Hi Miller. Interesting questions. The way I read it...
- £140.9m net cash (that’s £117m + £85m - £62m, the other figures here just give a breakdown)
- £2bn secured of which £0.9bn will be earned in 2021, the remainder presumably earned in later years
- Costain reports in GBP so any profit or loss from transactions abroad have to be realised in £. The Spanish asset sold for eur 4.5m - that money will have been moved to a gbp account (fx transaction) with profit/ loss in £ as specified in rns
- it’s a guess but a framework isn’t a guarantee of income ... there is a delivery over a number of years with multiple participants; the delivery evolves over that time with companies allocated work as it progresses therefore only an estimate of costain’s share is given.
