About Renew Holdings plc
Engineering Services, which accounts for approximately 85% of
Group revenue and 90% of operating profit, focuses on the key
markets of Energy (including Nuclear), Environmental and
Infrastructure, which are largely governed by regulation and
benefit from non-discretionary spend with long-term visibility of
committed funding.
Specialist Building focuses on the High Quality Residential
market in London and the Home Counties.

Chairman's Statement
The Group has again delivered record interim results with
further growth in both revenue and operating profit. The Group
continues to see positive results from its strategy of focusing on
providing essential engineering services into regulated markets
where long-term maintenance and renewal requirements are funded
mainly through operational expenditure budgets.
Results
Group operating profit, prior to amortisation charges, increased
by 7% to GBP10.5m (2015: GBP9.8m), on revenue up 5% to GBP265.1m
(2015: GBP252.1m). Operating margin measured on this basis
increased to 4.0% (2015: 3.9%) with earnings per share prior to
amortisation charges increasing by 9% to 13.31p (2015: 12.24p).
Profit before income tax increased by 14% to GBP8.8m (2015:
GBP7.7m).
In Engineering Services, revenue grew by 6% to GBP221.3m (2015:
GBP209.8m), representing 84% (2015: 83%) of Group revenue with
operating profit prior to amortisation charges increasing by 8% to
GBP10.4m (2015: GBP9.7m), giving an improved operating margin of
4.7% (2015: 4.6%).
In Specialist Building, the Board continues to focus on contract
selectivity and risk management. The business, which operates
mainly in the High Quality Residential market in London and the
Home Counties, delivered an operating profit of GBP1.1m (2015:
GBP1.0m) on revenue of GBP44.4m (2015: GBP42.5m).
Dividend
In line with its progressive policy, the Board is increasing the
interim dividend by 18% to 2.65p (2015: 2.25p) per share which will
be paid on 4 July 2016 to shareholders on the register at 3 June
2016.
Order book
The Group's order book at 31 March 2016 increased by 9% to
GBP515m (2015: GBP471m). The Group's expected revenue for the
second half of the financial year is fully secured.
Cash
At 31 March 2016, the Group had net debt of GBP4.2m (2015:
GBP13.9m). The Board expects to report a net cash position at the
end of the financial year.
Board changes
In March 2016, Brian May announced his retirement as Chief
Executive, effective 30 September 2016. Paul Scott, who is
currently Director of Engineering Services, will succeed Brian.
Paul joined the Board in 2014 and was previously Managing Director
of the Group's principal nuclear business, Shepley Engineers
Limited.
The Board was strengthened further by the appointment on 31
March 2016 of Andries Liebenberg, Managing Director of the Group's
largest business, Amco Rail, which is a leading supplier of
infrastructure services to Network Rail.
Outlook
The Group continues to make good progress as a leading provider
of engineering support services in the UK's Energy, Environmental
and Infrastructure markets. The requirement for long-term
maintenance and renewal activities drives programmes of
non-discretionary spending in our target markets, often over
several years, which provides good visibility of future workload
with committed funding.
It remains the Board's strategy to grow our Engineering Services
business, both organically and through selective earnings enhancing
acquisitions. The growth in our order book and good cash generation
gives the Board confidence that the Group will deliver strong
results for the full financial year. Renew remains on track to
achieve its target of a 4.5% Group operating margin for the year
ending 30 September 2017.
R J Harrison OBE

Chief Executive's Review
As a leading provider of engineering services supporting
critical UK infrastructure, Renew operates in the Energy,
Environmental and Infrastructure markets. These mainly regulated
markets, which include nuclear and fossil power generation sites,
water and gas pipelines and the rail and wireless telecoms
networks, have high barriers to entry.
Engineering Services
During the first half of the financial year, Engineering
Services revenue grew by 6% to GBP221.3m (2015: GBP209.8m) and
accounted for 84% (2015: 83%) of Group revenue. When non-recurring
revenue recorded in 2015 is excluded, organic growth was 12%.
Operating profit prior to amortisation increased by 8% to GBP10.4m
(2015: GBP9.7m) with an operating margin of 4.7% (2015: 4.6%) with
further improvement expected in the second half of the financial
year.
At 31 March 2016, the Engineering Services order book was
GBP416m (2015: GBP382m), an increase of 9%.
Energy
Renew provides integrated engineering support to assets in the
nuclear, fossil, gas and renewable energy markets.
In Nuclear, the Group is active on 14 of the Nuclear
Decommissioning Authority's 17 nuclear licenced sites across the
UK. The majority of our work is undertaken at the Sellafield
nuclear site in Cumbria where we have operated for almost 70 years
and are the largest mechanical and electrical contractor on site.
Our work is delivered through 11 framework agreements focusing on
the long-term care and maintenance of operational plant in the
waste treatment or reprocessing, decommissioning, demolition and
clean up operations.
We continue to develop our range of integrated engineering
services and recently expanded our capabilities with the
acquisition of Nuclear Decontamination Services Limited, which
operates at Sellafield as well as other UK nuclear sites.
The strength of our relationships at Sellafield is evidenced by
our recent appointment to the major 10-year Decommissioning
Delivery Partnership Framework which has an estimated value of
GBP500m over the term. This framework is an essential part of
Sellafield's long-term decommissioning strategy and includes
provision for additional spend up to GBP1.5bn.
We continue to see good volumes of work on the established Multi
Discipline Site Works Framework which runs to 2017 and is aligned
to the largest scope of work at the Sellafield site, Production
Operations Support. Other frameworks include the Bulk Sludge
Retrieval programme, Site Remediation & Decommissioning
Projects and the Bundling Spares Framework.
Working nationally for Magnox, the UK's largest nuclear
decommissioning company, we operate as sole provider on the GBP30m
E, C&I framework, recently completing the first year of this
4-year framework. Elsewhere, we have increased our workload with
Westinghouse at Springfields where we have operated for over 20
years and we continue to be engaged in outage support at the
Heysham and Hartlepool reactor sites.
In gas, our addressable market on the 30/30 Iron Mains
Replacement Programme, which runs to 2032, is both substantial and
visible. As I reported last year, revenue flow from frameworks for
the delivery of these programmes has been slow and as a result this
business has continued to perform below our expectations.
Increasingly, our focus is on the large diameter medium pressure
market in London where our particular skills are highly valued by
our clients.
Environmental
We provide maintenance, renewal and emergency reactive services
to support water and sewer infrastructure, flood alleviation and
coastal protection works.
For Northumbrian Water, we operate as one of two providers on
the GBP14m per annum AMP 6 Sewerage Repairs and Maintenance
Framework. Work is also undertaken on the Major Waste Water, Clean
Water and Maintenance and Trunk Mains Cleaning frameworks.
We have maintained our strong relationship with Wessex Water
with our appointment to the AMP 6 Civils and EMI Delivery Partners
Framework. This arrangement, which runs to 2020, is estimated at
GBP350m over the term with potential for extension through the next
AMP 7 period. In addition, we remain involved on their new
Integrated Grid programme as well as on a range of civil
engineering schemes.
Our long established relationship with Welsh Water continues
with work being delivered via the Pressurised Pipelines Framework,
the Major Civils Framework and the Emergency Reactive
framework.
The first half of the year has seen good progress on the
Environment Agency's GBP10m MEICA Framework which covers flood and
water management sites throughout the Northern Region to 2019. In
addition, works have commenced to repair the electrical system at
the Fosse Barrier in York following our provision of emergency
support during the winter flooding. Work is also undertaken
nationally for the Environment Agency on four minor works
frameworks.
In Land Remediation, we work for National Grid on a number of
frameworks. During the period, we have also secured an GBP11m
contract at Sighthill for Glasgow City Council.
Our long running specialist restoration activity at the Palace
of Westminster is progressing with work well advanced on the second
of four projects on the Cast Iron Roof programme. In the period we
were also appointed to the four year Courtyards Conservation
framework at this site.
Infrastructure
As one of the leading infrastructure services providers to
Network Rail, we undertake off-track planned, reactive and
emergency maintenance and renewal works.
We are sole provider on seven Infrastructure Projects frameworks
with an advertised value of GBP450m over the five-year term of the
current CP5 investment period. We also undertake high volumes of
individual tasks through six Asset Management frameworks. These
cover a wide range of essential assets including bridges, tunnels
and embankments. We continue to develop our position as the major
structures renewals and sole maintenance contractor in Scotland and
notable schemes have included coastal line protection works at
Saltcoats.
Our locally based delivery teams provide a 24/7 emergency
response service on the rail network. The severe weather around the
turn of the year saw our teams respond to critical infrastructure
requirements for Network Rail. This included emergency works at
Lamington Viaduct in the Upper Clyde Valley where the main line
from Carlisle to Glasgow was closed for several weeks to repair
extensive damage caused by flooding. We returned the line to
operation ahead of schedule.
New awards include the three-year, GBP15m Historic Railways
Estate Works framework for Highways England.
In wireless telecoms we work for the UK's cellular network
operators and original equipment manufacturers. The corporate
M&A activity in this market during 2015 caused volatility and
adversely impacted our financial performance. Whilst the business
has not yet returned to deliver our originally expected level of
margin, it has traded profitably and in line with budget in the
first half of this financial year. Consumer demand for faster, more
capable mobile connectivity is driving the installation and
expansion of 4G services which continues to provide the majority of
our work.
Specialist Building
The Group has particular expertise and focuses on the major
structural engineering works required in many High Quality
Residential refurbishment projects in London and the Home
Counties.
In the first half of the financial year Specialist Building
revenue was GBP44.4m (2015: GBP42.5m), with an operating profit of
GBP1.1m (2015: GBP1.0m). The forward order book increased by 11% to
GBP99m (2015: GBP89m). This market remains robust and the Group has
fully secured revenue for the second half of this financial year
with very good visibility of workload through 2017.
Strategy
We continue to pursue our strategy of maximising organic growth
whilst seeking further earnings enhancing acquisitions. Our
independently branded subsidiary businesses deliver a large volume
of tasks across critical infrastructure networks, supporting their
day-to-day operation. Delivering planned and emergency maintenance
services for our clients with our responsive, directly employed
workforce provides a key differentiator in our markets, producing
growth opportunities.

reserves to shareholders on the register on 3 June 2016, payable on
4 July 2016. In accordance with IAS 1, dividends are recorded only
when paid and are shown as a movement in equity rather than as a
