The company on Thursday said full year revenue was expected to be 5% ahead of 2021’s £8.3bn and lifted cash-flow guidance to £800m from £740-£780m.
Balfour’s year-end order book is expected to be around 5% ahead of the prior year’s £16.1bn, largely due to favourable foreign exchange movements, while full-year underlying operating profit from earnings-based businesses is expected to be in line with guidance at the half year.
