RNS Number:8202W Spring Grove Prop. Maintenance PLC 24 March 2004 SPRING GROVE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE PLC Preliminary results for the year ended 31 January 2004 Spring Grove Property Maintenance Plc, the specialist provider of repair and maintenance services to the social housing and retail sectors, today announces its preliminary results for the year ended 31 January 2004. Highlights * 19 per cent increase in turnover * Return to profitability in second half of year * Clark Ray appointed Finance Director * "Indy 100" award for third consecutive year Chris Phillips, Chairman, commented as follows: "I am pleased to report another year of revenue growth and, whilst disappointed to be reporting a full year loss, a return to profitability in the second half of the year was encouraging. The continuing investment in infrastructure means that the Group has in place a strong management team which is well equipped for profitable growthin the year ahead." Press Enquiries: Kevin Childs and Andrew Milne, Spring Grove 020 8326 1188 Alex Borrelli and Jonathan Nelson, Shore Capital 020 7408 4090 SPRING GROVE PROPERTY MAINTENANCE PLC CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT I am pleased to report a further year of expansion for your Group with turnover rising by 19 per cent to #12.8 million (2003: #10.8 million). The loss before tax for the year of #23,950 (2003: profit #394,549) is disappointing but represents a turnaround from the loss before tax sustained in the first half year of #113,000. As I have reported previously your Group suffered from the slow build up of work levels from major contracts in the first half of the year. Additionally Robt. Hawkins (Contractors) Limited ("Hawkins"), which was acquired in November 2002, suffered from the loss of a major contract early in 2003, which accounted for some 20 per cent of its turnover. It is a measure of theresilience of the business that it has since more than recovered from this shortfall and Hawkins' turnover is currently ahead of the level at the time of its acquisition. I can also report that for the third year in succession Spring Grove hasbeen recognised in the Deloitte Indy (Independent on Sunday) 100 Fastest Growing Companies Awards. Only a handful of companies have achieved this distinction. In January this year Clark Ray joined the Board as full-time Finance Director. I would like to thank John Harrison for standing in as Finance Director during the search for a suitable candidate. Your Group has continued to improve the strength of its management team and infrastructure and is well positioned for future profitable growth. New contracts have been won recently with a combined gross value of #2.5million. A difficult year is now behind us and the New Year has started well. As a result, we would expect your Group to return to an acceptable level of profitability in the current year.
