CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Overview
Jardine Cycle & Carriage ("JC&C" or "the Group") delivered a good result, compared to the same period in 2022, mainly due to higher contributions from Astra and Direct Motor Interests.
Astra contributed US$543 million to the Group's underlying profit, 17% higher than the same period last year, with improved performances from most of its businesses.
Direct Motor Interests contributed US$35 million, an increase of 22% compared to the same period last year, driven primarily by higher profits from the Malaysia operations and Tunas Ridean in Indonesia.
THACO contributed US$15 million, 72% down from the same period last year, mainly due to lower automotive profits.
Other Strategic Interests contributed US$29 million, 15% down from the same period last year. The first quarter contribution of Refrigeration Electrical Engineering Corporation ("REE") was up 16% from the prior year, offset by lower profits from Siam City Cement.
Corporate costs totalled US$38 million, compared to US$57 million in the same period last year. The decrease was mainly due to lower foreign exchange losses from the translation of foreign currency loans, which more than offset an increase in net financing charges.
The Group's underlying profit attributable to shareholders increased by 12% to US$583 million. After accounting for non-trading items, which mainly comprised gains from the sale and leaseback arrangement in respect of Cycle & Carriage Singapore's properties, and unrealised amounts arising from the revaluation of the Group's equity investments, the Group's profit attributable to shareholders was US$648 million, compared to US$487 million in the same period last year.
The Group's consolidated net cash position, excluding the net borrowings from Astra's financial services subsidiaries, was US$776 million at the end of June 2023, compared to US$893 million at the end of 2022. Net debt within Astra's financial services subsidiaries increased from US$2.8 billion to US$3.3 billion. JC&C parent company's net debt reduced from US$1.5 billion at the end of 2022 to US$883 million at the end of June 2023, following the receipt of enhanced dividends from Astra and the proceeds from the sale and leaseback of Cycle & Carriage Singapore's properties.
During the first half of the year, JC&C increased its interest in REE from 33.6% to 34.4% for US$8 million. In June, JC&C announced a used car and aftersales partnership with Carro, a leading digital used car platform. The partnership involves JC&C taking an interest in Carro and Carro will also acquire an interest in Republic Auto, JC&C's used car subsidiary in Singapore.

Astra
Astra contributed US$543 million to JC&C's underlying profit, 17% higher than the same period last year. Excluding the unrealised amounts arising from the revaluation of its equity investments, Astra reported a net profit equivalent to US$1.2 billion under Indonesian accounting standards, with stronger performances from most of its businesses, particularly its automotive, financial services, heavy equipment and mining contracting operations.
Automotive
Net income increased by 33% to US$379 million, reflecting higher sales volumes.
● The wholesale car market increased by 7% to 506,000 units in the first half. Astra's car sales were 7% higher at 278,000 units, with its market share marginally higher at 55%.
● The wholesale market for motorcycles increased by 43% to 3.2 million units in the first half. Astra Honda motorcycle sales were 56% higher at 2.6 million units, as the low base in the previous year was affected by production constraints caused by semiconductor supply issues. Correspondingly, Astra Honda's market share increased from 73% to 80%.
● Components business, Astra Otoparts, reported an 85% increase in net profit to US$53 million, mainly due to higher revenue from the original equipment manufacturer segment.
Financial Services
Net income increased by 32% to US$255 million due to higher contributions from Astra's consumer finance businesses.
● Consumer finance businesses saw a 27% increase in the amounts financed to US$4.0 billion. The net income contribution from the car-focused finance companies increased by 36% to US$75 million, and the contribution from the motorcycle-focused financing business increased by 30% to US$135 million, mainly due to larger loan portfolios and lower loan loss provisions.
● General insurance company, Asuransi Astra Buana, reported a 9% increase in net income to US$46 million due to higher underwriting income.
Heavy Equipment, Mining, Construction and Energy
Net income increased by 11% to US$459 million, mainly due to improved profits from heavy equipment sales and mining contracting which continued to benefit from elevated coal prices.
● Komatsu heavy equipment sales increased by 9% to 3,100 units, while its parts and service business revenue was also higher.
● Mining contracting operations reported an 18% increase in coal production at 59 million tonnes and a 20% increase in overburden removal volume at 524 million bank cubic metres.
● Coal mining subsidiaries reported an 11% increase in coal sales to 6.4 million tonnes, including 1.3 million tonnes of metallurgical coal.
● Agincourt Resources saw 24% lower gold sales at 110,000 oz.
● General contractor, Acset Indonusa, reported a lower net loss of US$4 million compared to a net loss of US$8 million in the same period last year.
Agribusiness
Net income decreased by 55% to US$19 million, mainly due to lower crude palm oil prices, partly cushioned by higher sales.
Infrastructure and Logistics
Astra's infrastructure and logistics division reported a 42% increase in net profit to US$33 million, mainly due to improved traffic volumes in its toll road businesses. Astra has 396km of operational toll roads along the Trans-Java network and in the Jakarta Outer Ring Road.
THACO
THACO contributed a US$15 million profit, 72% lower compared to the same period last year. THACO's automotive profits were significantly reduced, as Vietnam's automotive market overall was impacted by weaker economic and consumer sentiments, and greater competitive pressure.
Direct Motor Interests
The Group's Direct Motor Interests contributed US$35 million profit, 22% up compared to the same period last year.
● Cycle & Carriage Singapore's contribution was flat against the same period last year, mainly due to lower car sales volumes amidst a tightened COE cycle, partly offset by higher aftersales throughput volumes. Despite new car sales volumes were 13% down, overall market share increased from 19% to 20%.
● In Indonesia, Tunas Ridean contributed US$19 million, 30% higher than the same period last year, supported by improved operating volumes across its automotive, financial services and leasing businesses.
● Cycle & Carriage Bintang in Malaysia contributed a profit of US$6 million, 91% higher than the same period last year. New car sales volumes were 21% up at strong margins, supported by the government sales tax exemption, which expired in March.
Other Strategic Interests
The Group's Other Strategic Interests contributed a US$29 million profit, 15% down compared to the same period last year.
● The contribution from Siam City Cement was US$9 million, 41% lower than the previous year, as it continued to be adversely impacted by high energy costs.
● Based on its first-quarter results, REE's contribution of US$11 million was 16% higher than the previous year, mainly due to higher earnings from its water treatment and distribution businesses, and an increase in JC&C's shareholding.
● The Group's investment in Vinamilk produced a dividend income of US$9 million, similar to the previous year, with the business reporting an 8% decrease in net profit, mainly due to high raw material costs.
Corporate Costs
Corporate costs were US$38 million compared to US$57 million in the same period last year, as foreign exchange losses from the translation of foreign currency loans decreased from US$35 million to US$7 million. This foreign exchange impact was, however, offset by a US$11 million increase in net financing charges.
Dividend
The Board has declared an interim one-tier tax-exempt dividend of US¢28 per share (2022: US¢28 per share) for the half-year ended 30th June 2023.
Outlook
While economic uncertainties remain, the Group expects progress to continue into the second half of the year.

Jardine Cycle & Carriage Limited Notes to the financial statements for the six months ended 30th June 2023 |
1 Basis of preparation
The condensed interim financial statements for the six months ended 30th June 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information required for a complete set of financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance of the Group since the last annual financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2022. There have been no changes to the accounting policies described in the 2022 audited accounts which have been prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International) ("SFRS(I)") and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), except for the adoption of new and amended standards as set out below. The Group has not early adopted any other standard or amendments that have been issued but not yet effective.
The exchange rates used for translating assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are US$1=S$1.3553 (2022: US$1=S$1.3445), US$1=RM4.6797 (2022: US$1=RM4.4125), US$1=IDR15,000 (2022: US$1=IDR15,731), US$1=VND23,572 (2022: US$1=VND23,627) and US$1=THB35.655 (2022: US$1= THB34.560).
The exchange rates used for translating the results for the period are US$1=S$1.3385 (2022: US$1=S$1.3687), US$1=RM4.481 (2022: US$1=RM4.2868), US$1=IDR15,006 (2022: US$1=IDR14,495), US$1=VND23,545 (2022: US$1=VND22,958) and US$1=THB34.419 (2022: US$1=THB33.856).
Interpretations and amendments to published standard effective in 2023
A number of new standards and amendments were effective from 1st January 2023. The more important standards and amendments applicable to the Group are as follows:
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (effective from 1st January 2023)
The standard covers recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure for insurance contracts and is applicable to the Group's insurance businesses in Indonesia. Under IFRS 17, all profits are recognised in the profit and loss over the life of the contracts as insurance services are provided. Prior to 2023, for certain insurance contracts, profits were recognised in the profit and loss on initial recognition of the contracts. The different timing of profit recognition will result in an increase in liabilities upon adoption of IFRS 17. A portion of profits, previously recognised and accumulated in equity, prior to 2023, will now be recorded as liability under IFRS 17.
Amendments to IAS 12-Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (effective from 1st January 2023)
The amendment requires deferred tax to be recognised on transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. They typically apply to transactions such as leases of lessees and decommissioning obligations and require the recognition of additional deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Amendments to IAS 12-International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules (effective for annual reporting period commencing on or after 1st January 2023)
The amendment provides a temporary mandatory exception from deferred tax accounting in respect of Pillar Two income taxes and certain additional disclosure requirements.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the condensed interim financial statements require management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2022.

Fair value estimation
a) 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:
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.
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 the market interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data ("unobservable inputs")
The fair values of other unlisted equity investments are determined using valuation techniques by reference to observable current market transactions or the market prices of the underlying investments with certain degree of entity-specific estimates or discounted cash flows by projecting the cash inflows from these investments.
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the year.
The table below analyses the Group's financial instruments carried at fair value, by the levels in the fair value measurement hierarchy.

b) Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value
The fair values of current debtors, bank balances and other liquid funds, current creditors, current borrowings and current lease liabilities of the Group and the Company 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 disclosed 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.
