CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Overview

Jardine Cycle & Carriage ("JC&C" or "the Group") saw strong underlying profit growth of 6% in 2023, mainly supported by record results from Astra.

Astra contributed US$1,019 million to the Group's underlying profit, 12% higher than the previous year, reflecting improved performances from most of its businesses.

Direct Motor Interests contributed US$68 million, an increase of 8%, with higher profits from Tunas Ridean in Indonesia and Cycle & Carriage Bintang in Malaysia.

The contribution from the Group's Other Strategic Interests was 2% down at US$84 million, due to lower earnings reported by Refrigeration Engineering Electrical ("REE"), offset by higher profits in Siam City Cement ("SCCC").

Truong Hai Group Corporation ("THACO") contributed US$36 million, 57% down from the previous year, mainly due to lower automotive profits.

Corporate costs fell from US$48 million to US$47 million, mainly due to the translation of foreign currency loans, which led to a US$18 million increase in foreign exchange gains, partly offset by a US$13 million increase in net financing charges.

The Group's underlying profit attributable to shareholders increased by 6% to US$1,160 million. After accounting for non-trading items, the Group's profit attributable to shareholders was US$1,215 million, 64% higher than the previous year. The non-trading items recorded in the year mainly comprised a US$81 million gain from the sale and leaseback of properties under Cycle & Carriage Singapore, partly offset by unrealised fair value losses of US$20 million related to non-current investments.

The Group's consolidated net debt position, excluding the net borrowings within Astra's financial services subsidiaries, was US$1,145 million at the end of 2023, compared to a net cash position of US$893 million at the end of 2022. This increase was mainly due to the deployment of capital at Astra in a number of strategic projects as well as continued investment in the organic capital expenditure needs of its ongoing businesses, and enhanced dividends paid in 2023 at Astra. Net debt within Astra's financial services subsidiaries increased from US$2.8 billion at the end of 2022 to US$3.4 billion. JC&C corporate net debt was US$1.3 billion, down from US$1.5 billion at the end of 2022.

Dividends

The Board is recommending a final one-tier tax-exempt dividend of US¢90 per share (2022: US¢83 per share) which, together with the interim dividend of US¢28 per share (2022: US¢28 per share), will produce a total dividend for the year of US¢118 per share (2022: US¢111 per share), 6% higher than 2022.

Sustainability

JC&C is a long-term investor in Southeast Asia and remains committed to the region's development. We firmly believe in sustainable growth to deliver positive impact to the communities we serve, and we continue to commit to embedding sustainability as a core component of our overall corporate strategy.

The Group is focussing in particular on decarbonising our businesses and enhancing the long-term resilience of our portfolio. This involves making increased investments, which support the transition to a low-carbon future. Moving forward, we plan to continue maximising our renewable energy generation on-site, as well as exploring electrification opportunities.

People

On behalf of the Board, I would like to express our appreciation to our teams across the region for their continuing dedication and effort.

I would like to welcome Mikkel Larsen, who joined the Board in January 2024 and was also appointed as a member of the Audit & Risk Committee. Mikkel is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Climate Impact X, a global exchange and marketplace for high-quality carbon credits. We look forward to Mikkel's contribution to the Group.

Outlook

The Group expects a challenging year ahead in view of lower commodity prices and only a mild recovery of sentiment in Vietnam. The Group's businesses, nevertheless, have made good progress in 2023 and will remain focused on their strategic priorities to build a solid foundation for strong long-term growth.

GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR'S REVIEW

Group Review

The Group achieved an underlying profit growth of 6% in 2023, mainly due to a strong performance in the first half of the year. Growth in the second half of the year slowed to 1% compared to the same period in the previous year, reflecting mainly the decline in commodity prices. The contributions to JC&C's underlying profit attributable to shareholders by business segment were as follows:

	Contribution to JC&C's underlying profit Year ended 31st December
Business segments	2023 US$m	2022 US$m	Change %
Astra	1,019	913	12%
THACO	36	83	-57%
Direct Motor Interests	68	63	8%
Other Strategic Interests	84	86	-2%
Corporate Costs - exchange gains/(losses)	22	4	464%
Corporate Costs - others	(69)	(53)	30%
Underlying profit attributable to Shareholders	1,160	1,096	6%

Astra

Astra contributed US$1,019 million to JC&C's underlying profit, 12% higher than the previous year, due to stronger performances from most of its businesses, particularly its automotive and financial services operations. Total unrealised fair value losses of US$5 million in respect of its GoTo and Hermina investments were reported under JC&C's non-trading items.

Automotive

Net income increased by 18% to US$750 million, reflecting higher sales volumes in the motorcycle and components businesses.

· The wholesale car market decreased by 4% to 1.0 million units in 2023. Astra's car sales were 2% lower at 561,000 units, while its market share rose from 55% to 56%.

· Two new hybrid electric models ("HEV") and one new battery electric model ("BEV") were launched in the year, bringing the number of BEV car models that Astra sells in Indonesia to six and the number of HEV car models to 13, under the Toyota, Lexus and BMW brands.

· The wholesale market for motorcycles increased by 19% to 6.2 million units in 2023. Astra's Honda motorcycle sales were 22% higher at 4.9 million units. The low base in the previous year was due to production constraints caused by semiconductor supply issues. Astra's market share increased from 77% to 78%.

· Astra launched a new BEV motorcycle model, the EM1e, during the year.

· Components business, Astra Otoparts, reported a 39% increase in net income to US$121 million, mainly due to improved operating margins and higher contributions from its associates.

Financial Services

Net income increased by 30% to US$516 million, due to higher contributions from Astra's consumer finance businesses.

· Consumer finance businesses saw a 15% increase in new amounts financed to US$7.7 billion. Supported by larger loan portfolios and lower loan loss provisions, the net income contribution from the group's car-focused finance companies increased by 24% to US$150 million, and the contribution from the motorcycle-focused financing business increased by 29% to US$269 million.

· General insurance company, Asuransi Astra Buana, reported a 14% increase in net income to US$92 million, primarily due to higher insurance revenue.

Heavy Equipment, Mining, Construction and Energy

Net income was stable at US$832 million, mainly due to improved profits from heavy equipment and mining contracting businesses, which offset lower earnings from its coal and gold mining businesses.

· Komatsu heavy equipment sales were 8% lower at 5,300 units, although revenue from the parts and service businesses was higher.

· Mining contracting operations saw a 21% increase in overburden removal volume at 1,158 million bank cubic metres, while coal production increased by 11% to 129 million tonnes.

· Coal mining subsidiaries reported a 19% increase in coal sales at 11.8 million tonnes, but revenue declined due to lower coal prices.

· Agincourt Resources reported a 39% decrease in gold sales at 175,000 oz.

Agribusiness

Net income decreased by 39% to US$55 million, mainly as a result of lower crude palm selling prices, partly offset by higher sales.

Infrastructure and Logistics

Astra's infrastructure and logistics division reported an 85% increase in net profit to US$64 million, primarily due to improved performance in its toll road businesses, which saw a 7% increase in toll road revenues. Astra has 396km of operational toll roads along the Trans-Java network and in the Jakarta Outer Ring Road.

THACO

THACO contributed a profit of US$36 million, 57% down from the previous year. Its automotive profits were significantly lower, which reflected the slowdown of Vietnam's economy, weakened consumer sentiment and greater competitive pressure. Unit sales were 28% down, with a market share decline from 23% to 21%. Losses from its agricultural operations were, however, lower than the previous year.

Direct Motor Interests

The Group's Direct Motor Interests contributed a US$68 million profit, 8% higher than the previous year.

· Cycle & Carriage Singapore's contribution was 24% down at US$25 million, due to lower new vehicle and used car sales amidst a tight COE cycle and increased competitive pressure, partly offset by improved aftersales profitability. New passenger car sales volume fell by 3% to 5,603 units, and market share decreased from 19% to 18%.

· In Indonesia, Tunas Ridean contributed US$39 million profit, 39% higher than the previous year, with higher profits across its automotive, financial services and leasing businesses.

· Cycle & Carriage Bintang in Malaysia contributed a profit of US$9 million, 25% higher than the previous year, mainly due to improved margins.

Other Strategic Interests

The Group's Other Strategic Interests contributed a US$84 million profit, 2% lower than the previous year.

· SCCC's contribution increased by 43% to US$17 million, as the prior year results included the effect of higher deferred tax liabilities due to an increase in tax rates in Sri Lanka in 2022. Excluding this one-off effect, SCCC's contribution would have been 1% lower than the prior year, as the business continued to be adversely impacted by lower sales volume, partly offset by lower operating costs.

· REE's contribution declined by 16% to US$32m, due to less favourable weather conditions resulting in lower profits from its renewable energy investments.

· The Group's investment in Vinamilk produced a slightly lower dividend income of US$36 million, compared to US$37 million in the previous year. Vinamilk reported a 4% increase in net profit, mainly due to lower input costs, partly offset by higher selling and marketing expenses.

Corporate Costs

Corporate costs totalled US$47 million, compared to US$48 million in the previous year. The improvement was mainly due to a US$18 million increase in foreign exchange gains from the translation of foreign currency loans, partly offset by a US$13 million increase in net financing charges.

Strategic Developments

Astra

Astra continued to make good progress in 2023 in strategically deploying capital towards a diversification away from coal. United Tractors completed the acquisition of interests in two nickel mining and processing businesses in the period: a 19.99% interest in Nickel Industries for around US$616 million and a 90% effective interest in Stargate Pasific Resources and Stargate Mineral Asia, for a total of US$319 million. United Tractors also acquired a 49.6% interest in Supreme Energy Sriwijaya, which indirectly operates a geothermal project with an existing capacity of 2 X 49 MW, for US$52 million.

As part of its digital transformation strategy, Astra has acquired Tokobagus, a company operating the leading online used car platform in Indonesia under the OLX brand. Astra has also partnered with Equinix, one of the world's largest digital infrastructure companies, to develop data centres in Indonesia.

In pursuing its healthcare strategy, Astra invested an additional US$100 million in Halodoc, a leading digital health ecosystem platform in Indonesia, bringing its total investment to US$135 million and its ownership to 21.0%.

Direct Motor Interests

In Singapore, the Group completed a sale and leaseback arrangement in respect of its properties for US$225 million. It also entered into a used car and aftersales partnership with Carro, a leading digital used car platform.

In Malaysia, Cycle & Carriage Bintang's business has transitioned to the Mercedes-Benz agency model, starting from 2024.

Other Strategic Interests

The current operating environment in Vietnam remains challenging, but management remains optimistic that the Group's partners will be able to take advantage of mid-term growth opportunities under this difficult market. JC&C increased its support for THACO in the near term by investing around US$350 million through a subscription for a five-year convertible bond. JC&C has also increased its interest in REE from 33.6% to 34.9% through a series of on-market purchases, for around US$14 million.

Summary

The Group achieved a good set of results in 2023, benefitting from the strength of its market-leading businesses and the performance of its overall portfolio. The Group's businesses remain focused on their strategic priorities to build a solid foundation for long-term growth.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2023

1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements are consistent with those set out in the 2022 audited accounts which have been prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) ("SFRS(I)") and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The condensed interim financial statements for the six months ended 31st December 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance of the Group since the last interim financial statements for the period ended 30th June 2023. There have been no changes to the accounting policies described in the 2022 audited accounts except for the adoption of new and amended standards as set out below. The Group has not early adopted any other standard or amendments that have been issued but not yet effective.

The exchange rates used for translating assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are US$1=S$1.3185 (2022: US$1=S$1.3445), US$1=RM4.5872 (2022: US$1= RM4.4125), US$1=IDR15,416 (2022: US$1= IDR15,731), US$1=VND24,276 (2022: US$1=VND23,627) and US$1=THB34.211 (2022: US$1= THB34.560).

The exchange rates used for translating the results for the period are US$1=S$1.3411 (2022: US$1=S$1.3796), US$1=RM4.5631 (2022: US$1=RM4.4104), US$1=IDR15,217 (2022: US$1=IDR14,922), US$1=VND23,877 (2022: US$1=VND23,465) and US$1=THB34.776 (2022: US$1=THB35.173).

Interpretations and amendments to published standard effective in 2023

The Group has adopted the following standard and amendments for the annual reporting period commencing 1st January 2023.

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (effective from 1st January 2023)

The standard covers recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure for insurance contracts and is applicable to the Group's insurance businesses in Indonesia. Prior to the adoption of IFRS 17, profits were recognised in the profit and loss on initial recognition of certain insurance contracts. Under IFRS 17, all profits are recognised in the profit and loss over the life of the contracts as insurance services are provided. The adoption of IFRS 17 resulted in certain restatements to the Group's financial statements.

The effect of adopting IFRS 17 on the consolidated financial statement for the year ended 31st December 2022 were as follows:

(a) On the profit and loss account

		Adjustment
	As	upon
	previously	adoption
	reported	of IFRS 17	Restated
	US$m	US$m	US$m

Revenue	21,793.5	(228.0)	21,565.5
Net operating cost	(19,083.5)	228.0	(18,855.5)
Operating profit	2,710.0	-	2,710.0

(b) On the consolidated balance sheet

		Adjustment
	As	upon
	previously	adoption
	reported	of IFRS 17	Restated
	US$m	US$m	US$m

Intangible assets	1,675.4	(42.9)	1,632.5
Deferred tax assets	404.0	(0.5)	403.5
Non-current debtors	3,041.5	46.9	3,088.4
Current debtors	5,495.2	(73.8)	5,421.4

Non-current creditors	154.5	8.6	163.1
Current creditors	5,276.9	(141.0)	5,135.9
Current tax liabilities	280.2	(0.8)	279.4

Shareholders' funds	7,139.8	31.5	7,171.3
Non-controlling interests	9,309.7	31.4	9,341.1

The consolidated balance sheet on 1st January 2022 is not presented, as the impact of adoption of IFRS17 is not significant.

Other than as detailed above, there is no other material impact to the Group's consolidated financial statements upon adoption of the standard.

The adoption of these new or amended IFRS and Interpretations of IFRS did not result in substantial changes to the Group's accounting policies and had no material effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior financial years.

Disclosure of Accounting Policies - Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 (effective from 1st January 2023)

The amendments require entities to disclose material rather than significant accounting policies. The amendments define what is 'material accounting policy information' and explain how to identify when accounting policy information is material. Material accounting policy information is information that, when considered together with other information included in an entity's financial statements, can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. IASB further clarifies that immaterial accounting policy information does not need to be disclosed. If it is disclosed, it should not obscure material accounting information. To support this amendment, the IASB also amended IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgements to provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures.

Amendment to IAS 12 - Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (effective from 1st January 2023)

The amendment requires deferred tax to be recognised on transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. They typically apply to transactions such as leases of lessees and decommissioning obligations and require the recognition of additional deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Group applied the amendment from 1st January 2023 and there is no material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

Amendment to IAS 12 - International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules (effective for annual reporting period commencing on or after 1st January 2023)

The amendment provides a temporary mandatory exception from deferred tax accounting in respect of Pillar Two income taxes and certain additional disclosure requirements. The Group is within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two model rules, and has applied the amendment from 1st January 2023.

Pillar Two legislation has been enacted or substantially enacted in certain jurisdictions in which the Group operates. The legislation will be effective for the Group's annual reporting period commencing 1st January 2024. Since the Pillar Two legislation was not effective at 31st December 2023, the Group has no related current tax exposure.

The Group is in scope of the enacted or substantively enacted legislation and has performed an assessment of the Group's potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes when the legislation comes into effect. The assessment of the potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes is based on the latest financial information for the year ended 31st December 2023 of the constituent entities in the Group. The Group does not expect a material exposure to Pillar Two income taxes in those jurisdictions.

There are no other amendments which are effective in 2023 and relevant to the Group's operations, that have a significant impact on the Group's results, financial position and accounting policies.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of the condensed interim financial statements require management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2023.

Fair value estimation

a) 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:

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

The fair values of listed securities and bonds are 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.

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 and forward foreign exchange contracts are calculated by reference to the market interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data ("unobservable inputs")

The fair values of other unlisted equity investments are determined using valuation techniques by reference to observable current market transactions or the market prices of the underlying investments with certain degree of entity-specific estimates or discounted cash flows by projecting the cash inflows from these investments.

There were no changes in valuation techniques during the year.

The table below analyses the Group's financial instruments carried at fair value, by the levels in the fair value measurement hierarchy.

b) Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value

The fair values of current debtors, bank balances and other liquid funds, current creditors, current borrowings and current lease liabilities of the Group and the Company 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 disclosed are based on market prices or are estimated using the expected future payments discounted at market interest rates. The fair values of non-current lease liabilities are estimated using the expected future payments discounted at market interest rates.
