Next Nexus Infrastructure Dividend

Nexus Infrastructure next goes ex-dividend on 26/03/2026. This will be the Final dividend for 2026.

Dividend Summary

Cover and Cash Support

Earnings cover: not covered (FY25 EPS (26.3)p; loss after tax £2.38m).
Cash support: net cash £10.9m (no bank debt) and operating cash flow c. £4.2m comfortably exceed the c. £0.27m annual dividend.
Lease liabilities: £11.5m (interest £0.7m; cash lease outflow £2.33m), which absorb cash but are manageable relative to cash balance and order book.

Policy and Trajectory

Policy: Board continues a small, stable dividend (3.0p total) “in line with the last two years.”
Growth: No increase this year; future growth likely contingent on returning to sustained profitability and cash generation from the enlarged, more diversified group.

Operational and Financial Backdrop

Revenue +16% to £65.9m; gross margin improved to 15.6%; operating loss (pre-exceptional) narrowed to £1.1m.
Order book up 62% to £83.4m, improving revenue visibility into FY26.
Tamdown margins improved to 14.0%; Coleman averaged 31% gross margin.
Net assets: £27.3m; no bank debt; strong cash discipline and reduced central costs.

Structural Changes and Capital Allocation

M&A: Acquisition of Coleman Construction & Utilities (Oct 2024) for up to £5.4m (cash outflow £2.9m in FY25; potential contingent consideration up to £1.3m). This diversifies into higher-margin, less cyclical water/rail and is expected to ramp with AMP8 (2025–2030).
Historic capital return: Significant share cancellation in FY23; current share count stable at 9.03m.

Analyst View: Sustainability and Risks

Sustainability: The dividend is cash-covered and modest relative to £10.9m cash, but not covered by earnings. Near-term sustainability rests on continued cash discipline, order book conversion, and Coleman’s AMP8 ramp.
Growth prospects: Flat for a third year. Meaningful growth likely requires Nexus to move back to operating profit and sustain Tamdown margin gains while scaling Coleman through AMP8.
Key supports: Rising order book, improving margins, diversified sector exposure post-acquisition, and absence of bank debt.
Flags/Risks: Ongoing operating losses; timing/execution risk around housebuilding recovery and AMP8 mobilisation; sizeable lease obligations; potential cash outflow from contingent consideration; sector receivables risk (albeit overdue debts reduced); lack of committed debt facilities could constrain flexibility if trading softens.
