2024 HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND DIVIDEND ANNOUNCEMENT
Highlights
· Adopted new business segment reporting to reflect JC&C's strategic market focus
· Underlying profit 14% lower at US$500 million
· Interim dividend per share of US¢28, unchanged from 2023
"In the first half of 2024, the Group's businesses in Indonesia and Vietnam experienced softer consumer demand and lower commodity prices compared to previous high levels. Weaker domestic currencies in these countries also had an impact on the overall profit contribution in US dollar terms. Notwithstanding these current headwinds, to deliver attractive returns to our shareholders, JC&C has continued to actively take steps to strengthen future earnings through aligning strategies, capital allocation and leadership. We expect the performance of our market-leading businesses to be resilient for the rest of the year, and we remain confident that our portfolio can deliver sustainable long-term growth."

GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
Overview
Jardine Cycle & Carriage ("JC&C" or "the Group") has a high-quality portfolio that is invested in current and future market-leading businesses of Southeast Asia, in particular, the largest and fastest growing economies of Indonesia and Vietnam.
We aim to achieve sustainable long-term growth that outperforms Southeast Asia's GDP rates and to consistently deliver attractive shareholder returns. We do so by actively evolving and rebalancing our portfolio and strategically allocating capital to enhance current profits and grow future earnings through business development opportunities.
During the first half of 2024, we made good progress towards these strategic objectives.
• We succeeded in releasing a further US$25 million from within our portfolio through monetising non-core assets in Malaysia.
• We continued to allocate capital to our future market leaders and to new investment opportunities. JC&C applied to launch a Public Tender Offer for Refrigeration Electrical Engineering Corporation ("REE"), while through United Tractors, the Group invested US$81 million in PT Supreme Energy Rantau Dedap ("SERD"), which owns a geothermal project in Sumatera, Indonesia. These developments are in line with JC&C's long-term growth and sustainability objectives.
• A key role of the Group is to enable the future strategies of our portfolio companies through people and leadership. In Vietnam, the new finance appointments of Truong Hai Group Corporation ("THACO") and REE Corporation are talents from the wider Jardine Matheson Group.
• We maintained our interim dividend payout of US¢28 to our shareholders.
In line with these portfolio developments, JC&C reorganised its business segment reporting in 2024, to provide greater clarity and add emphasis to the Group's focus on the Indonesian and Vietnamese markets. The new group structure comprises three business pillars:
| Indonesia | Vietnam | Regional Interests |
| Astra | THACO
| Cycle & Carriage |
| Tunas Ridean | REE Corporation
| Siam City Cement ("SCCC") |
| | Vinamilk | Toyota Motor Corporation ("TMC")
|
For the first six months of 2024, JC&C recorded 14% lower profits than in the same period in 2023. The Group's businesses in Indonesia contributed US$513 million, a decrease of 9%, and Vietnam's contribution was 12% lower at US$30 million. JC&C's Regional Interests contributed US$25 million, down 13%.
Corporate costs totalled US$68 million, compared to US$41 million in the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to higher foreign exchange losses from the translation of foreign currency loans.
The Group's underlying profit attributable to shareholders decreased by 14% to US$500 million. After accounting for non-trading items of US$17 million, which mainly comprised unrealised fair value losses related to non-current investments, the Group's profit attributable to shareholders was US$483 million, compared to US$648 million in the same period last year.
The Group's consolidated net debt position, excluding the net borrowings from Astra's financial services subsidiaries, was US$543 million at the end of June 2024, compared to US$1,145 million at the end of 2023 mainly due to strong operating cashflow. Net debt within Astra's financial services subsidiaries increased from US$3.4 billion to US$3.5 billion. JC&C parent company's net debt reduced from US$1.3 billion at the end of 2023 to US$1.1 billion at the end of June 2024, following the receipt of enhanced dividends from Astra.

INDONESIA
The Group's Indonesian businesses contributed US$513 million to its underlying profit, down 9%.
(A) Astra
Astra contributed US$497 million to JC&C's underlying profit, 8% down from the same period last year, mainly due to weaker performances from its heavy equipment and mining operations, as well as the translation impact from a weaker foreign exchange rate. Assuming constant foreign exchange rates with the equivalent period last year, Astra's contribution would have been 2% lower. Under Indonesian accounting standards, Astra reported a net profit equivalent to US$1 billion, excluding the unrealised fair value losses arising from the revaluation of its GoTo and Hermina investments.
Automotive
Net income decreased by 3% to US$345 million, reflecting lower sales volumes in a softer automotive market.
• The wholesale car market decreased by 19% to 408,000 units in the first half. Astra's car sales were 17% lower at 232,000 units, and its market share increased from 55% to 57%.
• The wholesale market for motorcycles decreased slightly to 3.2 million units in the first half. Astra Honda motorcycle sales were 4% lower at 2.4 million units, with its market share decreasing from 80% to 77%.
• Components business Astra Otoparts reported a 26% increase in net profit to US$63 million, mainly due to higher export earnings which offset the impact of lower domestic original equipment manufacturer sales.
• The used car digital trading business, OLXmobbi, recorded 12,000 units of used car sales through its platform, double the same period last year.
Financial Services
Net income increased by 8% to US$257 million, due to higher contributions from Astra's consumer finance businesses on larger loan portfolios.
• Consumer finance businesses saw a 5% increase in the amounts financed to US$3.9 billion. The net income contribution from the car-focused finance companies increased by 2% to US$72 million, and the contribution from the motorcycle-focused financing business increased by 12% to US$141 million.
• General insurance company Asuransi Astra Buana reported an 11% increase in net income to US$48 million, mainly due to higher insurance revenue.
Heavy Equipment, Mining, Construction and Energy
Net income decreased by 15% to US$365 million, mainly due to lower profits from heavy equipment sales and mining operations, as coal prices declined.
• Komatsu heavy equipment sales were 32% lower at 2,100 units.
• Mining contracting operations saw a 13% increase in overburden removal volume at 590 million bank cubic metres and an 18% increase in coal production for its clients, to 70 million tonnes.
• Coal mining subsidiaries reported a 17% increase in coal sales to 7.5 million tonnes, but revenue declined due to lower coal prices.
• Agincourt Resources reported a slight increase in gold sales to 110,000 oz, and benefitted from higher gold selling prices.
• United Tractors recorded nickel mining profit contributions in 2024 from its (i) majority-owned Stargate Pasific Resources ("SPR"), which was acquired in December 2023, and (ii) 19.99%-owned Nickel Industries Limited ("NIC"), acquired in September 2023. United Tractors recognised equity income from NIC for the 6-month period in arrears based on NIC's results up to the first quarter of 2024, owing to the timing of NIC's results announcements. SPR reported 967,000 wet metric tonnes of nickel ore sales in the first half of 2024, while NIC reported 67,200 tonnes of nickel metal sold in the last quarter of 2023 and in the first quarter of 2024.
Agribusiness
Net income increased by 36% to US$25 million, mainly due to higher sales of crude palm oil and its derivatives, alongside increased selling prices.
Infrastructure and Logistics
Astra's infrastructure and logistics division reported a 24% increase in net income to US$39 million, primarily due to improved traffic volumes in its toll road businesses. Astra has 396km of operational toll roads along the Trans-Java network and the Jakarta Outer Ring Road.
(B) Tunas Ridean
Tunas Ridean contributed US$16 million, 18% lower than the same period last year, due to lower profits from its automotive operations and the translation impact from a weaker foreign exchange rate. Motorcycle sales declined 16% to 123,000 units, while car sales were 4% lower at 22,000 units.
VIETNAM
JC&C's businesses in Vietnam contributed US$30 million to the Group's underlying profit, down 12%.
(A) THACO
THACO contributed US$15 million, 5% up compared to the previous year. The car market increased marginally as it continued to be impacted by weak consumer demand. THACO's unit sales, meanwhile, were up 10% to 36,600 units, improving its market share from 21% to 23%. Nonetheless, automotive profit declined due to lower margins, as a result of greater competitive pressure.
(B) REE Corporation
Based on its first-quarter results, REE's contribution of US$7 million was 39% lower than the previous year. This was mainly due to lower hydropower demand which led to lower earnings from the power generation business.
In July, JC&C applied to launch a public tender offer ("PTO") to acquire additional shares of REE. JC&C currently owns a 34.9% interest in REE, and a PTO is required to cross the 35.0% shareholding threshold. The application is pending regulatory approval.
(C) Vinamilk
JC&C's holding in Vinamilk produced a dividend income of US$8 million, compared to US$9 million in the previous year, due to the translation effect from a weaker foreign exchange rate.
Regional Interests
Regional Interests contributed US$25 million, 13% down compared to the same period last year.
(A) Cycle & Carriage
The contribution from Cycle & Carriage was 46% lower at US$9 million. In Singapore, new car sales were 16% higher at 3,174 units. However, its profit was impacted by higher leasing expenses, and a lower profit contribution from the used car operations of Republic Auto due to a 40% reduction in shareholding since October 2023. Profit from the Malaysia operations was also lower, as the business transitioned to an agency model at the start of the year.
(B) SCCC
The contribution from Siam City Cement was US$12 million, 38% higher than the previous year, as lower energy costs supported improved profits.
(C) TMC
The Group's investment in TMC produced a dividend income of US$4 million in the first half of 2024, compared to US$3 million in the same period last year.
Corporate Costs
Corporate costs were US$68 million compared to US$41 million in the same period last year, as foreign exchange losses from the translation of foreign currency loans increased from US$7 million to US$28 million.
Dividend
The Board has declared an interim one-tier tax-exempt dividend of US¢28 per share (2023: US¢28 per share) for the half-year ended 30th June 2024.
Outlook
"To deliver attractive returns to our shareholders, JC&C has continued to actively take steps to strengthen future earnings through aligning strategies, capital allocation and leadership. We expect the performance of our market-leading businesses to be resilient for the rest of the year, and we remain confident that our portfolio can deliver sustainable long-term growth."

| Jardine Cycle & Carriage Limited Notes to the financial statements for the six months ended 30th June 2024 |
1 Basis of preparation
The condensed interim financial statements for the six months ended 30th June 2024 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 2023. There have been no changes to the accounting policies described in the 2023 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 Group adopted IFRS 17 'Insurance Contracts' ('IFRS 17') in 2023. Prior to the adoption of IFRS 17, profits were recognised in the profit and loss account on initial recognition of certain insurance contracts. Under IFRS 17, all profits are recognised in the profit and loss account over the life of the contracts as insurance services are provided.
Whilst the net impact of the adoption of IFRS 17 was immaterial to the 2023 condensed interim financial statements for the six months ended 30th June 2023, we have made restatements to the Group's published financial statements for the six months ended 30th June 2023 to ensure comparability with the IFRS 17 restatements made in the 2023 Annual Report.
The exchange rates used for translating assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are US$1=S$1.3579 (2023: US$1=S$1.3185), US$1=RM4.7172 (2023: US$1=RM4.5872), US$1=IDR16,421 (2023: US$1=IDR15,416), US$1=VND25,458 (2023: US$1=VND24,276) and US$1=THB36.848 (2023: US$1=THB34.211).
The exchange rates used for translating the results for the period are US$1=S$1.3501 (2023: US$1=S$1.3385), US$1=RM4.7351 (2023: US$1=RM4.481), US$1=IDR16,041 (2023: US$1=IDR15,006), US$1=VND25,021 (2023: US$1=VND23,545) and US$1=THB36.396 (2023: US$1=THB34.419).
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 2023.

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.

17 Segment Information
Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the Board for the purpose of resource allocation and performance assessment. In 2024, the business segment reporting was re-organised to give greater clarity and add emphasis to the Group's focused markets of Indonesia and Vietnam. Within Indonesia and Vietnam; Astra, THACO and REE are operating segments identified by the Group. The Board considers Astra as one operating segment because it represents a single direct investment made by the Company. Decisions for resource allocation and performance assessment of Astra are made by the Board of the Company while resource allocation and performance assessment of the various Astra businesses are made by the board of Astra, taking into consideration the opinions of the Board of the Company. THACO and REE are also identified as operating segments based on the scale and growth of their businesses, and the Board considered the information useful to the readers of the financial statements. Regional Interests represent the Group's collective businesses outside of Indonesia and Vietnam. Set out below is an analysis of the segment information.
