Publication of Annual Financial Statements 2022
A2Dominion Housing Group Ltd has today published its Annual Report & Accounts for 2021/22, recording a turnover of £465.8 million and a net surplus of £42.1 million.
The full audited financial statements can be found on our website: https://www.a2dominiongroup.co.uk/about/reports-and-accounts
A2Dominion has seen a return to delivering a strong underlying operating surplus whilst still increasing investment in maintenance and safety. This net surplus of £42.1 million is an increase of £35.7 million from the prior year on the back of an increase in turnover of over 50%. The Group has continued to invest in the maintenance and safety of its homes, spending a total of £64.6 million in the year on its responsive, planned and major repairs programmes.
971 new homes were completed this last year, against a target of 953, despite the challenges in construction, materials, and labour shortages, with over half being affordable tenures.
The last year also saw the Group maintain its A credit rating with Fitch. The business also maintained a regulatory rating of G1/V2 confirmed via an In-Depth Assessment.
A2Dominion Group's Executive Director (Central & Financial Services) and Deputy Chief Executive, Anne Waterhouse, said: "We continue to show clear financial resilience, which means we can attract the investment needed to maintain our existing homes, alongside our new homes programmes. The current external economic environment creates challenges for our organisation and our customers, so our focus is on this financial resilience, and that our customers are safe and secure in their homes."
Overall, the Group now manages over 39,000 homes across London and southern England, with 3,300 homes in the development pipeline. All profits generated by the Group are reinvested into supporting its social purpose providing new homes and continuing to invest in existing homes and services.
Other achievements set out in the Annual Report include:
