During the year, the market was extremely volatile domestically and overseas with rapid changes in the global political and economic environment. Against this scenario, the Board and the management of the Group have made considerable efforts to integrate its financing activities and business operations and continued to focus on its principal businesses – infrastructure facilities, real estate and consumer products. These core businesses have also been further strengthened to improve operational efficiency. In addition, the Group has achieved stable growth for its business segments through developing new business arenas and enhancing its internal control. Capitalizing on activities in the capital market, the Group has also increased mergers and acquisitions activities and completed a number of material projects, building an excellent asset structure and laying a solid foundation for its long-term development. For the year ended 31 December 2016, the Group’s net profit amounted to HK$2,903 million, representing a year- on-year increase of 2.7% as compared to last year. The increase was mainly attributable to stable profitability growth for the year of our infrastructure facilities and consumer products businesses. The Group’s total revenue amounted to HK$22,132 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 12.4%. The Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of HK46 cents (2015: HK45 cents) per share for 2016. Together with an interim dividend of HK36 cents (2015: HK36 cents) per share and a special dividend of HK10 cents per share paid during the year, total dividends for the year amounted to HK92 cents (2015: HK81 cents) per share. During the year, the Group continued to build up a good momentum for the development of its three core businesses and achieve satisfactory growth. Of these, the toll roads business maintained a strong cash flow, water services business expanded rapidly, and the infrastructure facilities business recorded a profit of HK$1,397 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 22.9%. Furthermore, the toll roads and water services businesses acquired a number of high-quality assets through capital injections from the parent company as well as mergers and acquisitions in the market, further strengthening profitability for its core businesses. ANNUAL Report 2016 SHANGHAI INDUSTRIAL HOLDINGS LIMITED 5 Chairman’s STATEMENT The real estate business recorded a profit of HK$752 million for the year on the back of rapid developments in the domestic real estate market. It however represented a decrease of 15.4% over the previous year which was mainly attributable to extra profits recorded for the disposal of a 10% interest in the Four Season Hotel Shanghai during the last financial year. Excluding the impact from the extra gains, profits actually increased by 2.5% over last year. The consumer products business maintained steady growth against a difficult external environment, recording a net profit of HK$1,075 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 2.5%. INFRASTRUCTURE Business – CONTINUING TO GROW AND EXPAND ITS ASSET SIZE In September 2016, the Group acquired 23.0584% interests of Bridge Company from its parent company at a consideration of HK$1,803 million. This connected transaction was approved unanimously by the independent shareholders of the Company at an extraordinary general meeting. The acquisition has resulted in the injection of high-quality assets into the Group’s toll road business, helping to enhance its future profitability. During the year, the Group’s three existing high-quality toll roads continued to generate stable cash flow and recorded sustained growth. Traffic flow and revenue also increased overall, benefiting from a rising number of cars and tourist traffic. Considerable efforts were made to improve operational efficiency such as enhancing management standards for its roads, improving road maintenance and monitoring and to effectively prevent traffic jams. For the water services business, the Group continued to expand its asset size as planned and to improve the quality of its assets, further consolidating its market share in the industry. In October 2016, the Company and SI Environment acquired 20.2344% and 32.6562% shareholding interests – totaling 52.8906% in Longjiang Environmental for a cash consideration of RMB518 million and RMB836 million, respectively. Together with the 42.1094% shareholding interests already held by the Group, the acquisition brought the Group’s shareholding interests in Longjiang Environmental to 95%. In February 2017, a further acquisition of a 3.75% interest in Longjiang Environmental from an independent third party for a cash consideration of RMB96 million was made, bringing the Group’s shareholding interests to 98.75%. Longjiang Environmental is a leading company in the water services industry in Heilongjiang, and such acquisition represents an important strategic move in respect of the Group’s investments in the water services industry in the northeast China region.

  • China: Food Processing Ingredients
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 9/4/2015 GAIN Report Number: 15803 China - Peoples Republic of Food Processing Ingredients China's Food Processing Annual Report Approved By: Valerie Brown Prepared By: Susan Zhang, Wang Jun, Rex Zhang, Crystal Tang, Shawn Shen Report Highlights: This annual report reviews the development of China’s food industry in 2013 and 2014 and examines the trends of the food processing industry, as well as prospects of some U.S. ingredients during this period. Although investment, retail sales and industrial output showed signs of decelerating, China’s food industry sales values continued to grow steadily, and the food industry estimates its 2014 revenues amounted to RMB 12 trillion (nearly US$2 trillion). Given the huge demand for enough food to feed a population of 1.3 billion, coupled with increasing demand for quicker, safer and healthier food, China’s food industry is likely to see continued growth in the future. Many food manufacturers have launched new strategies, including employing high quality ingredients, introducing new technologies, and diversifying product lines. It is expected that this trend of introducing newer technologies, better food ingredients and more creative food innovations will improve the long-term prospects for China’s food industry. Propelled by increasing incomes, health and nutrition awareness, Chinese consumers are paying more attention to what they eat. On the regulatory front, we have recently seen lower tariffs for some ingredients. For example, pecans and some other tree nuts will enjoy lower tariffs as of 2015, and that will help the U.S.
