Jardine Strategic Holdings Limited
Preliminary Announcement of Results
For The Year Ended 31st December 2016
Overview
The Group produced a satisfactory result for the year as most of
its businesses traded well. Good performances were seen in Jardine
Matheson where Jardine Motors and most of Jardine Pacific's
activities did well, although Jardine Lloyd Thompson faced
challenging markets. Dairy Farm made further progress in highly
competitive retail markets and steady performances were seen in
Hongkong Land's operations. Astra produced some very good trading
results, although its profit growth was held back by provisions in
its banking affiliate, while Jardine Cycle & Carriage saw good
contributions from its non-Astra interests. Mandarin Oriental saw
more difficult trading in some key markets. The Group's balance
sheet benefited from enhanced asset values in Hongkong Land.
Performance
The Group's revenue for 2016, including 100% of revenue from
Jardine Matheson, associates and joint ventures, was US$72.4
billion, compared with US$65.3 billion in 2015. Jardine Strategic
achieved an underlying profit before tax for the year of US$3,522
million, an increase of 6%. The underlying profit attributable to
shareholders was up 1% at US$1,438 million, while underlying
earnings per share at US$2.45 were 3% higher following share
repurchases made during the year.
The profit attributable to shareholders of US$2,741 million
included a US$1,248 million share of Hongkong Land's increase in
the value of its investment property portfolio and net gains of
some US$55 million. This compares with US$1,955 million in 2015,
that included a more modest increase in property valuations.
The Group's profit generation, cash flows and retained earnings
have supported continued investment enabling high levels of capital
expenditure to be combined with low levels of debt. The Group's
capital investment, including expenditure on properties for sale,
exceeded US$3.3 billion in 2016, in addition to which its
associates and joint ventures had capital investment of US$2.3
billion. Three of Astra's operations, Permata Bank, Astra Agro
Lestari and Acset Indonusa, raised equity through rights issues
during the year to enhance their balance sheets and fund
growth.
The Group's consolidated net debt at the end of the year,
excluding financial services companies, was US$2.0 billion,
representing gearing of 4%, which compares to US$2.4 billion at the
end of 2015 with gearing of 5%.
The Board is recommending a final dividend of USc21.00 per
share, which increases the dividend by 5% for the full year to
USc30.00 per share.
Business Developments
With most of the Group's businesses concentrated in Greater
China and Southeast Asia, they benefit from the ongoing economic
development of the Region and the demands for products and services
from a growing middle class. Despite China's ongoing economic
challenges, its economy saw relatively stable growth during 2016,
with retail sales in particular showing promise at the year end.
During the year, the Group continued the development of its
business networks and operating activities in key commercial
centres across the Mainland, and produced good performances in the
retail, property and motor sectors. In Southeast Asia, Astra in
Indonesia was able to capture market share in the automotive
segment with new model launches, while increases in raw material
prices should bring further benefits.
Within Jardine Matheson, Jardine Pacific saw steady trading in
most of its businesses during 2016, although Gammon's result was
affected by a problem civils contract. Jardine Motors enjoyed a
very good year as Zung Fu's mainland China operations achieved
increased sales and higher margins. Dealership affiliate,
Zhongsheng, also benefited from the strengthening of the Mainland
market and reported much improved profitability. Jardine Lloyd
Thompson reported a good result set against the continued
challenging economic and trading environment, and while the
weakness of sterling in the second half was a positive factor in
JLT's reported results, the benefit was largely reversed on
consolidation in the Group's US dollar results.
Hongkong Land had another good year as its commercial markets
remained relatively firm and there was another steady contribution
from residential property developments. The value of the group's
commercial portfolio in Hong Kong increased by 12% due to office
capitalization rates falling further with strong investment demand
and rental growth. The group is currently developing a range of
commercial and residential projects in mainland China and Southeast
Asia, while its strong financial position with ample liquidity and
low gearing is allowing it to pursue further opportunities in its
chosen markets.
Dairy Farm produced sound profit growth in retail markets that
remained highly competitive. Its Hong Kong operations continued to
trade well, but challenges persisted for a number of its Southeast
Asian banners, particularly in Malaysia. In mainland China, Yonghui
saw a strong profit improvement, and its contribution was enhanced
by the inclusion of its results for a full twelve months. Dairy
Farm is making progress in its transformation to compete
effectively in an evolving retail landscape, which it is supporting
with investment in its supply chain, IT infrastructure and systems,
and in the skills and expertise of its people.
Mandarin Oriental's hotels remained focused on maintaining or
enhancing their market leadership positions, but weaker demand in
the group's key cities of Hong Kong, London and Paris meant that
its earnings were lower. Mandarin Oriental continues to pursue
expansion opportunities around the world and has a number of hotel
management contracts at various stages of development. It recently
announced a management contract for a new hotel and residences in
Honolulu, Hawaii to open in 2020.
Jardine Cycle & Carriage produced a satisfactory performance
in 2016 as Astra's results improved, the Indonesian rupiah exchange
rate was stable, and there were increased contributions from its
other interests. The group is pursuing expansion in Southeast Asia,
through supporting the growth of Astra in Indonesia, strengthening
its other motor interests, and investing in market-leading
companies that provide exposure to new business sectors.
Astra had a better year in 2016. Strong performances from its
automotive businesses led to increased market shares of 56% for
cars and 74% for motorcycles. Most of the group's financial
services businesses performed well, with the principal exception of
Permata Bank where a material increase in its loan-loss provisions
led to a significant loss. Prospects for Astra's heavy equipment
and mining activities improved in the final quarter as coal prices
started to recover. Its agribusiness also benefited from rising
crude palm oil prices, although its 2016 performance was hampered
by lower production due to the effects of poor weather. Astra
continues to seek investment opportunities in Indonesia to expand
its existing activities and move into new sectors, and during the
year took additional stakes in toll roads and progressed its
property development interests.
People
Y.K. Pang joined the Board on 1st August 2016.
We were saddened by the death of Lord Leach in June 2016. He
made a significant contribution to the Group over 33 years and his
intellect and wise counsel will be greatly missed.
Outlook
The Group companies traded steadily in 2016 and it is expected
that they will continue in a similar vein in 2017, while at the
same time steps are being taken to improve their underlying
performances and invest in key areas for future growth.

Operating Review
Jardine Matheson
Jardine Matheson achieved an underlying profit before tax for
the year of US$3,729 million, an increase of 6%. The underlying
profit attributable to shareholders was up 2% at US$1,386 million,
while underlying earnings per share were 2% higher at US$3.71. The
profit attributable to shareholders for the year was US$2,503
million, mainly due to an increase in the value of Hongkong Land's
investment property portfolio. This compares with US$1,799 million
in 2015, which also benefited from a small increase in property
valuations.
-- Jardine Pacific
Jardine Pacific produced an underlying net profit of US$135
million in 2016, a reduction of 5% largely as a result of the sale
of its shipping business in 2015. The profit attributable to
shareholders was US$57 million, after taking into account property
valuations and goodwill impairments principally against its IT
operations, which compares with US$145 million in 2015. Within its
engineering and construction activities, Jardine Schindler
continued its good performance, JEC also did well to generate
improved earnings, and while Gammon's contribution was lower
following the underperformance of a civils contract its order book
has remained steady at US$3.8 billion. Jardine Restaurants produced
good profit growth, helped by tax benefits in Taiwan. The
continuing Transport Services businesses reported stable
contributions, with a slight increase in cargo throughput seen at
Hactl. There was a somewhat better result from JTH Group, but
following a review of its IT distribution business, a US$73 million
impairment of goodwill was recorded.
-- Jardine Motors
Jardine Motors recorded a much improved underlying profit that
was up 43% at US$110 million as Zung Fu in mainland China achieved
higher sales of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars at enhanced margins
and better performances from its after-sales operations. While it
faced declining sales and margins in softer markets in Hong Kong
and Macau, it is developing a new flagship centre on Hong Kong
Island, primarily financed by proceeds from the disposal of
existing properties. In the United Kingdom, higher vehicle sales
and stable margins were achieved, but a weaker sterling exchange
rate led to a lower earnings contribution.
Zhongsheng, one of mainland China's leading motor dealership
groups in which Jardine Strategic now holds a 15.5% interest,
announced a significant improvement in profitability in 2016 as a
result of increased sales and better margins.
-- Jardine Lloyd Thompson
JLT's total revenue for 2016 was US$1,698 million, an increase
of 9% in its reporting currency. While underlying trading profit
was up 3% in its reporting currency at US$260 million, it was 9%
lower at constant rates of exchange. This reflects a weaker
first-half performance in its UK Employee Benefits business and the
development cost of its US Specialty business. On conversion into
US dollars and after adjusting for restructuring costs, JLT's
contribution to the Group's underlying profit was 20% lower than
the prior year.
JLT's Risk & Insurance businesses produced a 4% increase in
revenues at constant rates of exchange. Good performances were seen
in its Specialty and Reinsurance businesses as well as its Asian
and Latin American operations, with progress continuing to be made
in its new US Specialty business. The revenues of its Employee
Benefits operations were down 1% at constant rates of exchange
following the impact on the UK business of structural changes in
the industry, although profits started to recover in the second
half of the year. The International Employee Benefits operations
delivered 5% revenue growth at constant rates of exchange.
Hongkong Land
Hongkong Land's underlying profit in 2016 was 6% lower at US$848
million. Good results were seen in its commercial portfolio and its
residential sector profits were marginally lower, but its overall
earnings declined in the absence of a gain recorded in 2015 on a
redeveloped property in Hong Kong. The profit attributable to
shareholders was US$3,346 million after accounting for net
non-trading gains of US$2,498 million recorded on the revaluation
of the group's investment properties. This compares to US$2,012
million in 2015, which included net valuation gains of US$1,107
million. Hongkong Land remains well-financed with net debt of
US$2.0 billion at the year end and net gearing of 6%.
In commercial property, limited competitive supply in the Hong
Kong office leasing market benefited the group's Central portfolio,
with year-end vacancy of 2.2% and rental reversions remaining
positive. The retail portion of the portfolio was fully occupied
and base rental reversions were largely positive, although the
impact of turnover rent led to reduced rental income. The group's
Singapore office portfolio was almost fully let, but the average
rent decreased slightly. In mainland China, construction of the
group's luxury retail and hotel complex in Beijing is on target,
with the retail component opening later in 2017 and the Mandarin
Oriental Hotel due to open in 2018. In Jakarta, the fifth tower at
Jakarta Land, the group's 50%-owned joint venture, is due to
complete in 2018.
In Hongkong Land's residential developments, revenue recognized
in mainland China during the year, including attributable interests
in joint ventures, increased by 34%, but the profit contribution
was flat due to the product mix and a weaker Chinese currency. The
group's attributable interest in contracted sales was 38% higher in
2016 at US$1,105 million. The construction of the 50%-owned New
Bamboo Grove in Chongqing began in mid-2016 and is progressing
well. Results from the Singapore residential business declined
marginally due to lower provision write-backs on completed
developments. Of Hongkong Land's other residential interests, the
developments in Indonesia and the Philippines are progressing
well.
Dairy Farm
Dairy Farm produced sound profit growth despite soft consumer
spending and pressure on pricing in most of its markets. Sales by
subsidiaries in 2016 were up 1% at US$11.2 billion. Total sales,
including 100% of associates and joint ventures, were 14% higher at
US$20.4 billion as Yonghui produced stronger growth and an
additional three months' contribution. Dairy Farm's underlying
profit was up 7% at US$460 million, with the increase being largely
attributable to improved operating margins in its Food and Home
Furnishings divisions and strong contributions from both Yonghui
and Maxim's. The group's operations continue to generate good net
cash flows, although somewhat reduced from 2015 due to timing
differences on working capital movements. A further US$190 million
was invested in Yonghui in August to maintain Dairy Farm's
shareholding at 19.99%.
Further progress was made by Dairy Farm in pursuit of its
strategic objectives in 2016 as it took measures to compete
effectively in an evolving retail landscape and grow its market
share. Its e-commerce offerings were improved, with initiatives in
its Home Furnishings, Food and Health and Beauty operations. Range
enhancements were introduced in all of its formats in areas such as
fresh produce, ready-to-eat and corporate brands. Dairy Farm is
using its scale to provide an increasingly extensive international
product range at more attractive prices, while its customers are
benefiting from improved store networks and further investment in
quality assurance.
Dairy Farm's continuing operations, including associates and
joint ventures, added a net 114 stores during the year after the
rationalization of some underperforming stores. At 31st December
2016, the group had 6,548 stores in operation in eleven countries
and territories, including its interest in 487 Yonghui stores in
mainland China.
Mandarin Oriental
Mandarin Oriental faced softer demand in many of its key markets
throughout 2016 resulting in its underlying profit reducing to
US$57 million, compared with the US$90 million in the prior year.
Profit attributable to shareholders was US$55 million, compared to
US$89 million in 2015.
The group's hotels in Hong Kong, London and Paris were
particularly affected by reduced demand, while its London property
was also impacted by an 18-month renovation programme which began
in September. The group saw a positive trading environment in
Tokyo, a return to normal operations in Munich following a public
area renovation, and a contribution from the newly acquired equity
interest in Mandarin Oriental, Boston. There were, however, weaker
performances in Washington D.C. and Jakarta.
Mandarin Oriental completed the US$140 million acquisition of
its Boston hotel in April 2016. In July, it announced 30 branded
residences adjacent to Mandarin Oriental, Bali, both of which are
due to open in mid-2018, and in February 2017 it announced a
management contract for a new hotel and residences in Honolulu,
Hawaii to open in 2020. The group has eleven hotels under
development, which are expected to open in the next five years,
with the next hotel opening in Doha expected later this year.
Mandarin Oriental currently operates 29 hotels and eight residences
in 19 countries and territories.
Jardine Cycle & Carriage
Jardine Cycle & Carriage's underlying profit was 7% higher
at US$679 million. Profit attributable to shareholders was US$702
million after accounting for a net non-trading profit of US$23
million, compared with US$691 million in 2015 after a net
non-trading gain of US$59 million. Astra's contribution of US$500
million was up 6%. The group's Direct Motor Interests contributed
US$167 million, up 18%, while the contribution from its Other
Interests was 11% higher at US$33 million.
Within the Direct Motor Interests, the 25%-owned Truong Hai Auto
Corporation in Vietnam had a good year with its contribution up 10%
at US$94 million following a good performance from its automotive
operations and initial profits from a new real estate business.
Earnings from the wholly-owned Singapore motor operations rose 26%
to US$49 million following an increase in the number of
certificates of entitlement. In Malaysia, the results of 59%-owned
Cycle & Carriage Bintang declined despite increased unit sales
as changes in the sales mix led to lower margins. In Indonesia,
44%-owned Tunas Ridean increased its contribution by 94% to US$18
million with higher income from motor car sales and financing.
Of the group's Other Interests, the first full-year's
contribution from 25%-held Siam City Cement Public Company Limited
('SCCC') in Thailand of US$22 million was modestly higher as the
effect of reduced domestic cement prices was partly offset by
contributions from new acquisitions. SCCC is investing some US$1
billion to expand its business with acquisitions in Vietnam,
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, which it will finance in part by a US$480
million rights issue. Jardine Cycle & Carriage's 23%-owned
Refrigeration Electrical Engineering Corporation in Vietnam,
contributed US$11 million, an increase of 25% with progress being
made in its property development activities.
Astra
Astra's underlying profit for 2016 under Indonesian accounting
standards was up 4% at Rp14.6 trillion, equivalent to US$1,096
million. Its net profit was up 5% at Rp15.2 trillion, some US$1,137
million. Strong working capital inflows were maintained with net
cash, excluding its financial services subsidiaries, of Rp6.2
trillion or US$461 million at 31st December 2016, compared to net
cash of Rp1.0 trillion or US$75 million at the end of 2015.
Net income from Astra's automotive businesses in Indonesia rose
23% to US$688 million, largely due to successful new model
launches. Astra's car sales were up 16% at 591,000 units,
outperforming the wholesale market increase of 5%, resulting in its
market share rising from 50% to 56%. Astra Honda Motor's domestic
motorcycle sales were 2% lower at 4.4 million units, while the
wholesale market declined 8%, increasing its market share from 69%
to 74%. Net income from Astra Otoparts rose 31% to US$31
million.
Net income in financial services was 78% lower at US$59 million,
mainly due to a loss in Permata Bank following a significant
increase in loan-loss provisions in its commercial loan book,
excluding this loss the net income would have risen 7% to US$282
million. To strengthen its capital base, Permata Bank undertook a
US$420 million rights issue in June 2016 and plans for a further
US$220 million rights issue in the first half of 2017, in respect
of which US$110 million has already been advanced by its two major
shareholders, Astra and Standard Chartered Bank. Astra's consumer
financing rose 21% in 2016 to US$5.5 billion, while its heavy
equipment financing rose 20% to US$352 million. Modest improvement
was seen in Astra's general insurance company, and by the end of
the year its life insurance joint venture, Astra Aviva Life, had
reached 228,000 individual life customers and 596,000 participants
for its corporate employee benefits programmes.
United Tractors' net income of US$375 million was up 30% over
2015, when an impairment charge was incurred, excluding which the
net income in 2016 would have been down 22%. Mining contracting
revenue was lower due to the relatively weak coal prices for much
of the year. Earnings were also impacted by foreign exchange
translation losses. Komatsu heavy equipment sales rose 3%, but
parts and service revenue declined. Pamapersada Nusantara's mining
contracting operations saw coal production little changed, while
overburden removal was 8% lower. Coal sales at United Tractors'
mining subsidiaries were 48% higher at 6.8 million tonnes. General
contractor, Acset Indonusa, reported net income up 63% at US$5
million, and in June 2016 raised US$45 million in a rights issue to
support its continued growth.
Astra Agro Lestari's net income increased from US$46 million to
US$150 million. Its revenue improved as higher crude palm oil
prices offset reduced production due to the impact of poor weather,
while the stronger rupiah at the year end benefited the translation
of its US dollar monetary liabilities. It completed a US$300
million rights issue in June 2016.
Net income from Astra's infrastructure and logistics activities
increased by 35% to US$20 million. Progress continues in the
expansion of the group's toll road interests, which including
greenfield developments now extend to 343 kilometres. PAM Lyonnaise
Jaya, which operates the western Jakarta water utility system, saw
a modest rise in sales volumes. Astra's contract car hire business
produced a better result, while its information technology
interests saw a modest decline in net income.
Astra's new property division produced net income of US$8
million, down from US$16 million in 2015 primarily due to lower
revaluation gains. Construction is ongoing at the 93%-sold luxury
residential development Anandamaya Residences, a 60%-owned joint
venture with Hongkong Land in Jakarta's Central Business District,
and at Menara Astra, the adjacent Grade A office tower development.
Both are on schedule to complete in 2018.

Notes
1. Accounting Policies and Basis of Preparation
The financial information contained in this announcement has
been based on the audited results for the year ended 31st December
2016 which have been prepared in conformity with International
Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS'), including International
Accounting Standards ('IAS') and Interpretations adopted by the
International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
The following amendments which are effective in the current
accounting year and relevant to the Group's operations are adopted
in 2016:
Amendments to IFRS 11 Accounting for Acquisitions of Interestsin Joint Operations
Amendments to IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative: Presentation
of Financial Statements
Amendments to IAS 16 and Clarification of Acceptable Methods
IAS 38 of Depreciation and Amortization
Amendments to IAS 16 and Agriculture: Bearer Plants
IAS 41
Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012 - 2014 Cycle
The adoption of the above amendments does not have a significant
effect on the Group's accounting policies and disclosures except
for the amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41, which has resulted in a
change in accounting policy for bearer plants. Previously,
plantations were measured at each balance sheet date at their fair
values. In accordance with the amendments, bearer plants in the
plantations are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation
and impairment. The accounting for produce growing on the bearer
plants will remain unchanged and is shown at fair value. The
amendments have been applied retrospectively and the comparative
financial statements have been restated.
The effects of adopting amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 were as

is after adjusting for the effects of the conversion of dilutive
potential ordinary shares of Jardine Matheson, subsidiaries,
associates or joint ventures, and on the weighted average number of

For the subsidiaries acquired during 2016, the fair value of the
identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition dates are
provisional and will be finalized within one year after the
acquisition dates.
The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities at
the acquisition dates of certain subsidiaries acquired during 2015
as included in the comparative figures were provisional. The fair
values were finalized in 2016. As the difference between the
provisional and the finalized fair values were not material, the
comparative figures have not been adjusted.
Net cash outflow for purchase of subsidiaries in 2016 included
US$12 million deposit paid for Astra's acquisition of an 80%
interest in PT Suprabari Mapanindo Mineral, a coal mining company,
to be completed in 2017.
Net cash outflow in 2015 included US$147 million for Dairy
Farm's acquisition of a 100% interest in San Miu Supermarket
Limited ('San Miu'), which operates a supermarket chain in Macau,
in March 2015, and US$57 million for Astra's acquisition of a 50.1%
interest in PT Acset Indonusa, a construction company in Indonesia,
in January 2015.
The goodwill arising from the acquisition of San Miu amounted to
US$182 million and was attributable to its leading market position
and retail network in Macau. The goodwill arising from the
acquisition of PT Acset Indonusa of US$33 million was attributable
to the expected synergies from combining its operations with
Astra's existing businesses. None of the goodwill is expected to be
deductible for tax purposes.
(b) Purchase of associates and joint ventures in 2016 included
US$190 million for Dairy Farm's further investment in Yonghui,
US$240 million for Astra's subscription to rights issue and capital
advance to PT Bank Permata, US$70 million for Hongkong Land's
investment in mainland China, US$74 million for Astra's investment
in Indonesia, and US$57 million for Hongkong Land's and Astra's 50%
joint investment in an Indonesia residential project.
Purchase in 2015 included US$100 million for Hongkong Land's

Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The Board has overall responsibility for risk management and
internal control. The process by which the Group identifies and
manages risk will be set out in more detail in the Corporate
Governance section of the Company's 2016 Annual Report (the
'Report'). The following are the principal risks and uncertainties
facing the Company as required to be disclosed pursuant to the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules issued by the Financial
Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom and are in addition to the
matters referred to in the Chairman's Statement and Operating
Review.
Economic Risk
Most of the Group's businesses are exposed to the risk of
negative developments in global and regional economies and
financial markets, either directly or through the impact on the
Group's joint venture partners, franchisors, bankers, suppliers or
customers. These developments can result in recession, inflation,
deflation, currency fluctuations, restrictions in the availability
of credit, business failures, or increases in financing costs, oil
prices and in the cost of raw materials. Such developments might
increase operating costs, reduce revenues, lower asset values or
result in the Group's businesses being unable to meet in full their
strategic objectives.
Commercial Risk and Financial Risk
Risks are an integral part of normal commercial practices, and
where practicable steps are taken to mitigate such risks. These
risks are further pronounced when operating in volatile
markets.
A number of the Group's businesses make significant investment
decisions in respect of developments or projects that take time to
come to fruition and achieve the desired returns and are,
therefore, subject to market risks.
The Group's businesses operate in areas that are highly
competitive and evolving rapidly, and failure to compete
effectively in terms of price, tender terms, product specification,
application of new technologies or levels of service can have an
adverse effect on earnings or market share. Significant pressure
from such competition may also lead to reduced margins. The quality
and safety of the products and services provided by the Group's
businesses are important and there is an associated risk if they
are below standard, while the potential impact on a number of our
businesses of the disruption to IT systems or infrastructure,
whether by cyber-crime or other reasons, may be significant.
The steps taken by the Group to manage its exposure to financial
risk will be set out in the Financial Review and in a note to the
Financial Statements in the Report.
Concessions, Franchises and Key Contracts
A number of the Group's businesses and projects are reliant on
concessions, franchises, management or other key contracts.
Cancellation, expiry or termination, or the renegotiation of any
such concession, franchise, management or other key contracts,
could have an adverse effect on the financial condition and results
of operations of certain subsidiaries, associates and joint
ventures of the Group.
Regulatory and Political Risk
The Group's businesses are subject to a number of regulatory
environments in the territories in which they operate. Changes in
the regulatory approach to such matters as foreign ownership of
assets and businesses, exchange controls, planning controls,
emission regulations, tax rules and employment legislation have the
potential to impact the operations and profitability of the Group's
businesses. Changes in the political environment in such
territories can also affect the Group's businesses.
Terrorism, Pandemic and Natural Disasters
A number of the Group's operations are vulnerable to the effects
of terrorism, either directly through the impact of an act of
terrorism or indirectly through the impact of generally reduced
economic activity in response to the threat of or an actual act of
terrorism.
All Group businesses would be impacted by a global or regional
pandemic which could be expected to seriously affect economic
activity and the ability of our businesses to operate smoothly. In
addition, many of the territories in which the Group operates can
experience from time to time natural disasters such as earthquakes
and typhoons.
Responsibility Statement
The Directors of the Company confirm to the best of their
knowledge that:
(a) the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards,
including International Accounting Standards and Interpretations
adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board; and
(b) the sections of the Company's 2016 Annual Report, including
the Chairman's Statement, Operating Review and Principal Risks and
Uncertainties, which constitute the management report include a
fair review of all information required to be disclosed by the
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules 4.1.8 to 4.1.11 issued
by the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom.
