Jardine Strategic Holdings Limited
Half-Yearly Results for the Six Months ended 30th June 2019
Overview
The Group's profit in the first half was impacted by a slow
start to the year by Astra, while Hongkong Land and Dairy Farm both
saw increases in profit. The Group faced challenging conditions in
the period, primarily caused by weaker consumer sentiment in
Indonesia.
Results
The Group's underlying profit for the first six months of 2019
was US$779 million, US$10 million or 1% below the corresponding
period last year, and underlying earnings per share were flat at
US$1.38. The revenue of the Group for the period was 6% lower at
US$16 billion, while revenue, including 100% of Jardine Matheson,
associates and joint ventures, was up 13% at US$50.3 billion.
Within Jardine Matheson's directly-held businesses, there was a
loss of earnings from Jardine Lloyd Thompson with the sale of its
stake completed in April 2019. Jardine Pacific saw lower overall
results, mainly due to the timing of project completions in Gammon.
There was a stronger contribution from JEC and steady performances
in Jardine Schindler and Jardine Restaurants, but lower results
from Hactl. Jardine Motors saw its earnings increase overall,
benefitting from a higher contribution from its investment in
Zhongsheng and an improved result from Zung Fu in mainland China,
partially offset by lower earnings at Zung Fu in Hong Kong.
Hongkong Land's profits rose modestly, as its results benefitted
from increased contributions from both Investment Properties and
Development Properties, partially offset by higher financing costs
due to land acquisitions. There were continued positive rental
reversions in the Hong Kong office portfolio and the Hong Kong
retail portfolio remained effectively fully occupied, while the
profit contribution from development properties in mainland China
increased in the first half of the year compared with the
equivalent period last year.
Dairy Farm saw a strong performance from its Health and Beauty
business and solid sales performances from Convenience, Home
Furnishings and Restaurants. The group's underlying profit
benefitted from higher contributions from Yonghui and Robinsons
Retail, partially offset by continuing business transformation
costs. The Food business continued to face challenges, but is
beginning to see signs of growth in underlying sales performance in
Southeast Asia as the transformation plan is implemented.
At Mandarin Oriental, underlying profit was lower during the
first half of the year, primarily due to the closure of The
Excelsior in Hong Kong and reduced earnings from the Bangkok hotel,
which was largely closed in March 2019 for a major renovation.
Overall results across the rest of the group's properties were
broadly flat.
In Southeast Asia, JC&C saw lower contribution from Truong
Hai Auto Corporation in Vietnam. Astra's performance was weaker in
the period, with lower contributions from its automotive business
and agribusiness, offsetting improved performances from its
financial services and heavy equipment, mining, construction and
energy businesses.
There was a non-trading net gain in the first half of US$878
million, compared with a non-trading net gain of US$156 million in
the first half of 2018. The sale of the Group's interest in Jardine
Lloyd Thompson produced a net gain of US$874 million. There was
also a net gain of US$52 million related to the fair value of other
investments, offset by a net non-trading loss of US$44 million from
revaluations of investment properties in Hongkong Land. The Group's
profit attributable to shareholders for the period was US$1,657
million, compared with US$945 million in 2018. The Board has
declared an increased interim dividend of USc10.50 per share, 5%
higher than last year.
Business Developments
The offer for Jardine Lloyd Thompson by Marsh & McLennan
completed on 1st April 2019 and the Group received net proceeds of
US$2.1 billion for the sale of its stake. As a result of the sale,
the Group did not recognise any profit from JLT in the first half
of 2019, compared with a profit contribution of U$20 million in the
same period in 2018.
WF CENTRAL in Beijing is performing in line with expectations
and its hotel, Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing, opened in March 2019.
Planning of the prime commercial joint venture project in the
central business district of Bangkok is well underway, with
construction expected to commence in early 2020 and completion
scheduled for 2025. During the period, the group acquired a
residential site in southwestern Wuhan. The joint venture projects
in the rest of Southeast Asia are progressing on schedule.
Dairy Farm is implementing a range of initiatives as part of its
multi-year transformation programme aimed at improving business
performance and achieving long-term sustainable growth. Work is
underway to transform one of the group's Giant hypermarkets in
Indonesia into an IKEA store as a pilot scheme for the repurposing
of Food space. Maxim's acquired the Starbucks franchise in
Thailand, adding 372 stores in Thailand to its existing stores in
Singapore and Hong Kong.
Mandarin Oriental closed The Excelsior, Hong Kong, at the end of
March and demolition work is underway ahead of the planned
construction of a mixed-use commercial building. The group opened
four new hotels in the first half of the year, in Beijing, Doha,
Dubai and Lake Como. In addition, the group signed two new
management contracts, for a second hotel and residences in Istanbul
and new standalone residences in New York.
In Astra, a 44.5% interest was acquired in the
Surabaya-Mojokerto toll road for US$110 million, further
strengthening Astra's portfolio in the Trans Java network.
People
Charles Allen-Jones stepped down from the Board on 9th May 2019.
We would like to express our gratitude for the significant
contribution he made to the Group over many years. We are pleased
to welcome Lincoln Leong, who joined the Board on 2nd August
2019.
Outlook
The Group's profit decreased by 1% in the first half. While most
businesses delivered resilient performances, the car market in
Indonesia was weaker. In the second half of the year we expect to
benefit from further growth in Hongkong Land and Dairy Farm, but
the Group's overall results will depend to a large extent on
consumer sentiment in our key markets.

Chairman and Managing Director
Operating Review
Jardine Pacific
Jardine Pacific reported an underlying net profit of US$56
million, compared with US$62 million in the equivalent period in
2018. Improvements in business efficiency at JEC resulted in profit
growth with its Hong Kong operations performing well, while Jardine
Schindler and Jardine Restaurants each produced a steady
contribution. Gammon's earnings were, however, down due to the
timing of project completions, although its order book remains
strong at over US$4 billion. Hactl's results were impacted by a
reduction in cargo throughput, slightly better than the market.
Greatview saw a softer sales performance in its China business.
Jardine Motors
Jardine Motors saw its underlying net profit for the first half
increase by 23% to US$107 million. There was a higher contribution
from Zhongsheng as a result of the inclusion of a full six months'
profit, for the period from July to December 2018, due to the
timing of the reporting of its results. In 2018 only two months of
results were included. Zung Fu in mainland China reported a higher
contribution, with a good performance from its after-sales
business. In Hong Kong, however, profits were lower as a result of
the timing of new car deliveries following delays in obtaining
vehicle certifications, as well as weaker consumer sentiment. The
United Kingdom business saw improved profit due to higher margins
and growth in aftersales, but profit was lower than the
corresponding period in 2018 due to the profit received last year
on the sale of dealership land.
Hongkong Land
Hongkong Land's underlying profit attributable to shareholders
for the first six months was US$466 million, up 2% from the
equivalent period in 2018. Profit attributable to shareholders was
US$411 million after accounting for a net loss of US$55 million
arising primarily on the revaluation of investment properties. This
compares with a profit of US$1,124 million in the first half of
2018, which included a net revaluation gain of US$669 million.
Hongkong Land's investment properties benefitted from the
continuing tight supply in the Hong Kong Central office leasing
market. While vacancy in the group's Central office portfolio was
2.8% at the end of June 2019, it would have been 1.6% taking
account of new lease commitments. At the end of 2018, office
vacancy was 1.4%. The retail portfolio remained effectively fully
occupied. In Singapore, there were positive rental reversions and
vacancy in the group's office portfolio was 3.3% at the end of June
2019, although it would have been 0.9% taking account of new lease
commitments. Vacancy was 2.5% at the end of 2018.
In mainland China, the profit contribution from development
properties in the first half of 2019 was higher than the equivalent
period in 2018, as a result of more sales completions. At 30th June
2019 the group had US$1,714 million in sold but unrecognised
contracted sales, compared with US$1,358 million at the end of
2018. Both sales completions and contracted sales are in line with
expectations and are expected to be stronger in the second half of
the year.
The profit contribution from the Singapore business was lower
than the prior year. In 2018 profits were recognised on completion
of the 1,327-unit Sol Acres executive condominium development.
Pre-sales are progressing satisfactorily at the Margaret Ville and
Parc Esta projects, the construction of both of which is scheduled
to complete by 2021. The group's joint venture projects in the rest
of Southeast Asia are progressing on schedule.
Dairy Farm
Dairy Farm saw sales of US$5.8 billion for the period by the
group's subsidiaries, 3% lower than the prior year, or 1% lower at
constant rates of exchange. Underlying profit, restated following
the adoption of the new lease accounting standard, IFRS16, was
US$177 million, 5% higher than the same period last year,
benefitting from improved profit margins from Yonghui, the
deconsolidation of its associate business Yunchuang and the
additional profit contribution from the group's investment in the
Robinsons Retail business in the Philippines. Costs associated with
the group's business transformation programme impacted overall
profit growth, with continued investment in key areas including
people capability, IT infrastructure and digital development, in
order to support future business development.
In the Food business, sales in supermarkets and hypermarkets
were lower due to the de-consolidation of Rustan Supercenters
following its sale at the end of 2018. The implementation of a
regional store optimisation plan as part of the transformation of
the business also impacted sales in Southeast Asia. Underlying
sales performance has begun to show signs of growth, reflecting
improvements in quality, availability, price competitiveness and
general operating standards, notably in Southeast Asia. In North
Asia, sales in Hong Kong continue to grow, particularly in upscale
stores, but Taiwan is increasingly under threat from the aggressive
space expansion of local competitors.
Sales in all of the group's other formats continued to show
positive growth in the first half. The Group's Convenience store
operations achieved higher sales in all markets, with the strongest
growth coming from stores in mainland China. Overall profits were
slightly lower as improved profits in Hong Kong and Macau were
exceeded by investment in further store space growth in the
period.
In Health and Beauty, strong sales were reported in North Asia,
against substantial sales growth in the same period last year,
reinforcing the strength and resilience of the Mannings brand.
Guardian in Southeast Asia also reported an encouraging
performance.
IKEA achieved sales growth in all markets, but profitability was
lower due to the increased cost of goods and pre-opening expenses
for new stores under development in Taiwan and Indonesia.
E-commerce activities are growing, with positive results in all
markets. In May, IKEA opened its sixth store in Taiwan in Greater
Taipei City, with encouraging initial results.
Maxim's delivered good performances across all key businesses,
especially restaurants, where customers have shown strong
engagement with new franchises.
Yonghui reported strong underlying sales and profit growth,
mainly driven by the continuing expansion of its store network and
healthy like-for-like sales growth, while also benefitting from the
partial divestment of Yunchuang, its new technology format, at the
end of 2018.
Robinsons Retail reported good sales growth.
Mandarin Oriental
Mandarin Oriental's underlying profit for the first half of the
year was US$10.7 million, compared with US$22.2 million in the
equivalent period in 2018. The lower profit was primarily due to
the closure of The Excelsior, Hong Kong and reduced earnings from
the Bangkok hotel, which was largely closed in March 2019 for a
major renovation.
Performances were mixed across the group's owned properties. In
Asia, a slow-down in corporate business reduced earnings at the
group's flagship Hong Kong hotel. Results in Tokyo were notably
better, while in the rest of the region performances were broadly
flat.
In Europe, earnings were higher at the London hotel, which
continued to include insurance coverage for loss of profits due to
the fire in June 2018. In the same period last year, the hotel was
only partially open whilst undergoing a renovation programme. In
Paris, results were lower as city-wide demand was impacted by
demonstrations in the city. In America, Boston performed well but
results were weaker in Washington D.C.
Jardine Cycle & Carriage
Jardine Cycle & Carriage reported an underlying profit for
the period of US$407 million, down 1% compared with the equivalent
period last year. Profit attributable to shareholders increased by
147% to US$427 million, after accounting for net non-trading gains
of US$20 million, which were principally unrealised fair value
gains related to non-current investments.
Astra's contribution to underlying profit fell 8% to US$326
million. The group's Direct Motor Interests contributed an
underlying profit of US$55 million, 22% below the previous year.
This was primarily due to a lower contribution from Truong Hai Auto
Corporation in Vietnam due to pressure from competitors. There was
an increase in overall vehicle sales in Cycle & Carriage
Singapore but these were partly offset by lower margins. There was
a higher contribution from Tunas Ridean in Indonesia. The results
from Other Strategic Interests were broadly in line with the
previous year. There were lower contributions from Siam City Cement
in Thailand and Refrigeration Electrical Engineering Corporation in
Vietnam, while Vinamilk produced dividend income of US$28 million
in the period, compared to US$24 million in the previous year.
Astra
Astra reported net profit equivalent to US$691 million, under
Indonesian accounting standards, 6% lower in its reporting
currency, primarily due to lower contributions from its automotive
business and agribusiness. This more than offset increased
contributions from the financial services and heavy equipment,
mining, construction and energy businesses.
Net income from Astra's automotive business fell by 18% to
US$244 million, with 6% lower car sales and increased manufacturing
costs. The overall wholesale car market declined by 13%. Astra's
market share increased from 48% to 53%, and 8 new models and 2
revamped models were launched. Astra's Honda motorcycle sales were
8% higher, as the wholesale motorcycle market grew by 7% in the
first half of 2019. Astra's market share continued to be strong at
75%. 4 new models and 15 revamped models were launched. Components
business Astra Otoparts reported a 19% increase in net income at
US$17 million, mainly due to higher revenue from the replacement
market and export segments.
Net income from Astra's financial services division grew by 32%
to US$199 million, mainly due to the recovery of non-performing
loans, lower loan loss provisions and a larger loan portfolio.
Consumer finance businesses saw a 6% increase in the amount
financed. The net income contribution from car-focused finance
companies increased by 39% to US$50 million, with lower
non-performing loan losses, while the net income contribution from
motorcycle-focused financing business increased by 10% to US$89
million, due to a larger loan portfolio. Heavy equipment-focused
finance operations saw a slight decrease in the amounts financed:
the contribution to net income grew 32% to US$4 million, with lower
loan provisions. Permata Bank reported a significant increase in
net income to US$50 million, mainly due to a higher level of
recoveries from non-performing loans. General insurance company,
Asuransi Astra Buana, reported net income growth of 9% at US$38
million, due to increased investment income.
Net income from Astra's Heavy Equipment, Mining, Construction
and Energy increased by 2% to US$235 million, mainly due to the
contribution from the new gold mining operation acquired in
December 2018 and improved performance from mining contracting,
partly offset by weaker heavy equipment sales. United Tractors
reported a 2% increase in net income to US$393 million. Komatsu
heavy equipment sales decreased by 20%, while parts and service
revenues were stable. Mining contracting operations saw a 5% higher
overburden removal volume and a 7% higher coal production. Coal
mining subsidiaries achieved 11% higher coal sales, including
674,000 tonnes of coking coal sales. Agincourt Resources reported
gold sales of 194,000 oz. General contractor Acset Indonusa
reported a US$28 million net loss, compared to a net income of US$5
million in the equivalent period last year, due to increased
project and funding costs of several ongoing contracts.
Net income from Astra's Agribusiness division fell by 94% to
US$2 million, mainly due to lower crude palm oil prices which
offset higher crude palm oil and derivatives sales. Average crude
palm oil prices fell by 18% in the first half of the year compared
to equivalent period in 2018. Crude palm oil and derivatives sales
increased by 19% to 1.2 million tonnes.
Net income from Astra's Infrastructure & Logistics division
increased from a small profit in the first half of 2018 to US$6
million, due to improved earnings from operational toll roads with
increased traffic volume. Serasi Autoraya's net income decreased by
20% to US$6 million, due to a fall in the number of vehicles under
leasing contract and lower used car sales.
Net income from Astra's Information Technology division fell by
35% to US$3 million, due to reduced revenue in IT solutions and
office service businesses and higher operating costs.
Net income from Astra's Property division was 33% lower at US$2
million, mainly due to reduced development earnings from Anandamaya
Residences following the completion of construction in 2018.

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' and 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.
There are no changes to the accounting policies as described in
the 2018 annual financial statements except for the adoption of
IFRS 16 'Leases' from 1st January 2019 as set out below.
The other amendments or interpretation, which are effective in
2019 and relevant to the Group's operations, do not have a
significant effect on the Group's accounting policies.
The Group has not early adopted any standard or amendments that
have been issued but not yet effective.
IFRS 16 'Leases'
The standard replaces IAS 17 'Leases' and related
interpretations and introduces a comprehensive model for the
identification of lease arrangements and accounting treatments for
both lessors and lessees. The distinction between operating and
finance leases is removed for lessee accounting, and is replaced by
a model where a lease liability and a corresponding right-of-use
asset have to be recognised on the balance sheet for almost all
leases by the lessees. The Group's recognised right-of-use assets
primarily relate to property leases, which are entered into for use
as retail stores and offices. There are also right-of-use assets
relate to equipment and motor vehicles. Prior to 2019, payments
made under operating leases were charged to profit and loss on a
straight-line basis over the period of the lease. From 1st January
2019, each lease payment is allocated between settlement of the
lease liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to
profit and loss over the lease period. The right-of-use asset is
depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the
lease term on a straight-line basis.
In addition, leasehold land which represents payments to third
parties to acquire interests in property, previously included in
intangible assets and tangible assets, is now presented under
right-of-use assets. Leasehold land is amortised over the useful
life of the lease, which includes the renewal period if the lease
is likely to be renewed by the Group without significant cost.
The accounting for lessors does not change significantly.
Changes to accounting policies on adoption of IFRS 16 have been
applied retrospectively, and the comparative financial statements
have been restated.
The effects of adopting IFRS 16 were as follows:

Right-of-use assets
Right-of-use assets are recognised at the commencement date of
the lease, that is the date the underlying assets are available for
use. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated
depreciation and impairment, and adjusted for any remeasurement of
lease liabilities. The cost of the right-of-use assets includes
amount of the initial measurement of lease liabilities recognised,
lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any
lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred, and
restoration costs.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line
method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives and the
lease terms.
When right-of-use assets meet the definition of investment
properties, they are presented in investment properties, and are
initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at fair value,
in accordance with the Group's accounting policy.
Payments associated with short-term lease and leases of
low-value assets (i.e. US$5,000 or less) are recognised on a
straight-line basis as an expense in profit and loss. Short-term
leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low value
assets comprised IT equipment and small items of office
furniture.
Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are recognised at the commencement of the
lease and are measured at the present value of lease payments to be
made over the lease term. Lease payments include fixed payments
(including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives
receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a
rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value
guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a
purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised and payments of
penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the
Group exercising that option. The variable lease payments that do
not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expense in the
period on which the event or condition that triggers the payment
occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group
uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date
if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily
determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease
liabilities is increased by the interest costs on the lease
liabilities and decreased by lease payments made. The carrying
amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a
modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the
in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to
purchase the underlying asset.
Interest is included as finance cost and charged to the profit
and loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liabilities for
each period.
Lease liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities
unless payments are within 12 months from the balance sheet
date.
(f) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Determination of lease term of contracts with renewal
options
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term
of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to
extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or
any period covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is
reasonably certain not to be exercised.
The Group has the option, under some of its leases to lease the
assets for additional terms. The Group applies judgement in
evaluating whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the option
to renew. That is, the Group considers all relevant factors that
create an economic incentive for it to exercise the renewal. After
the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there
is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within
its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise
the option to renew.
The assessment of whether the Group is reasonably certain to
exercise the options impacts the lease terms, which significantly
affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets
recognised.
Determination of discount rates
The Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease
commencement date as the discount rate to measure a lease liability
if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily
determinable. The Group applies the incremental borrowing rate with
reference to the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay
to borrow, over a similar term as that of the lease, the funds
necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use
asset in the country where it is located.

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 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.
(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 and forward foreign exchange contracts are
calculated by reference to market interest rates and foreign
exchange rates.
The fair values of unlisted investments 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 equity investments are
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 or
discounted cash flow by projecting the cash inflows from these
investments.
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the six
months ended 30th June 2019 and the year ended 31st December
2018.
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair
value at 30th June 2019 and 31st December 2018, by the levels in

The fair values of current debtors, bank balances and other
liquid funds, current creditors, current borrowings and current
lease liabilities are assumed to approximate their carrying amounts

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.
