- The company launched a EUR65 million share buyback program and achieved a strong EPS increase of 112%, demonstrating a commitment to shareholder returns.

- The company's innovation in offsite manufacturing and standardization has led to increased efficiency, speed, and cost control, contributing to margin expansion.
- Glenveagh's partnership segment saw significant growth, generating EUR120 million in revenue, up from EUR17 million in 2023, with plans for further expansion in 2025 and beyond.
- There are challenges in the housing delivery due to the need for substantial additional capital, adequately zoned land, public sector resources, and critical infrastructure.
- The company faces constraints in infrastructure, particularly with Irish Water and grid challenges, which could impact future developments.
- The land market dynamics show limited availability of zoned land, which could pose challenges for future acquisitions and development.
- Glenveagh's operating cash outflow for the year was EUR93.4 million, compared to an inflow of EUR50.9 million in 2023, reflecting increased land investment.
- The company's net debt position increased to EUR179 million, or 15% of gross assets, which, while within the guided range, indicates a higher leverage.
