Rod Holdsworth, Hyde Group Chief Financial and Resources
Officer, commented: "Because of Hyde's strong financial position,
we were able to weather the severe economic and sector challenges
and continue to invest in our homes and communities, for the long
term benefit of our customers.
"For example, we invested GBP65.9m, 20% more than last year,
replacing bathrooms, kitchens, windows and doors, installing new
roofs and carrying out cyclical decorations, plus electrical and
'business as usual' building safety works."
Hyde also continued to invest in building affordable homes, with
625 completions and a further 2,105 homes started in 2022/23. With
continual improvement in the quality and energy efficiency of
homes, this will help to reduce future maintenance and energy
costs.
"While our overall operating surplus remained static, at
GBP110.3m (2021/22:GBP110.7m), we saw a managed reduction in core
operating margins [excluding building safety costs, development and
joint venture sales, and disposal proceeds] as we chose to absorb
the rent cap and higher inflationary costs, and continued our
investment in homes and services," Holdsworth added.
Hyde's net debt remained stable at GBP1,492m (2021/22:
GBP1,427m), with substantial undrawn liquidity headroom of GBP873m
(2021/22: GBP891m).
Andy Hulme, Hyde Group CEO , said: "As a charitable
organisation, we've listened to our customers and are working with
them to improve the services we provide.
"We started a major restructure of our operational teams last
year, to give us a more joined-up approach; piloted a new
neighbourhood operating model, so we focus on local issues; and
continued to invest in digital services, so customers can engage
through their chosen channel, when it suits them.
"It's also important that we continue to build more affordable
housing, so we're delighted to have started building more than
2,100 homes this year - more than double the number in 2021/22.
"Along with our strategic partnerships with Homes England and
the Greater London Authority, we're continuing to work with our
investor partners to build tens of thousands of new homes over the
next decade. These homes are much needed and also generate
surpluses that enable us to further improve our existing homes.
"We'll also be able to continue work to improve the
energy-efficiency of our homes, thanks to being part of the
successful GBP40.4m Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund bid by the
Greener Futures Partnership. We'll receive about GBP6m - which
we'll match fund - to improve 951 homes with better insulation and
low-carbon heating."
Mike Kirk, Hyde Group Chair, commented: "We're in a strong
position. The changes we've made will start to deliver real
improvements in service delivery for our customers. We believe our
approach to be the best way to enable us to build, maintain and
manage even more high quality, safe, sustainable - and importantly,
truly affordable - homes in thriving neighbourhoods in the coming
years."
