Kier Group has reported a strong set of results for the year ended 30 June, with a record order book of £11 billion, up from £10.8bn in FY24.
The UK construction and property group said this provides significant long-term visibility, with 91% of FY26 revenue and around 70% of FY27 revenue already secured.
It posted revenue growth of 3% and a 6% rise in adjusted operating profit, with margins edging up to 3.9%.
Reported operating profit climbed 10% to £113.7 million.
The board has proposed a full-year dividend of 7.2p – a 38% increase on the previous year – alongside a £20 million share buyback programme launched in January 2025, over 30% of which was completed by year-end.
Chief executive Andrew Davies said the results exceeded expectations in the first year of its long-term sustainable growth plan.
“The group has started the current financial year well and for FY26 is trading slightly ahead of the board’s expectations,” he said.
