Management Discussion and Analysis

BUSINESS REVIEW

During the six months ended 30 June 2020 (the "Period"), the Group's revenue is mainly derived from (i) the leasing of units and car parking spaces in Regent Centre, Hong Kong ("Regent Centre"); (ii) the leasing of Ryder Court in London, the United Kingdom ("Ryder Court"); (iii) interest from investment instruments ("Investment Instruments") for funding the development of the Park Row property in New York, the United States of America (the "US"); and (iv) provision of asset management services. Revenue for the Period was approximately HK$233.2 million (six months ended 30 June 2019: HK$51.1 million), representing an increase of 356%. The increase was mainly due to (i) the interest income on the Investment Instruments acquired by the Group in June 2019; (ii) the revenue generated from Ryder Court acquired by the Group in June 2019; and (iii) the revenue generated from the asset management services which the Group began providing in June 2019.

The Group's investment in Regent Centre was at a fair value at approximately HK$2,004.5 million as at 30 June 2020 (31 December 2019: HK$2,004.5 million). The Group's investment in Ryder Court was at a fair value at approximately HK$1,045.7 million as at 30 June 2020 (31 December 2019: HK$1,149.5 million). There has been no change in the valuation methodology of the Group's investment properties. After netting off the exchange adjustments of investment properties of approximately HK$76.1 million, the fair value loss amounted to approximately HK$27.7 million for the Period (six months ended 30 June 2019: fair value gain of HK$32.6 million).

Excluding the change in fair value of investment properties and share of results of associates of the Group, the Group's underlying profit for the Period was approximately HK$99.0 million (six months ended 30 June 2019: HK$30.7 million), representing an increase of approximately 222%. The increase was mainly due to (i) the interest income on the Investment Instruments acquired by the Group in June 2019; (ii) the net profit generated from Ryder Court acquired by the Group in June 2019; and (iii) the net profit generated from the asset management services which the Group began providing in June 2019.

Property Investment

The Group's investment properties comprise (i) various portions of Regent Centre, which is located at 63 Wo Yi Hop Road and 70 Ta Chuen Ping Street, Kwai Chung, New Territories, Hong Kong; and (ii) Ryder Court, which is located at 13-17 Bury Street and 12, 14 and 16 Ryder Street, St James's, London, SW1, the United Kingdom.

The Group owns a total gross floor area of approximately 657,000 square feet in Regent Centre and approximately 76,000 square feet in Ryder Court, representing 64% and 100% of the total gross floor area, respectively.

During the Period, the Group renewed the leases of Regent Centre at a stable rental reversion. Occupancy of Regent Centre remained at 97% as at 30 June 2020 (30 June 2019: 98%) with passing rent at HK$10.0 per square foot as at 30 June 2020 (30 June 2019: HK$9.9 per square foot). Apart from monthly rent, the tenants are responsible for payment of property management fee to the landlord, whose income has been accounted for as part of the revenue of the Group. Total revenue from the leasing of units and car parking spaces in Regent Centre was approximately HK$51.4 million (six months ended 30 June 2019: HK$51.1 million).

As at 30 June 2020, the occupancy rate of the Ryder Court was 99%. Total revenue from the leasing of Ryder Court during the Period was approximately HK$24.8 million (six months ended 30 June 2019: nil).

Segment profit after deducting property management fees, carpark management expenses, leasing commission and other operating expenses but before change in fair value of investment properties of the Group amounted to approximately HK$63.8 million for the Period (six months ended 30 June 2019: HK$40.0 million), representing an increase of 60%. The increase was mainly due to the profit before change in fair value of investment properties generated from Ryder Court acquired by the Group in June 2019.

BUSINESS REVIEW (continued)

Property development

The Group's property development projects comprise (i) investment in the development of the West Rail Tsuen Wan West Station TW6 property development project (the "TW6 Project" and also known as "The Pavilia Bay"); (ii) investment in 657 and 663-667 Mission Street, San Francisco, California, the US ("Mission Street Property"); (iii) participation in the Investment Instruments; and (iv) the development of the property comprising pieces or parcels of ground located at 62, 64, 66 and 68 Chun Yeung Street, Hong Kong (the "Chun Yeung Street Property").

One of the Group's property development projects is represented by investment in Ultimate Vantage Limited ("Ultimate Vantage"), a 20% associate of the Group. Ultimate Vantage is a special purpose vehicle established in January 2013 for the development of the TW6 Project. Up to the date hereof, over 99% of the units have been sold at gross proceeds of HK$10.1 billion and substantially all sold units of The Pavilia Bay have been handed over to the buyers.

Gold Value Limited ("Gold Value"), a 20% associate of the Group, was formed by the Group and the joint venture partner in Ultimate Vantage (the "TW6 Partner") in November 2016 for the purpose of providing first and second mortgage financing to the buyers of the TW6 Project on market terms (the "Provision of Mortgages"). Finance for the business of Gold Value is provided by the Group and the TW6 Partner by way of interest-bearing shareholder's loans on a several basis and in proportion to each of the parties' shareholding interest in Gold Value.

The Group's total investment in Ultimate Vantage and Gold Value (collectively, the "TW6 Associates"), comprising the share of net assets of the Group in the TW6 Associates as well as amounts due from the TW6 Associates, amounted to approximately HK$275.2 million as at 30 June 2020 (31 December 2019: HK$305.5 million). The decrease in total investment of the Group during the Period was mainly due to the partial repayment of the amount due from Gold Value Limited of approximately HK$29.2 million (out of the repayment of mortgages by the buyers of The Pavilia Bay to Gold Value).

The Group's share of loss of TW6 Associates amounted to approximately HK$1.1 million for the Period (six months ended 30 June 2019: share of profit of HK$14.5 million). The decrease in share of profit was mainly due to (i) nil unit was handed over to the buyer during the Period as most of the units were sold and handed over to the buyers in the prior years; and (ii) the share of operating loss of TW6 Associates during the Period.

Another of the Group's property investment is represented by investment in 657-667 Mission Street Venture LLC, a 45% associate of the Group, and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Mission Street Group"). The Mission Street Group owns the Mission Street Property with a total gross floor area of approximately 155,000 square feet.

During the Period, Mission continued to be under renovation and the Group had shared a loss of approximately HK$15.4 million (six months ended 30 June 2019: nil) from Mission Street Group. The share of loss was mainly due to the share of operating loss of Mission during the Period. Mission is expected to begin generating revenue for the Mission Street Group in 2021.

The Group's another property development project is represented by the participation in 49% effective interest in the Investment Instruments for funding the development of the property located at 25 Park Row, New York, the US ("Park Row") held by Supreme J Limited, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. During the Period, the revenue generated from the Investment Instruments amounted to approximately HK$42.6 million (six months ended 30 June 2019: nil).

Management Discussion and Analysis (continued)

BUSINESS REVIEW (continued)

Property development (continued)

The Group owns approximately 99.89% effective interest in the Chun Yeung Street Property. The Chun Yeung Street Property is being redeveloped into a hospitality-related property and has not begun generating revenue for the Group during the Period. The development is expected to be completed in 2022.

Segment profit increased to approximately HK$28.8 million for the Period (six months ended 30 June 2019: HK$18.0 million), mainly due to interest income on the Investment Instruments which the Group acquired in June 2019.

Asset management

From the second half of 2019 onwards, the Group began providing asset management services to Vanke Property (Hong Kong) Company Limited ("VPHK"), an intermediate holding company of the Company, and certain of its subsidiaries (including other subsidiaries of China Vanke Co., Ltd ("China Vanke") (the "VPHK Parties") with respect to VPHK Parties' projects in Hong Kong, the United Kingdom and the US. In return, the asset management service fees calculated at 1.25% per annum of the total capital of the relevant projects invested by VPHK Parties was charged by the Group. During the Period, the Group's revenue from the provision of asset management services amounted to approximately HK$114.4 million (six months ended 30 June 2019: nil).

Segment profit from the provision of asset management services amounted to approximately HK$38.5 million for the Period (six months ended 30 June 2019: nil).

Head office and corporate expenses

Head office and corporate expenses, net of unallocated income, were approximately HK$7.3 million during the Period (six months ended 30 June 2019: HK$17.9 million). The decrease was mainly due to the legal and professional fees arising from acquisitions of subsidiaries during the six months ended 30 June 2019 while there was no such fees incurred during the Period.

Finance income

Finance income for the Period amounted to approximately HK$5.5 million (six months ended 30 June 2019: HK$14.7 million), comprising interest income on bank deposits and bank balances of approximately HK$2.7 million for the Period (six months ended 30 June 2019: HK$11.1 million) and interest income on shareholders' loans due from Gold Value amounted to approximately HK$2.8 million for the Period (six months ended 30 June 2019: HK$3.6 million). The decrease in finance income is due to the decrease in bank interest rates, the average bank balances and average shareholders' loans due from Gold Value during the Period.

Events after the Reporting Period

There have been no matters that have occurred subsequent to the reporting date which have significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, results or state of affairs.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Liquidity, financial resources, gearing and capital structure

Equity attributable to shareholders of the Company amounted to approximately HK$3,785.9 million as at 30 June 2020 (31 December 2019: HK$3,764.3 million). The increase was mainly due to the equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company for the Period of approximately HK$56.7 million less a payment of 2019 final dividend of approximately HK$35.1 million.

The Group's interest-bearing bank and other borrowings of approximately HK$1,186.6 million (31 December 2019: 1,258.0 million) as at 30 June 2020 were mainly denominated in pound sterling. The bank loans of approximately HK$1,116.3 million (31 December 2019: a bank loan of HK$771.9 million and the loan from an intermediate holding company of HK$424.6 million) were arranged on a floating rate basis, while the lease liabilities of approximately HK$70.3 million (31 December 2019: HK$61.5 million) were arranged on a fixed rate basis. The decrease was due to net repayment of bank and other borrowings, and the depreciation of pound sterling against Hong Kong dollar during the Period.

The Group has two banking facilities amounting to HK$1,000.0 million (31 December 2019: nil) (the "HK Loan Facility")

and GBP75.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$725.5 million) (31 December 2019: GBP75.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$776.8 million)) in which GBP42.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$406.3 million) (31 December 2019: nil) and GBP73.8 million (equivalent to approximately HK$713.7 million) (31 December 2019: GBP74.8 million (equivalent to approximately HK$774.6 million)) have been utilised as at 30 June 2020. After deducting other borrowing costs capitalised of approximately HK$1.9 million (31 December 2019: nil) and HK$1.8 million (31 December 2019: HK$2.6 million), the total outstanding bank loan was approximately HK$404.4 million and HK$711.9 million, respectively. As at 30 June 2020, the maturity profile of outstanding bank loan was as follows:

As at 30 June 2020, the debt-to-equity ratio of the Company, which is calculated as interest-bearing bank and other borrowings divided by total equity of the Group, was 31.3% (31 December 2019: 33.4%). The ratio of net debts (interest- bearing bank and other borrowings net of bank balances and cash) divided by total equity was 17.4% (31 December 2019: 21.4%).

The Group's bank balances and cash amounted to approximately HK$526.8 million as at 30 June 2020 (31 December 2019: HK$450.9 million). One of the Group's properties, Chun Yeung Street Property, which is free from encumbrances for the time being, can be leveraged to raise funds and bring in additional cash resources to the Group as and when required. Taking these into account, it is expected that the Group should have sufficient working capital for its current requirements.

Management Discussion and Analysis (continued)

FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

Risk of fluctuations in exchange rates

As the Group operates in Hong Kong, the US and the United Kingdom, all its assets and liabilities are denominated in Hong Kong dollar, the US dollar and pound sterling. The Group will monitor the foreign exchange exposures and take appropriate measures from time to time in order to minimise the Group's foreign exchange exposures. The Group holds a natural hedge on its foreign exchange exposure in pound sterling by way of a bank loan denominated in pound sterling to cover its equity investment in Ryder Court.

Capital commitments

The Group had a commitment of approximately HK$46.1 million as at 30 June 2020 (31 December 2019: HK$24.7 million) in respect of capital expenditure to be incurred in the development of the Chun Yeung Street Property.

Contingent liabilities and financial guarantees

The Group had no outstanding contingent liabilities and financial guarantees as at 30 June 2020 (31 December 2019: nil).

Pledge of assets

The Group's investment properties with a carry value of approximately HK$1,045.7 million at 30 June 2020 (31 December 2019: HK$1,149.5 million) were pledged to secure banking facilities of the Group.

Significant investments held, material acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries and associates

Save for those disclosed in this interim report, there were no other significant investments held, nor were there any material acquisitions or disposals of subsidiaries and associates during the Period. There was no plan authorised by the Directors for material investments or additions of capital assets at the date of this interim report.

EMPLOYEES AND REMUNERATION POLICY

The Group had 93 employees as at 30 June 2020 (31 December 2019: 91). As a result of the increase in the number of employees, there was an increase in staff costs (including emoluments of directors of the Company (the "Directors")) to approximately HK$62.1 million (six months ended 30 June 2019: HK$4.3 million) during the Period. As at 30 June 2019 and 1 November 2019, 28 and 54 employees were transferred to the Group, respectively, and the Group has not incurred staff costs for these employees during the six months ended 30 June 2019.

VPHK provides administrative and management support to the Group on a cost basis. Total fee payable to VPHK amounted to approximately HK$5.3 million during the Period (six months ended 30 June 2019: HK$1.0 million), with the increase mainly attributable to the increase in the average number of employees in Hong Kong office to 65 (six months ended 30 June 2019: 5) during the Period.

The Executive Directors periodically review the adequacy of the staffing of the Group by reference to the Group's business requirements. Should there be employees recruited under the Group, their remuneration and benefit packages will be structured on market terms with regard to individual responsibility and performance. All eligible employees in Hong Kong are enrolled to a defined mandatory provident fund scheme. Other employment benefits are awarded at the discretion of the Group.

DIVIDEND

The Directors do not recommend the payment of an interim dividend for the Period (six months ended 30 June 2019: nil).

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

Review report to the Board of Directors of Vanke Overseas Investment Holding Company Limited (Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 9 to 25 which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position of Vanke Overseas Investment Holding Company Limited and its subsidiaries (the "Group") as of 30 June 2020 and the related consolidated statement of profit or loss, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the six months period then ended and explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of an interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof, and to be in compliance with either International Accounting Standard 34 ("IAS 34"), Interim financial reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board or Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ("HKAS 34"), Interim financial reporting, issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants, depending on whether the issuer's annual financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs") or Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") respectively. As the annual financial statements of the Group are prepared in accordance with both IFRSs and HKFRSs, the directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with both IAS 34 and HKAS 34.

Our responsibility is to form a conclusion, based on our review, on the interim financial information and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity, issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of the interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

CONCLUSION

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information as at 30 June 2020 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and HKAS 34.

Notes to the Unaudited Interim Financial Information (continued)

  • BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

With due regard to the Group's accounting policies in previous periods and the requirements of IFRS 1, management has concluded that no adjustments were required to the amounts reported under HKFRSs as at the date of transition to IFRSs or in respect of the six months ended 30 June 2019 and the year ended 31 December 2019. Accordingly, the Interim Financial Information continues to include a statement of compliance with HKAS 34 as well as including for the first time a statement of compliance with IAS 34, without adjustment to the Group's financial position, the Group's financial performance or cash flows either at the date of transition to IFRSs or for the comparative period presented in accordance with HKFRSs.

The equivalent new and revised HKFRSs consequently issued by the HKICPA as a result of these developments have the same effective date as those issued by the IASB and are in all material aspects identical to the pronouncements issued by the IASB.

None of the developments have had a material effect on how the Group's results and financial position for the current or prior periods have been prepared or presented in the Interim Financial Information. The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.

The preparation of Interim Financial Information in conformity with IAS 34/HKAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses on a year to date basis.

The notes include an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the 2019 annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereon do not include all of the information required for full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRSs or HKFRSs.
