Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited
Half-Yearly Results for the Six Months ended 30th June 2013
Overview
There were mixed results from the Group's businesses in the first half of the year. Improved contributions from Hongkong Land, Mandarin Oriental and Jardine Motors compensated for reductions in Astra, Dairy Farm and Jardine Pacific, leading to an increase in profit for the period.
Results
Jardine Matheson's underlying profit for the first six months of 2013 was US$753 million, 7% above the same period in 2012. Underlying earnings per share were 6% higher at US$2.05. The revenue of the Group, including 100% of the revenue from associates and joint ventures, was US$31.4 billion, compared to US$30.3 billion in the first half of 2012.
Non-trading items in the first half produced a gain of US$31 million, following a modest increase in investment property values in Hongkong Land. This compares with net non-trading gains of US$71 million in the first half of 2012. As a result, the Group's profit attributable to shareholders was US$784 million for the six months, compared with US$776 million in 2012.
The Board has declared an increased interim dividend of US¢37.00 per share, up 6%.
Business Performances
There were some varied performances from Jardine Pacific's businesses. Jardine Schindler again produced good profit growth. Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals recorded lower results due to increased rebates and staff costs, with the impact from Cathay Pacific's long-planned move to its own dedicated facility starting to be felt. The group's results were also reduced by a loss in KFC restaurants in Taiwan and a disappointing performance from Jardine OneSolution.
Jardine Motors produced some earnings recovery as its UK operations did better and its losses in mainland China fell. New model launches by Mercedes-Benz later in the year are expected to have a positive effect. The group remains optimistic about the long-term potential of the Mainland market, where Zung Fu now has 28 outlets and a further four under development.
JLT enjoyed a satisfactory first half with good performances across the group, particularly in Asia, Latin America, Australia and Reinsurance, continuing the strong organic revenue growth of recent years. Preparations are well advanced for the move into new headquarters in London, consolidating several premises into a single site.
Hongkong Land's results benefited from higher rents in its commercial properties and the completion of two large residential projects in Singapore. In its key premium residential markets sentiment remained affected by government measures to dampen prices, although sales in mainland China and Singapore have been satisfactory. Construction has started on the group's Wangfujing development, its first significant commercial project in Beijing, and residential development projects are being pursued in Indonesia.
Dairy Farm produced good sales growth in most of its major operations, with Hong Kong in particular performing well. There was a modest decline in earnings, however, as difficult conditions in Malaysia and Singapore led to increased costs and reduced margins. Progress is being made in addressing the margin challenges and Dairy Farm is continuing to invest for long-term growth in all its key businesses.
Mandarin Oriental enjoyed positive trading conditions and achieved good performances across most of its portfolio. In February, it acquired the freehold rights of its Paris hotel. During the first half it opened hotels in Guangzhou and Shanghai, and a management contract was announced for a property in Istanbul. Within the next 18 months, the group is planning to open hotels in Taipei, Marrakech, Bodrum and Beijing.
The results for Jardine Cycle & Carriage were lower in the first half of the year. Astra's reported earnings declined and were further reduced on translation by a softer rupiah exchange rate. Tough trading conditions were also experienced in Jardine Cycle & Carriage's other motor operations in Southeast Asia.
Astra's earnings benefited from improved contributions from its financial services and mining contracting businesses, but these were offset by lower results from its automotive, heavy equipment and agribusiness segments. While economic conditions in Indonesia continue to support domestic demand, Astra's operations are experiencing increased competition in the motor car market, higher labour costs and softer commodity prices.
Outlook
Faced with the continuance of challenging conditions in many of their markets, most of our businesses have adapted well and are trading satisfactorily. The Group's overall performance for the full year is expected to be broadly unchanged from last year.

Operating Review
Jardine Pacific
Jardine Pacific's underlying profit for the first half of 2013 declined 33% to US$44 million. With the value of the group's investment property portfolio remaining unchanged, the profit attributable to shareholders was also US$44 million.
Jardine Schindler did well to generate a higher profit and achieve further growth in its maintenance portfolio. The earnings of Gammon and Jardine Engineering Corporation were impacted by delays in major projects, although both expect improvements in the second half. Despite throughput being maintained, Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals saw its earnings decline as costs increased in advance of Cathay Pacific's move to its dedicated facility in the second half of the year. The results of Jardine Shipping Services and Jardine Aviation Services were little changed. Jardine Restaurants' Pizza Hut operations in Hong Kong and Taiwan produced higher sales growth and profits, but its KFC franchise in Taiwan faced more difficult trading and an increased franchise fee. Jardine OneSolution experienced weak demand in all of its markets, which led to lower revenue and a small loss.
Jardine Motors
Jardine Motors achieved a much improved underlying profit result of US$20 million in the first half, compared to US$4 million in the same period in 2012. Its dealerships in the United Kingdom performed better with vehicles sales up and margins slightly enhanced. The result also benefited from a US$3 million gain on the sale of BMW dealerships in Hampshire and North London.
Zung Fu produced a modest increase in profit in Hong Kong and Macau, with higher deliveries of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars and an increased profit contribution from Hyundai. While the market remained difficult in mainland China, losses were reduced as margins on new car sales improved slightly and service operations produced higher income.
Jardine Lloyd Thompson
Jardine Lloyd Thompson's revenue for the period was equivalent to US$748 million, an increase of 10% in its reporting currency, reflecting organic growth of 7% and acquisitions primarily made in 2012. The contribution to Group profits rose moderately, held back by acquisition integration costs.
The company's specialist risk and insurance business produced a 7% increase in revenues, all of which was organic, with strong performances from its Reinsurance, Latin American, Asian and Australian operations. The underlying trading profit was up 3%. The Risk & Insurance business continued to make investments for growth, the benefits of which will be seen over time. The Employee Benefits business achieved revenue growth of 21%, comprising 8% from organic growth and the balance from acquisitions, with its international operations making an increasing contribution. Its underlying trading profit rose 16%.
Hongkong Land
Hongkong Land's underlying profit rose 63% to US$519 million as it benefited from higher rents in its commercial properties and the completion of two large residential projects in Singapore. Following a small increase in the values of its investment properties, the profit attributable to shareholders was US$598 million.
The office leasing market in Hong Kong remained relatively unchanged, and Hongkong Land's rental reversions continued to be largely positive. Its office vacancy rose to 5.6% at the end of June due to a major lease expiry, although much of this released space will be taken up by new leases in the second half. Its retail portfolio was fully occupied. The Singapore office portfolio was 97% leased and rental levels were stable, while in Jakarta the portfolio was 93% let. Construction has commenced on the Wangfujing development in Beijing.
Two large residential development projects were completed in Singapore, MCL Land's The Estuary and the one-third owned Marina Bay Suites, while MCL Land is to complete another fully pre-sold project in the second half of the year. MCL Land has a further three projects under construction, which are mostly pre-sold, while a new project launched in June was also fully committed within a few days. A second new development recently launched and targeted at the premium market was affected by the government's cooling measures. In mainland China, the group's attributable interest in contracted sales in its residential projects was US$369 million in the period, compared with US$200 million in 2012. The response to projects launched in Chengdu and Chongqing in the first half was relatively good, while sales also continue at other projects in Chongqing and Shenyang as well as at Maple Place in Beijing.
Dairy Farm
Dairy Farm's sales, including 100% of associates and joint ventures, increased by 10% to US$6.0 billion in the first six months of 2013. Underlying net profit was US$228 million, a decline of 5% from the same period last year in part due to the overstatement of supplier income in Malaysia that had taken place in 2012. The profit attributable to shareholders at US$229 million benefited from a small gain arising from a property disposal.
The group's operations generally traded well, particularly in Hong Kong, and expansion continued in Indonesia. The Food businesses in Malaysia, however, recorded sharply lower profits in the face of more aggressive promotional activity and lower supplier income. Steps are being taken by a new management team in Malaysia to rebuild market positions and address the decline in profitability. The IKEA businesses achieved further profitable growth and construction is progressing on the fifth Taiwanese store and the first Indonesian store. Restaurant associate, Maxim's, maintained its good performance in Hong Kong.
Dairy Farm is building its reputation as an innovator across all retail categories. A joint venture has been established to operate mini-marts in Malaysia, while in Singapore, the Shop N Save supermarkets were rebranded as Giant so as to increase the brand focus. There were further range additions in Health and Beauty, and in the convenience store formats there was an increase in ready-to-eat options. In early July, PT Hero in Indonesia raised the equivalent of US$304 million through a rights issue to support its expansion plans and reduce debt. Continued progress has also been made in the strategic priority of streamlining the supply chain in all markets and driving efficiencies.
Mandarin Oriental
Mandarin Oriental's underlying profit for the period was up 90% to US$54 million, with earnings benefiting in part from US$7 million in one-off items relating to the acquisition in February of the freehold rights to its Paris hotel. The profit attributable to shareholders was US$57 million, including a US$3 million writeback of a provision against asset impairment, which compares with a profit of US$30 million in the first half of 2012 that included a US$2 million writeback.
The group's Asian hotels performed well. The two wholly-owned Hong Kong hotels maintained their occupancy and average rates, despite a softening in corporate demand, and Tokyo benefited from increasing visitor arrivals. In Europe, an improved performance in Munich, further stabilization in Paris and a solid performance in London more than compensated for a difficult market in Geneva. Demand increased in the group's American portfolio as the trading environment improved, resulting in higher occupancies and average rates. The group's portfolio of properties in operation or under development is now 45 hotels in 27 countries.
Jardine Cycle & Carriage
Jardine Cycle & Carriage saw its underlying profit attributable to shareholders decline by 11% to US$453 million. Astra's contribution of US$433 million was 11% lower reflecting its reduced earnings and the impact on consolidation of a weaker exchange rate. As the withholding tax on Astra's dividend has been provided in advance since the end of 2012, the first-half result includes a provision of US$14 million in respect of the estimated 2013 interim dividend from Astra, while the results for the first half of 2012 included withholding tax of US$31 million in respect of Astra's 2011 final dividend. There were no non-trading items in the first half, so the profit attributable to shareholders was the same as the underlying profit.
The profit contribution from the group's directly-held motor interests fell 20% to US$25 million. Sales in the Singapore operations were adversely affected by government restrictions, while in Malaysia, Cycle & Carriage Bintang faced intense competition in the premium car segment leading to severe pressure on margins. In Indonesia, Tunas Ridean also suffered competitive pressures as well as higher labour costs. In Vietnam, Truong Hai Auto Corporation performed better than the previous year with unit sales and margins both showing improvements.
Astra
Astra reported a net profit equivalent to US$904 million under Indonesian accounting standards, 9% down in its reporting currency. While economic conditions in Indonesia continue to support domestic demand, Astra's operations face increased competition in the motor car sector, higher labour costs and lower commodity prices.
Automotive demand in Indonesia remained favourable during the period as it benefited from rising incomes and affordable interest rates. Astra, however, faced increased competition in the motor car market which, coupled with higher labour costs, led to a decline in earnings. The Indonesian wholesale market for motor cars grew by 12% to 602,000 units, while Astra's motor car sales rose by 6% to 321,000 units, with its market share reducing from 56% to 53%. The wholesale market for motorcycles increased by 6% to 3.9 million units, and Astra Honda Motor's sales rose 12% to 2.4 million units, with its market share increasing from 57% to 60%.
Astra Otoparts, the group's automotive components business, reported net income down 2% at US$53 million with higher labour costs offsetting an increase in revenue. In April, the company acquired a 51% interest in PT Pakoakuina, a producer of wheel rims for both motor cars and motorcycles, for a consideration of US$72 million. Astra Otoparts completed a US$306 million rights issue in May to strengthen its capital base, while Astra helped to increase the liquidity of the stock by placing 16% of the shares; reducing its shareholding to 80% and generating US$290 million in gross proceeds.
Tax incentives have been announced in Indonesia to encourage the domestic production of 'low cost green cars'. Astra has products that are well positioned to benefit from these measures that it intends to begin distributing in the second half of the year.
The amount financed through Astra's automotive-focused consumer finance operations grew by 6% to US$2.9 billion, including joint bank financing without recourse. The amount financed through Astra's heavy equipment finance operations declined by 42% to US$264 million following a decline in sales.
Astra's 45%-held Bank Permata reported net income up 15% at US$84 million following a strong increase in net interest income on a larger loan book, partly offset by higher operating costs. The group's insurance company, Asuransi Astra Buana, recorded improved earnings with growth in gross written premiums more than compensating for higher reinsurance and claims expenses.
United Tractors, which is 60%-owned, reported a 25% decline in income at US$237 million. In its construction machinery business, sales of Komatsu heavy equipment declined 42% to 2,452 units due to reduced demand from the mining sector. The coal mining contracting operations of subsidiary, Pamapersada Nusantara, benefited from increased mine site capacity. It reported a 12% improvement in revenue as contract coal production increased 12% to 50 million tonnes and contract overburden removal rose 2% to 414 million cubic metres. United Tractors' coal mining subsidiaries saw revenues fall 44% following a 29% reduction in coal sales and a decline in coal prices, and earnings were further impacted by an increase in fuel costs.
Astra Agro Lestari, which is 80%-held, reported income 25% lower at US$74 million. Revenue decreased by 3% to US$563 million, with an 11% increase in palm oil production more than offset by a 16% decline in average crude palm oil prices achieved. Net income was also affected by higher production costs and operating expenses. Astra Agro Lestari is investing US$77 million in the construction of a palm oil refinery in West Sulawesi, which will become operational in 2014.
Income from infrastructure and logistics declined by 29% to US$23 million. The 77%-owned Astra Graphia reported income up 2% at US$7 million.

Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited 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 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 standards, amendments and interpretations which are effective in the current accounting period and relevant to the Group's operations are adopted in 2013:
| ||||
IFRS 10 | Consolidated Financial Statements | ||||
IFRS 11 | Joint Arrangements | ||||
IFRS 12 | Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities | ||||
IFRS 13 | Fair Value Measurement | ||||
Amendments to IFRS 7 | Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities | ||||
Amendments to IFRSs 10, 11 and 12 | Consolidated Financial Statements, Joint Arrangements and Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Transition Guidance | ||||
Amendments to IAS 1 | Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income | ||||
IAS 19 (amended 2011) | Employee Benefits | ||||
IAS 27 (2011) | Separate Financial Statements | ||||
IAS 28 (2011) | Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures | ||||
IFRIC 20 | Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine | ||||
Annual Improvements to IFRS | 2009 - 2011 Cycle | ||||
There have been no changes to the accounting policies described in the 2012 annual financial statements except for the adoption of those standards listed above. As set out below, the only standard adopted that impacts the consolidated profit and loss account and balance sheet is IAS 19 (amended 2011).
IFRS 10 'Consolidated Financial Statements' replaces SIC Interpretation 12 'Consolidation - Special Purpose Entities' and most of IAS 27 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements'. It contains a new single consolidation model that identifies control as the basis for consolidation for all types of entities. It provides a definition of control that comprises the elements of power over an investee; exposure of rights to variable returns from an investee; and ability to use power to affect the reporting entity's returns.
IFRS 11 'Joint Arrangements' replaces IAS 31 'Interests in Joint Ventures' and SIC 13 'Jointly Controlled Entities - Non Monetary Contributions by Venturers'. Under IFRS 11, joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations (whereby the parties that have joint control have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the joint arrangements) or joint ventures (whereby the parties that have joint control have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangements). Joint operations are accounted for by showing the party's interest in the assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and/or its relative share of jointly controlled assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, if any. Accounting for joint ventures is now covered by IAS 28 (2011) as proportionate consolidation is no longer permitted.
| |||||
IFRS 12 'Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities' requires entities to disclose information that helps financial statements readers to evaluate the nature, risks and financial effects associated with the entity's interests in subsidiaries, associates, joint arrangements and unconsolidated structured entities. Disclosure required includes significant judgements and assumptions made in determining whether an entity controls, jointly controls, significantly influences or has some other interest in other entities.
IFRS 13 'Fair Value Measurement' requires entities to disclose information about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value, as well as information about the uncertainty inherent in fair value measurements. The standard applies to both financial and non-financial items measured at fair value. Fair value is now defined as 'the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date' (i.e. an exit price).
Amendments to IFRS 7 'Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities' focus on disclosures of quantitative information about recognized financial instruments that are offset in the balance sheet, as well as those recognized financial instruments that are subject to master netting or similar arrangements irrespective of whether they are offset.
Amendments to IFRSs 10, 11 and 12 on transition guidance provide additional transition relief to IFRSs 10, 11 and 12, limiting the requirement to provide adjusted comparative information to only the preceding comparative period. For disclosures related to unconsolidated structured entities, the amendments will remove the requirement to present comparative information for periods before IFRS 12 is first applied.
Amendments to IAS 1 'Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income' improve the consistency and clarity of the presentation of items of other comprehensive income. The amendments require entities to separate items presented in other comprehensive income into two groups, based on whether or not they may be reclassified to profit or loss in the future. Items that will not be reclassified − such as remeasurements of defined benefit pension plans − will be presented separately from items that may be reclassified in the future − such as deferred gains and losses on cash flow hedges. The amounts of tax related to the two groups are required to be allocated on the same basis.
IAS 19 (amended 2011) 'Employee Benefits' requires, for defined benefit plans, the assumed return on plan assets recognized in the profit and loss to be the same as the rate used to discount the defined benefit obligation. Previously, the Group determined income on plan assets based on their long-term rate of expected return. It also requires past service costs to be recognized immediately in profit or loss. Additional disclosures are required to present the characteristics of defined benefit plans, the amount recognized in the financial statements, and the risks arising from defined benefit plans and multi-employer plans. The Group has applied the amended standard retrospectively and the comparative financial statements have been restated in accordance with the transition provisions of the standard. Details of the effect of the change are set out below.
IAS 27 (2011) 'Separate Financial Statements' supersedes IAS 27 (2008) and prescribes the accounting and disclosure requirements for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates when an entity prepares separate financial statements. There is no impact on the consolidated financial statements as the changes only affect the separate financial statements of the investing entity. | |||||
IAS 28 (2011) 'Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures' supersedes IAS 28 (2008) and prescribes the accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures and sets out the requirements for the application of the equity method when accounting for investments in associates and joint ventures.
IFRIC 20 'Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine' clarifies when production stripping should lead to the recognition of an asset and how that asset should be measured, both initially and in subsequent periods.
Amendment to IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements' clarifies the disclosure requirements for comparative information when an entity provides a third balance sheet either as required by IAS 8, 'Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors'; or voluntarily. When an entity produces an additional balance sheet as required by IAS 8, the balance sheet should be as at the date of the beginning of the preceding period - that is, the opening position. No notes are required to support this balance sheet. When management provides additional comparative information voluntarily - for example, profit and loss account, balance sheet - it should present the supporting notes to these additional statements.
Amendment to IAS 16 'Property, Plant and Equipment' clarifies that spare parts and servicing equipment are classified as property, plant and equipment rather than inventory when they meet the definition of property, plant and equipment. The previous wording of IAS 16 indicated that servicing equipment should be classified as inventory, even if it was used for more than one period. Following the amendment, this equipment used for more than one period is classified as property, plant and equipment.
Amendment to IAS 32 'Financial Instruments: Presentation' clarifies that income tax related to profit distributions is recognized in the profit and loss account, and income tax related to the costs of equity transactions is recognized in equity. Prior to the amendment, IAS 32 was ambiguous as to whether the tax effects of distributions and the tax effects of equity transactions should be accounted for in the profit and loss account or in equity.
Amendment to IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' clarifies the disclosure requirements for segment assets and liabilities in interim financial statements. A measure of total assets and liabilities is required for an operating segment in interim financial statements if such information is regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and there has been a material change in those measures since the last annual financial statements. | |||||

5. | Sale of an Associate
In June 2012 the Group participated in the restructuring of the Rothschild group interests, pursuant to which it sold its holding of 21% in Rothschilds Continuation Holdings, which it originally acquired for US$181 million, in exchange for new shares in Paris Orléans ('PO') with a market value of US$172 million. The Group subsequently sold slightly less than 50% of its interest in PO for cash. These transactions together resulted in a non-trading loss of US$68 million or US$56 million after non-controlling interests (note 8). The remaining PO shares held by the Group are classified as other investments. | ||||||||

7. | Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated on profit attributable to shareholders of US$784 million (2012: US$776 million) and on the weighted average number of 367 million (2012: 363 million) shares in issue during the period.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated on profit attributable to shareholders of US$784 million (2012: US$774 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 368 million (2012: 364 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 value 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 all interest rate swaps and caps, cross-currency swaps, forward foreign exchange contracts and credit default swaps are determined using rates quoted by the Group's bankers at the balance sheet date which 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 value of other unlisted investments, 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The table below analyzes financial instruments carried at fair value at 30th June 2013, 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. | |||||||||
