Breedon Group PLC, a construction materials group in Great Britain and Ireland, has reported a strong trading performance for the ten months to October 2023. The company's revenue increased by 8% compared to the same period in 2022, with a 5% growth on a like-for-like basis. The changes to building regulations in the UK impacted ready-mixed concrete volumes, but the company has maintained tight control over its cost base and sustained pricing. Breedon Group continues to generate good free cash flow and expects to deliver a further reduction in covenant leverage at the year end. The company remains focused on self-help actions to mitigate the impact of a softening market and is pursuing opportunities in its M&A pipeline. Breedon Group expects to achieve full year 2023 underlying EBIT ahead of market consensus.
