英国房地产开发商Persimmon上调了全年业绩预期，计划完成12500套新房建设，达到此前指引的上限水平[1]。公司表示预期受益于英国首相Burnham的住房政策议程[1]。
上半年财务表现良好，税前利润同比增长15%，达到1.68亿英镑[1]。同期建成住房数量也增长13%[1]。不过，Persimmon指出面临来自中东冲突推高建筑成本的压力，预计将面临额外通胀压力[1]。为应对成本挑战，公司已采取了一系列措施，包括采购节省、房屋规格优化、房型设计改进、管理费用削减和运营效率提升[1]。
UK housebuilder Persimmon has raised its full-year performance guidance and plans to complete 12,500 new homes, positioning itself at the upper end of its previous forecast [1]. The company attributes its optimism partly to the housing policy agenda of Prime Minister Burnham [1].
The builder reported a 15% increase in pre-tax profit to £168 million in the first half of the year, while the number of homes completed rose 13% over the same period [1]. However, Persimmon acknowledged headwinds ahead, anticipating additional inflationary pressures through 2027 stemming from Middle East conflicts that are driving up construction costs [1]. To mitigate these challenges, the company has implemented several cost control measures, including procurement savings, specification optimization, house type redesign, reduction in management expenses, and operational efficiency improvements [1].
