Sutton Harbour Group plc ("Sutton Harbour", "the Company"), the AIM listed waterfront regeneration and destination specialist, announces preliminary results for the year ended 31 March 2019.

Highlights

-- In December 2018 the Company held a general meeting at which shareholders approved the issue of 10,344,951 new ordinary shares via an Open Offer to existing shareholders. This issue was fully subscribed and resulted in a fresh equity injection of GBP3 million (before costs) to be used in the ongoing development of the Company including pre-construction costs in respect of planning consented schemes 'Harbour Arch Quay' and 'Sugar Quay' and to meet capital maintenance costs and other funding requirements across its ordinary and development activities.

-- In March 2019, the Government Inspectors' report concerning the Local Authority's new planning framework was issued which affirmed safeguarding for a period not to exceed five years of the former airport site for possible general aviation use.

Results and Financial Position

The adjusted profit before taxation for the year was GBP0.072m (2018: GBP0.135m loss) which excludes non-cash fair value adjustments and the costs in connection with the change of ownership. The profit before taxation for the year under review as per the Income Statement, inclusive of the aforementioned adjustments, was GBP1.516m (2018: GBP2.502m Loss before taxation).

As at 31 March 2019, net assets were GBP45.732m (2018: GBP39.328m), representing 39.4p per share (2018: 37.2p per share). The increase follows the issue of 10,344,951 new ordinary shares at 29 pence each, providing new capital of GBP3m, before costs of GBP73,000, and also the valuation of the Company's property assets which gave rise to an overall valuation surplus of GBP3.084m. Gearing as at 31 March 2019 stood at 46.7% (2018: 55.6%). Net finance costs increased to GBP0.901m in the year (2018: GBP0.897m) as the bank borrowing rate had increased by 0.25% and average borrowing compared year to year was higher.

Net debt (including finance leases) decreased to GBP21.373m at 31 March 2019 from GBP21.858m at 31 March 2018. Development Inventories increased by GBP2.281m reflecting the investment required to progress three schemes to planning consented status and a further GBP0.303m was invested in the Company's infrastructure asset base.

The board does not recommend payment of a dividend on the year's results.

Directors and Staff

Early in the financial year Philip Beinhaker was appointed Executive Chairman and Jason Schofield, Chief Executive left the Company in July 2018. The board has advertised a Chief Operating Officer position and intends to announce a new board appointment in the near future. There have been no other changes at board level during the year.

Headcount as at 31 March 2019 decreased to 30 (31 March 2018: 33) as the Company has continued to outsource certain specialist roles following some voluntary resignations.

Operations Report

MARINE

Overall, the marine segment has performed steadily during the year. The Marinas both achieved modest growth in revenue and occupancy and this encouraging trend has continued into the start of the new 2019/20 berthing season. Results from fishing activities were undermined by a poorer level of fish stocks in local waters with landings of fish by value down 23.5% on the previous financial year. Despite lower revenue from fish landing dues, other revenues including fuel sales, ice sales and rentals of property at the Plymouth Fisheries facility held up well during the year under review.

REAL ESTATE AND CAR PARKING

Focused marketing of vacant property has resulted in the occupancy rate increasing to 94% as at 31 March 2019 from 87% as at 31 March 2018. During the year seven new tenancies have been completed, and the Company has been pleased to see more businesses, in both professional businesses services and restaurant sectors, choose Sutton Harbour as a trading base.

Car Parking revenue increased slightly during the year, compared to the previous year. Parking at the Harbour Car Park continued to be affected by the out of action footbridge which links this car park more directly to the eastern side of the harbour where popular attractions including the Barbican and the Hoe are situated. The bridge was returned to full service on 19 April 2019 after a new bearing was fabricated and the structure recommissioned in time for the busier summer season. Early in 2019 the car parks contract with a third party specialist management company was renewed on improved terms.

REGENERATION

Sutton Harbour

The Company gained planning approval for two new landmark residential led schemes for Sutton Harbour in November 2018. The Harbour Arch Quay development of 14 flats and The iconic Sugar Quay building with 170 apartments are both due to start construction by the end of the year. The two storey Harbour Car Park extension, which will accommodate a further 114 parking spaces, is also due to start late 2019, with the additional parking to be available for use in summer 2020. The Company is engaging with local stakeholders, including Plymouth City Council, on events to be held in 2020 to commemorate the 400(th) anniversary of the departure of the Pilgrim Fathers on the Mayflower vessel to America. The historic port of Sutton Harbour is the focal point for commemorative events and the Company is making ready for the expected high number of visitors to the area.

Former Airport Site

The Company continues to manage and maintain the Former Airport Site which closed in December 2011. The 113 acre site, which is already surrounded by urban development, is ideally located for mixed urban use, and can deliver a sustainable built environment for the economic and social wellbeing of the people of Plymouth. The safeguard of the site for possible general aviation use is provided for the next five years, after which the Government Inspectors consider a prolonged safeguard to be inappropriate due to the value of the land for urban uses. The Company had prepared an initial masterplan for mixed use development for the site and continues to refine this to ensure its formulation as a development programme is deliverable in phases to meet planning framework policy and an aspiration for a new sustainable urban neighbourhood.

SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK

The Company has continued to deliver on its vision to be the leading marine, waterfront regeneration and destination specialist in Southern England in accordance with its stated strategy. We have delivered major new planning consents, completed in-depth reviews of other trading activities and put strategic plans for growth in place.

Going Concern

The Group's forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably foreseeable possible changes in trading performance, show that the Group should be able to operate within the level of the facilities and covenants over a period of at least twelve months. The covenants measure interest cover, debt to fair value and capital expenditure.

After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group, therefore, continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
