Debt-laden Carillion warns on profit, covenant

Reuters - UK Focus

Nov 17 (Reuters) - British builder Carillion (Frankfurt: 924047 - news) issued its third profit warning this year and said it would breach its financial covenant.

"A combination of delays to certain PPP (Public–Private Partnership (LSE: 130756.L - news) ) disposals, a slippage in the commencement date of a significant project in the Middle East and lower-than-expected margin improvements across a small number of UK Support Services contracts....will lead to profits for the year being materially lower than current market expectations," Carillion said in a statement.

It also said it expects average net borrowing in 2017 to be 875-925 million pounds and that this coupled with the latest forecasts would mean a covenant breach as of Dec (Shanghai: 600875.SS - news) . 31.
