Debt reduction strategy pays dividends

Springfield  Properties (SPR ) has  returned  to  paying  dividends  earlier  than  we expected as a result of its focus on debt reduction over the past year and in its confidence, as signs grow of a recovering sales market in Scotland. FY24 results, to 31 May, were slightly ahead of our estimates. The Groupconfirmsit  expects  to  meet  expectations  for  FY25E,  while  we  have  introduced estimates for the following two years, which assume continued growth.
