Information Service approved by the Financial Conduct Authority in
the United Kingdom.
HONGKONG LAND HOLDINGS LIMITED
HALF-YEAR RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30TH JUNE 2022
Highlights
-- Underlying profit up 8%
-- Higher profits from Development Properties
-- Investment Properties profits marginally lower
-- Group's financial position remains strong
-- Additional US$500 million share buyback announced
"Resilient financial performance at Hongkong Land in the first
half of 2022 was pleasing to see, although contracted sales of
China Development Properties were affected by weak market
sentiment. The Group's full-year underlying profits are expected to
be significantly lower than the prior year. This is primarily due
to the planned timing of sales completions and the impact of
pandemic-related restrictions on construction activities on the
Chinese mainland, which will result in some completions being
deferred from the second half of 2022 into 2023."

# The Group uses 'underlying profit attributable to shareholders'
in its internal financial reporting to distinguish between
ongoing business performance and non-trading items, as more
fully described in
note 7 to the condensed financial statements. Management
considers this to be a key measure which provides additional
information to enhance understanding of the Group's underlying
business performance.
* At 31st December 2021.
The interim dividend of USc6.00 per share will be payable on
12th October 2022 to shareholders on the register of members at the
close of business on 19th August 2022.
HONGKONG LAND HOLDINGS LIMITED
HALF-YEAR RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30TH JUNE 2022
OVERVIEW
Anti-pandemic measures taken across China led to subdued
consumer demand in the Group's retail and residential properties
businesses in the period, although the impact on underlying profit
in the first half of the year was modest. Profits from the Group's
Investment Properties business were marginally lower than the same
period last year, while a greater number of residential sales
completions in China resulted in a higher contribution from the
Development Properties business.
PERFORMANCE
Underlying profit attributable to shareholders was US$425
million, US$31 million higher than the prior year.
Profit attributable to shareholders was US$292 million in the
first half of 2022, compared to a loss of US$865 million in the
first half of 2021. This is after including losses mainly arising
from Investment Property revaluations of US$133 million in 2022 and
US$1,259 million in 2021.
The net asset value per share at 30th June 2022 was US$14.99,
compared with US$15.05 at the end of 2021.
The Directors are recommending an interim dividend of USc6.00
per share.
GROUP REVIEW
Investment Properties
In Hong Kong, anti-pandemic measures introduced in the early
part of the year impacted the number of new office leasing
enquiries and resulted in the Group providing rental support to a
select number of retail tenants. Despite these challenges, the
Group's Central office portfolio continued to benefit from a flight
to quality, as a number of new tenants committed to long-term
leases.
Physical vacancy was 5.4% at the end of June 2022, compared to
5.2% at the end of 2021 and, on a committed basis, it was 5.1%,
compared to 4.9% at the end of 2021. Rental reversions were
negative, reflecting lower market rents. Average office rents were
HK$112 per sq. ft. in the first half of 2022, compared to HK$118
per sq. ft. and HK$115 per sq. ft. in the first and second halves
of 2021, respectively.
Vacancy at the Group's LANDMARK retail portfolio was unchanged
from the end of 2021, although base rental reversions remained
negative. Tourism has not yet returned to Hong Kong, due to a
combination of travel and quarantine restrictions, adversely
impacting retail sales levels. Average retail rents were HK$168 per
sq. ft. in the first half of 2022, compared with HK$180 per sq. ft.
and HK$190 per sq. ft. in the first and second halves of 2021,
respectively. These average rents included the impact of temporary
rental support.
Footfall and tenant sales at the Group's retail operations in
Beijing and Macau were also negatively impacted by pandemic-related
restrictions, although a number of luxury brands opened new stores
as planned despite the market challenges.
In Shanghai, city-wide lockdowns saw development activities at
the multi-phase West Bund site suspended for over two months,
although construction has since resumed.
In Singapore, the Group's office portfolio continued to benefit
from healthy leasing momentum, with average office rents increasing
to S$10.5 per sq. ft. in the first half of 2022, compared to S$10.2
per sq. ft. and S$10.3 per sq. ft. in the first and second halves
of 2021, respectively. On a committed basis, vacancy in the Group's
office portfolio remained low at 3.0%, compared with 2.9% at the
end of 2021.
Development Properties
On the Chinese mainland, there were more sales completions in
the first half of 2022, resulting in higher profits than the same
period last year.
Pandemic-related shutdowns impacted construction progress at the
Group's mixed-use Galaxy Midtown project in Shanghai, possibly
delaying anticipated sales completions from the end of 2022 into
early 2023.
Market sentiment was weak in a majority of the cities where the
Group has a presence, impacting contracted sales despite the
continued relaxation of cooling measures. The Group's attributable
interest in contracted sales was US$419 million in the first half
of 2022, compared to US$1,360 million and US$1,288 million in the
first and second halves of 2021, respectively. At 30th June 2022,
the Group had US$2,425 million in sold but unrecognised contracted
sales, compared with US$2,853 million at the end of 2021.
Results from the Group's residential development activities in
Singapore declined compared to the first half of 2021, primarily
due to lower completion progress on projects. Pre-sales at the
407-unit Piccadilly Grand project commenced in May 2022 and it is
75% sold. The Group's attributable interest in contracted sales was
US$270 million in the first half of 2022, compared to US$172
million and US$156 million in the first and second halves of 2021,
respectively.
Sales demand for the Group's projects in the rest of Southeast
Asia was generally subdued.
Business Development
On the Chinese mainland, the Group secured a 34% interest in a
primarily residential site in Xuhui District in Shanghai, adjacent
to our 1.1 million sq. m. mixed-used project in West Bund. The site
has an attributable developable area of 18,700 sq. m. and will
feature six high-rise apartment blocks with over 470 premium
residential units.
In Singapore, the Group acquired a 49% interest in a residential
site in the Tanjong Katong area with a developable area of 599,000
sq. ft., which is expected to yield 638 units.
Financing
Net debt at 30th June 2022 was US$6.1 billion, up from US$5.1
billion at the end of 2021, primarily due to lower residential
pre-sale proceeds, investments in recently acquired development
sites and the buyback of Group shares.
Net gearing was 18%, compared with 15% at the end of last year.
As at 30th June 2022, the Group had committed liquidity of US$2.6
billion, compared to US$4.0 billion at the end of 2021, with an
average debt tenor of 6.4 years, compared to 6.5 years at the end
of 2021. 55% of the Group's interest rate on debt is at fixed
rates, with an average hedge tenor of 7.3 years.
In September 2021, the Group announced a US$500 million share
buyback programme, of which US$491 million had been invested up to
22nd July 2022, reducing issued share capital by 4%. An additional
US$500 million has been allocated to buy back shares until the end
of 2023.
OUTLOOK
Resilient financial performance at Hongkong Land in the first
half of 2022 was pleasing to see, although contracted sales of
China Development Properties were affected by weak market
sentiment. The Group's full-year underlying profits are expected to
be significantly lower than the prior year. This is primarily due
to the planned timing of sales completions and the impact of
pandemic-related restrictions on construction activities on the
Chinese mainland, which will result in some completions being
deferred from the second half of 2022 into 2023.

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 forward foreign
exchange contracts are calculated by reference to market interest
rates and foreign exchange rates.
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the six
months ended 30th June 20 22 and the year ended 31st December
2021.
(b) Financial instruments that are not measured at fair
value
The fair values of current debtors, bank balances, current
creditors, current borrowings and current lease liabilities 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. The fair values of non-current
lease liabilities are estimated using the expected future payments
discounted at market interest rates.
