A2Dominion Housing Group Ltd
14 September 2023
A2Dominion reports significant rise in costs and investment into existing homes in 2022/23
A2Dominion Housing Group Limited has published its Annual Report & Accounts for 2022/23, recording a turnover of GBP389.1m (2022: GBP465.8m) and a net deficit of GBP12.8m (2022: GBP40.4m surplus). This follows the Group's increased investment into its existing homes to ensure they are safe and comply with new regulations, as well as significant increases in its operational costs, and planned fall in sales income.
A significant part of the housing association's reduced operating margin and operating surplus (GBP50.3m) comes as a result of the economic conditions the organisation and sector is now facing. This includes GBP16.9m of impairments of active development schemes, GBP7.9m of abortive costs for schemes deemed no longer viable, and a further GBP7.6m of scheme write-downs within cost of sales. Combined, these GBP32.4m of costs have contributed towards the Group's reduced operating margin of 11.2% (2022: 20.1%), which would otherwise have been 19.5%.
The Group also saw a planned reduction in its sales and development programme which, coupled with construction delays, led to a fall in sales income of GBP40.6m. It also increased its investment into maintaining and improving its homes from GBP39.6m in 2022 to GBP54.7m.
Notwithstanding, A2Dominion's balance sheet remains strong, with GBP1.04bn of net assets and over GBP350m of available undrawn facilities, demonstrating its ability to weather the current and future challenges the economic environment presents.
Moving forward the Group will invest even greater resources into redevelopment and service improvements. It has taken stock of its operational and financial performance, continued investment to address safety and building quality issues, and the needs of its customers.
Ian Wardle, A2Dominion's Chief Executive Officer who joined the housing association in September 2022, said:
"A2Dominion hasn't been immune to the tough economic challenges. This year's financial performance has felt the full impact with rising inflation, interest rates, and energy costs, alongside tougher market conditions for construction and a reduced sales and development programme.
"We've also chosen to continue significant investments into remediating our tall and complex buildings and improving core landlord services.
"All these factors have contributed towards significant rises in our operational costs and pressures on our profitability. Work is already underway to reduce our operating expenses, borrowings and interest costs, which will help ensure our continued financial sustainability and resilience over the medium to longer term.
"Overall, we continue to be a financially strong organisation, with many of our services performing well. However we also recognise that there are some important areas where we need to improve and we are committed to putting this right."
