Update: Tougher H2 reflected in flat FY14 outturn

The likely FY14 outturn is expected to be within lowered guidance at the beginning of Q4 (when weaker Civils trading and a slower JV ramp were first flagged) leaving a flat profit profile. The rating reflects this and suggests that a re-rating is possible if strategic growth targets can be delivered. Ahead of that, a yield approaching 6% offers income attraction.
