Group Operating Surplus Bridge Net Surplus Bridge
Retirement Housing – Decrease as a result of higher repairs expenditure in the year and 1% rent reduction. Extra Care – increase is driven by the full year impact of new properties from 2017/18, affordable rent conversions and acquisitions. Development property sales – despite 19 properties being sold in 2018/19 versus 8 in 2017/18, the increase in surplus is relatively modest as a result of the profile of properties sold in the year being at lower margins. Corporate – increase in spend largely driven by wage and head count inflation. Goodwill – a one-off charge in 2018/19 based on the decision to write-off goodwill arising from the Goldsborough acquisition. Interest receivable – increase as a result of high cash balances being held
Interest payable – the increase in costs is largely driven by the full year impact of having £250m bond financing versus five months in 2017/18.
