04-11-09	WRAPUP 2-UK consumers more upbeat; M&S profit tops hopes	AFX UK Focus
By Mark Potter and James Davey LONDON, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Britons' confidence about economic recovery appears to be building, though companies remain wary and are still relying heavily on cost cutting to boost profits. `Clothing retailers Marks & Spencer and Next beat profit and sales forecasts respectively on Wednesday, while builders Taylor Wimpey and Redrow highlighted a pick up in the housing market, lifting shares in all four firms.` `But the companies also said their performance was flattered by extremely weak trading in the same time last year following the collapse of U.S. bank Lehman Brothers, and were worried about taxes rising next year to address rising government debt.` `"What we can say with some certainty is that the consumer is not in freefall and we're seeing stability, if somewhat subdued stability, in consumer spending," Next Chief Executive Simon Wolfson told Reuters.` `"(But) no one quite knows what the effect of increased taxation is going to be next year."` `Hopes of quick economy recovery in Britain were dealt a blow last month when official data showed an unexpected drop in activity in the third quarter, making the current recession the longest ever.` `The Nationwide consumer confidence index showed on Wednesday that consumer morale hit its highest level in the last two months since April 2008. But that survey was taken before the third-quarter growth data.` `"I think we've been through the worst of the downturn," Marks & Spencer (M&S) Chairman Stuart Rose told reporters.` `But consumer confidence was "fragile" and competition between companies was likely to be intense heading into the key Christmas trading period, he said.` `The British Retail Consortium said shop prices were flat in October compared with a year ago, with food prices up 2.5 percent and non-food prices down 1.3 percent, falling for an eleventh month in a row.` `"Retailers continue to feel the need to price competitively to get reluctant consumers to part with their money," said IHS Global Insight economist Howard Archer.` BEATING FORECASTS `M&S, which trades from over 650 stores in Britain and about 300 abroad, said profit before tax and one-off items was flat at 298 million pounds ($491 million) in the six months to Sept. 26.` `That beat analysts' average forecast as tight control of costs and stocks offset price cuts and weak demand.` `The 125-year-old group also said it planned to sell a selected range of around 400 branded grocery and household products, like Marmite and Kellogg's cereals, after a successful trial.` `M&S shares jumped as much as 8.5 percent to a 5-week high of 369.9 pence as analysts lifted full-year forecasts.` `"We have had a good start to the third quarter. However, the market remains competitive and, as we come up against volatile trading conditions last year, we remain cautious about the outlook for Christmas and the year ahead," Rose said.` `Fashion and homewares group Next posted a 1.3 percent fall in third-quarter sales at stores open at least a year, beating forecasts, and raised its sales and profit guidance for its full financial year.` `Its shares jumped 5 percent to 1,900 pence.` `A trading update from pubs group JD Wetherspoon underscored the importance of low prices to attract consumers.` `It bucked an industry trend for falling sales with a 0.3 percent rise in outlets open at least a year in the 13 weeks to Oct. 25.` `Housebuilders Taylor Wimpey and Redrow both reported an improving housing market, sending their shares up as much as 11 and 6 percent respectively.` ($1=.6071 Pound) (Additional reporting by Matt Scuffham and Lorraine Turner in London and Tresa Sherin Morera in Bangalore; editing by Simon Jessop and Hans Peters) Keywords: BRITAIN CONSUMER/ (mark.r.potter@thomsonreuters.com; +44 20 7542-2943; Reuters Messaging: mark.potter.reuters.com@reuters.net) COPYRIGHT Copyright Thomson Reuters 2009.

04-11-09	Taylor Wimpey PLC - Interim Management Statement	RNS
This news article is displayed preformatted as it may contain results tables RNS Number : 9063B Taylor Wimpey PLC 04 November 2009 4 November 2009 Taylor Wimpey plc Interim Management Statement This Interim Management Statement covers the period from 1 July 2009 to 4 November 2009. UK Housing UK housing market conditions continue to be significantly better than the equivalent period of 2008. The main house price indices are showing increases over recent months, with a gradual improvement in mortgage availability and a recent increase in industry housing starts also contributing to positive sentiment. Our own performance has remained encouraging since the half year. We did not experience the usual industry seasonal slowdown over the summer and sales rates have remained solid into the autumn. We are now fully sold for 2009 and our sales focus remains on achieving price increases as we build our 2010 order book. Our net private reservation rate for the second half to date is 0.56 homes per site per week (H1 2009: 0.65, H2 2008: 0.40). These reservation rates include the effect of cancellations, which remain low at 16% for the second half to date (H1 2009: 19%, H2 2008: 46%). The average selling price for private homes in the order book is currently c9% higher than the �163k achieved on private completions during the first half. This is a result of planned improvements in our mix towards housing rather than apartments, as well as price increases achieved over the last three months. As indicated at our half year results, we expect to deliver a higher average selling price on private completions in the second half than that achieved in the first half. The total order book value is �1.00 billion (week 43 2008: �1.06 billion). In response to the improved market conditions, we have steadily increased our build rates and we continue to open new outlets where we have maximised the benefits of revised planning consents and cost reductions. We have opened 22 outlets in the second half to date and now have 317 active outlets, with further openings planned for the balance of the year. Having started to brand new outlets as Taylor Wimpey in July, the roll out of the brand to existing outlets is underway. A wide range of prototypes for our new house type range are under construction and these house types will be available to buy from early 2010. This range will enable us to achieve further operational efficiencies and has been designed to allow future regulatory requirements, relating mainly to sustainability initiatives, to be met at the lowest possible additional cost. We have also made good progress in reducing build costs. Regular benchmarking exercises across our business have identified considerable opportunities for reductions in the cost of building our homes on current sites, with no compromise on quality. There are also opportunities to reduce the costs associated with infrastructure and other development costs. The enhancement to profits arising from these actions will accelerate as we open new outlets for future completions. Transaction volumes in the land market continue to be well below normal levels and we remain cautious on large scale land purchases. However, we have approved new land purchase commitments for 1,011 plots at 8 new sites since the half year, all of which have been on very favourable terms. With a strong consented landbank and ongoing opportunities to bring plots through from our strategic landbank, we will continue to be highly selective with regard to open market land transactions. The continuation of improved market conditions into the autumn selling season has been reassuring, although sustaining the current recovery will be dependent on improvements in mortgage availability and the wider economy. Our operational focus remains on build cost reduction and achieving sales price increases as we build our order book for 2010. North America Housing The US housing market has shown continued stability in the second half to date, giving cause for cautious optimism. Although foreclosures remain an issue, they have not had an incremental negative effect in recent months. The number of months of supply of both new and existing homes are reducing and affordability levels in many markets are very good. In Canada, the more stable economic climate has been reflected in a more robust housing market and our business continues to perform well. We have 153 active outlets in North America (30 June 2009: 168). Sales rates net of cancellations have remained consistent with the first half of the year, averaging 0.6 sales per site per week (H1 2009: 0.6, H2 2008: 0.3). Cancellation rates remain encouragingly low at c17% in the second half to date (H1 2009: 18%, H2 2008: 27%). Taking into account completions already achieved, our order book for the remainder of 2009 is in line to deliver our expectations for full year completions. Pricing has remained broadly flat against the first half average of US$275k. Our current order book stands at US$0.95 billion (week 43 2008: US$1.21 billion). We have already achieved significant reductions in both build and overhead costs and inventory levels remain under tight control. Our focus in North America is on ensuring that our landbank is well positioned to benefit from recovery. To this end, we have traded out of some of our existing holdings and have acquired land selectively in high quality locations totalling 2,240 plots in the second half to date. Whilst we continue to expect geographical variations in the timing and profile of recovery, we have experienced an encouraging period of prolonged stability in our North American markets. With affordability at extremely good levels there is the potential for significant price rises once economic conditions fully stabilise. Spain & Gibraltar Housing Our business in Spain is performing well in challenging market conditions and our plans to exit from our small business in Gibraltar remain on course. Group Net debt currently stands at c�860 million, a significant reduction against the �1.87 billion at the same point last year. We now expect year end net debt to be below �800 million despite our decision to accelerate significant cash commitments forward from early 2010. This represents an improvement of �100 million against previous guidance. As indicated at the half year, in the absence of a further material adverse change in our main markets, we would not anticipate further reductions in the carrying value of our landbank. The Group remains well positioned for market recovery, with a strong landbank and efficient operations in both the UK and North America. Cash generation remains a focus for the Group, but our primary focus is on returning to normal levels of profitability as quickly as market conditions allow. Taylor Wimpey is holding a site visit for analysts and investors later today, where current trading and UK operational strategy will be discussed.

03-09-09	UPDATE 2-Bovis Homes scoops 60 mln stg for land buys	AFX UK Focus
PLACED 12.1 MLN SHARES, 10 PCT OF CAPITAL, AT 500 PENCE `* To acquire residential land assets for development` `* Analysts say move will bring spotlight on other builders` `* Shares down 0.49 pct` (Adds placing details, share price, analyst comment) `By Lorraine Turner` `LONDON, Sept 3 (Reuters) British housebuilder Bovis Homes on Thursday bolstered its capital base by 60 million pounds ($97.9 million) via a share placement, which it plans to use to buy land at depressed prices.` `The move puts Bovis, the fifth largest UK housebuilder by market value, in a good position for a recovery, analysts said. It follows in the footsteps of rivals Berkeley Group and Bellway, which have both raised funds this year to invest in new land.` `Bovis placed up to 12.1 million shares with investors, representing 10 percent of the group's share capital, at a price of 500 pence per share, only fractionally lower than the group's closing price on Wednesday of 508.50 pence.` `Bovis said the cash would give it "further financial flexibility to take advantage of attractive opportunities in the short to medium term to acquire land for development as such opportunities arise."` `Berkeley turned to shareholders for 50 million pounds in February while smaller rival Bellway raised 44.8 million pounds last month.` `Barratt Developments is rumoured to be eyeing a cash call of up to 500 million pounds to reduce its debt, similar to peer Taylor Wimpey, which raised more than 500 million pounds via a rights issue to help prop up its balance sheet in May.` `"This move puts further pressure on the indebted housebuilders (Barratt and Redrow) to raise equity," said Imran Akram at Collins Stewart.` `Bovis posted a drop in underlying pretax profit last week but reported stronger trading in the first half, supporting a growing trend of stabilisation in the UK housing market.` `Bovis Chief Executive David Ritchie told Reuters when the results were released that there would be a greater number of distressed sellers in the second half of 2009 as vendors came under increasing pressure from their shareholders to sell land.` `"This deal will simply give Bovis more firepower in the land market. This is important as most housebuilders land banks are written down to the point where there is little by way of net margin at current house prices," said analysts at Panmure Gordon.` `Deutsche Bank and RBS Hoare Govett Ltd acted as joint book-runners for the placement. Shares in Bovis were down 0.49 percent at 1221 GMT, after rising in early trading.` (Reporting by Lorraine Turner; editing by Karen Foster) ($1=.6128 Pound) Keywords: BOVISHOMES/ (lorraine.turner@thomsonreuters.com; +44 20 7542 9597; Reuters Messaging: lorraine.turner.thomsonreuters.com@reuters.net) COPYRIGHT Copyright Thomson Reuters 2009.

Morrison.` `Ma&S, Kingfisher and Wm. Morrison are all reinistated with "buy" ratings.` `Merrill Lynch says its ratings distribution has "a cyclical bias but having rallied more than 40 percent in the last six months we believe the easy cyclical call on general retail has already passed."` `"Interest rates remain low and stable and sales momentum should pick up again against easy comparisons from late September, but 2010 looks like being a year of only modest consumption growth," the broker adds.` `The broker thinks "home" is the best play for its margin theme, with property sales modestly picking-up and with "improve not move" and DIY capturing those who cannot afford to relocate, hence its "buys" on Kingfisher and on Home Retail Group.` `Merrill Lynch says M&S looks most attractive due to a "clothing mark-down opportunity, renewed innovation in food and leverage to the upside from tight cost control, which to us, is not fully captured in the valuation."` `The broker also restarts clothing peer Next with "buy".` `Home Retail shares add 0.8 percent, Next gain 0.7 percent, Kingfisher firm 0.7 percent, M&S take on 0.7 percent, and and Wm.
