Chief Executive’s review
We are pleased with our strong performance in FY24, having delivered record revenue, operating margin expansion and a good return on invested capital. Mitie is a cash generative business with a robust balance sheet, and we are committed to investing in accelerated growth, as well as returning surplus funds to shareholders via share buybacks.
Our strategy and targets
Our new Three-Year Plan (FY25 – FY27) pivots the business from traditional Facilities Management to technology-driven Facilities Transformation. Mitie is the market leader in the UK, with deep capabilities to aggregate workflow and workforce data across the built environment, and a trusted partner to thousands of blue-chip public and private sector organisations. We have advanced our core capabilities through targeted investments in technology and strategic M&A, alongside the work of our exceptional colleagues, to meet the changing needs of our customers.
Our customers are looking for asset optimisation, a reduced carbon footprint and higher levels of assurance for security and cleanliness, whilst embracing hybrid-working and creating a ‘Great Place to Work’. This all requires cyber-secure data driven insights to inform better decision-making.
These needs for transformation are underpinned by attractive macro trends, including decarbonisation, the modernisation of the built environment, and changes in legislation and the regulatory landscape, that benefit both our core service lines and Projects business.
Our ambitious financial targets (based on alternative performance measures) for our new Facilities Transformation Three-Year Plan are set out below and are designed to deliver enhanced shareholder returns over the period.
- High single digit revenue compound annual growth rate
- 5% operating margin by FY27
- EBITDA >£300m by FY27
- EPS growth above that of revenue growth, despite higher corporation tax rates
- £150m annual free cash flow by FY27
