CKHH 2015 Interim Results Page 3 of 98 Summary of CKHH six months management pro forma results In order to allow a comparison of the operating performance of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2015, management pro forma financial results have been prepared as if the Reorganisation was effective on 1 January 2015 (the “Pro Forma Results”). The Pro Forma Results for the half include contributions from comparable interests in businesses carried on by HWL in 2014 (“Comparable Contributions”) and contributions from additional interests in such businesses and interests in new businesses acquired as a result of the Reorganisation (“Additional Contributions”). Comparable Contributions for the period ended 30 June 2014 are as reported in the Financial Performance Summary presented in HWL’s 2014 Interim Report. The Pro Forma Results are analysed as follows: Six months Six months ended ended 30 June 2015 30 June 2014 HK$ millions HK$ millions Change Total Revenue Comparable revenue 186,754 196,671 -5% Additional Contributions 10,265 - NA 197,019 196,671 - EBITDA Comparable EBITDA 41,124 42,587 -3% Additional Contributions 5,041 - NA 46,165 42,587 +8% EBIT Comparable EBIT 27,577 26,815 +3% Additional Contributions 3,100 - NA 30,677 26,815 +14% Profit attributable to ordinary shareholders before profits on disposal of investments & others Comparable profits 13,560 10,220 +33% Additional Contributions 1,378 - NA 14,938 10,220 +46% Declines in Comparable Contributions mainly reflect the reduced contribution of Husky Energy and adverse foreign currency translation effects, mainly European currencies, and have been more than offset by the Additional Contributions, lower depreciation and amortisation and lower effective interest rates. Pro forma recurring earnings per share was HK$3.87. CKHH 2015 Interim Results Page 4 of 98 CKHH Six Months Management Pro Forma Results As a result of the Reorganisation, the Group now holds assets under five core businesses: Ports, Retail, Infrastructure, Energy and Telecommunications in over 50 countries. Recurring profit attributable to ordinary shareholders for the first half 2015 excluding property and hotels businesses carried on by HWL in the first half of 2014 and, before profits on disposal of investments and others, was HK$14,938 million, a 46% increase compared to HK$10,220 million for the first half 2014 results of the HWL’s businesses. This increase is comprised of a 33% increase in Comparable Contributions from HK$10,220 million in 2014 to HK$13,560 in 2015 plus Additional Contributions of HK$1,378 million in 2015. It also reflects lower depreciation and amortisation as a result of a lower telecommunication asset base and also lower effective interest rates. Except for Husky Energy, which has been adversely affected by weak oil prices since the last quarter in 2014, performances of all core businesses remain robust and delivered solid underlying earnings growth in local currencies.
