Default How to stop time format changing when I merge cell contents?

I am trying to merge to time cells, (both set to English (United States),
Time Type 13:30) both cells display correctly where I entered them (9:00 and
9:45) but when I merge the cell contents using the function =A4&" - "&B4 I
get the result 0.375 - 0.406 instead of 9:00 - 9:45 as expected. The
destination cell has the same time settings as the two original cells.

How do I stop the times converting to decimals and get them to display the
way I want them too?
