CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

 

Overview

 

Jardine Cycle & Carriage ("JC&C" or "the Group") delivered strong results in the first half of 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, mainly due to higher contributions from Astra and THACO.

 

Astra contributed US$465 million to the Group's underlying profit, 58% higher than the same period last year, driven primarily by improved economic conditions and higher commodity prices.

 

THACO contributed US$52 million, 43% higher than the same period last year, due to a strong automotive performance.

 

Direct Motor Interests contributed US$28 million, an increase of 20% compared to the same period last year. Lower profits from the Singapore operations were offset by an improved performance by Tunas Ridean in Indonesia.

 

Other Strategic Interests contributed US$34 million, 13% higher than the same period last year, mainly due to higher profits from Siam City Cement and REE.

 

Exchange losses of US$35 million from the translation of foreign currency loans at JC&C parent company were higher than in the same period last year. Other corporate costs saw an increase mainly due to higher net financing charges.

 

The Group's underlying profit attributable to shareholders increased by 51% to US$522 million. After accounting for non-trading items, which mainly comprised unrealised gains and losses arising from the revaluation of the Group's equity investments, the Group's profit attributable to shareholders was US$487 million, compared to US$226 million in the same period last year.

 

The Group's consolidated net cash position, excluding the net borrowings from Astra's financial services subsidiaries, was US$884 million at the end of June 2022, compared to US$770 million at the end of 2021. Net debt within Astra's financial services subsidiaries was at US$2.4 billion. JC&C parent company's net debt was US$1.5 billion at the end of June 2022.

 

During the first half of the year, JC&C slightly increased its interest in Cycle & Carriage Bintang from 89.0% to 89.99%, through on-market purchases. In July, it announced a general offer to acquire the remaining shares in the company. JC&C also increased its interest in REE from 31.0% to 32.9%.

Astra

 

Astra contributed US$465 million to JC&C's underlying profit, 58% higher than the same period last year. Excluding the unrealised gain from the revaluation of its equity investments, Astra reported a net profit equivalent to US$998 million under Indonesian accounting standards, with stronger performances from all its businesses, and particularly its automotive, financial services, heavy equipment and mining operations.

 

Automotive

 

Net income increased by 29% to US$295 million, reflecting higher sales volumes. Key points are as follows:

 

· The wholesale car market increased by 21% in the first half to 475,000 units. Astra's car sales were 23% higher at 259,000 units, with its market share increasing from 53% to 54%. 

· The wholesale market for motorcycles decreased by 8% in the first half to 2.2 million units. Astra's Honda motorcycle sales were 13% down to 1.6 million units due to production constraints caused by semiconductor supply issues, which led to a decline in market share from 77% to 73%.

· Components business, Astra Otoparts, reported a 62% increase in net profit to US$30 million, mainly due to higher revenues from the original equipment manufacturer and replacement market segments.

 

Financial Services

 

Net income increased by 36% to US$200 million due to higher contributions from the consumer finance businesses. Key points are as follows:

 

· Consumer finance businesses saw an 18% increase in the amounts financed to US$3.3 billion. The net income contribution from the car-focused finance companies increased by 47% to US$57 million due to larger loan portfolios, and the contribution from the motorcycle-focused financing business increased by 60% to US$103 million, mainly due to lower levels of non-performing loans.

· General insurance company, Asuransi Astra Buana, reported a 6% increase in net income to US$44 million, due to higher underwriting income and investment income.

 

Heavy Equipment, Mining, Construction and Energy

 

Net income increased significantly from US$187 million to US$427 million, mainly due to improved profits from heavy equipment sales, mining contracting and coal mining, all of which benefited from higher coal prices. However, coal operating volumes were adversely impacted by the temporary coal export ban. Key points are as follows:

 

·

Komatsu heavy equipment sales increased from 1,361 units to 2,900 units, while revenue from its parts and service business was also higher.

·

Mining contracting operations reported a 13% decrease in coal production at 50 million tonnes but saw a 7% increase in overburden removal volume at 437 million bank cubic metres.

·

Coal mining subsidiaries reported a 8% decline in coal sales at 5.8 million tonnes, including 1.3 million tonnes of metallurgical coal. However, this volume impact was more than offset by higher coal selling prices.

·

Agincourt Resources saw 18% lower gold sales at 144,000 oz.

·

General contractor, Acset Indonusa, reported a net loss of US$8 million in the period, compared to a net loss of US$11 million in the same period last year. The company continued to be impacted by the slowdown of several ongoing projects and reduced construction project opportunities during the pandemic.

 

 

Agribusiness

 

Net income increased by 25% to US$44 million, mainly due to improved crude palm oil prices which offset lower sales resulting from the temporary export ban on palm oil.

 

Infrastructure and Logistics

 

Astra's infrastructure and logistics division reported an increase in net profit from US$6 million to US$24 million, mainly due to improved performance in its toll road businesses, which saw a 34% 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 US$52 million profit, 43% up compared to the same period last year, mainly due to a strong automotive performance supported by a temporary reduction in registration fees for locally-assembled vehicles. THACO's automotive unit sales were up 54%, with market share increasing from 22% to 29%, while margins also increased due to an improved sales mix.

 

Direct Motor Interests

 

The Group's Direct Motor Interests contributed a US$28 million profit, 20% up compared to the same period last year. Key points are as follows: 

 

· Cycle & Carriage Singapore's contribution was 41% lower at US$11 million. Passenger car sales fell 25% to 3,144 units as sales volume was adversely impacted by the tightened COE cycle and stock supply shortages. Its market share, however, increased from 16% to 19%.

· In Indonesia, Tunas Ridean contributed US$15 million, compared to US$7 million in the same period last year, supported by improved profitability across its automotive and financial services businesses.

· Cycle & Carriage Bintang in Malaysia contributed a profit of US$3 million, compared to US$0.2 million in the same period last year. Despite challenging trading conditions, its financial performance benefited from improved business volume due to the sales tax reduction and cost savings initiatives.

 

Other Strategic Interests

 

The Group's Other Strategic Interests contributed a US$34 million profit, 13% up compared to the same period last year. Key points are as follows:

 

· The contribution from Siam City Cement was US$15 million, 9% higher than the previous year. Its performance was supported by improved cement volumes and prices in most of its markets, despite being adversely impacted by inflationary pressure and high energy costs.

· REE's contribution of US$9 million, based on its first-quarter results, was 71% higher than the previous year. The better result was mainly due to an improved performance from its hydropower investments, due to favourable hydrography.

· The Group's investment in Vinamilk produced a dividend income of US$9 million, compared to US$11 million last year. Vinamilk reported a 20% decrease in net profit, mainly due to higher raw material and transportation costs.

 

Corporate Costs

 

Corporate costs totalled US$57 million, compared to US$37 million in the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to higher foreign exchange losses from the translation of foreign currency loans, and higher net financing charges.

 

Dividend

 

The Board has declared an interim one-tier tax-exempt dividend of US¢28 per share (2021: US¢18 per share) for the half-year ended 30th June 2022, reflecting its decision to pay out a higher share of the full-year dividend as interim.

 

People

 

Mr Anthony Nightingale, a non-executive director of JC&C and former Chairman of the Board (2002-2012), will be retiring from the Board on 31st July 2022. On behalf of the Board, I would like to record our deep appreciation to Anthony for his valuable contribution and past leadership during his long tenure on the Board.

 

Outlook 

 

The Group expects results in the second half of the year to remain strong, although it remains cautious as a result of global economic challenges, ongoing geopolitical developments and the continuing impact of the pandemic.

Jardine Cycle & Carriage Limited

Notes to the financial statements for the six months ended 30th June 2022

 

1 Basis of preparation

 

The condensed interim financial statements for the six months ended 30th June 2022 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 annual financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2021. There have been no changes to the accounting policies described in the 2021 audited accounts which have been prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) ("SFRS(I)") and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), 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$1.3922 (2021: US$1=S$1.3517), US$1=RM4.4035 (2021: US$1=RM4.1735), US$1=IDR14,848 (2021: US$1=IDR14,269), US$1=VND23,254 (2021: US$1=VND22,790) and US$1=THB35.27 (2021: US$1= THB33.318).

 

The exchange rates used for translating the results for the period are US$1=S$1.3687 (2021: US$1=S$1.3328), US$1=RM4.2868 (2021: US$1=RM4.1096), US$1=IDR14,495 (2021: US$1=IDR14,360), US$1=VND22,958 (2021: US$1=VND23,042) and US$1=THB33.856 (2021: US$1=THB31.016).

 

Interpretations and amendments to published standard effective in 2022

 

There are no changes to the accounting policies as described in the 2021 annual financial statements and the Group has not early adopted any standard or amendments that have been issued but not yet effective. A number of amendments were effective from 1st January 2022. The more important amendments applicable to the Group is as follows:

 

Amendments to IAS 37 - Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (effective from 1st January 2022)

The amendments clarify that for the purpose of assessing whether a contract is onerous, the cost of fulfilling the contract includes both the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. The Group applied the amendment from 1st January 2022 and there is no significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

 

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 were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2021.

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.

During the six months ended 30th June 2022, the GoTo investment was transferred from Unobservable inputs category to Quoted prices in active markets category. There were no transfers among the three categories during the year ended 31st December 2021.

 

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.
