£5.5m cash disposal of non-core land

Highlights:

- Disposal of non-core land for total cash consideration of £5.5m

- Net profit on sale over historic book value of £1.5m

- Company proposes to use the cash consideration to reduce net debt.

SigmaRoc, the AIM quoted buy-and-build construction materials group, is pleased to announce it has disposed of a non-core plot of land for cash consideration of £5.5m. Its historical book value was £4m, resulting in a net profit on disposal of £1.5m.

The land holdings formed part of the group's SigmaPPG platform and the Board considered that they were no longer of strategic value to the Company. As a result of the sale, the Company's gearing ratios are expected to be significantly reduced.

The additional cash realised from the disposal affords the Company additional flexibility, as it evaluates its acquisition pipeline and continues to optimise its capital structure.
