M o untfield Group Plc

Ha lf-y e arly report to 30 June 2020

Mountfield Group Plc ("the Group"), the AIM quoted commercial flooring and specialist construction services company announces its unaudited half-yearly report to 30 June 2020 ("the Period").

   --           Net profit before tax for the first half of the year was GBP81k (2019: GBP719k). 
   --           Turnover decreased from GBP9.14m to GBP5.82m over the corresponding period. 

-- The Board therefore anticipates that there will be a substantial reduction in turnover and net profit for the full 2020 calendar year.

The value of the Group's secured order book is, at GBP4.98m, lower than it was at the same point last year.

Peter Jay (Non-Executive Chairman) and Andy Collins (Group CEO) said:

"We are disappointed to report that the Group's performance and profitability that had improved substantially over the last few years have deteriorated significantly in the current year. Turnover and net profit for the Period are substantially lower than those achieved in the corresponding periods of the previous two years.

The substantial deterioration in performance was caused primarily by the contraction in demand for construction services caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. At this relatively early stage it is not possible to determine whether the contraction is a temporary phenomenon or whether its effect will continue to be felt over the longer term.

The Group's Executive Directors are continually monitoring the market to ensure that the Group will be in a position to react quickly to any changes and opportunities as they arise."

M o untfield Group Plc (the "Co mpany" or "the Group") Half-y e arly report to 30 June 2020

Connaught Access Flooring Limited ("CAF")

In the first six months of the year turnover was GBP3.1m (2019 - GBP3.9m) and the underlying profit before tax was GBP71k (2019 - GBP502k).

The majority of the projects that CAF has undertaken during the period were secured prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. CAF has continued to deliver these contracts, whilst complying with the Government's imposed guidelines, however, this has generally resulted in longer programme durations. Whilst tender activity has remained reasonably strong, the number of new projects start-ups (the majority of which continue to be in commercial office space in the City of London and Canary Wharf) has slowed considerably.

Mountfield Building Group Limited ("MBG")

In the first six months of the year turnover was GBP2.7m (2019 - GBP5.2m) and the underlying profit before tax was GBP138k (2019 - GBP355k).

The demand for MBG services have dropped considerably over the first half of this year, due primarily to the effects of COVID-19, and our IT clients reluctance to have works carried out in their sites where their network is currently at high demand. They are therefore only considering non-risk and essential engineering works currently on their sites. We are not aware how long this situation will remain, but would anticipate no increased demand for our services will be required, until well into the middle of next year.

Group and outlook

Even though the results for the last full financial year resulted in a further improvement in the working capital position of the Group which assisted it when dealing with the impact of COVID-19 and its consequent effect on the economy the Group has been challenged by the need to adjust to the dramatically reduced demand for its services.

The Group's current secured order book is GBP4.98m, mainly comprised of contracts which will be completed in 2020. This figure is substantially lower than at the same point last year. The Board does not expect that a substantial amount of new turnover will be won and delivered by this year end and that the result will be a significant drop in the Group's performance for 2020 as compared to that in 2019.

The Board believes that as regards future prospects, the changes resulting from the COVID-19 epidemic may be of a fundamental nature and that these changes are likely to have a long term and materially negative impact on the markets in which the Group companies operate.

The sharp recession that resulted from the steps taken to limit the spread of the virus has impacted the construction business generally, having had a significant, negative effect on the demand for construction services and in activity levels in the industry generally. The Group has also suffered because both Group companies offer specialist services to small segments of their respective markets.

Whilst the current drop in the UK's GDP is expected to be reversible in the medium to long term, the changes in working practices caused by the virus are likely to result in major changes in the overall demand for construction services and particularly for those services provided by the Group companies. The increasing extent to which companies will rely upon home-based workers has and will continue to reduce demand for city centre located office space and, in turn, for the flooring of large new or refurbished office premises within the City or in neighbouring areas.

In the light of the above, the Group companies are taking a cautious approach to securing their current and mid-term turnover targets and will concentrate on servicing the requirements of core clients on contracts which are neither onerous nor carry a significant risk element. The Board acknowledges that this policy will impact of turnover and net profit but believe that it is necessary and appropriate in order to protect the Group and the interests of shareholders in a period of unprecedented levels of uncertainty and risk.

The Board is continuing to monitor the changing market conditions and seek new contracts in the areas of construction that fall within the current specialisations of the Group companies.

   2.    Seg m ental reporting 

Seg ment in f o r mation is presented in res pect of the Group 's b us i ness s e g m e n t s, w hich are based on the Gro u p 's man a g e m e nt and i nter nal reporting str uct u re.

The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the Board of Directors (the Board). The Board reviews the Group's internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Management have determined the operating segments based on these reports and on the internal report's structure.

Segment performance is evaluated by the Board based on revenue and profit before tax ("PBT"). Segment results include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis, such as centrally managed costs relating to individual segments and costs relating to land used in more than one individual segment.

Given that income taxes and certain corporate costs are managed on a centralised basis, these items are not allocated between operating segments for the purposes of the information presented to the Board and are accordingly omitted from the analysis below.

The Group comprises the following segments:

Construction

Direct contracting and trade contracting services to both main contractors and corporate end users.

Fit-out

Providing raised flooring systems to both main contractors and corporate end users.
