Publication of interim trading statement for Onward Homes Limited for the period 1^st April 2025 - 30th September 2025.

Onward Homes Limited (OHL) is the charitable registered provider of social housing within the Onward Group. Onward Group Limited (OGL) is the parent entity in the Onward Group and is a non-charitable registered provider of social housing.

A consolidated trading update has today been published and is available for viewing on Onward's website.

OHL has made a net surplus before tax for 2025/26 H1 of £15.9m (2024/25 H1: £9.1m) equating to an operating surplus (excluding fixed asset sales) of 19.7% (2024/25 H1: 14.8%). This is driven by a 4.5% increase in rental income and a 1.2% reduction in operating costs due to reduced volumes of maintenance works in H1 which is continuing in H2. Strategic asset sales remain strong and have increased 9% versus the same period last year and continue to present additional financial capacity for targeted investment. Expenditure is forecasted to increase in the latter half of the year, but forecasted performance remains in line with budget and covenant compliance.
