Kinovo PLC (AIM:KINO, OTC:BILBF) shares dipped 10% to 55.95p on Friday as the specialist property services firm warned several delays meant the costs of its legacy projects have surged.
Due to extreme weather and inherited remedial works, net project costs from its discontinued construction division have jumped to £7.1 million for the year so far, the company updated on Friday.
Although three of these legacy projects relating to the DCB Kent wing have now been completed, a further four face delays, Kinovo said.
“Kinovo is seeking to recover some of the additional costs incurred through claims and recoveries,” the firm added, but pre-tax net costs to completion will mark a “material increase” on previous estimates of £5.72 million.
Shares fell 9.76% to 55.95p on the news.
