Lendlease Construction (Europe) plunged to a \u00a316.4m pre-tax loss last year after making more than \u00a330m in provisions against legal claims.<\/p>\n

The contractor \u2013 last week renamed Bovis Construction (Europe) following its sale to US private equity giant Atlas Holdings \u2013 published results showing it dropped into the red in the 12 months to 30 June 2024.<\/p>\n

This followed a pre-tax profit of \u00a311.9m in the prior year, with the company citing the adverse impact of \u201cprovisions made against historic contracts\u201d.<\/p>\n

It added that it no longer used the same contract type and that costs were expected to be \u201csubstantially recovered\u201d.<\/p>\n

Revenue fell 7.5 per cent to \u00a3471.0m in the latest year as a result of \u201cdepressed bidding activity over the Covid-19 period”.<\/p>\n

The contractor said the market remained \u201cchallenging\u201d in 2023\/24 but that its balance sheet remained \u201cstable\u201d.<\/p>\n

The company had net assets of \u00a3190.1m at year-end, down from \u00a3211.3m 12 months earlier, and cash balances of \u00a391.2m, down from \u00a394.1m.<\/p>\n

Headcount dropped slightly, with the firm\u2019s average number of employees at 976 last year, compared with 1,110 in the prior period. Staff costs fell 11 per cent to \u00a3114.5m<\/p>\n

The contractor said it had been named as preferred bidder on \u201cseveral very exciting projects\u201d in the year to last June. These included constructing a new stand for Crystal Palace Football Club in London and creating a commercial building at Manchester Mayfield.<\/p>\n

It said it had \u00a32.8bn of \u201csecured and preferred\u201d project work that provided a \u201csolid foundation for future growth\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Lendlease UK construction business was rebranded as Bovis following the completion of its \u00a335m sale to US-based investment firm Atlas Holdings last month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The historic Bovis brand was first established in 1885. Australian-owned Lendlease acquired Bovis Construction in 1999, renaming it Bovis Lend Lease before dropping the Bovis name in 2011.<\/p>\n

Connecticut-headquartered Atlas operates a portfolio of 26 companies across multiple sectors including construction services and building materials. It generates about $16bn (\u00a312.5bn) in annual revenue and employs 50,000 people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
