Breedon Group (LON:BREE) Releases Quarterly Earnings Results

Breedon Group (LON:BREE) issued its quarterly earnings results on Wednesday. The company reported GBX 31.80 earnings per share for the quarter, Digital Look Earnings reports. Breedon Group had a return on equity of 7.73% and a net margin of 5.51%.

Here are the key takeaways from Breedon Group’s conference call:

• Reported revenue and EBITDA rose (assisted by U.S. acquisitions) and the group generated a record post‑COVID free cash flow of GBP 133 million, reducing leverage to 1.8x and enabling a 3% higher dividend of 15p.
• UK markets were weak—concrete volumes fell to levels not seen since 1963 and GB like‑for‑like revenues declined, leaving pricing and the timing of any recovery uncertain despite margin resilience from cost savings.
• The Lionmark acquisition is substantially integrated, adding asphalt and surfacing capability and creating a more vertically integrated U.S. Midwest platform that now represents almost 20% of group revenue, with medium‑term US margins expected in the high teens.
• Cement industry risks remain material—uncertainty over the UK CBAM timing, high domestic energy costs and import competition threaten competitiveness, even as Breedon invests in decarbonisation (FEED/Peak Cluster) with modest near‑term costs.
