HONGKONG LAND HOLDINGS LIMITED
HALF-YEARLY RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30TH JUNE 2016
Highlights
· Underlying profit down 6%
· Commercial portfolio benefited from low market vacancy
· Steady contribution from mainland China residential business
· Profit attributable to shareholders enhanced by gain on property revaluations
"While the performance from the Group's commercial portfolio is expected to remain stable for the full year, earnings from the residential business are likely to be lower as an improved contribution from mainland China will be more than offset by lower contributions elsewhere."

# The Group uses 'underlying profit attributable to shareholders' in its internal financial reporting to distinguish between ongoing business performance and non-trading items, as more fully described in note 8 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 31st December 2015 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
The interim dividend of US¢6.00 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.
HONGKONG LAND HOLDINGS LIMITED
HALF-YEARLY RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30TH JUNE 2016
OVERVIEW
The Group's commercial portfolio provided a stable contribution as it benefited from lower levels of vacancy. In the residential sector, while profits from mainland China remained steady, there was a reduced contribution from Singapore.
PERFORMANCE
During the first half of the year, the Group's underlying profit attributable to shareholders 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.
The net asset value per share at 30th June 2016 was US$12.64, compared to US$12.19 at 31st December 2015.
The Directors have declared an unchanged interim dividend of US¢6.00 per share.
GROUP REVIEW
Commercial Property
In Hong Kong, low office vacancy levels continued to support the market. Vacancy in the Group's Central office portfolio at 30th June 2016 was 3.1%, compared with 3.4% at the end of 2015. Office rental reversions were positive, and the Group's average office rent rose to HK$103 per sq. ft, compared to HK$101 per sq. ft in both the first and second halves of 2015. The Group's Central retail portfolio remains fully occupied and the base rental reversions continued to be positive. Lower turnover rent, however, led to the average retail rent reducing to HK$216 per sq. ft, compared with HK$219 per sq. ft and HK$223 per sq. ft in the first and second halves of 2015, respectively.
In Singapore, vacancy in the Group's office portfolio had reduced to 1.0% at 30th June 2016 from 3.0% at the end of 2015 as previously committed space was taken up during the period.
In Beijing, the Group's luxury retail complex, WF CENTRAL at Wangfujing, is scheduled to open in the first half of 2017.
In Jakarta, work is continuing on the fifth tower at Jakarta Land, the Group's 50%-owned joint venture, which is on schedule for completion in 2018.
Residential Property
In the first six months of the year, the Group's attributable interest in contracted sales in mainland China was US$432 million, compared to US$328 million and US$474 million in the first and second halves of 2015, respectively. At 30th June 2016, the Group had US$885 million in sold but unrecognised contracted sales, compared with US$821 million at the end of 2015.
In Singapore, there were no projects completed in the first half of 2016, while two projects had been completed in the first half of 2015. The J Gateway project, which has been fully sold, is on schedule for completion in the second half of this year. Pre-sales continue at the LakeVille and Sol Acres projects, which are scheduled for completion in 2017 and 2018, respectively.
Of the Group's other residential developments, in Indonesia, work is progressing well on the 49%-owned joint venture project, Nava Park, and the 40%-owned joint venture project, Anandamaya Residences. Construction is also continuing in the Philippines at the 40%-owned joint venture project, Two Roxas Triangle, in Manila, and pre-selling has commenced at the 40%-owned joint venture, Mandani Bay, in Cebu.
Financing
The Group's financial position remained strong with net debt of US$2.3 billion at 30th June 2016, unchanged from the end of 2015. Gearing was 8%, unchanged from the end of last year.
PEOPLE
Y.K. Pang is stepping down as Chief Executive on 31st July 2016, while remaining a Director of the Group, and will be succeeded by Robert Wong. John Witt stepped down as Chief Financial Officer on 31st March 2016 and was replaced on 28th April by Simon Dixon. We were saddened by the death of Lord Leach in June 2016. He made a significant contribution to the Group and his wise counsel will be greatly missed.
OUTLOOK
While the performance from the Group's commercial portfolio is expected to remain stable for the full year, earnings from the residential business are likely to be lower as an improved contribution from mainland China will be more than offset by lower contributions elsewhere.

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 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 forward foreign exchange contracts are calculated by reference to market interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
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 analyses financial instruments carried at fair value at 30th June 2016 and 31st December 2015, by the levels in the fair value measurement hierarchy:
