Our business comprises three main areas: property investment, property trading and hotel investment. Founded in Hong Kong in 1972, Swire Properties is listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and, with its subsidiaries, employs more than 4,000 people. In Hong Kong, we have spent nearly 40 years developing Island East from an industrial area into one of Hong Kong’s best planned and most efficient business districts. Pacific Place, built on the former Victoria Barracks site, is now one of Hong Kong’s premier retail and business addresses. In Mainland China, Swire Properties has five major mixed-use projects either in operation or under development in Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Shanghai. Similar in scale and vision to our developments in Hong Kong, our Mainland properties are located in commercial districts near transport hubs. Swire Properties continues to expand its activities in the luxury residential market in Hong Kong. Under our Swire Hotels brand, we develop and manage urban hotels in Hong Kong, Mainland China and the United Kingdom. The Company has a significant presence in Miami, Florida, where it commenced business in 1980. It is in the process of developing Brickell CitiCentre, a large-scale mixed-use project in the Brickell financial district in Miami. The Company has also set up a representative office in Singapore to explore investment opportunities in the city. 2 Swire Properties Annual Report | 2011 Ten-Year Financial Summary 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 HK$M HK$M HK$M HK$M HK$M HK$M HK$M HK$M HK$M HK$M INCOME STATEMENT Turnover Property investment 4,693 4,366 4,060 4,382 4,872 5,663 6,901 7,516 7,953 8,651 Property trading 565 2,366 2,506 1,339 554 10 889 643 400 213 Hotel – – – – 27 148 156 172 518 717 5,258 6,732 6,566 5,721 5,453 5,821 7,946 8,331 8,871 9,581 Profit Attributable to the Company’s Shareholder Property investment 2,125 2,046 1,459 1,917 2,592 3,066 3,336 3,970 4,589 4,656 Property trading (269) 278 667 264 198 (43) 95 23 87 7 Hotels 23 9 80 104 126 175 73 (332) (109) (33) Change in fair value of investment properties (5,157) (2,688) 15,224 12,365 17,221 19,530 (236) 13,596 21,478 20,496 (3,278) (355) 17,430 14,650 20,137 22,728 3,268 17,257 26,045 25,126 Interim and final dividends for the year 1,025 1,254 1,141 2,303 1,532 1,652 2,966 25 2,426 11,067 Retained profit/(loss) (4,303) (1,609) 16,289 12,347 18,605 21,076 302 17,232 23,619 14,059 STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION Net Assets Employed Property investment 55,502 52,731 71,247 85,965 105,658 133,454 140,510 155,411 183,092 191,273 Property trading 4,855 3,593 1,555 701 1,448 2,762 3,496 3,772 6,303 6,581 Hotel 631 644 717 1,037 1,429 3,624 4,037 5,523 5,797 6,421 60,988 56,968 73,519 87,703 108,535 139,840 148,043 164,706 195,192 204,275 Financed by Equity attributable to the Company’s shareholder 41,815 40,237 56,533 70,027 88,229 109,605 110,305 129,815 157,877 176,043 Non-controlling interests 4,682 4,927 6,193 6,185 296 801 1,068 424 479 532 Net debt 14,491 11,804 10,793 11,491 20,010 29,434 36,670 34,467 36,836 27,700 60,988 56,968 73,519 87,703 108,535 139,840 148,043 164,706 195,192 204,275 HK$ HK$ HK$ HK$ HK$ HK$ HK$ HK$ HK$ HK$ Earnings/(loss) per share (0.60) (0.06) 3.17 2.67 3.67 4.14 0.60 3.14 4.58 4.40 Dividends per share 0.19 0.23 0.21 0.42 0.28 0.30 0.54 – 0.43 1.94 Equity attributable to shareholder per share 7.61 7.33 10.29 12.75 16.06 19.96 20.08 23.61 27.75 30.09 RATIOS Return on average equity attributable to the Company’s shareholder -7.5% -0.9% 36.0% 23.2% 25.4% 23.0% 3.0% 14.4% 18.1% 15.0% Gearing ratio 31.17% 26.14% 17.21% 15.08% 22.60% 26.66% 32.93% 26.46% 23.26% 15.69% Interest cover – times (2.80) 2.13 20.02 23.11 32.16 33.71 4.81 17.57 21.80 18.24 Dividend cover – times (3.20) (0.28) 15.28 6.36 13.14 13.76 1.10 N/A 10.74 2.27 UNDERLYING

    Relocating to Guangzhou

    The British School of Guangzhou Relocating to Guangzhou Welcome to one of the most populous, energetic and rapidly growing places in China. Estimated to have a population of about 16 million, Guangzhou is a thriving hub where people from all corners of the world converge for everything from business to pleasure. Under the flashy surface of this modern metropolis, lies a rich cultural tradition and a history that spans more than 2200 years. With so much on offer, it is no wonder that families are now choosing to call this city home. Many of our families say that moving to Guangzhou has been one of the most rewarding and fascinating decisions that they have made. If you’re in the midst of considering the big move, here is some handy information that will help you with your decision. Residential Options The majority of expats reside in Tianhe, the most developed downtown area. Several commercial buildings such as Center Plaza (P&G Headquarters), Teem Tower, Citic Plaza and China Shine are located here. This eastern district is also convenient for its proximity to bus, subway and rail links to Guangzhou and the rest of China. Grandview Mall and Teem Mall provide endless shopping options for families. Tianhe is home to several expat-friendly compounds such as Fraser Suites, Regal Court, Hilton Sunshine, Greenery, Favorview Palace, Concordia, Castle Peak and Citic Apartments, and luxury five star hotels like the Sheraton, Sofitel and Westin. Zhujiang New Town, a newer and pricier area that is also part of Tianhe District, is home to the city’s tallest buildings and several shopping malls such as GT Land and Happy Valley.
