1 FINANCIAL REVIEW Profit before tax and earnings per share The Group generated turnover of 478.9m in the year ended 30 June 2012 (2011: 452.7m). This reflected a 15% increase in the average selling price of our homes. Revenue ( m) Residential Land sales Commercial The Group delivered an operating profit of 48.0m (2011: 31.2m), an increase of 54% on prior year levels and representing a 10% operating margin (2011: 6.9%). It is pleasing to report that operating margin has increased over threefold between 2010 and 2012 as we continue to make significant strides forward in returning our operating margin to pre downturn levels. Net financing costs at 5.0m were 0.9m lower than the previous year reflecting lower bank interest costs as a result of lower average gearing levels throughout the year. The Group generated a profit before tax of 43.0m, a 70% increase on the prior year (2011: 25.3m). Basic earnings per share were 9.7p (2011: 4.4p). Basic earnings per share excluding the impact of rate changes on our deferred tax assets were up 80% to 10.8p (2011: 6.0p). The Return on Capital Employed for 2012 at 8.7% is 43% higher than 2011 levels and we continue to focus on improving this key performance indicator. Tax As a consequence of tax losses brought forward, the Group again paid no corporation tax in the year (2011: 0.5m refund on earlier overpayment). This situation is expected to continue in The Group's tax rate for the year was 25.5% (2011: 27.5%) before taking into account the reduction in the corporation tax rate to 24% on deferred tax assets ( 3.5m (2011: 4.8m)). A deferred tax asset of 51.8m (2011: 63.8m) was carried at 24% at 30 June 2012, primarily in relation to brought forward tax losses, for use against future profits. A corporation tax rate of 23% applicable from 1 April 2013 was substantively enacted on 3 July The carrying value of the deferred tax asset based on a 23% rate would be 49.6m. The 2.2m difference between this number and the closing balance will be charged to the Consolidated Income Statement in the first half of the 2013 financial year. The normalised rate of tax for the year ending 30 June 2013 is projected to be 23.75% based on rates which are currently substantively enacted.

2 Dividends No dividends have been proposed in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2012 (2011: nil). However, in line with the statement made in the prospectus for the Firm Placing and Open Offer, subject to economic circumstances, we intend to resume dividend payments in the 2013 financial year. Balance Sheet Net assets at June 2012 were 561.5m (2011: 458.6m), a 22% increase as follows: m Net assets at 1 July Net proceeds of Firm Placing and Open Offer 78.0 Profit for the period 30.2 IAS19 actuarial losses net of tax (6.0) Movement in share based payment In May, the Group successfully completed a Firm Placing and Open Offer for 14,902,867 and 46,289,592 new shares respectively at 130 pence per new share. This generated 78.0m of funds net of 1.6m expenses of which 6.1m has been credited to Share capital and 71.9m to Retained earnings. The net asset value per share at the end of June 2012 was 1.52, an increase of 5% on the prior year (2011: 1.45) adjusting for the recent share issue. Our investment in land increased by 138.1m in the year to 515.9m reflecting a 12% increase in plots owned with residential planning permission and targeted investment in strategic land. Our investment in work in progress continues to be carefully managed with the number of equivalent units in work in progress excluding London reducing for the third consecutive year to 1,048 units (a 15% reduction on June 2011 levels). Trade and other receivables decreased by 16.4m during the year to 53.2m. The decrease related primarily to the receipt of 12.3m of deferred consideration from the disposal of our Scotland business which took place in June Capital employed increased by 41.5m to 575.5m mainly due to increases in land holdings. Our net realisable value (NRV) provision reduced by 46.8m to 111.5m in the year due to legal completions and land sales. Land creditors increased by 63.5m to 108.3m in the year as a result of c.60% of land purchases in the year including some element of deferred purchase consideration. Pensions Redrow closed both the defined benefit and defined contribution sections of The Redrow Staff Pension Scheme (The Scheme) to future accrual with effect from 1 March New pension benefits from this date are being provided via the Redrow Group Personal Pension Plan (GPP) which is a type of defined contribution plan.

3 As at 30 June 2012, the Group s financial statements showed a 2.6m deficit (2011: 5.0m surplus) in respect of the defined benefits section of The Scheme, as calculated in accordance with IAS19. The 7.6m movement from last year is due to an increase in defined benefit obligations resulting from changes in bond yields. Cash flow and Net Debt Net debt decreased by 61.4m to 14.0m during the year, with gearing at 2% at the year-end (2011: 16%). This reflects the timing of the receipt of proceeds from the Firm Placing and Open Offer in May. Gearing has increased since June 2012 and is expected to rise going forward due to investment in new land to grow the business. Financing and Treasury Management Redrow is a UK based housebuilder and therefore the main focus of its financial risk management surrounds the management of liquidity and interest rate risk. (i) Liquidity The Group regularly prepares and reviews its cash flow forecasts which are used to manage liquidity risks in conjunction with the maintenance of appropriate committed banking facilities to ensure adequate headroom. Facilities are kept under regular review and the Group maintains regular contact with its banks and other financial institutions. This ensures Redrow remains attuned to new developments and opportunities and that our facilities remain aligned to our strategic and operational objectives and market conditions. Our current banking syndicate comprises four banks and in addition to our committed facilities, Redrow also has further uncommitted bank facilities which are used to assist day to day cash management. (ii) Interest rate risk The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as it borrows money at floating rates. Redrow uses simple risk management products, notably sterling denominated interest rate swaps, as appropriate to manage this risk. Such products are not used for speculative or trading purposes. Redrow regularly reviews its hedging requirements. During the year the Board decided, taking into account current predicted LIBOR rates and the pricing of interest rate swaps, to take out 20m of two year sterling interest rate swaps. They have a neutral value at 30 June Financial management at Redrow is conducted centrally using policies approved by the Board. Barbara Richmond Group Finance Director

Inventories As at 30 June Land for development Work in progress Stock of showhomes Inventories of 373.2m net of 46.7m net realisable value provision utilisation, were expensed in the year (2011: 415.4m net of 95.5m net realisable value provision). Work in progress includes 9.7m (2011: 7.2m) in respect of part exchange properties. Of the net realisable value provision of 111.5m (2011: 158.3m), 88.2m (2011: 135.0m) is attributed to land and 23.3m (2011: 23.3m) is attributed to work in progress. For provisioning purposes, we classify our inventory into two categories: Type 1: land where the construction of homes has commenced or we are proposing to develop. Type 2: land that we have not yet concluded that we are to develop and are more likely to sell.

11 The net realisable value provision movement is analysed below: Type 1 Type 2 Total m As at 1 July Utilised during the year (40.3) (6.4) (46.7) Created during the year Reclassified during the year 6.3 (6.3) - Released during the year (17.7) (4.5) (22.2) As at 30 June The net realisable value provisions of 22.1m and 22.2m created and released in the year are the result of our review at the balance sheet date in the context of prevailing market conditions and the re-assessment of selling prices and costs. They represent the creation of additional provisions against sites acquired pre June 2009 and the reduction of provisions already in place against such sites as required i.e. a reallocation of the quantum of provision amongst sites where provisions already exist. 6.
