Final Results
MOUNTVIEW ESTATES P.L.C.
Preliminary Results for the year ended 31 March 2017
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S STATEMENT
When I was writing this statement last year we had suffered the
immediate effects of the 3% increase in stamp duty and were
continuing to suffer the on-going effects of it. We had also
suffered the uncertainties of the referendum campaign and were now
being warned about the possible effects of "Brexit". Whilst some of
the trade figures have been encouraging since the "Brexit" vote, we
have since had the uncertainties generated by a general election
campaign. The general election result has done nothing to inspire
the confidence that we all crave.
With continuing uncertainties in the macro-economic situation we
must rely upon our own sound strategies to ensure further
prosperity for the Company. We keep our gearing low and are thus
able to take advantage of good purchasing opportunities when they
occur. We have made more purchases in the financial year ended 31
March 2017 compared with the previous year and with strong sales
revenue since 1 October 2016 we have come close to matching the
outstanding results of year ended 31 March 2016.
With these very sound results we are able to maintain the total
dividends for the year at 300 pence per share which are still more
than three times covered. The recommended final dividend of 100
pence per share in respect of the year ended 31 March 2017 will be
payable on 14 August 2017 to shareholders on the Register of
Members as at 14 July 2017.
Many of my staff have shown outstanding loyalty and have played
major roles in bringing the Company to its present position of
great strength. I respect also those who have brought their talents
to the Company more recently. Together they make a wonderful team
and I believe that we can look forward to the future with
confidence.
