The Board has proposed a final dividend of HK$0.60 per share, making
total dividend of HK$0.79 per share for 2012. For the six months ended
December 31, 2011, we paid HK$0.38 per share.
Against the last corresponding period, turnover and net profit
attributable to shareholders increased by 27% and 64%, respectively;
earnings per share also increased by 64%. The significant increases
were mainly due to sustained growth in leasing income as well as
increases in property sales and gain on disposal of certain non-core
investment properties during the year.
The underlying net profit attributable to shareholders, being profit after
taxation without taking into account the net revaluation gain, amounted
to HK$3,564 million, increased by 256% and 83%, respectively, against
the 2011 financial period and the last corresponding period.
Our core business, property leasing in Hong Kong and mainland China,
continued to perform well under a subdue economic environment. Both
rental turnover and leasing profit increased by 112% to HK$6,711 million
and HK$5,313 million, respectively, against the 2011 financial period.
The growth in both rental turnover and leasing profit was 10% when
compared with the last corresponding period. When excluding the effect
of non-core investment properties disposed of during 2012, the overall
rental growth between the two corresponding periods would be 13%.
Rental turnover and operating profit generated from Hong Kong
investment properties grew by 104% and 105% to HK$3,185 million
and HK$2,645 million, respectively, when compared with the 2011
financial period. Against the last corresponding period, the increases in
such rental turnover and operating profit were 3% and 4%, respectively.
Rental turnover would be up 9% in 2012 should the effect of the
disposed investment properties be excluded.
With the grand opening of Forum 66 shopping mall in late September
2012, mainland China investment properties achieved 120% growth
to HK$3,526 million for rental turnover and HK$2,668 million for
operating profit when compared with the 2011 financial period.
Against the last corresponding period, growth in rental turnover and
operating profit was 17%.
