Overall, turnover decreased by 12.0% to GBP368.9m (from GBP419.3m), while operating surplus increased by 7.4% to GBP124.1m (from GBP115.5m). The increase in surplus can be attributed to an increased social housing lettings surplus up 19.1% to GBP73.0m (from GBP61.3m). Other social and non-social income increased by 181% to GBP13.2m (from GBP4.7m).

We sold 242 homes (30 September 2021: 314 homes) during the half year ended 30 September 2022. Due to the lower number of units staircased, the surplus on sale of fixed assets decreased by 8.6% to GBP26.6m (from GBP29.1m).

Operating costs have decreased by 0.5% to GBP215.2m (from GBP216.2m).

Net interest and financing costs increased by 1.5% to GBP67.1m from a combination of rising interest rates, addition and drawing down of new revolving credit facilities.

Housing properties have increased by GBP35.3m to GBP6,777.1m as at 30 September 2022. The increase is attributable to:

   -- Affordable homes development          GBP83.6m 
   -- Works to existing properties                 GBP9.7m 
   -- Transfers from stock held for sale       GBP1.0m 

The above has been partially offset by GBP30.1m of housing property disposals (mainly staircasing) and a GBP28.9m depreciation charge.

Investment properties have decreased by GBP61.0m to GBP1,139.1m during the first half of the current financial year. The reduction is driven mainly by the disposal of 182 market rent units at Royal Albert Wharf (carrying value GBP67.2m) and a commercial unit at Warton Road (carrying value GBP0.8m). The decrease has been partially offset by GBP7.0m continued spend on the development programme of 99 market rent properties at Aylesbury plot 18.

Due to the continued uncertain political, economic and market environment, the board and management continue to review the carrying value of investments. Management has also evaluated the likelihood of recovery of all debtors with specific consideration to the level of arrears and likelihood of non-payment.

Group debt as at 30 September 2022 was GBP3,296.8m (31 March 2022: GBP3,352.5m) and undrawn facilities as at 30 September 2022 were GBP916.7m (31 March 2022: GBP964.7m).

NHG remains a financially robust organisation with substantial liquidity. We retain good relationships with our principal lenders and are ready and able to access the capital market as necessary.

We are mindful of the financial risks associated with our development pipeline and investment programme and manage these closely.

The capitalisation of the group's borrowing costs has been declining since the end of the 2020-21 financial year. This is mainly due to the completion of large land-led development schemes. Most of the new schemes that are being developed are largely S106 acquisitions from external developers, which would not require the capitalisation of borrowing cost over a prolonged construction period.

Housing depreciation has decreased in the six months to 30 September 2022 due to costs associated with the disposal of cladding which are written off as and when the costs are incurred.
