Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited
Half-Yearly Results for the Six Months ended 30th June 2020
Challenging first half, strong balance sheet and solid mid-term
prospects
Highlights
-- All businesses faced challenging market conditions
-- Underlying profit of US$373 million for the period to 30th
June 2020, down 49% against prior year
-- Some signs of business recovery in second quarter, but the outlook remains uncertain
-- Group's balance sheet and funding position remain strong
-- Interim dividend declared of USc44.00 per share, unchanged from the same period in 2019
"As expected, COVID-19 had a significant impact on the Group's
results in the first half, with Southeast Asia particularly
affected. It is expected that the pandemic will continue to create
uncertainty and volatility in the second half, making it difficult
to predict full year performance.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all my colleagues
across the Group for their continuing dedication, hard work and
professionalism during such challenging times.
The Group has a strong balance sheet and liquidity position and
will remain vigilant for value-adding opportunities should they
arise, despite the uncertain near-term outlook."

Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited
Half-Yearly Results for the Six Months ended 30th June 2020
Chairman's Statement
Overview
The Group's performance and profitability in the first half were
significantly impacted by COVID-19 and the restrictions imposed to
contain it. Greater China was mainly affected in the first quarter,
while Southeast Asia felt the impact of the pandemic increasingly
in the second quarter.
With the notable exception of Mandarin Oriental, the Group's
major businesses remained profitable in the first half, although at
materially lower levels than the same period last year. While there
were some signs of recovery in certain of the Group's businesses in
the second quarter (including the Group's property development and
motors businesses on the Chinese mainland), the possibility of
further waves of the pandemic makes it difficult to predict
performance in the second half.
Jardines remains resilient and well-positioned to achieve its
long-term growth objectives, reflecting the diversity of the
Group's businesses, the strength of their underlying business
models and the Group's clear strategic aims.
The Group also remains focussed on addressing changes in
customer behaviours, some of which may be permanent, and the need
for each of its businesses to adapt and align to new situations
resulting from COVID-19. The pandemic has further accelerated
change and disruption in our markets, and our people and businesses
are aiming to respond with speed and agility.
The balance sheet and liquidity of the Group remain robust.
Across the Group, extensive actions continue to be taken to manage
costs and preserve cash, including operational improvements to
ensure the long-term resilience of the business. The Group also has
access to substantial undrawn liquidity from committed lending
facilities.
Results
The Group's underlying profit for the first six months of 2020
was US$373 million, US$365 million, or 49%, below the corresponding
period last year, and underlying earnings per share were down 48%
at US $1.01 . The revenue of the Group for the period was 21% lower
at US$15.9 billion, while revenue, including 100% of associates and
joint ventures, was down 11% at US$44.9 billion.
Within the Group's businesses, Jardine Pacific's performance was
slightly down overall compared with the same period last year and
it remains a resilient, cash-generative group of businesses. HACTL
performed strongly, while the contributions from JEC and Jardine
Restaurants were solid. Jardine Schindler and Gammon delivered
weaker performances, and the contribution from Aviation Services
was significantly lower due to the challenges facing the aviation
sector.
Jardine Motors saw its results fall, with the UK business
materially impacted by lockdown measures and a weaker performance
from Zung Fu on the Chinese mainland and in Hong Kong in the first
quarter. There was, however, a higher contribution in the period
from the investment in Zhongsheng, relating to its performance for
the six months from July to December 2019.
Hongkong Land's office portfolio remained resilient in Hong Kong
and Singapore, but the provision of rent relief to tenants
negatively impacted Hong Kong retail profit. Profit from
Development Properties was lower in all the group's markets due to
fewer scheduled completions in the period.
Dairy Farm saw its overall profits fall significantly due to
reduced contributions from Health & Beauty, Maxim's and
Convenience Stores, all of which have been impacted by the severe
decline in tourism and pandemic-related restrictions. There were,
however, strong performances from the group's Grocery Retail
operations and Home Furnishings business.
Mandarin Oriental recorded a significant loss in the first half
of the year, as the majority of the group's hotels were closed
throughout the second quarter.
In Southeast Asia, Astra's performance was significantly weaker
in the period, with lower contributions from automotive, financial
services and heavy equipment and mining, and Jardine Cycle &
Carriage ('JC&C') also saw reduced contributions from Thaco and
its Motor businesses, which experienced declines in all markets due
to the temporary closure of operations.
The Group recorded a non-trading net loss in the first half of
US$1,148 million, compared with a non-trading net gain of US$1,516
million in the first half of 2019. This was as a result of the
biannual revaluations of investment properties in Hongkong Land -
which produced a net revaluation loss of US$933 million as values
were suppressed due to lower open market rents - and The Excelsior
site, which led to a US$222 million revaluation loss. In the first
half of 2019, a US$2.0 billion gain was recognised in the asset
revaluation reserves when the site was reclassified as a commercial
investment property. The Group recorded a loss attributable to
shareholders for the period of US$775 million, compared with a
profit of US$2,254 million in 2019.
Financial Position
The balance sheet and liquidity of the Group remain strong.
Across the Group, extensive actions continue to be taken to manage
costs, preserve cash and increase liquidity, including the
reduction, suspension or deferral of non-essential operating and
capital expenditure.
Shareholders' funds were US$28.9 billion at 30th June 2020,
compared with US$30.4 billion at 31st December 2019. Consolidated
net debt excluding financial services companies was US$5.4 billion
at 30th June 2020, representing gearing of 9%, compared with 7% at
31st December 2019. The Group had liquidity of US$13.9 billion,
consisting of US$7.6 billion in cash reserves and US$6.3 billion in
unused, committed debt facilities.
Dividend
The Board has declared an interim dividend of USc44.00 per
share, in line with last year. The Board will review the final
dividend for the year at the end of the second half.
Business Developments
Planning of Hongkong Land's prime mixed-use site in the West
Bund area of Shanghai is underway, with completion expected in
multiple phases through to 2027. Subject to relevant approvals by
the authorities, the group has conditionally reached agreements
with two strategic partners to jointly develop the site and
received a prepayment of US$2.3 billion in the first half, with a
further amount of US$320 million received in July. The land premium
and related costs of US$4.5 billion were paid in the first
half.
Dairy Farm's multi-year programme to reshape and reorganise the
business, adapting to the changing needs of customers, has never
been more relevant and continued to progress during the first half
of the year, despite the impact of the pandemic.
This week's launch of Yuu, expected to become Hong Kong's
largest loyalty programme, is an important milestone in Dairy
Farm's drive to modernise its business and achieve a digital
transformation of the group. The Yuu programme will be a key
enabler of Dairy Farm's objective of adopting a more
customer-centric approach across all its banners and driving
enhanced levels of consumer engagement. The divestment of Wellcome
Taiwan is expected to complete by the end of the year.
Mandarin Oriental signed one new management contract in the
period, for a hotel and residences in Vienna, which are scheduled
to open in 2023.
In May 2020, Astra completed the sale of its 44.56% stake in
Permata Bank for net consideration of US$1.1 billion. The disposal,
which followed the sale of the Group's interest in Jardine Lloyd
Thompson in 2019, has further reduced our exposure to a high risk
sector, realised a significant gain for the Group and helped ensure
that the business remains well-capitalised at both the Astra and
Jardine Matheson levels.
People
Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of employees during the
pandemic is a top priority and the Group's businesses have adopted
a range of appropriate health and safety measures.
Support from governments in a number of our key markets has
helped maintain employment.
We would like to thank all our colleagues for their continuing
dedication, hard work and professionalism during this challenging
time.
As planned and announced earlier in the year, I stepped down as
Group Managing Director on 15th June 2020 and was succeeded by John
Witt, formerly Group Finance Director. Graham Baker joined the
Board and was appointed as Group Finance Director with effect from
15th June 2020. I will continue as Group Chairman and look forward
to working with John, Graham and the wider leadership team in the
coming years.
Outlook
The pandemic continues to create uncertainty and volatility and
trading conditions in the second half are expected to continue to
be challenging. While there were some signs of recovery in certain
of the Group's businesses in the second quarter, the possibility of
further waves of the pandemic make it difficult to predict
performance in the second half.
The Group is focussed both on driving operational performance
across its businesses and on identifying and taking the potential
opportunities which are emerging from the pandemic to drive future
growth. The Group's strong balance sheet, long-term perspective and
liquidity will position it well to take advantage of these
opportunities as they arise.

Executive Chairman
Operating Review
Jardine Pacific
Jardine Pacific reported an underlying net profit of US$53
million in the first half, compared with US$56 million in the
equivalent period in 2019. The group remains resilient and
cash-generative. HACTL performed strongly and saw cargo throughput
maintained, and JEC had a solid start to the year, with improved
performances both in Hong Kong and regionally. Jardine Restaurants
saw mixed results across its banners, with strong delivery sales
for Pizza Hut in Hong Kong and Taiwan - thanks to a quick pivot
towards this by management - but weaker performances in its other
banners due to the impact of the pandemic. Gammon's contribution
was lower, with slower progress on several projects, while Jardine
Schindler also saw a number of projects in Southeast Asia delayed,
leading to a reduced contribution in the period. Jardine Aviation
Services delivered significantly lower results due to the
substantial fall in flight volumes, which is expected to continue
in the second half.
Jardine Motors
Jardine Motors saw its underlying net profit for the first half
fall by 43% to US$61 million. Zung Fu on the Chinese mainland
experienced a challenging first quarter, as factories and showrooms
closed due to the pandemic, the supply chain was disrupted and
there were lower margins from aftersales services. The second
quarter saw some recovery in demand, but it is difficult to predict
future performance given the uncertainty over the future impact of
the pandemic. Zung Fu in Hong Kong also saw poor margins in the
period due to weaker consumer sentiment. The United Kingdom
business was materially impacted by lockdown measures and made a
loss in the first half. Conditions in the UK market are expected to
remain challenging in the second half.
There was a higher contribution from the investment in
Zhongsheng, relating to its performance for the six months from
July to December 2019.
Hongkong Land
Hongkong Land's underlying profit attributable to shareholders
for the first six months was US$353 million, down 24% from the
equivalent period in 2019 . There was a loss attributable to
shareholders of US$1,828 million after accounting for a net
non-cash loss of US$2,180 million arising on the biannual
revaluation of investment properties, due to lower open market
rents. This compares with a profit attributable to shareholders of
US$411 million in the first half of 2019, which included a net
revaluation loss of US$55 million. The group's financial position
remains robust, with a strong balance sheet and liquidity.
The group's office portfolio in Hong Kong remained resilient,
despite subdued leasing activity, with vacancy at 5% at the end of
June 2020 (4.5% on a committed basis), compared to 2.9% at the end
of 2019. The Central retail portfolio was negatively impacted in
the first half by deteriorating consumer sentiment and various
measures introduced in Hong Kong to contain the pandemic. Vacancy
of 0.4% on both a physical and committed basis was virtually
unchanged compared to 0.3% at the end of 2019.
In Singapore, rental reversions remained positive in the group's
office portfolio in the first half and vacancy was 1.5% at the end
of June 2020 (1% on a committed basis), compared with 5% at the end
of 2019.
In Shanghai, planning of Hongkong Land's prime mixed-use site
along the Huangpu River in the Xuhui District is underway, with
completion expected in multiple phases through to 2027. The project
will substantially expand Hongkong Land's portfolio and provide it
with a significant presence in the predominant commercial hub of
the Chinese mainland, complementing its large-scale presence in the
other key Asian financial centres of Hong Kong and Singapore.
Since securing the site and subject to relevant approvals by the
authorities, the group has conditionally reached agreements with
two strategic partners to jointly develop the site, receiving a
prepayment of US$2.3 billion in the first half with a further
amount of US$320 million received in July. The land premium and
related costs of US$4.5 billion were paid in the first half. The
project will be funded by a combination of internal resources and
external funding.
On the Chinese mainland, as anticipated the profit contribution
from Development Properties in the first half of 2020 decreased
compared to the first half of 2019 due to fewer sales completions.
Market sentiment in the group's core markets started to recover in
the second quarter, following the temporary closure of all sales
galleries and the suspension of construction activities for some
two months in the first quarter as a result of the impact of the
pandemic. At 30th June 2020, the Group had US$2,183 million in sold
but unrecognised contracted sales, compared with US$1,860 million
at the end of 2019.
The profit contribution from the Singapore business in the first
half of 2020 was lower than in the first half of 2019, as sales
galleries and construction activities there were also suspended as
a result of the pandemic. The 309-unit Margaret Ville development
is 92% pre-sold, whilst pre-sales at the 1,404-unit Parc Esta and
the 638-unit Leedon Green projects have performed well under
current market conditions. The group's attributable interest in
contracted sales was US$301 million in the first half of 2020,
compared to US$255 million and US$414 million in the first and
second halves of 2019, respectively.
In the rest of Southeast Asia, construction activities at the
group's projects have largely been suspended or curtailed since
April and market sentiment remains subdued.
Dairy Farm
Dairy Farm saw sales of US$5.2 billion for the period by its
subsidiaries, 9% lower than the prior year. Underlying profit was
US$105 million, 40% lower than the same period last year.
In Health and Beauty, performance in North Asia was materially
affected by a continuing lack of overseas tourist customers in Hong
Kong, despite the business initially seeing strong demand for
personal protection equipment. The Southeast Asia business
performed well in the first quarter but was then impacted as social
distancing requirements began to take effect towards the end of the
first quarter.
The Convenience Stores business was impacted in the period by
movement restrictions and physical distancing requirements, as well
as temporary store closures on the Chinese mainland and reduced
customer numbers in Hong Kong and Singapore. Performance improved
over the course of the first half in Hong Kong and on the Chinese
mainland in particular, as various lockdown restrictions eased, but
it is difficult to predict performance for the rest of the year
given uncertainty over the future impact of the pandemic. Recovery
in Singapore has lagged behind that in North Asia.
Maxim's, the group's 50%-owned associate, saw a significant
reduction in customer numbers and a number of temporary store
closures, and reported a loss for the first half. The performance
of the business improved over the course of the second quarter, as
pandemic-related restrictions eased, but any return of restrictions
which reduce customer levels or require further temporary closures
of its outlets will impact future performance.
The Grocery Retail business saw improved profits. The strong
performance was underpinned by the ongoing execution of the group's
transformation plan and improvement programmes, as well as changing
customer behaviours as a result of the pandemic. The strong
turnaround momentum continued in Singapore and Malaysia as the
execution of improvement programmes and the group's space
optimisation plan both made a positive contribution, and there were
encouraging performances from new upscale formats and refreshed
stores. Market conditions in Indonesia remained challenging. The
divestment of Wellcome Taiwan is expected to complete by the end of
the year.
There was also a good performance from Home Furnishings, which
saw strong contributions from new stores, enhancements in the
margin mix and lower cost of goods in the period outweigh the
impact on customer visits of pandemic-related restrictions,
including temporary store closures.
Mandarin Oriental
Mandarin Oriental recorded a significant underlying loss of
US$102 million for the first half of the year, compared with a
profit of US$11 million in the equivalent period in 2019, despite
implementing a number of cost containment measures. In Europe and
America, all of the group's hotels were closed from late March
onwards. Hotels in Asia and the Middle East mostly remained open
during the first half but operated at very low occupancy levels
once anti-pandemic restrictions and border controls were imposed.
Combined total revenue of hotels under management fell by 57% in
the first half compared to the equivalent period last year, with
the majority of this decline occurring in the second quarter, which
saw an 86% decline against the prior year.
The group's flagship Hong Kong hotel remained open, but with
single-digit percentage occupancy levels for most of the second
quarter, and it made a loss during the first half. It did, however,
benefit from a partial recovery in food and beverage business when
government anti-pandemic measures were relaxed.
The group's hotels on the Chinese mainland saw a recovery in
occupancy levels in June to around 40%, and elsewhere a number of
the group's hotels have begun to reopen in anticipation of some
demand but, in many cases, this demand is expected to remain low
and not in line with normal market conditions. Overall a material
recovery in business levels is not expected until 2021 at the
earliest and a significant further loss is likely in the second
half of the year.
Jardine Cycle & Carriage
Jardine Cycle & Carriage reported an underlying profit for
the period of US$138 million, 66% lower than the equivalent period
last year. Profit attributable to shareholders fell by 30% to
US$301 million. The pandemic is expected to continue to adversely
impact performance for the rest of the year.
Astra's contribution to underlying profit fell by 47% to US$171
million. There were significantly weaker performances from its
automotive, financial services and heavy equipment and mining
operations.
The contribution from JC&C's Direct Motor Interests and
Thaco fell materially as automotive operations were forced to close
during the second quarter due to lockdown restrictions.
Thaco saw sales and margins impacted as a result of the
difficult market conditions. The contribution by Cycle &
Carriage Singapore was 95% lower than the same period last year, as
the business was impacted by a material reduction in the overall
passenger car market in Singapore and its market share also fell.
Tunas Ridean's contribution was 70% lower due to weaker
performances across its automotive, consumer finance and rental
operations. In Malaysia, Cycle & Carriage Bintang reported a
higher loss than in the same period last year, as sales and margins
both fell. M arket conditions are expected to remain difficult for
the remainder of the year.
There was a 5% lower contribution from Siam City Cement in
Thailand, reflecting weaker domestic performance, which was
partially offset by an improved contribution from its regional
operations, primarily in Vietnam. The contribution from
Refrigeration Electrical Engineering Corporation in Vietnam was
also lower, with weaker performances from its power and water
investments and its M&E business, partially offset by stronger
real estate contributions.
Vinamilk produced dividend income of US$12 million in the
period, compared to US$28 million in the same period last year ,
which included the 2019 interim dividend. Vinamilk's 2020 interim
dividend will be recognised later in the year. The business
reported a slightly higher profit in the first half, in local
currency terms, as domestic dairy and exports continued to
grow.
Astra
Excluding the gain on the disposal of its investment in Permata
Bank, Astra reported net profit equivalent to US$372 million, under
Indonesian accounting standards, 44% lower in its reporting
currency. This was mainly due to significantly lower contributions
from its automotive, financial services and heavy equipment and
mining businesses, partially offset by its agribusiness.
The pandemic containment measures implemented across Indonesia
caused severe disruption to Astra's operations, including the
temporary closure of its automotive manufacturing and distribution
operations. There was also a significant rise in the number of
restructured loans in its financial services businesses, in
response to government operating requirements. In addition,
depressed coal prices led to a deterioration in Astra's heavy
equipment, mining contracting and mining businesses.
Net income from Astra's automotive business fell by 79% to US$48
million, mainly due to a substantial fall in sales volumes,
especially in the second quarter. The overall wholesale car market
declined by 46% in the first half and Astra's car sales were 45%
lower, although it maintained its market share. The wholesale
motorcycle market declined by 42% in the period. Astra's Honda
motorcycle sales fell by 40%, but its market share increased from
75% to 77%. Components business Astra Otoparts reported a net loss
of US$20 million, compared with a profit of US$17 million in the
same period last year, mainly due to lower revenues from the
original equipment manufacturer and replacement market segments.
Market conditions are expected to remain difficult for the
remainder of the year.
Net income from Astra's financial services division fell by 25%
to US$142 million, primarily due to increased loan loss provisions
to cover higher non-performing loan losses in the consumer and
heavy equipment-focused finance businesses. Consumer finance
businesses saw a 16%, decrease in the amounts financed and the net
income contribution from the car-focused finance companies
decreased by 24%, while the contribution from the
motorcycle-focused financing business fell by 25%. In both cases
this was caused by higher loan loss provisioning, as non-performing
loans increased. Heavy equipment-focused finance operations saw a
14% decrease in the amounts financed. General insurance company
Asuransi Astra Buana reported a 4% decrease in net income to US$35
million, caused by lower underwriting income.
In May 2020, Astra completed its sale of its 44.56% stake in
Permata Bank for a net consideration of US$1.1 billion.
Net income from Astra's Heavy Equipment, Mining, Construction
and Energy division decreased by 29% to US$160 million, mainly due
to lower heavy equipment sales and mining contracting volume caused
by weaker coal prices. Market conditions are expected to remain
challenging for the rest of the year. United Tractors reported a
28% decrease in net income, while Komatsu heavy equipment sales
fell by 56%, and parts and service revenues were also lower. Mining
contracting operations reported lower overburden removal volume and
lower coal production. Coal mining subsidiaries achieved higher
coal sales but were affected by lower coal prices. Agincourt
Resources saw 4% lower gold sales. General contractor Acset
Indonusa, however, reported a 38% lower net loss of US$17 million,
mainly due to reduced funding costs.
Astra's infrastructure and logistics division reported a net
loss of US$6 million for the first half, compared to a net profit
of US$6 million for the same period in 2019, mainly due to lower
toll road revenues caused by lower traffic volumes. Serasi
Autoraya's net income decreased by 62% to US$2 million, primarily
as a result of lower operating margins, despite a 3% increase in
vehicles under leasing contract and higher used car sales.
Net income from Astra's Agribusiness division increased
significantly to US$21 million, due to higher crude palm oil
prices, especially in the first quarter.
Net income from Astra's information technology division was 64%
lower, primarily due to lower revenues in Astra Graphia's document
solution and office service businesses.
The group's property division saw net income increase, mainly
due to higher occupancy at Menara Astra and earnings recognised
from its development project, Asya Residences .

Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
1. Accounting Policies and Basis of Preparation
The condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' and on a going
concern basis. The condensed financial statements have not been
audited or reviewed by the Group's auditors pursuant to the UK
Auditing Practices Board guidance on the review of interim
financial information.
The Group had early adopted the 'Interest Rate Benchmark Reform:
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7' (effective 1st January
2020) for the Group's annual reporting period commencing 1st
January 2019.
There are no changes to the accounting policies as described in
the 2019 annual financial statements other than the following
changes in relation to rent concessions and government grants.
Other amendments which are effective in 2020 and relevant to the
Group's operations, do not have a significant effect on the Group's
accounting policies. The Group has not early adopted any other
standard or amendments that have been issued but not yet
effective.
COVID-19 Related Rent Concessions: Amendment to IFRS 16
Leases
The Group has early adopted the Amendment, which is effective
1st June 2020, for the Group's annual reporting period commencing
1st January 2020. Where the Group is a lessee, the practical
expedient is applied to account for the change in lease payments
resulting from rent concessions granted as a direct consequence of
the COVID-19 pandemic and elects not to assess these concessions as
lease modifications when all of the following conditions are
met:
(i) the revised lease payments are substantially the same as, or
less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding
the change;
(ii) reduction in lease payments relates to payment due on or before 30th June 2021; and
(iii) there is no substantive change to the other terms and conditions of the lease.
Rent concessions fulfilling the above conditions are recognised
in the profit and loss over the period in which they cover.
Government grants
Grants from government are recognised at their fair values where
there is reasonable assurance that the grants will be received, and
the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the
grants.
Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are
recognised in the profit and loss as other income on a systematic
basis in the period in which the expenses are recognised.
Unconditional grants are recognised in the profit and loss as other
income when they become receivable.
Grants related to assets are deducted in arriving at the
carrying value of the related assets.

Fair value estimation
(i) Financial instruments that are measured at fair value
For financial instruments that are measured at fair value
in the balance sheet, the corresponding fair value measurements
are disclosed by level of the following fair value measurement
hierarchy:
(a) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities ('quoted prices in
active markets')
The fair values of listed securities and bonds are based on quoted prices in active markets at the
balance sheet date.
The quoted market price used for listed investments held by the Group is the current bid price
(b) Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or
indirectly ('observable current market transactions')
The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined using rates quoted by the Group's
bankers at the balance
sheet date. The rates for interest rate swaps and caps, cross-currency swaps and forward foreign exchange
contracts are
calculated by reference to market interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
The fair values of unlisted investments mainly include club and school debentures, are determined using
prices quoted
by brokers at the balance sheet date.
(c) Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data ('unobservable inputs')
The fair values of other unlisted equity investments are determined using valuation techniques by
reference to observable
current market transactions (including price-to earnings and price-to book ratios of listed securities of
entities engaged
in similar industries) or the market prices of the underlying investments with certain degree of entity
specific estimates
or discounted cash flow by projecting the cash inflows from these investments.
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the six months ended 30th June 2020 and the year
ended 31st December
2019.
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value at 30th June 2020 and 31st December

payments
discounted at market interest rates.
