Lendlease – Challenging Year

Lendlease has warned of a challenging year to come as COVID-19 puts a dampener on development and construction globally.

FY21 net profit after tax of $377 million was in line with the company’s guidance, largely due to divesting its loss-making engineering and services.

We expect to see an improvement in earnings towards the end of FY22.
