Hargreaves Services: AGM Statement and Notice of Interim Results

· Issued by Hargreaves Services plc via RNS

Summary by 6ix AI

Hargreaves Services plc, which provides services to the environmental, infrastructure and property sectors, said on October 28, 2026, ahead of its Annual General Meeting, that trading is in line with Board expectations. It expects results for the year ending May 31, 2027 in line with consensus market expectations, which it puts at revenue of £292.1m and profit before tax of £17.8m.

Key details

  • The company puts consensus market expectations for that year at earnings per share of 48.8p and cash of £26.3m. These are the company's view of consensus before this announcement, not results.
  • Recently announced new work includes an engineering project at Sizewell C and a 15-year logistics contract with Re.Group supporting the UK Deposit Return Scheme in Scotland. The company says the Sizewell C award supports existing forecasts for the financial years labelled FY27 and FY28; the current financial year ends May 31, 2027.
  • The Re.Group contract is expected to start in October 2027, contribute from FY28 and have its full impact in FY29 and beyond.
  • The Board expects to give a further trading update in December 2026, before interim results for the six months ending November 30, 2026, due on Wednesday January 27, 2027.
  • The meeting is at 11am at the Royal Station Hotel in Newcastle Upon Tyne, with a brief presentation by Chief Executive Simon Hicks that will not disclose new material information.

What’s still pending

  • Full-year results in line with market expectations are the Board's expectation, not a reported result.
  • The Re.Group contract's October 2027 start and its contribution from FY28 are expected, not certain.

The Company operates through three divisions as follows: Services, Land, and a German joint venture.  

Services is the core of the Group, providing specialist contracted services to critical projects in the Connectivity, Clean Energy and Environmental markets. Its services include but not are not limited to earthmoving, waste management, materials handling, industrial services, mechanical and electrical contracting, and logistics. With a strong base of long-term customer relationships, and expertise in critical sectors, Services is well positioned to benefit from the substantial opportunities in the UK’s significant infrastructure market. 

Land is focused on unlocking value from the Group’s land portfolio through residential and commercial development, as well as strategic disposal opportunities. The proven strategy is increasingly built around realising value from legacy assets in order to return value to shareholders. 

Germany operates in specialist industrial raw materials trading and recycling markets. This includes DK Recycling, a specialist recycler of steel waste.
