The Group uses 'underlying profit' in its internal financial reporting to distinguish between ongoing business performance and non-trading items, as more fully described in note 7 to the condensed financial statements.  Management considers this to be a key measure which provides additional information to enhance understanding of the Group's underlying business performance.

#  At 30th June 2016 and 31st December 2015, respectively.  Net asset value per share is based on the book value of shareholders' funds.

+ The accounts have been restated due to a change in accounting policy upon adoption of the amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 'Agriculture: Bearer Plants', as set out in note 1 to the condensed financial statements.

The interim dividend of US¢38.00 per share will be payable on 12th October 2016 to shareholders on the register of members at the close of business on 19th August 2016 and will be available in cash with a scrip alternative.

 

 

Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited

Half-Yearly Results for the Six Months ended 30th June 2016

 

Overview

Jardine Matheson's underlying profit for the first half of 2016 was lower as market conditions remained challenging.  There were improved results from Jardine Motors, Jardine Cycle & Carriage, Dairy Farm and certain operations within Jardine Pacific, a solid performance from Hongkong Land, but declines in Mandarin Oriental and Jardine Lloyd Thompson.  Within Astra, weaker commodity prices impacted a number of businesses and the contribution from financial services was also reduced, which was partly offset by generally improved performances in its automotive businesses.

 

Results

Jardine Matheson's underlying profit for the first six months of 2016 was US$636 million, 4% below the same period in 2015. Underlying earnings per share were down 5% at US$1.70.  The revenue of the Group, including 100% of the revenue from associates and joint ventures, was US$34.6 billion, compared to US$31.5 billion in the first half of 2015.

 

Non-trading items in the first half represented a gain of US$348 million, primarily in respect of revaluations of investment properties, compared with a non-trading gain of US$42 million in the first half of 2015.  Accordingly, the Group's profit attributable to shareholders was US$984 million for the six months under review, compared with US$708 million in 2015.

 

The Board has declared an unchanged interim dividend of US¢38.00 per share.

 

Business Performances

Jardine Pacific saw steady performances from most of its businesses.  The results at Jardine Schindler and JEC were stable, and there were improved performances from the group's restaurant and IT activities.  While Gammon's profit for the period was lower, its order book remains strong at US$4.1 billion.

 

Jardine Motors produced good profit growth mainly due to improved trading conditions in mainland China.  There was a weaker performance in Hong Kong, while in the United Kingdom a steady trading result was enhanced by a gain on a dealership sale.

 

JLT saw a decline in its trading profit as an improved performance in Risk & Insurance was offset by a lower contribution from Employee Benefits, where the structural changes in the UK business are being addressed.  JLT's client wins are encouraging, and it is seeing significant financial benefit from collaboration between its Specialty operations around the world.

 

Hongkong Land's commercial portfolio provided a stable contribution as it benefited from lower levels of vacancy.  In the residential sector, profits from mainland China remained steady, although there was a reduced contribution from Singapore due to the timing of project completions.  Work is progressing well on the group's commercial and residential developments across the region.

 

Dairy Farm performed satisfactorily in the first half with modest sales growth at constant rates of exchange in all its divisions. Underlying profit improved despite tough trading conditions as higher contributions from Food, Home Furnishings, Restaurants and Yonghui offset a weaker performance from its Health and Beauty division.  Benefits are starting to be seen from the investments it is making in areas such as store enhancement, private label products, information systems and supply chain infrastructure.

 

Mandarin Oriental faced a challenging environment in a number of its key markets, including Hong Kong, leading to lower earnings for the period.  The group, which currently operates  29 hotels and eight residences, has a strong pipeline of projects under development.  

 

Jardine Cycle & Carriage produced good profit growth from its directly held motor operations and recorded a six month contribution from Siam City Cement, compared with three months in 2015.  Nevertheless, its overall result was lower due to reduced earnings in Astra coupled with a softer rupiah exchange rate on consolidation.  Astra's net income for the period fell, despite higher automotive profits, as weak commodity prices adversely affected its heavy equipment, mining contracting and agribusiness operations, and a significant increase in loan-loss provisions at Permata Bank led to a lower contribution from financial services.

 

People

We were saddened by the death of Lord Leach in June 2016.  He made a significant contribution to the Group over 33 years and his wise counsel will be greatly missed.

 

Jeremy Parr joined the Board in February 2016.  James Riley stepped down as Group Finance Director at the end of March 2016 and was replaced by John Witt.  David Hsu joined the Board in May 2016.  On 1st August 2016, Adam Keswick will move from Hong Kong to Matheson & Co. in London, while remaining on the Board.  Y.K. Pang will take up the position of Deputy Managing Director.

 

Outlook

We expect the recent performances by most of the Group's businesses to be maintained in the second half and that the Company will achieve a satisfactory result for the full year.

 

Sir Henry Keswick

Chairman

 

 

Operating Review

 

Jardine Pacific

Jardine Pacific's underlying profit for the first half of 2016 was US$54 million, down from US$56 million last year largely due to the sale of its shipping business in 2015.  The results from Jardine Schindler and JEC were stable.  Gammon's earnings were down, although its order book remains strong at US$4.1 billion, up from US$3.5 billion at the end of last year.  There was a lower contribution from transport services.  Jardine Restaurants' operations produced higher sales and profits in Taiwan, but it faced more difficult trading in Hong Kong. The technology services activities of JTH Group saw modest profit growth.

 

Jardine Motors

Jardine Motors achieved an underlying profit up 50% at US$49 million.  Zung Fu produced a good performance in mainland China with higher deliveries of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars and strong growth in the after-sales business, although in Hong Kong and Macau the business faced declining vehicle sales and reduced margins.  In the United Kingdom, a trading profit in line with last year was achieved together with a gain on the sale of a dealership.

 

In mainland China, Zhongsheng saw an increase in new car sales volumes and a higher contribution from after sales.  In April 2016, Zhongsheng added 18 dealership stores via the acquisition of a 65% stake in Jiahua Weiye.  Zhongsheng remains well placed as the market continues to consolidate.

 

Jardine Lloyd Thompson

JLT's total revenue for the period was US$881 million, an increase of 5% in its reporting currency.  Its underlying trading profit decreased by 4%, in its reporting currency, to US$140 million.  This reflects both the lower revenues of its Employee Benefits business in the United Kingdom and the planned development cost of its Specialty business in the United States.  JLT's contribution to the Group's underlying profit was 27% lower, after aligning the accounting treatment of the restructuring costs in the Employee Benefits business to that of the Group and reflecting the weaker sterling exchange rate.

 

JLT's Risk & Insurance businesses produced an 8% increase in revenues with good performances seen in its Specialty and Reinsurance businesses as well as in its operations in Asia and Latin America.  The Employee Benefits operations saw revenues decline 5% overall due to the previously reported structural changes in the UK pensions industry and a slow-down in client activity.

 

Hongkong Land

Hongkong Land's underlying profit attributable to shareholders for the six months was US$393 million, compared with US$419 million in 2015.  The profit attributable to shareholders was US$1,263 million after accounting for a net gain of US$870 million arising on the valuation of the group's investment properties.  This compares with a profit of US$513 million in 2015, after a valuation net gain of US$94 million.

 

In Hong Kong, office vacancy in the group's Central office portfolio was 3.1% at 30th June 2016, compared with 3.4% at the end of 2015, and office rental reversions were positive.  Its Central retail portfolio remained fully occupied, and while base rental reversions continued to be positive, the average retail rent declined due to a lower turnover element.  In Singapore, vacancy was 1.0%, compared with 3.0% at the end of 2015, as previously committed space was taken up.  In Beijing, its luxury retail complex at Wangfujing is on schedule to open in the first half of 2017.  In Jakarta, work on the fifth tower at the group's 50%-owned joint venture, Jakarta Land, is on schedule.

 

In the residential sector, Hongkong Land's projects in mainland China continued to perform well, and the group's attributable interest in contracted sales in the first six months remained robust.  In Singapore, no projects were completed in the first half of 2016, while the fully-sold J Gateway project is due for completion in the second half.  Pre-sales continue at the LakeVille and Sol Acres projects, which are due to complete in 2017 and 2018, respectively.  Of Hongkong Land's other residential developments, progress is being made in its joint venture projects in Indonesia and the Philippines.

 

Dairy Farm

Dairy Farm's sales for the period, excluding associates and joint ventures, declined 1%, although rose 2% at constant rates of exchange.  Sales were affected by the closure of a number of underperforming stores in Singapore and Indonesia.  Underlying net profit at US$199 million was 3% above the same period last year, or up 5% at constant rates of exchange, benefiting from an additional contribution from Yonghui.   

 

In the Food division, Hong Kong was affected by increases in rental and labour costs, while Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore achieved improved profitability.  Sales were maintained, but profits were lower in Malaysia.  The group's convenience store operations performed satisfactorily in a difficult trading environment.  The Health and Beauty division produced lower profits due to decreases in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Macau, although sales growth was seen in mainland China and progress was made in Indonesia and the Philippines.  In the Home Furnishings division, IKEA performed well, producing growth in both sales and profits, and store expansion opportunities are being pursued in all three of its markets.  In the Restaurant division, Maxim's maintained its impressive track record with increased sales and profits in Hong Kong and mainland China.

 

The group is to invest a further US$191 million in Yonghui in the third quarter to maintain its 19.99% interest following the placement by Yonghui of a 10% shareholding to JD.com.  Yonghui reported 18% revenue growth in the first half.

 

Mandarin Oriental

Mandarin Oriental's underlying profit for the first half was US$25 million, compared with US$33 million in 2015.  Profit attributable to shareholders was US$23 million, compared with US$32 million in 2015, after deducting acquisition transaction costs in both periods.

 

The group experienced softer demand across many of its key markets, particularly in Hong Kong, London and Paris.  There was also an adverse impact of a rooms renovation programme in Washington D.C.  The group benefited from a positive trading environment in Tokyo and a return to normal operations in Munich following a public area renovation.  The results also benefited from a profit contribution from Mandarin Oriental, Boston, following the US$140 million acquisition in April 2016 of the hotel property, which the group had managed since its opening.

 

The previously announced 18 month renovation of Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London is due to begin in September 2016.  The next hotel opening will be in Doha in the first half of 2017.  The group has recently announced that it will brand and manage luxury residences adjacent to Mandarin Oriental, Bali, which are expected to complete at the same time as the hotel opens in mid-2018.

 

Jardine Cycle & Carriage

Jardine Cycle & Carriage reported an underlying profit for the period of US$332 million, down 8%, while its profit attributable to shareholders of US$328 million was 9% lower.  Astra contributed US$249 million to the group's underlying profit, a 15% reduction which was due in part to a 3% weaker average rupiah exchange rate in the first half.

 

The group's non-Astra motor interests produced a profit of US$78 million, up 13%.  In Vietnam, Truong Hai Auto Corporation's earnings rose on higher unit sales, although margins suffered from competitive pressures.  Earnings at the Singapore motor operations improved, while the contribution from Malaysia was slightly lower.  In Indonesia, Tunas Ridean achieved an improved profit from motor vehicles and financing activities.  The contribution from associates, Siam City Cement in Thailand and Refrigeration Electrical Engineering Corporation in Vietnam, increased by 29% to US$15 million.  This was mainly due to the incorporation of a half year's results of Siam City Cement, compared to three months in 2015 following the acquisition of the shareholding interest in April of that year.

 

Astra

Astra reported a net profit equivalent to US$530 million under Indonesian accounting standards, 12% down in its reporting currency.  Astra's net income fell, despite higher automotive profits that benefited from new model launches, as weak commodity prices adversely affected its heavy equipment, mining contracting and agribusiness operations and there was a lower contribution from financial services.

 

The wholesale market for cars in Indonesia rose 1% in the period, while Astra's car sales were 4% higher at 273,000 units, increasing its market share from 50% to 51%.  There was a 7% contraction in the wholesale market for motorcycles, while Astra Honda Motor's domestic sales were 1% higher at 2.2 million units, increasing its market share from 67% to 73%.  Net income at Astra Otoparts, the group's component business, was little changed for the period.

 

Net income from Astra's financial services businesses was down 40% to US$93 million.  The consumer finance operations increased the amount financed by 13% to US$2.7 billion.  Financing in the heavy equipment sector declined 11% to US$140 million.  Astra's 45%-held joint venture, Permata Bank, reported a net loss of US$62 million for the period compared to a net income of US$64 million in the previous year due to significant increases in loan-loss provisions.  To strengthen further its capital base, Permata Bank completed a US$400 million rights issue in June.  Astra's general insurance company, Asuransi Astra Buana, saw net income down 17%, primarily due to reduced investment earnings.  Further customer growth was seen at Astra's life insurance joint venture with Aviva plc.

 

United Tractors, which is 60%-owned, reported net income 46% lower at US$138 million.  In its construction machinery business, there was a 25% reduction in Komatsu heavy equipment unit sales, while parts and service revenues also declined. The contract mining operations of Pamapersada Nusantara reported a 22% decrease in revenue as contract coal production and overburden removal were both down.  United Tractors' mining subsidiaries reported higher coal sales.  Acset Indonusa, the general construction contractor just over 50%-held, reported an improvement in net income and new contracts of US$178 million secured in the first half.

 

Astra Agro Lestari, which is 80%-owned, reported net income up 78% to US$59 million due to the benefit of the stronger rupiah on the translation of its US dollar monetary liabilities.  Average crude palm oil prices achieved were 4% lower and sales were down 9%, while olein sales were 5% lower.  Astra Agro Lestari raised some US$300 million by way of a rights issue during the period.

 

Net income from infrastructure, logistics and others increased by 156% to US$13 million, mainly due to higher earnings from toll roads, used vehicles and logistics businesses.  The expansion of Astra's toll road interests continues, and they now amount to 227 km including sections planned or under development.  PAM Lyonnaise Jaya, which operates the western Jakarta water utility system, saw sales volume increase 4%.  Serasi Autoraya's net income rose 63% to US$3 million, as higher used vehicle sales and logistics volumes outweighed the reduced activity in its car leasing and rental business.  Anandamaya Residences, the group's 60%-owned luxury residential development in Jakarta's Central Business District, is on schedule for completion in 2018.  Astra Graphia, 77%-owned, which is active in the area of document information and communication technology solutions, reported net income modestly lower.

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

 

 

1.    Accounting Policies and Basis of Preparation

 

The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.  The condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.  The condensed financial statements have not been audited or reviewed by the Group's auditors pursuant to the UK Auditing Practices Board guidance on the review of interim financial information.

 

The following amendments which are effective in the current accounting period and relevant to the Group's operations are adopted in 2016:

 

 

 

 

 

Amendments to IFRS 11

Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint

  Operations

 

Amendments to IAS 1

Disclosure Initiative: Presentation of Financial

  Statements

 

Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38

Clarification of Acceptable Methods of

  Depreciation and Amortization

 

Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41

Agriculture: Bearer Plants

 

Annual Improvements to IFRSs

2012 - 2014 Cycle

 

 

 

 

There have been no changes to the accounting policies described in the 2015 annual financial statements upon the adoption of the above amendments to existing standards, except for the amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41.

 

The adoption of the amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 has resulted in a change in accounting policy for bearer plants.  Previously, plantations were measured at each balance sheet date at their fair values.  In accordance with the amendments, bearer plants in the plantations are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment.  The accounting for produce growing on the bearer plants remains unchanged and is shown at fair value.  The amendments have been applied retrospectively and the comparative financial statements have been restated.

 

The effects of adopting amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 were as follows:

Tax on profits has been calculated at rates of taxation prevailing in the territories in which the Group operates.

 

Share of tax charge of associates and joint ventures of US$105 million and credit of US$14 million (2015: charge of US$135 million and US$4 million) are included in share of results of associates and joint ventures and share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures, respectively.

 

6.    Earnings per Share

 

Basic earnings per share are calculated on profit attributable to shareholders of US$984 million (2015: US$708 million) and on the weighted average number of 374 million (2015: 372 million) shares in issue during the period.

 

Diluted earnings per share are calculated on profit attributable to shareholders of US$984 million (2015: US$707 million), which is after adjusting for the effects of the conversion of dilutive potential ordinary shares of subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and on the weighted average number of 374 million (2015: 373 million) shares after adjusting for the number of shares which are deemed to be issued for no consideration under the Senior Executive Share Incentive Schemes based on the average share price during the period.

 

The weighted average number of shares is arrived at as follows:

Fair value estimation

(i)  Financial instruments that are measured at fair value

For financial instruments that are measured at fair value in the balance sheet, the corresponding fair value measurements are disclosed by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

 

(a)  Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities ('quoted prices in active markets')

The fair values of listed securities, which are classified as available-for-sale, is based on quoted prices in active markets at the balance sheet date.  The quoted market price used for listed investments held by the Group is the current bid price.

 

(b)  Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly ('observable current market transactions')

The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined using rates quoted by the Group's bankers at the balance sheet date.  The rates for interest rate swaps and caps, cross-currency swaps, forward foreign exchange contracts and credit default swaps are calculated by reference to market interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

 

The fair values of unlisted investments, which are classified as available-for-sale and mainly include club and school debentures, are determined using prices quoted by brokers at the balance sheet date.

 

(c)  Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data ('unobservable inputs')

The fair values of other unlisted securities, which are classified as available-for-sale, is determined using valuation techniques by reference to observable current market transactions (including price-to earnings and price-to book ratios of listed securities of entities engaged in similar industries) or the market prices of the underlying investments with certain degree of entity specific estimates.  The fair value of convertible component of convertible bonds held is made reference to the quoted price of the underlying shares and estimation on volatility.

 

There were no changes in valuation techniques during the six months ended 30th June 2016 and the year ended 31st December 2015.

 

The table below analyzes financial instruments carried at fair value at 30th June 2016 and  31st December 2015, by the levels in the fair value measurement hierarchy:

The contingent consideration payable mainly arose from Astra's acquisition of a 60% interest in PT Duta Nurcahya in 2012 and represents the fair value of service fee payable for mining services to be provided by the vendor.

 

(ii) Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value

The fair values of current debtors, bank balances and other liquid funds, current creditors and current borrowings are assumed to approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

 

The fair values of long-term borrowings are based on market prices or are estimated using the expected future payments discounted at market interest rates.

For the subsidiaries acquired during 2016, the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition dates are provisional and will be finalized within one year after the acquisition dates.

 

Net cash outflow for purchase of subsidiaries for the six months ended 30th June 2016 comprised Jardine Motors' acquisition of various motor dealerships in the United Kingdom during the second quarter of 2016.  Goodwill arising from the acquisitions was attributable to the expected synergies with its existing retail network.  None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. 

 

Revenue since acquisition in respect of subsidiaries acquired during the six months ended 30th June 2016 amounted to US$22 million with insignificant contribution to profit after tax.  Had the acquisitions occurred on 1st January 2016, consolidated revenue and consolidated profit after tax for the six months ended  30th June 2016 would have been US$18,219 million and US$2,262 million, respectively.

 

Net cash outflow for the six months ended 30th June 2015 included US$114 million for Dairy Farm's acquisition of a 100% interest in San Miu Supermarket Limited ('San Miu'), which operates a supermarket chain in Macau, in March 2015, and US$59 million for Astra's acquisition of a 50.1% interest in PT Acset Indonusa, a construction company in Indonesia, in May 2015.

 

The goodwill arising from the acquisition of San Miu amounted to US$185 million and was attributable to its leading market position and retail network in Macau.  The goodwill arising from the acquisition of PT Acset Indonusa of US$33 million was attributable to the expected synergies from combining its operations with Astra's existing businesses.  None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

 

(b)   Purchase of associates and joint ventures for the six months ended 30th June 2016 included US$183 million for Astra's subscription to PT Bank Permata's rights issue and US$22 million for Astra's capital injections into certain associates and joint ventures in Indonesia.

 

Purchase for the six months ended 30th June 2015 included US$909 million for Dairy Farm's acquisition of a 19.99% interest in Yonghui Superstores Co., Ltd ('Yonghui'), a Shanghai-listed hypermarket and supermarket operator in mainland China, and US$615 million for Jardine Cycle & Carriage's acquisition of a 24.9% interest in Siam City Cement Public Company Limited, a cement manufacturer in Thailand.

 

(c)   Purchase of other investments for the six months ended 30th June 2016 and 2015 mainly included acquisition of securities by Astra.

 

(d)   Advance to associates and joint ventures for the six months ended 30th June 2015 included Mandarin Oriental's loans to its hotel joint venture.

 

(e)   Advance and repayment from associates and joint ventures for the six months ended 30th June 2016 and 2015 comprised advance and repayment from Hongkong Land's property joint ventures.

 

(f)    Sale of other investment for the six months ended 30th June 2016 and 2015 comprised Astra's sale of securities.

Increase in attributable interests in other subsidiaries for the six months ended 30th June 2015 comprised Dairy Farm's acquisition of an additional 2.49% interest in PT Hero Supermarket.

 

Decrease in attributable interests for the six months ended 30th June 2015 comprised Dairy Farm's sale of a 15% economic interest in GCH Retail (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., reducing its controlling interest to 85%.

 

 

11.  Capital Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

 

Total capital commitments at 30th June 2016 and 31st December 2015 amounted to US$2,050 million and US$2,061 million, respectively.

 

In addition, Dairy Farm entered into an agreement in August 2015 to further invest in Yonghui, by way of subscription of new shares, for a consideration of RMB1.29 billion (approximately US$194 million) as part of capital injection involving two other investors.  Following the adjustment for the one for one bonus issue of shares by Yonghui on its ex-dividend date in June 2016, the adjusted consideration was RMB1.27 billion (approximately US$191 million).  Upon the completion of the capital injection, Dairy Farm's interest in Yonghui will remain at 19.99%.  The investment requires certain regulatory approvals in mainland China, and completion is expected in the third quarter of 2016.

 

Various Group companies are involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of their respective businesses.  Having reviewed outstanding claims and taking into account legal advice received, the Directors are of the opinion that adequate provisions have been made in the condensed financial statements.

 

12.  Related Party Transactions

 

In the normal course of business the Group undertakes a variety of transactions with certain of its associates and joint ventures.

 

The most significant of such transactions relate to the purchases of motor vehicles and spare parts from the Group's associates and joint ventures in Indonesia including PT Toyota-Astra Motor, PT Astra Honda Motor and PT Astra Daihatsu Motor.  Total cost of motor vehicles and spare parts purchased for the six months ended 30th June 2016 amounted to US$2,474 million (2015: US$2,848 million).  The Group also sells motor vehicles and spare parts to its associates and joint ventures in Indonesia including PT Astra Honda Motor, PT Astra Daihatsu Motor and PT Tunas Ridean.  Total revenue from sales of motor vehicles and spare parts for the six months ended 30th June 2016 amounted to US$288 million (2015: US$438 million).

 

PT Bank Permata provides banking services to the Group.  The Group's deposits with PT Bank Permata at 30th June 2016 amounted to US$480 million (2015: US$381 million).

 

There were no other related party transactions that might be considered to have a material effect on the financial position or performance of the Group that were entered into or changed during the first six months of the current financial year.

 

Amounts of outstanding balances with associates and joint ventures are included in debtors and creditors, as appropriate.
