Fletcher Building drops annual result bombshell, flags $196m loss
Fletcher Building will make a $196 million loss due to the effect the pandemic has taken on the business, a reversal of fortunes after last year's $164m profit.
Chief executive Ross Taylor this morning updated the market ahead of Wednesday's full-year result to June 30, 2020.
He cited three factors which would reduce operating earings by $150m:
- Half the losses are due to reduced productivities from key legacy projects "significantly disrupted" by Covid-19;
- 20 per cent due to issues from "a handful of historically completed" projects;
- 30 per cent due to "a prudent risk provision" across the portfolio of legacy work.

Lockerbie estate to add over 800 homes on Morrinsville farm site
A massive Waikato dairy farm which has been in operation since 1873 is about to be converted into something a bit different.
Seventy-nine hectares, of a 12,000 hectare farm on Studholme Street in Morrinsville, went up for sale in January 2018 after the Matamata-Piako District Council’s operative District Plan rezoned the farmland for future residential use.
Now a massive 860 residential urban expansion, dubbed Lockerbie Estate has sold its 11th residential home.
