Jardine Strategic Holdings Limited

Half-Yearly Results for the Six Months ended 30th June 2018

Overview

Jardine Strategic benefited from strong performances in the first half of 2018 from Astra and Jardine Cycle & Carriage in particular, although these were partially offset by Jardine Pacific. Dairy Farm saw a slight increase in profit, while Hongkong Land was slightly down against the prior year.

Results

Underlying profit for the period rose 9% to US$828 million, and underlying earnings per share were up 11% at US$1.45. The revenue of the Group for the period was 13% higher at US$16,939 billion, while revenue, including 100% of Jardine Matheson, associates and joint ventures, was up 19% at US$44,348 billion.

Within the Group's businesses, Jardine Pacific saw lower results from Restaurants and Transport Services and steady performances by Gammon, Jardine Schindler and JEC. Jardine Motors made a good start to the year in Hong Kong, but its margins in mainland China and the United Kingdom came under pressure. Its increased underlying profit included a contribution from Zhongsheng, which became an associate in the second half of 2017. Jardine Lloyd Thompson delivered a solid performance in the context of continuing inconsistency in global insurance markets.

Results from Hongkong Land were slightly down. While the contribution from its investment properties was higher, due to positive rental reversions in Hong Kong, profits from its development properties were lower due to the timing of sales completions in mainland China, partially offset by a higher contribution from Singapore.

Dairy Farm saw an increase in sales with profit slightly higher than the prior year. There were strong results from North Asia, driven by the Health and Beauty business in Hong Kong and Macau, but the Southeast Asian Food businesses continued to face significant challenges.

At Mandarin Oriental, underlying profits were higher due to generally improved performances across the Group's portfolio, notably in Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok and Tokyo. The impact of the fire at its London hotel is being assessed by insurers with the estimate of a write-off of tangible assets offset by insurance claims recoverable. Given the coverage under the group's insurance arrangements, the impact on profitability is expected to be modest.

In Southeast Asia, Jardine Cycle & Carriage saw stronger performances by its Direct Motor Interests and Other Strategic Interests. Astra also performed well, with strong performances from its heavy equipment and mining businesses and an improved contribution from its financial services division, which more than offset lower contributions from its agribusiness and infrastructure operations. Net income from the automotive business was flat.

Non-trading gains in the first half totalled US$156 million, primarily consisting of a net gain of US$337 million from revaluations of investment properties and a net loss of US$187 million due to unrealised fair value losses related to non-current investments. This compares with a net non-trading gain of US$1,580 million in the first half of 2017. Accordingly, the Group's profit attributable to shareholders for the period was US$984 million compared with US$2,342 million in 2017.

The Board has declared an increased interim dividend of USc10.00 per share.

Business Developments

Hongkong Land has continued to benefit from tight supply in the Hong Kong office leasing market and vacancy in the Singapore office portfolio also remains low. WF CENTRAL in Beijing is performing in line with expectations and its hotel, Mandarin Oriental Wangfujing, is expected to open towards the end of the year. Planning of the prime commercial joint venture project in the central business district of Bangkok, which was secured in late 2017, continues in line with schedule. Good progress was made in the period in securing new sites for development, including a prime commercial site in Nanjing's central business district and a residential site in Singapore, as well as projects in Bangkok, Jakarta and Manila. Hongkong Land's joint venture projects in the rest of Southeast Asia are progressing on schedule.

Dairy Farm continues to face challenges on several fronts, including increasing competitive pressures and a number of underperforming businesses within its portfolio. In order to address these, it has consolidated its trading operations into a more centralised structure with two main trading divisions, North Asia and Southeast Asia, in addition to Home Furnishings and Maxim's, which remain as standalone divisions. Newly constituted shared functions will provide specialist support to all divisions and a strengthened and broadened leadership team has been created to meet the requirements of the business. These structural and management changes will enable the group to address the issues it faces, but time will be needed to deliver sustainable improvement. A series of programmes is underway to address its strategic priorities of building capability, protecting the Hong Kong business, revitalising the Southeast Asia operations, growing presence in China, and driving digital innovation. A partnership has been announced with Robinsons Retail Holdings Inc. to build a leading food retail business in the Philippines.

Five new management contracts were signed by Mandarin Oriental in the first half of the year, while new hotels in Beijing, Doha and Dubai, as well as The Residences at Mandarin Oriental in Bangkok, are expected to open over the next 12 months. Management of the Las Vegas hotel will cease at the end of August 2018 following a change of ownership. Strategic options for The Excelsior, Hong Kong, including the possible redevelopment of the site into a commercial building, remain under consideration.

People

Julian Hui and Dr George Koo stepped down as Directors on 10th May 2018. We would like to thank them for their significant contribution to the Company over many years. We are pleased to welcome Lord Powell of Bayswater to the Board.

Outlook

After a good performance in the first half of 2018 driven primarily by Astra and Jardine Cycle & Carriage, we are optimistic for a stronger second half of the year, with these companies continuing to perform well and the contributions of other businesses expected to improve.

Sir Henry Keswick

Chairman

Operating Review

Jardine Matheson

Jardine Matheson produced an underlying profit for the first six months of 2018 of US$792 million, an increase of 6% over the same period in 2017. Non-trading items in the first half represented a net gain of US$136 million, giving a profit attributable to shareholders of US$928 million for the six months under review, compared with US$2,174 million in 2017. Shareholders' funds rose to US$25.8 billion during the first six months of the year.

   --   Jardine Pacific 

Jardine Pacific's underlying profit for the first half was down 6% at US$63 million, as lower results from Restaurants and Transport Services, and steady performances by Gammon, Jardine Schindler and JEC, were mitigated by the contribution from the interest in Greatview, acquired in June 2017. Jardine Restaurants reported a lower result due to difficult trading conditions in Taiwan and Vietnam. The results of the Transport Services business were impacted by the loss of a significant customer at Hactl but, generally, cargo throughput was in line with the market. Jardine Schindler saw flat profits, but further growth in its maintenance portfolio, while Gammon's profits were broadly in line with last year due to project timing, but its order book remains strong. JEC produced a stable contribution, with its Hong Kong operations performing well. Greatview's business saw revenue growth, with good performances in both China and international business.

   --   Jardine Motors 

Jardine Motors saw its underlying net profit for the first half increase by 6% to US$87 million, including the contribution from Zhongsheng. Hong Kong reported steady profit growth and there were increased sales of new cars. In mainland China, however, profits were lower as a result of reduced margins on new car sales. UK vehicle sales were higher but margins were compressed resulting in a lower profit.

   --   Jardine Lloyd Thompson 

JLT delivered a solid performance against a backdrop of continuing inconsistency and unpredictability in global economic and insurance market environments. In April, the group restructured into three global business segments: Specialty, Reinsurance and Employee Benefits. Total revenue was US$978 million, an increase of 3% in its reporting currency, representing 4% organic revenue growth. Underlying profit before tax increased by 10%, compared to the first half of 2017. In the period, the group incurred costs relating to its global transformation programme, which is already beginning to contribute to an improvement in operating performance. After adjusting for the costs of the programme and on conversion into US dollars, JLT's contribution to the Group's underlying profit was 2% lower than in the prior year.

Hongkong Land

Hongkong Land's underlying profit attributable to shareholders for the first six months was US$455 million, down 3%, largely due to the timing of sales completions of development properties in mainland China. There was a strong performance from investment properties due to positive rental reversions in Hong Kong, in both the office and retail portfolios. Profit attributable to shareholders was US$1,124 million after accounting for a net gain of US$661 million arising on the revaluation of investment properties. This compares with a profit of US$3,114 million in the first half of 2017, including a net revaluation gain of US$2,608 million.

Hongkong Land's investment properties benefited from the tight supply in the Hong Kong Central office leasing market. Vacancy in the group's Central office portfolio at 30th June 2018 was 1.9%, compared with 1.4% at the end of 2017. The retail portfolio remained effectively fully occupied. In Singapore, mildly negative rental reversions continued, although there are signs of a market recovery with reversions expected to become positive later in the year. Vacancy in the group's office portfolio was 0.1% at the end of June 2018, compared with 0.3% at the end of 2017.

The profit contribution from development properties was lower as a result of fewer sales completions in mainland China than in the first half of 2017, due to phasing. The number of sales completions will increase in the second half, particularly in relation to projects in Chongqing. At 30th June, the group had US$1,507 million in sold but unrecognised contracted sales, compared with US$1,032 million at the end of 2017. Results from Singapore were driven by the completion of the Sol Acres executive condominium project and the percentage of completion of sold units at the Lake Grande project, which is on schedule for completion in 2019. The group's joint venture projects in the rest of Southeast Asia are progressing on schedule.

Dairy Farm

Dairy Farm saw sales of US$5.9 billion for the period by the group's subsidiaries, 8% ahead of the prior year or 6% higher at constant rates of exchange. Total sales, including 100% of associates and joint ventures, increased by 17% to US$12.2 billion. Underlying profit of US$215 million was 2% higher than the same period last year, as strong results from North Asia and Maxim's were offset by lower profits in Southeast Asia and Yonghui. Home Furnishings was broadly in line with the same period last year.

In North Asia, overall sales within the Food businesses were ahead of prior year, but profits declined, mainly due to higher rental and labour costs in Hong Kong. The Health and Beauty business in Hong Kong and Macau delivered very strong sales and profits growth, driven by a significant increase in business from higher numbers of mainland Chinese tourists. Yonghui reported strong sales growth and underlying profits from the core food business remained strong, but total profits were behind the prior year due to the investment in new technology formats and the introduction of a new employee incentive scheme.

In Southeast Asia, challenging trading conditions continued for the Food businesses, with lower sales and profits in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. In the Philippines, sales were higher but profits lower. The improving performance of the majority of the group's Health and Beauty businesses in Southeast Asia was encouraging, with Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam reporting better underlying results.

The group's convenience store operations performed well, with Hong Kong and Macau trading in line with last year, lower sales but higher profits in Singapore and continued growth in mainland China.

In Home Furnishings, IKEA delivered sales and profits growth in Taiwan and Indonesia, while Hong Kong reported higher sales but lower profits due to increased operating costs. Maxim's delivered another good performance and is continuing to expand its presence across mainland China and Southeast Asia.

Mandarin Oriental

Mandarin Oriental delivered a good result for the period due to generally improved performances across most of the portfolio, notably in Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok and Tokyo. There were also signs of recovery in Paris after several years of weak demand. In The Americas, results from Washington D.C. and Boston were lower. The group's underlying profit for the first half was US$22 million, compared with US$15 million in the same period of 2017.

Following the fire at the London hotel, the process of repairs is underway and it is anticipated that the hotel will be able partially to reopen in the fourth quarter of this year. The impact of the fire is being assessed by insurers with the estimate of a write off of tangible assets offset by insurance claims recoverable. Given the coverage under the group's insurance arrangements, the impact on the Group's profitability is expected to be modest.

An early termination fee was received in respect of the cessation of the management of the Las Vegas hotel from the end of August 2018 following a change in the hotel's ownership.

Jardine Cycle & Carriage

Jardine Cycle & Carriage reported an underlying profit for the period of US$414 million, up 10%. Profit attributable to shareholders was down 56% to US$174 million, after accounting for net non-trading losses of US$240 million, principally unrealised fair value losses related to non-current investments. These result from the adoption of a new accounting standard that requires the unrealised gains or losses arising from the revaluation of equity investments at the end of each financial period to be included in the profit and loss account.

Astra's contribution to underlying profit rose 12% to US$354 million. Jardine Cycle & Carriage's Direct Motor Interests contributed an underlying profit of US$74 million, 18% above the previous year. There were improved margins on passenger cars and increased contributions from used cars in Singapore, as well as higher contributions from Tunas Ridean in Indonesia and Truong Hai Auto Corporation in Vietnam. Other Strategic Interests also made a stronger contribution of US$41 million, up from US$8 million in the first half of 2017, benefiting in particular from Vinamilk dividends received in the period. In addition, there was profit growth at Siam City Cement in Thailand and at Refrigeration Electrical Engineering Corporation in Vietnam.

Astra

Astra reported net profit equivalent to US$750 million, under Indonesian accounting standards, up 11% in its reporting currency. There were higher profits from the group's heavy equipment and mining businesses and an improved contribution from its financial services division, which more than offset lower contributions from its agribusiness and infrastructure operations.

Net income from Astra's automotive business was flat at US$304 million, with increased earnings in the motorcycle operations and automotive components business offset by lower results in the car operations. The wholesale market for cars in Indonesia was 4% higher in the period but the group's car sales fell by 10% as a result of increased competition, resulting in its market share falling from 56% to 48%. The wholesale market for motorcycles increased by 11%, while Astra Honda Motor's domestic sales also rose by 11%, with its market share maintained at 74%.

Net income from Astra's financial services division increased to US$155 million with an improved contribution from the group's consumer finance businesses. Permata Bank reported a net income of US$20 million for the period, compared to US$47 million in the first half of 2017. Its results in the first half of 2017 benefited from a one-off gain on the sale of non-performing loans. In May 2018, Permata Bank sold its 25% shareholding in Astra Sedaya Finance to Astra in order to strengthen the bank's capital position and maximise its capital allocation for lending. Astra Sedaya Finance is now 100%-owned by the group. Asuransi Astra Buana, the group's general insurance company, reported net income of US$36 million, 2% lower than 2017 due to a reduction in investment income, while Astra Aviva Life continued to grow its customer base.

Net income from the group's heavy equipment, mining, construction and energy businesses increased by 60% to US$237 million, mainly due to improved performances in its construction machinery and mining contracting operations as a result of increased coal prices. Within United Tractors' construction machinery business, Komatsu heavy equipment sales were up 37% at 2,400 units, while parts and service revenues were also higher. The mining contracting operations of wholly-owned Pamapersada Nusantara recorded an 8% higher coal production at 56 million tonnes and a 23% higher overburden removal volume at 445 million bank cubic metres. United Tractors' mining subsidiaries reported 22% higher coal sales at 4.4 million tonnes.

Net income from the group's agribusiness division was US$45 million, a decrease of 23% from the prior year primarily due to a fall in crude palm oil prices, which were 8% lower compared to the first half of 2017.

The group's infrastructure and logistics division reported a net income of US$0.3 million, compared with a net profit of US$8 million in the first half of 2017, as initial losses on two new toll roads outweighed improved earnings from more established assets. The group continues to develop its portfolio of toll road interests, which now total 353km, of which 269km is operational.

Net income from Astra's information technology business was 24% higher at US$5 million, with improved revenue across document and information technology solutions and office services businesses.

The group's property division reported a net profit of US$3 million in the first half of 2018, compared to US$5 million in the prior year, reflecting lower development earnings recognised from its Anandamaya Residences project.

 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.

There are no changes to the accounting policies as described in the 2017 annual financial statements except for the adoption of IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' and IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' from 1st January 2018 as set out below.

The other amendments, which are effective in 2018 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 standard, interpretation or amendment that have been issued but not yet effective.

IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'

Under IFRS 9, the gains and losses arising from changes in fair value of the Group's investments in equity securities, previously classified as available-for-sale, will be recognised in profit and loss, instead of through other comprehensive income. Such fair value gains or losses on revaluation of these investments are classified as non-trading items, and do not have any impact on the Group's underlying profit attributable to shareholders and shareholders' funds. The new forward-looking expected credit loss model, which replaces the incurred loss impairment model, mainly affects the loan impairment provisions of the Group's financial services companies in Indonesia. The new hedge accounting rules, which align the accounting for hedging instruments closely with the Group's risk management practices, has no significant impact to the Group.

IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers'

IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for the recognition of revenue. It replaces IAS 11 'Construction Contracts' and IAS 18 'Revenue' which covers contracts for goods and services. The core principle in the framework is that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. The new standard mainly changes the Group's revenue recognition on certain property sales, from completion method to percentage of completion method. This will lead to earlier recognition of revenue when compared to the current completion method.

Changes to accounting policies on adoption of IFRS 9 and 15 have been applied retrospectively and the comparative financial statements have been restated.

Increase in revenue and other reserves at 1st January 2018 included a fair value gain of US$20 million on revaluation of unlisted equity investments previously stated at cost but measured at fair value at the date of initial application of IFRS 9.

   (d)     Changes in principal accounting policies on adoption of IFRS 9 and 15 

Investments

The Group classifies its investments into the following measurement categories:

(i) those to be measured subsequently at fair value, either through other comprehensive income or through profit and loss; and

   (ii)        those to be measured at amortised cost. 

The classification is based on the management's business model and their contractual cash flows characteristics.

Equity investments are measured at fair value with fair value gains and losses recognised in profit and loss, unless management has elected to recognise the fair value gains and losses through other comprehensive income. For equity investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, gains or losses realised upon disposal are not reclassified to profit and loss.

Debt investments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for sale, where the cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. On disposal, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit and loss.

Debt investments that are held for collection of contractual cash flows till maturity, where the cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortised cost. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised in profit and loss.

The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with both types of debt investments. They are considered 'credit impaired' when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows have occurred. Any impairment is recognised in profit and loss.

All purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the trade date, which is the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the investments.

Debtors

Consumer financing debtors and financing lease receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The gross amount due from customers for contract work is stated at cost plus an appropriate proportion of profit, established by reference to the percentage of completion, and after deducting progress payments and provisions for foreseeable losses. Repossessed assets of finance companies are measured at the lower of the carrying amount of the debtors in default and fair value less costs to sell. All other debtors, excluding derivative financial instruments, are measured at amortised cost except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its consumer financing debtors. The impairment measurement is subject to whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade debtors, the Group applied the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the debtors. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in arriving at operating profit. When a debtor is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amount previously written off are credited to profit and loss.

Debtors with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date are classified under non-current assets.

Non-trading items

Non-trading items are separately identified to provide greater understanding of the Group's underlying business performance. Items classified as non-trading items include fair value gains or losses on revaluation of investment properties and on equity investments which are fair value through profit and loss; gains and losses arising from the sale of businesses, investments and properties; impairment of non-depreciable intangible assets and other investments; provisions for the closure of businesses; acquisition-related costs in business combinations; and other credits and charges of a non-recurring nature that require inclusion in order to provide additional insight into underlying business performance.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received and receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.

(i) Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when or as the control of the asset is transferred to the customer, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers.

(ii) Revenue from properties for sale and engineering and construction services are recognised when or as the control of the asset is transferred to the customer. Depending on the terms of the contract and the laws that apply to the contract, control of the asset may transfer over time or at a point in time. Control of the asset is transferred over time if the Group's performance:

   --     provides all of the benefits received and consumed simultaneously by the customer; or 
   --     creates and enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Group performs; or 

-- do not create an asset with an alternative use to the Group and the Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

If control of the asset transfers over time, revenue is recognised over the period of the contract by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation. Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the asset.

The progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation is measured based on the Group's efforts or inputs to the satisfaction of the performance obligation, by reference to the contract costs incurred up to the end of reporting period as a percentage of total estimated costs for each contract.

For properties for sale under development and sales contract for which the control of the property is transferred at a point in time, revenue is recognised when the customer obtains the physical possession or the legal title of the completed property and the Group has present right to payment and the collection of the consideration is probable.

In determining the transaction price, the Group adjusts the promised amount of consideration for the effect of a financing component if it is significant.

For engineering and construction services, the Group's performance creates or enhances an asset or work in progress that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced, thus the Group satisfies a performance obligation and recognises revenue over time, by reference to completion of the specific transaction assessed on the basis of the actual costs incurred up to the end of the reporting period as a percentage of total estimated costs for each contract.

   (iii)   Receipts under operating leases are accounted for on an accrual basis over the lease terms. 

(iv) Revenue from consumer financing and financing leases is recognised over the term of the respective contracts based on a constant rate of return on the net investment.

(v) Interest income from a financial asset is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.

(vi) Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

   8.    Earnings per Share 

Basic earnings per share are calculated on profit attributable to shareholders of US$984 million (2017: US$2,342 million) and on the weighted average number of 571 million (2017: 581 million) shares in issue during the period.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated on profit attributable to shareholders of US$983 million (2017: US$2,342 million), which 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 571 million (2017: 581 million) shares in issue during the period.

The weighted average number of shares is arrived at as follows:

 
                                                   Ordinary shares

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 investments 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, forward foreign exchange contracts and credit default swaps 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 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 determined with reference to the underlying cash flow from the investments, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate.

There were no changes in valuation techniques during the six months ended 30th June 2018 and the year ended 31st December 2017.

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value at 30th June 2018 and 31st December 2017, by the levels in the fair value measurement hierarchy:

The contingent consideration payable mainly arose from Astra's acquisition of a 60% interest in PT Duta Nurcahya in 2012 and represents the fair value of service fee payable for mining services to be provided by the vendor.

(ii) Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value

The fair values of current debtors, bank balances and other liquid funds, current creditors and current borrowings are assumed to approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

The fair values of long-term borrowings are based on market prices or are estimated using the expected future payments discounted at market interest rates.

For the subsidiaries acquired during 2018, the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities at the acquisition dates are provisional and will be finalised within one year after the acquisition dates.

Net cash outflow for purchase of subsidiaries for the six months ended 30th June 2018 included US$71 million and US$13 million for Astra's payment for deferred consideration for investments in toll road concessions and acquisition of an 80% interest in PT Suprabari Mapanindo Mineral ('Suprabari'), a coal mining company, respectively, in 2017.

Net cash outflow for purchase for the six months ended 30th June 2017 included an additional consideration of US$9 million for Astra's acquisition of the above-mentioned 80% interest in Suprabari.

Revenue and profit after tax since acquisition in respect of subsidiaries acquired during the six months ended 30th June 2018 are insignificant. Had the acquisitions occurred on 1st January 2018, the impact to the consolidated revenue and consolidated profit after tax was also insignificant.
