Cash generation accelerating shareholder returns

Springfield has announced a share buyback programme, for the on-market purchase of up to c.6m ordinary shares (c.5% of issued share capital), subject to shareholder approval at a General Meeting.

Share buybacks are being announced with increasing frequency amongst UK housebuilders, with Barratt Redrow notably launching a £400m programme last month. For Springfield, this follows a period of strong cash generation and, in our view, represents an effective use of capital, given a c.25% discount to NAV. We expect buybacks to complement the Group’s existing dividend policy.

We make no changes to our EPS forecasts at this stage, pending the outcome of the General Meeting, but note that, indicatively, the buyback of c.6m ordinary shares would prompt a c.5% EPS upgrade on an annualised basis.

In our view, Springfield has positive momentum and we reiterate our 170p/share Fair Value estimate.
