Morgan Sindall Group has announced that full-year profits are projected to be significantly ahead of previous expectations due to strong performance in its fit-out division.

The company's secured order book as of September 30 has increased to £1.3 billion, reflecting a 15% rise from the end of 2023 and indicating robust future prospects.

While the mixed-use partnership division faces subdued trading, the overall secured order book stands at £8.9 billion, up 3% from the half-year mark, highlighting a high-quality workload.

Morgan Sindall Group, (LSE:MGNS) a prominent construction firm, has revised its full-year profit outlook, indicating that results will be "significantly ahead" of prior expectations. This positive adjustment is primarily attributed to exceptional performance in the company’s fit-out division, which has experienced a substantial increase in profits due to high operational volumes.

As of September 30, the secured order book for the fit-out division reached £1.3 billion, representing a 15% increase from the end of 2023. This growth in secured contracts enhances the company’s confidence in achieving its financial goals for the current year and beyond. Furthermore, Morgan Sindall reported that both its construction and infrastructure units remain on track to meet full-year revenue and medium-term margin objectives. The partnership housing segment is also performing well, with profits projected to exceed earlier forecasts.

Despite the overall positive outlook, Morgan Sindall acknowledged that trading conditions in its mixed-use partnership division have been "subdued." However, the company remains committed to a remediation plan within its property services unit, which is expected to conclude by the end of 2024, paving the way for a return to profitability in 2025.

Overall, Morgan Sindall has emphasized its strong position in the market, with a total secured order book of £8.9 billion as of September 30. This figure marks a 3% increase from the half-year and aligns with the year-end position of 2023, underscoring the company's capacity to manage a high-quality workload moving forward.
