confident of delivering growth in profits and margins next year. Costain is in a strong position with secured long-term programmes and a positive market backdrop, in particular the UK Government's drive to progress investment in infrastructure.” OnTheMarket (OTMP, 93p, £66m) Agent-backed residential property portal. Portal listing agreement signed with Taylor Wimpey (TW.), the UK’s second largest housebuilder, which completed 15,719 homes last year. Taylor Wimpey will be listing all its residential developments and properties for sale at OnTheMarket.com. This follows similar agreements with top-five builders, Barratt Developments (BDEV), Persimmon (PSN) and Bellway (BWY). Economic data Construction output. Monthly construction output grew by 17.6% in July, following the record monthly recovery of 23.5% in June, the level of construction output in July 2020 was 11.6% below the February 2020 level, according to the ONS (link). Construction output fell by 10.6% in the three months to July 2020, compared with the previous threemonth period; this was driven by falls in both new work (9.7%) and repair and maintenance (12.4%) Rental market. Tenants are joining the trend to ‘upsize’ following the lockdown, according to latest research from Hamptons International (link). In the four months between May and August, 34% of tenants that moved home upsized their living space by adding at least one extra bedroom. This compares to 25% during the first three months of the year. 25% of moves post-lockdown were from a flat to a house. This compares to 16% during the pre-pandemic period in the first three months of 2020. Those tenants upsizing between May and August added an average of 1.4 bedrooms and paid an additional 23% in rent, equivalent to an average of £149 per month more. Average rents overall, slipped by 0.5% to £1,019 per month for GB, but rose 2% to £816 excluding London, which fell by 3.9% to £1,848.

  • Efes Database of European Companies 2020 Version
    European Federation of Employee Share Ownership www.efesonline.org March 15, 2020 EFES DATABASE OF EUROPEAN COMPANIES EMPLOYEE SHARE OWNERSHIP / GOVERNANCE / OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE 2020 VERSION The EFES Annual Economic Survey brings a practically exhaustive picture. It is based on the EFES database of European companies. The database gathers all detailed information about employee share ownership, employee share plans and participation in each of all significant European listed companies and in each of all large European majority-employee-owned non- listed companies. In addition, the database gathers also information about corporate governance and about the ownership structure of European companies. The first idea for such a database was tested in 2005. A comprehensive database was set up in 2006, thanks to the support of the European Commission – DG Employment and Social Affairs. Then, the database was annually completed and updated since year 2007. From time to time within the last thirty years, some European reports gave information about employee share ownership and its development across Europe. The most important reports were: PEPPER I Report in year 1991, PEPPER II Report in year 1996 and a Report named "Recent trends in employee financial participation in the European Union" by Professor Erik Poutsma in 2001. At this time, these reports were practically the only source of information regarding the extent of employee share ownership in the European Union. However, they were based on partial information (phone inquiries) which was not made available before a very long delay. For instance, the 2001 Report was "based on the findings of the 1996 EPOC survey (Employee Direct Participation in Organisational Change), conducted on behalf of the [Dublin] Foundation." Finally, we didn't have relevant information for all countries of the European Union (for instance, the 2001 Report gave information about 10 countries, no more).
