Fletcher Building Advances Strategic Focus Through Construction Divestment

Fletcher Building Limited (ASX: FBU) has entered into a binding agreement to sell its Construction Division to global infrastructure group VINCI Construction for an enterprise value of NZ$315.6 million, with the potential to rise to NZ$334.1 million subject to contract outcomes. The transaction represents a key milestone in Fletcher Building’s strategy to sharpen its focus on building products manufacturing and distribution, while strengthening its balance sheet and capital discipline. The divestment includes major New Zealand construction businesses Higgins, Brian Perry Civil, and Fletcher Construction Major Projects, while excluding South Pacific operations and certain legacy obligations retained by Fletcher Building. Completion of the transaction will depend on obtaining the necessary regulatory clearances and is anticipated to be finalised before the close of the 2026 calendar year. Approximately 2,300 employees will transition with the business, ensuring continuity for clients and partners. Management views VINCI as a strong long-term owner, given its global expertise, local presence, and commitment to New Zealand’s infrastructure pipeline.
