CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

Overview

Jardine Cycle & Carriage produced a reasonable performance in the first quarter of 2009 in light of the prevailing difficult economic conditions. 

Performance

The Group recorded revenue of US$2.1 billion for the three months ended 31st March 2009, a decrease of 23%. Underlying profit at US$84 million was 34% lower and underlying earnings per share were down 35% at US¢23.76. Profit attributable to shareholders was US$88 million for the quarter, compared with US$128 million in 2008 after accounting for a non-trading gain arising from the sale of a 51% interest in Tunas Finance. 

Astra's contribution to the Group's underlying profit was US$79 million, down 34%. Lower profits were recorded in most of its major businesses and its contribution was reduced further by a weaker Rupiah exchange rate. The underlying profit contribution from the Group's other motor interests fell by 31% to US$8 million. Corporate costs were US$2 million.

The Group benefited from strong operating cash flows and its consolidated net cash, excluding borrowings within Astra's financial services operations, was US$9 million at 31st March 2009, compared to the net debt of US$157 million at the end of 2008. The net debt within Astra's financial services operations was lower at US$1.1 billion. The Company continued to be marginally cash positive.

The Board does not propose to declare a dividend for the three months ended 31st March 2009 (31st March 2008: Nil).

Group Review

Astra

Economic conditions in Indonesia were challenging in the first three months of 2009. The easing of inflationary pressures and lower interest rates, however, are expected to be positive for the market. Under the Indonesian accounting standards, Astra's reported net profit for the quarter declined 17% to the equivalent of US$161 million.

Automotive and Financial Services

Astra's automotive and financial services businesses contributed a profit of US$57 million to the Group's underlying profit, a decrease of 25%. 

The Indonesian wholesale motor vehicle market fell by 26% to 100,000 units, while Astra's sales declined by a lower rate of 13% to 58,000 units leading to an increased market share of 58%. The wholesale motorcycle market was 15% lower at 1.2 million units in the period. Sales by Astra Honda Motor were down by 9% at 585,000 units, resulting in a higher market share of 48%. Astra Otoparts' results were affected by a fall in export sales.

The activity within Astra's consumer finance operations reduced in line with automotive sales and financings were down by 10%. Bank Permata's results for the period were 5% lower.

Resources and Others

The contribution to the Group's underlying profit from Astra's resources and other businesses was down 46% at US$30 million. 

In agribusiness, 79.7%-held Astra Agro Lestari recorded a 74% fall in reported profit. The reduction was mainly due to sharply reduced crude palm oil prices achieved, which were on average 32% lower than the previous year, and a 9% fall in production. 

Earnings from 59.5%-held United Tractors for the quarter were 57% up following an increased contribution from both its coal mining activities and equipment sales. Mining contracting subsidiary, Pamapersada Nusantara, increased its coal extraction by 3% to 15 million tonnes and overburden removal by 22% to 122 million bcm, while sales from its own mines amounted to almost 700,000 tonnes. Despite a 46% decline in the number of Komatsu units sold, the profit from equipment sales rose due to favourable US dollar exchange rate movements, model mix and a greater turnover in higher margin parts. 

Other Motor Interests

Earnings arising from the Group's other motor interests were 31% lower at US$8 million. There were weaker performances from the Singapore motor operations and 38.3%-held Indonesian associate, Tunas Ridean. Modest profit contributions were produced by 59.1%-owned Malaysian subsidiary, Cycle & Carriage Bintang and by 20.5%-held Vietnamese associate, Truong Hai Auto Corporation.

Outlook

While it is too early to assess the full effect of the global economic downturn, the Group's results for the half year will inevitably be affected by the reduced level of business activity. Nevertheless, Jardine Cycle & Carriage's sound balance sheet and the strong market positions of its businesses leave it well placed to face the current difficulties.

Basis of preparation

 

The financial statements are consistent with those set out in the 2008 audited accounts which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). There have been no changes to the accounting policies described in the 2008 audited accounts except for the adoption of the new standards amendments and interpretations shown below:

Hedges of a Net Investment in a Foreign Operation

The adoption of these new standards, amendments and interpretations did not have a material impact on the results of the Group.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. Estimates and judgments used in preparing the financial statements are regularly evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.
