Barratt Redrow said the surge in statuatory pre-tax profits was a result of further Redrow‑related integration and a reduction in PPA costs. Adjusted operating profits before PPA effects edged 0.6% higher to £598.1m, but adjusted pre-tax profits fell 7.1% to £572.8m.

The FTSE 100-listed group ended the year with £772.8m in net cash after £242.2m in dividends and £100m of buybacks, and reiterated its £400m capital‑return plan for FY27.

Operationally, private reservation rates were slightly ahead of last year, and the Redrow integration was completed, delivering £73m of cost synergies and confirming the £100m target. Barratt Redrow also highlighted continued leadership in build quality, customer satisfaction and sustainability.

Since year‑end, weekly private reservations strengthened to 0.62, supported by PRS and multi‑unit sales, while forward sales stood at 11,200 homes worth £3.34bn as of 6 September.

However, FY27 completion guidance was modestly trimmed from 17,900 to 17,500 - including around 600 joint-venture units - reflecting ongoing planning delays and a reduction in expected sales‑outlet openings.

As of 0845 BST, Barratt Redrow shares were up 7.85% at 298.10p.
