The Johns Lyng Group Ltd (ASX: JLG) share price is heading south during early afternoon trade on Friday.
This comes as a couple of insiders have decided sell off a portion of their shares.
At the time of writing, the building services group's shares are down 4.34% to $5.95.
Management offloads shares
In today's statement, Johns Lyng revealed that Scott Didier and Lindsay Barber have both sold shares in the company.
Managing director and group CEO Didier disposed of 1 million Johns Lyng shares on market at $6.25 apiece.
Following the transaction, Didier now holds more than 53.31 million fully paid ordinary Johns Lyng shares. This equates to a holding of around 20.6% on the company's registry.
In addition, executive director and group chief operating officer Barber also reduced his portfolio with 1 million shares sold. The price received per Johns Lyng share was $6.65.
After completing the sale, Barber retains almost 12.82 million shares in the company. His current holding represents 4.95% on Johns Lyng's books.
The company stated the pair sold these shares to manage their personal asset portfolios.
On a separate note, Didier recently relocated to the United States to leverage a number of opportunities. This comes after the company acquired Reconstruction Experts for US$144 million in December 2021.
Barber's role includes oversight of operations in Australia and the United States.
The company is still assessing the financial impact of the recent catastrophic weather-related events in Queensland and New South Wales.
Although it is too early to ascertain the cost, at this stage, management has reaffirmed its previous FY22 earnings guidance.
As such, sales revenue for the full year is expected to be $802.4 million, up from $481.8 million in FY21.
Furthermore, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) is forecast to reach $78.7 million in FY22. This reflects an 84% increase on the prior corresponding period (FY21: $42.7 million).
