update
31st December 2022 - 9 months unaudited
We are pleased to present unaudited results for the emh Group
for the 9 months to 31 December 2022.
Despite the current financial challenges, our performance to
date is ahead of budget and we continue to deliver our board
approved strategy of developing new homes and investing in our
existing properties to improve the lives of our residents and
positively impact the communities we operate in.
To date, we have delivered an overall surplus of GBP12.5m
compared to a budgeted surplus of GBP7.1m. This is also ahead of
the full prior year surplus of GBP11.1m. Our improvement on budget
is driven by strong margins on first tranche shared ownership sales
and asset disposals.
Furthermore, we have invested GBP73m in new homes (rented and
shared ownership) and improvements to existing properties. All this
is despite emh and other social housing providers continuing to
face an uncertain operating environment. High inflation, a tight
labour market, and the residual impact of the pandemic on supply
chains have increased costs considerably.
