UK housebuilder Telford Homes posted record revenues over the past year but its pre-tax profits fell as it shifted its focus towards the less risky, lower-return rental sector.
Revenues at the Aim-listed company rose 12% to £354.3m in the year ended March 31, but pre-tax profits fell from £46m to £40.1m, according to its annual results published on Wednesday.
Its shares fell nearly 5% in response, to 288p by mid afternoon.
