Retail property owner Hammerson reported a rise in adjusted earnings as the easing of Covid restrictions saw a rebound of footfall to its shopping centres.
The company on Friday reported earnings of £81m, up from £37m a year ago. Gross rental income fell to £241.6m from £287m due to disposals during the year. Hammerson’s loss for the year on an IFRS basis narrowed to £430m form £1.7bn.
Hammerson declared a final dividend of 0.2p a share, with a scrip dividend alternative of 2p, in line with a year earlier.
