Chairman's Statement

Overview

There were signs of improvement in the Group's performance and profitability in the first half compared with the same period last year, but COVID-19 continued to have an impact in most sectors and markets, and conditions are expected to remain challenging for the second half of the year.  The absence of tourists from the Chinese mainland will continue to impact the performance of the Group's businesses in North Asia, including Hongkong Land's Central retail portfolio in Hong Kong, Dairy Farm's health and beauty business and Mandarin Oriental's hotels.  The performance of the Group's businesses in Indonesia and other parts of Southeast Asia is also expected to be significantly affected by the continuing severe impact of the pandemic and related restrictions.

The Group's underlying net profit for the first half was US$615 million, 65% higher than the same period last year.  Following the completion in mid-April 2021 of the privatisation of Jardine Strategic Holdings Limited ('JSH') (the 'Transaction'), and the elimination for accounting purposes of the cross-shareholding held by JSH in Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited (the 'Company'), the growth in the Group's underlying net profit in the period reflected both improved business performance - by comparison to the prior year when many of the Group's businesses were most severely impacted by the pandemic and measures to contain it - and a higher share of earnings in businesses formerly held by JSH.  Within the overall profit growth of 65% for the period, approximately 59% reflected recovering business performance and 6% the impact of completing the Transaction, with effect from mid-April 2021.  

Underlying earnings per share increased by 84% to US$1.86.  Similarly, this increase reflected both business recovery (comprising 63% of the 84% growth) and the effect of the Transaction on earnings and the Company's issued share capital (21%).  The revenue of the Group for the period was 10% higher at US$17.5 billion, while gross revenue, including 100% of associates and joint ventures, was up 17% at US$52.5 billion.

The Group recorded a non-trading net loss in the first half of US$732 million, compared with a non-trading net loss of US$1.1 billion in the first half of 2020.  This was largely a result of the usual semi-annual revaluation of investment properties in Hongkong Land which was carried out during the period, which produced a net revaluation loss of US$635 million.  The Group recorded a loss attributable to shareholders for the period of US$117 million, 85% lower than the loss in the first half of 2020. 

Group results in some markets benefitted from government support relating to COVID-19, which totalled US$36 million attributable to the Group, compared to a total of US$78 million in the same period last year.  This support is expected to reduce significantly in the second half.

With the exception of Dairy Farm, all of the Group's significant businesses saw improved profits, and there were reduced losses from Mandarin Oriental and Dairy Farm's associate, Maxim's.  Group profits, however, still remain around 17% behind the levels seen prior to the onset of the pandemic. 

Dividend

The Board is recommending an interim dividend of US¢44.00 per share, in line with last year.  As explained in the announcement of the Transaction in March 2021, the Group will assess the extent of a one-off uplift in the dividend at the time of the Group's 2021 full year results announcement, when the Group's final results for the year are known.  

Significant Developments

The Group continues to actively manage its portfolio of businesses and deploy capital into value-creating opportunities.  This was demonstrated in the period by the completion in April 2021 of the successful privatisation of JSH, creating a conventional ownership structure and further increasing the Group's operational efficiency and financial flexibility. 

Shortly after the end of the period, the Group announced the strengthening of its strategic partnership with Zhongsheng through the transfer of its Mercedes-Benz auto dealership business operating on the Chinese mainland under the Zung Fu brand.  Total consideration of US$1.3 billion will be settled in cash and new Zhongsheng shares, which will increase the Group's shareholding in Zhongsheng on a fully-diluted basis to 20% and solidify its position as the second-largest shareholder after the founders.

Hongkong Land secured three predominantly residential development projects on the Chinese mainland in the period - one in Nanjing and two in Wuhan - as well as two further residential development projects in Singapore.

Dairy Farm carried out the relaunch of its Giant brand in over 100 stores in Malaysia during the first half of the year.  The group's yuu Rewards programme in Hong Kong continues to grow and has now attracted over 3.5 million members, with approximately 80 billion points issued.  A strategic review of PT Hero's business led to the announcement in May 2021 of a pivot in its trading operations by increasing investment in its strong brands of IKEA, Guardian and Hero Supermarkets and away from the Giant banner, reflecting changing market dynamics and consumer behaviours.   The group's Own Brand initiatives continue to gather momentum, with over 1,200 SKUs now launched.  Following the successful launch of the Meadows own brand range, Dairy Farm's Chinese own brand range Yu Pin King was also relaunched in the first half.  Own Brand penetration has grown approximately 40% since launch. 

Jardine Cycle & Carriage increased its interest in Cycle & Carriage Bintang from 59.1% to 88.0% through market purchases and acceptances under a voluntary general offer and increased its interest in REE from 29.8% to 30.8%.

Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid, reopened in April after an extensive restoration and this 50%-owned property is expected to become a flagship property for the brand.  The group signed two management contracts in the first half of the year for a new hotel and residences in Hangzhou and a resort in Da Nang, Vietnam. 

Despite the short-term challenges of the pandemic, the Board sees it as essential to continue to invest for the long-term in new business opportunities in order to drive momentum and change across the Group, and this has led to several important developments in the period.  In March, the Group announced the formation of a strategic cooperation with Hillhouse Capital, a leading Asia-focused private equity firm, in order to drive innovation and digitisation in the Group's portfolio companies, with a focus on investment and business development opportunities predominantly in China, as well as South-East Asia. There will also be close collaboration between the Jardines and Hillhouse value creation teams and respective portfolio companies, in particular in the areas of consumer technology and digital enablement. 

Other significant strategic developments in the first half of the year included the announcement in Indonesia in May 2021 of the merger of Gojek - in which Astra has a stake - and Tokopedia to create GoTo group and form the largest technology ecosystem in the country.  Astra also invested in April 2021 in Halodoc, Indonesia's largest healthtech platform.  The Group also invested in the period in Pickupp, a Hong Kong-based logistics startup.

The Group also remains focussed on making efficiency improvements across its existing businesses to drive future growth, and good progress has been made in a number of businesses, including JEC, Hactl, Jardine Restaurants and Gammon, to implement efficiency measures in areas such as procurement, shared resources and operational efficiency.

Sustainability

The Group and each of its businesses have continued to make encouraging progress in the period in driving their sustainability agendas.  Working groups have been established to support each of the pillars of our Group sustainability strategy - shaping social inclusion, leading climate action and driving responsible consumption - and they are developing detailed plans for dealing with key issues, including decarbonisation, climate risk and reducing waste. 

Extensive work is also being done to set appropriate metrics and gather data from each of our businesses to enable the Group to measure and report on progress in implementing the sustainability agenda.  The Group will report against these metrics for the first time in its 2021 sustainability report.

Our Group businesses are also implementing a Group-wide colleague volunteering programme, which will facilitate participation by colleagues across the Group in a range of social inclusion and other activities.  An important first step in this initiative is the launch of a volunteering programme during the summer, with opportunities for colleagues across the Group's Hong Kong businesses to take part in activities supporting causes focussed on mental health, education and livelihood.

People

Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our people remains a top priority as they face extensive challenges amid the ongoing pandemic.  We are offering support to our colleagues at this difficult time, including investing in their continuing development.  The Group has also participated in the ongoing drive to encourage take-up of COVID-19 vaccinations in Hong Kong by offering HK$10 million in incentives.

We would like to recognise the remarkable resilience shown by colleagues across the Group and thank all of them for their continuing dedication, hard work and professionalism throughout the period.

Outlook

While there have been some promising signs of an improvement in performance in the first half of the year, COVID-19 continues to cause uncertainty and trading conditions in the second half are expected to continue to be challenging in certain sectors and markets, in particular in Indonesia and other parts of Southeast Asia. The Group is confident, however, that its businesses have the right strategic focus and are taking the actions needed to drive operational performance and to take advantage of emerging opportunities in order to deliver strong, sustainable future growth.

Operating Review

Hongkong Land

Hongkong Land's underlying profit attributable to shareholders for the first six months of 2021 was US$394 million, up 12% from the equivalent period in 2020There was a loss attributable to shareholders of US$865 million after accounting for a net non-cash loss of US$1.3 billion arising on the semi-annual revaluation of investment properties due to lower open market rents.  This compares with a loss attributable to shareholders of US$1.8 billion in the first half of 2020, which included a net revaluation loss of US$2.2 billion.  The group's financial position remains robust, with a strong balance sheet and liquidity.

The profits of the Development Properties business were higher than the same period last year due to the timing of sales completions on the Chinese mainland.

Market sentiment in the Group's core markets remains stable.  At 30th June 2021, the Group had US$3.4 billion in sold but unrecognised contracted sales, compared with US$2.6 billion at the end of 2020.  Both sales completions and contracted sales are in line with expectations and are expected to strengthen in the second half of the year. 

Although competition to secure sites for development on the Chinese mainland remains fierce, the group has secured three predominantly residential projects during the period, including a site in Nanjing and two sites in Wuhan.

The profit contribution from the Singapore business in the first half of 2021 was higher than in the first half of 2020, which was impacted by pandemic-related disruptions.  During the period, the group secured two new development projects. 

In the rest of Southeast Asia, market sentiment remains weak in light of the ongoing impact of COVID-19 and related restrictions.

Contributions from the Investment Properties business remained resilient, despite negative rental reversions in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong office portfolio continued to perform relatively well amidst the ongoing market downturn.  There was a modest increase in new office leasing activity due to improved sentiment and a narrowing rental differential between Central and other parts of the city.  Vacancy on a committed basis was slightly lower than at the end of 2020, while office rental reversions were negative.

Trading at the Group's Central retail portfolio benefitted from a modest recovery in luxury retail market sentiment.  Temporary rent relief continues to be provided by the group on a case-by-case basis.  Singapore vacancy remained unchanged on a committed basis, and average office rents there increased.

Trading at WF CENTRAL in Beijing benefitted from strong luxury retail market sentiment on the Chinese mainland.  Construction has started at the West Bund project, and the development is on track. 

Astra

Astra reported net profit equivalent to US$615 million under Indonesian reporting standards in the first half, a 61% increase on the same period last year, excluding the gain on the disposal of the interest in Permata Bank.  This was principally due to improvements in the performance of its automotive businesses, against the backdrop of an Indonesian economy which remains resilient as a result of high commodity prices. 

Net income from Astra's automotive business increased significantly to US$231 million, mainly due to the negative impact on performance in the second quarter of 2020 of the pandemic and related containment measures, and an increase in sales volumes in the first half of 2021 when the business benefitted from temporary luxury car sales tax incentivesThe wholesale car market increased by 51% in the first half and Astra's car sales were 50% higher, while its market share was maintained at 53%.  The wholesale market for motorcycles increased by 30%, and Astra's Honda motorcycle sales grew by 29%, with a stable market share.  Astra Otoparts reported a net profit of US$19 million compared to a net loss of US$20 million in the same period last year, mainly due to higher revenues from the original equipment manufacturer and replacement market segments.

Net income from the Financial Services division increased by 2% to US$149 million, due to higher contributions from the consumer finance and general insurance businessesConsumer finance businesses saw a 13% increase in the amounts financed, while the net income contribution from the car-focused finance companies increased by 3% due to lower loan loss provisioning.  The contribution from the motorcycle-focused financing business also increased by 3% due to lower loan loss provisioning.  Heavy equipment-focused finance operations saw a 46% increase in the amounts financed, but the net income contribution from this business fell 20%.  General insurance company, Asuransi Astra Buana, reported a 15% increase in net income to US$42 million due to higher investment income.

 

The Heavy Equipment, Mining, Construction and Energy division saw net income increase by 13% to US$187 million, mainly due to higher Komatsu heavy equipment sales and improved coal pricesUnited Tractors reported a 11% increase in net income to US$313 million.  Komatsu heavy equipment sales increased by 60%, but parts and service revenues were lower.  Mining contracting operations reported 3% lower overburden removal volume, while coal production was marginally higher.  Agincourt Resources saw 5% lower gold sales.  General contractor Acset Indonusa reported a net loss of US$11 million, mainly due to the slowdown of several ongoing projects and reduced project opportunities during the pandemic.

Net income from Agribusiness increased by 66% to US$36 million, mainly due to improved prices.  The group's Infrastructure and Logistics division reported a net profit of US$6 million, compared to a net loss of US$6 million for the same period last year, mainly due to higher toll road revenues.  Astra now has 358km of operational toll roads along the Trans-Java network and in the Jakarta Outer Ring Road.

Jardine Motors

Jardine Motors saw its underlying net profit for the first half increase to US$154 million from US$61 million in the first half of 2020.

There were higher contributions from all businesses, with Zung Fu on the Chinese mainland seeing a 68% increase in profit to US$49m due to strong demand and solid margins as the market recovered.  The business in Hong Kong and Macau contributed a profit of US$9 million, compared to a slight loss last year, due to higher demand and better margins as the market recovered. 

The United Kingdom business delivered a substantial improvement in performance from the same period last year, with a profit of US$16 million, compared with a loss of US$28 million last year.  The business benefitted from an easing in lockdown measures.

There was a 34% higher contribution of US$80 million from the investment in Zhongsheng, relating to its performance for the six months from July to December 2020. 

Jardine Pacific

Jardine Pacific reported an underlying net profit of US$76 million in the first half, compared with US$53 million in the equivalent period in 2020.  The group remains resilient and cash-generative and has seen a good recovery in performance in most businesses in the period.

JEC improved its contribution to US$18 million from US$12 million last year, with its Hong Kong engineering units continuing to perform well and most of the regional units delivering higher contributions from improving markets.  Jardine Schindler also delivered an improved performance of US$17 million, compared with US$14 million in the same period last year.  There was strong existing installation performance, while the new installation market remains very competitive.

The Restaurants business saw better results reported in most banners, partly due to strong delivery sales and partly due to the benefit realised from ongoing process re-engineering projects.  Its profit contribution rose to US$18 million from US$15 million last year. 

In Transport Services, HACTL's performance was strong, with a profit contribution of US$15 million compared with US$11 million last year, driven by the continuing improvement in the global air cargo industry, which has led to record levels of demand and productivity improvements.  There was also a reduced loss from JAS, which benefitted from ongoing operational efficiency initiatives, despite flight volumes remaining low in the period.

Gammon delivered better performance, with a contribution of US$8 million compared with US$3 million in the first half of 2020, due to the softer impact of COVID-19 in Hong Kong.  Its order books are at record levels.  In June 2021, it was announced that Gammon had been awarded three significant new construction contracts, for an office tower and seven residential towers in Hong Kong.

There was a slightly lower contribution from Greatview, which continued to see volume growth in both the Chinese mainland and international markets but was impacted by both rising raw material costs and higher selling expenses.

Jardine Cycle & Carriage

Jardine Cycle & Carriage reported an underlying profit for the period of US$346 million, a significant improvement on the US$138 million profit it made for the first half of 2020, which saw the emergence of the pandemic and the implementation of major lockdown restrictions in the second quarter.  Most of the group's businesses have also seen some improvements in performance compared to previous quarters.

Astra's contribution to underlying profit increased by 71% to US$293 million, with the improvement in its performance primarily driven by its automotive business.

There was a materially higher contribution from Direct Motor Interests of US$24 million, compared to a small loss last year, with the business benefitting mainly from higher profits in its Singapore operations, where car sales grew.   

In Indonesia, Tunas Ridean saw improved profits from its automotive and financial services businesses, while the financial performance of Cycle & Carriage Bintang in Malaysia benefitted from improved sales due to a sales tax reduction, as well as cost savings initiatives.

Other Strategic Interests contributed a profit of US$66 million compared to US$28 million last year, largely due to the continued recovery of THACO's automotive operations, which saw better sales and higher margins due to an improved sales mix, and its real estate business, which benefitted from a gradual recovery of the market.

The contribution from Siam City Cement was 19% higher than the same period last year, mainly due to higher cement volumes in regional operations, although overall prices remained under pressure.  Margins were also impacted by an increase in coal prices, despite continued cost-saving initiatives.

REE's contribution was 72% higher than the same period last year, with improved performances from its power and water investments as a result of favourable hydrography and an increase in REE's solar projects.

JC&C's investment in Vinamilk produced a dividend income of US$11 million, stable from the same period last year.

 

Dairy Farm

Dairy Farm saw sales of US$4.5 billion for the period by its subsidiaries, 13% lower than the prior year.  Underlying profit was US$32 million, 69% lower than the same period last year.  The group's Convenience Stores business and Maxim's performed better than in the first half of 2020, but this was not enough to offset lower profits from Grocery Retail, Health and Beauty and IKEA. 

The Convenience Stores business reported strong growth in profitability compared with the same period last year, when movement restrictions and physical distancing requirements, together with temporary store closures on the Chinese mainland, impacted performance. 

The performance of Maxim's, the group's 50%-owned associate, improved in the first half relative to the same period last year and it reported a smaller loss, with encouraging Hong Kong and Chinese mainland like-for-like sales performance, partially offset by challenging trading conditions in Thailand and Singapore resulting from the surge of COVID-19 cases there in the second quarter.

The profitability of the Grocery Retail business was impacted by lower sales as panic buying behaviour at the start of the pandemic in the first half of last year ceased and consumers adjusted to a different way of life, together with ongoing challenging conditions in the Indonesian business.  There were, however, significant underlying improvements to business fundamentals as a result of the implementation of the group's multi-year transformation plan. 

Health and Beauty performance in the period was impacted by the prolonged closure of the border between Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland and the consequent lack of business from tourists in Hong Kong.  It was also affected by heavy restrictions on movement in Southeast Asia which resulted in a significant reduction in footfall in malls.  The group has continued to reinvest in prices to enhance the customer value proposition, leading to an improvement in sales volumes and operating cash flow.

IKEA profits were impacted by pandemic-related trading disruption as IKEA was required to close stores periodically or restrict customer numbers to comply with government policy, particularly in both Indonesia and Taiwan.  However, the encouraging performance of e-commerce, combined with a stronger store opening programme, led to higher sales in the Home Furnishings business than in the equivalent period last year.

Dairy Farm incurred a loss in respect of its investment in Yonghui, which saw lower margins resulting from rising competition online and delivered weaker performance than the same period last year when there were very high sales due to panic buying by customers

Mandarin Oriental

Mandarin Oriental reported a lower underlying loss of US$67 million for the first half of the year, compared with a loss of US$102 million in the equivalent period in 2020. 

The group's losses were attributable to its portfolio of owned hotels, while the management business was broadly breakeven due to increased management fees and lower operating costs.

All hotels were operational during the second quarter, whereas almost all hotels were closed in the same period last year.  In most markets, demand was largely domestic and leisure-based.

In Asia, demand on the Chinese mainland remained strong, while in South-East Asia, operating conditions generally worsened in the second quarter due to a resurgence in COVID-19 cases and low vaccination levels.  In Europe, Middle East and America, Covid-19 restrictions slowly eased, allowing occupancy levels to start to recover. 

The group continues to have a strong pipeline of future openings, with 21 new hotels and 13 residences scheduled to open in the next 5 years.

Government financial support in some markets and the group's ongoing cost-containment measures continued to support results.

There was a US$89 million decrease in the valuation of Mandarin Oriental's Causeway Bay site under development as a result of estimated market reductions in property values.

 

Financial Position

The balance sheet and liquidity of the Group remain strong, as reflected by the strong credit ratings assigned to the Company by the international rating agencies for the first time in the period. 

Shareholders' funds were US$27.8 billion at 30th June 2021, compared with US$29.4 billion at 31st December 2020. 

Consolidated net debt excluding financial services companies was US$8.1 billion at 30th June 2021, representing gearing of 14%, compared with 6% at 31st December 2020.  There was an increase in parent company debt resulting from the completion of the Group simplification in April 2021.  The debt incurred in connection with this transaction has since been mostly refinanced through a successful bond issue and the signing of new revolving credit facilities with the Group's relationship banks.

The Group had liquidity of US$13.9 billion as at 30th June 2021, consisting of US$7.6 billion in cash reserves and US$6.3 billion in unused, committed debt facilities.

On 8th March 2021, the Company announced a plan to simplify the Group's parent company structure, including the acquisition for cash of the 15% of Jardine Strategic Holdings Limited's ('Jardine Strategic') issued share capital that the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries did not already own (the 'Acquisition').  The Acquisition was implemented by way of an amalgamation of Jardine Strategic and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda.  The total Acquisition value was approximately US$5.6 billion, of which US$5.4 billion had been settled and reflected in the consolidated cash flow statement for the six months ended 30th June 2021.  The Acquisition was financed by the issuance of a US$1.2 billion bond on 9th April 2021, new revolving credit facilities and existing cash resources.

 

The Acquisition was completed on 14th April 2021, following shareholders' approval at the special general meeting on 12th April 2021.  The Acquisition value and the related transaction costs resulted in a reduction of the Group's total equity.

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 2020 annual financial statements and the Group has not early adopted any standard or amendments that have been issued but not yet effective, except as mentioned below:

 

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2: Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 (effective 1st January 2021)

 

The amendments provide practical expedient from certain requirements under the IFRSs as a result of the reform which affect the measurement of financial assets, financial liabilities and lease liabilities, and a number of reliefs for hedging relationships.  The Group applied the amendments from 1st January 2021 and there is no significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

 

COVID-19 Related Rent Concessions beyond 30th June 2021: Amendment to IFRS 16 Leases (effective 1st April 2021)

 

The Group adopted and applied the practical expedient of the Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions: Amendment to IFRS 16 Leases, published in June 2020 ('2020 amendment'), in the 2020 annual financial statements.  The 2021 amendment extends the practical expedient in the 2020 amendment to eligible lease payments due on or before 30th June 2022.  By using the 2021 amendment, the Group continues to apply the practical expedient consistently to all lease contracts with similar characteristics and in similar circumstances, and does not assess these concessions as lease modifications.

Share of tax charge of associates and joint ventures of US$160 million (2020: US$99 million) is included in share of results of associates and joint ventures.  Share of tax charge of US$8 million (2020: tax credit of US$19 million) is included in other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures.

 

 

6.    Earnings/(Loss) per Share

 

Basic loss per share are calculated on loss attributable to shareholders of US$117 million (2020: US$775 million) and on the weighted average number of 331 million (2020: 371 million) shares in issue during the period.

 

Diluted loss per share are calculated on loss attributable to shareholders of US$117 million (2020: US$775 million), which is after adjusting for the effects of the conversion of dilutive potential ordinary shares of subsidiaries and on the weighted average number of 331 million (2020: 371 million) shares in issue during the period.

 

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

7.    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 measured at fair value through profit and loss; gains and losses arising from the sale of businesses, investments and properties; impairment of non-depreciable intangible assets, associates and joint ventures 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.

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 and LP investment funds 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 2021 and the year ended 31st December 2020.

 

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value at 30th June 2021 and
