Trading through the troubles

Although 2016 results were in line, with increased revenues and positive cash flow, Carillion’s share performance reflects the challenges still evident in the balance sheet. Average net debt last year was £587m, the pension deficit at the end of 2016 was £663m (post tax) and there was an early payment facility (EPF) for suppliers of £498m at the year end. Management is tackling these with business rebalancing and ongoing cost reduction programmes. Meanwhile, the dividend was nudged up, currently yielding over 8%.
