FINANCIAL REVIEW References are to “Notes to the Financial Statements” on pages 147 to 204. Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Reference Revenue 14,670 13,826 Note 4 The increase in revenue of HK$844 million compared to 2022 was principally due to higher gross rental income from property investment and higher revenue from hotels, partly offset by lower revenue from property trading. Gross rental income from property investment increased by HK$1,182 million. In the Chinese Mainland, gross rental income increased by HK$1,157 million, mainly reflecting the strong recovery of the retail portfolio from the pandemic and the incremental contribution arising from the completion of the acquisition of the remaining 35% interest in Taikoo Li Chengdu in February 2023. In the U.S.A., gross rental income increased, principally due to the improved tenant mix. In Hong Kong, gross rental income was at par. The higher retail rental income as a result of strong recovery of the retail sales, was offset by the lower office rental income, reflecting the weak office market. Revenue from hotels increased by HK$414 million. Hotels in Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland recovered strongly following the lifting of COVID-19 related measures, the reopening of the border and resumption of international flights. Occupancy and room rates improved. Revenue from property trading decreased by HK$755 million from 2022. In 2023, revenue was recognised from the sale of 6 units of EIGHT STAR STREET in Hong Kong. In 2022, revenue was recognised from the sale of 27 units of EIGHT STAR STREET in Hong Kong and a property in Fort Lauderdale in Florida, U.S.A. 74

Gross profit from property investment and hotels increased by HK$913 million and HK$200 million respectively, while gross profit from property trading decreased by HK$253 million. Gross profit from property investment increased by HK$913 million, principally due to the strong recovery of the retail portfolio in Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland and the incremental contribution from Taikoo Li Chengdu, partly offset by lower office gross profit in Hong Kong. Hotel business recorded a gross profit of HK$80 million in 2023 compared with a gross loss of HK$120 million in 2022, mainly due to higher hotel revenue in Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland. Gross profit from property trading reflected the recognition of profits on the sale of EIGHT STAR STREET units in Hong Kong. Operating Profit 5,180 9,024 Note 8(a) The decrease in operating profit of HK$3,844 million was principally due to a fair value loss on investment properties in 2023 (compared with a fair value gain in 2022), partly offset by higher profits from property investment in the Chinese Mainland. The fair value gain in 2022 was primarily due to a reduction of 25 to 50 basis points in the capitalisation rates of certain investment properties in the Chinese Mainland and a fair value gain in relation to certain properties held under development. A fair value loss on investment properties of HK$2,829 million was recorded in 2023, compared with a fair value gain of HK$801 million in 2022. Investment properties in Hong Kong recorded a fair value loss of HK$3,073 million, principally due to lower rents. The investment properties at Brickell City Centre in Miami, U.S.A. recorded a fair value gain of HK$166 million, mainly due to higher rents. Investment properties in the Chinese Mainland recorded a fair value gain of HK$78 million. Administrative and selling expenses increased by HK$345 million compared to 2022. The increase principally reflected higher project related costs and inflation in 2023. 75

Capital Management Audited Financial Information The Group’s primary objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to operate as a going concern, so that it can continue to provide returns for shareholders, and to secure access to finance at a reasonable cost. The Group considers a number of factors in monitoring its capital structure, which principally include the gearing ratio, cash interest cover and the return cycle of its investments. For the purpose of the gearing ratio, the Group defines net debt as total borrowings and lease liabilities less short-term deposits and bank balances. Capital comprises total equity, as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position. In order to maintain or adjust the gearing ratio, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, repurchase shares, raise new debt financing or sell assets to reduce debt. The gearing ratios at 31st December 2023 and 31st December 2022 were as follows: 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Total borrowings 41,169 22,835 Lease liabilities 607 614 Less: Short-term deposits and bank balances 5,097 4,502 Net debt 36,679 18,947 Total equity 288,149 292,258 Gearing ratio 12.7% 6.5% The Group has given certain covenants under facilities from third-parties, including maintenance of a minimum amount of tangible net worth.

EAST HONG KONG, HONG KONG

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Shareholders of Swire Properties Limited (incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability) Opinion What we have audited The consolidated financial statements of Swire Properties Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which are set out on pages 142 to 210, comprise: • the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31st December 2023; • the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the year then ended; • the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income for the year then ended; • the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; • the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended; and • the notes to the consolidated financial statements, comprising material accounting policy information and other explanatory information. Our opinion In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31st December 2023, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) and have been properly prepared in compliance with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (“HKSAs”) issued by the HKICPA. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA’s Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

We found the key assumptions were supported by the available evidence. We found the disclosures in note 16 to be appropriate. 139

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT Other Information The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information included in the annual report other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The other information does not include the specific information presented therein that is identified as being an integral part of the consolidated financial statements and, therefore, covered by our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors and the Audit Committee for the Consolidated Financial Statements The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. We report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with Section 405 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. 140

SWIRE PROPERTIES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Tsang Nga Kwan. PricewaterhouseCoopers Certified Public Accountants Hong Kong, 14th March 2024 141

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS General Information The Company is a limited liability company incorporated in Hong Kong and its shares are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The principal activity of the Company is that of a holding company. The principal activities of its major subsidiary, joint venture and associated companies are shown on pages 208 to 210. 1. Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures (a) The following revised standards and interpretation were required to be adopted by the Group effective from 1st January 2023: Amendments to HKAS 1, HKAS 8 and HKAS 12 Narrow-scope Amendments Amendments to HKAS 12 International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules Amendments to HKAS 1 and Disclosure of Accounting Policies HKFRS Practice Statement 2 HKFRS 17 and Amendments to HKFRS 17 Insurance Contracts HK(IFRIC)-Interpretation 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration The Group previously accounted for deferred taxation on leases that results in a similar outcome in the consolidated financial statements of the Group following the adoption of the “Narrow-scope Amendments (Amendments to HKAS 1, HKAS 8 and HKAS 12)”, except that the deferred tax asset or liability was recognised on a net basis prior to offsetting as permitted in HKAS 12. Following the adoption of these amendments in the Group’s accounting policies, the Group has recognised deferred tax assets in relation to its lease liabilities and deferred tax liabilities in relation to its right-of-use assets separately. The key impact for the Group relates to the disclosure of the deferred tax assets and liabilities recognised, this includes the restatement of opening balances and movements, as set out in note 30. There is no impact to the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position as of 31st December 2023, 31st December 2022 and 1st January 2022, the results and the earnings per share for the year ended 31st December 2023 and 2022. Except for Amendments to HKAS 1, HKAS 8 and HKAS 12, none of the revised standards and interpretation had a significant effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements or accounting policies. (b) The Group has not early adopted the following relevant revised standards and interpretation that have been issued but are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January 2024 and such standards have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. 1 Amendments to HKAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current and Non-current 1 Amendments to HKAS 1 Non-current Liabilities with Covenants Amendments to HKFRS 16 Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback1 HK-Interpretation 5 (2020) Presentation of Financial Statements – Classification by the Borrower 1 of a Term Loan that Contains a Repayment on Demand Clause 1 Amendments to HKAS 7 and HKFRS 7 Supplier Finance Arrangements 2 Amendments to HKAS 21 Lack of Exchangability Amendments to HKFRS 10 and HKAS 28 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and 3 its Associate or Joint Venture 1 To be applied by the Group from 1st January 2024. 2 To be applied by the Group from 1st January 2025. 3 The effective date is to be determined. None of these revised standards and interpretation are expected to have a significant effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. 147

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Changes in Accounting Policies and Disclosures (continued) (c) In December 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) issued model rules for a new global minimum tax framework (“Pillar Two”) (i.e. BEPS 2.0), and various governments around the world have issued, or are in the process of issuing, legislation on this. The ultimate holding company of the Group is in the process of assessing the full impact of this in various regions that the Group has operations. The HKSAR Government and the respective governments of the Group’s major operating regions have not enacted the legislation on Pillar Two as of the date of approval of these 2023 financial statements. (d) On 22nd February 2023, the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants published the Financial Reporting Alert 44 to highlight the potential accounting impact of the abolition of the Mandatory Provident Fund (“MPF”) – Long Service Payment (“LSP”) offsetting mechanism on entities in Hong Kong and, in particular, two broad tentative approaches to analyse the issue. The Group has adopted the approach to treat the offsetable accrued benefits as deemed employee contributions. Under this approach, the accrued benefits arising from employer’s MPF contributions that have been vested with the employees and which would be used to offset the respective employees’ LSP benefits are treated as a deemed contribution towards the employee’s LSP benefits. Based on the preliminary assessment, the financial impact to the Group is not material during the year and as at 31st December 2023. 2. Financial Risk Management Financial risk factors In the normal course of business the Group is exposed to financial risks attributable to interest rates, currencies, credit and liquidity. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented in a timely and effective manner. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. (i) Interest rate exposure The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from borrowings. Borrowings at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group earns interest income on cash deposits and some loans due from joint venture and associated companies. The Group uses interest rate swaps to manage its long-term interest rate exposure. The impact on the Group’s consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of a 100 basis-points increase or decrease in market interest rates from the rates applicable at 31st December, with all other variables held constant, would have been: 100 basis-points 100 basis-points increase in decrease in interest rates interest rates HK$M HK$M At 31st December 2023 Impact on profit or loss: (losses)/gains (83) 83 Impact on other comprehensive income: gains/(losses) 99 (102) At 31st December 2022 Impact on profit or loss: (losses)/gains (34) 34 Impact on other comprehensive income: gains/(losses) 4 (3) 148

SWIRE PROPERTIES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 2. Financial Risk Management (continued) (i) Interest rate exposure (continued) This analysis is based on a hypothetical situation, as in practice market interest rates rarely change in isolation, and should not be considered a projection of likely future profit or losses. The analysis assumes the following: – Changes in market interest rates affect the interest income or expense of floating rate financial instruments – Changes in market interest rates only affect interest income or expense in relation to fixed rate financial instruments if these are recognised at fair value – Changes in market interest rates affect the fair value of derivative financial instruments – All other financial assets and liabilities are held constant (ii) Currency exposure The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to US dollars and Chinese Renminbi. Foreign exchange risk arises from the foreign currency denomination of commercial transactions, assets and liabilities, and net investments in foreign operations. The Group is not subject to any significant foreign currency risk as the revenue, expenses and borrowings of the Group’s foreign operating subsidiaries are denominated in the functional currencies of those operations. However, the Group is exposed to insignificant foreign exchange risk on US dollar medium-term notes and the Group managed this exposure by hedging through cross-currency swap contracts entered by the Group. Exposure arising from the Group’s investments in operating subsidiaries with net assets denominated in foreign currencies is reduced, where practical, by providing funding in the same currency. Foreign currency funding and deposit exposure is monitored by the treasury department on a continuous basis. The Finance Director of the Group approve all foreign currency hedges prior to implementation. The impact on the Group’s consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of a strengthening or weakening in the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar from the year-end rate of 7.8141 (2022: 7.7974), with all other variables held constant, would have been: Strengthening in Weakening in HKD to lower HKD to upper peg limit (7.75) peg limit (7.85) HK$M HK$M At 31st December 2023 Impact on profit or loss – – Impact on other comprehensive income: gains/(losses) 2 (1) At 31st December 2022 Impact on profit or loss – – Impact on other comprehensive income – – 149

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. Financial Risk Management (continued) (ii) Currency exposure (continued) The analysis is based on a hypothetical situation, as in practice market exchange rates rarely change in isolation, and should not be considered a projection of likely future profits or losses. The analysis assumes the following: – All foreign currency cash flow hedges are highly effective – Currency risk does not arise from financial assets or liabilities denominated in the functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiary companies – Currency risk does not arise from financial instruments that are non-monetary items (iii) Credit exposure The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade and other receivables, derivative financial instruments, receivables from joint venture companies and associated companies and cash and deposits with banks and financial institutions. Risk management The exposure to these credit risks is closely monitored on a continuous basis by reference to established credit policies. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with investment grade credit ratings are accepted as counterparties. Tenants are assessed and rated based on their credit quality, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. The Group does not grant credit terms to its customers, except to corporate customers in the hotel division where commercial trade credit terms are given. The Group also holds non-interest-bearing rental deposits as security against trade debtors. In addition, the Group and the Company monitor the exposure to credit risk in respect of the financial assistance provided to subsidiaries, joint venture and associated companies through exercising control, joint control or significant influence over their financial and operating policy decisions and reviewing their financial positions on a regular basis. The Group has the following major types of assets that are subject to the expected credit loss model: – Trade receivables – Other financial assets at amortised cost Trade receivables The Group applies the HKFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for trade receivables. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not indicate different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished among the Group’s different customer segments. The expected loss rates are based on historical payment profiles. These rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information about economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Group, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due. Impairment charges on trade receivables are presented as net impairment losses within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the same line item. Other financial assets at amortised cost Other financial assets at amortised cost include other receivables and loans due from related parties. Loans due from joint venture, associated and other related companies are considered to have low credit risk as the financial positions and performances of these companies are regularly monitored and reviewed by management of the Group. 150

SWIRE PROPERTIES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 2. Financial Risk Management (continued) (iv) Liquidity exposure The Group takes liquidity risk into consideration when deciding its sources of funds and their tenors, so as to avoid over reliance on funds from any one source and to prevent substantial refinancing in any one period. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by the head office. The head office monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets and, if applicable, external regulatory or legal requirements. The tables below analyse the contractual undiscounted cash flows of the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net- settled derivative financial liabilities by relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining periods at the year-end date to the earliest contractual maturity dates.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 3. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements Estimates and judgements used in preparing the financial statements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, inevitably, seldom be equal to the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant effect on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are discussed in the relevant notes as follows: (a) Impairment of property, plant and equipment (note 15) (b) Fair value of investment properties (note 16) (c) Impairment of goodwill (note 17) 4. Revenue Accounting Policy Revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of a good or service and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain benefits from the good or service. Provided the collectability of the related receivable is probable, revenue is recognised as follows: (a) Rental income is recognised when a lease commences. According to the contractual terms, leased properties do not have alternative uses to the Group after the leasing period stipulated in the signed tenancy agreements commence. Rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the shortest of (i) the remaining lease term, (ii) the period to the next rent review date and (iii) the period from the commencement date of the lease to the first break option date (if any), exclusive of any turnover rent (if applicable) and other charges and reimbursements (if any). Where the lease includes a rent-free period, the rental income foregone is allocated evenly over the lease term. Turnover rent is recognised when the lessee’s revenue transaction is recognised. Rental income forgiven (not recognised as an expected credit loss of operating lease receivables) is treated as a lease modification, and the revised future lease income under the new lease, including any prepaid or accrued lease income relating to the original lease is subsequently recognised as income on a straight-line basis. (b) The Group develops and sells residential properties. Revenue is recognised when control over the property has been transferred to the buyers. According to the contractual terms, the properties generally do not have alternative uses to the Group after the signing of sales contracts with the buyers. However, in Hong Kong and the U.S.A., an enforceable right to payment does not arise until legal title of the property has been transferred to the buyer. Therefore, revenue is recognised upon completion of the transfer of legal title to the buyer. (c) Sale of goods are recognised when control of the goods has transferred, being when the goods are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the use of the goods, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the goods. Sales of food and beverages happen at a point in time and do not include any significant separate performance obligations. (d) Sales of services, including services provided by hotel operations and estate management, are recognised when the services are rendered. Revenue is recognised over time rather than at a point in time. The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust transaction prices for the time value of money. 152

SWIRE PROPERTIES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 4. Revenue (continued) Accounting Policy (continued) Definition of terms Contract asset: An entity’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the entity has transferred to a customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time (for example, the entity’s future performance). Contract liability: An entity’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entity has received consideration from the customer. When the Group enters into sale and purchase contracts for properties or sale contracts for services other than tenancy agreements, if the performance obligations fulfilled by the Group exceed the total payments received to date, a contract asset is recognised; if the total payments received to date exceed the performance obligation fulfilled, a contract liability is recognised. Deposits received upon signing of sale and purchase contracts, or sale contracts are recognised as contract liabilities. Contract asset and contract liability are defined in HKFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. These two terms do not apply to rental income from lease agreements, which is specifically excluded from the scope of HKFRS 15. Revenue represents sales by the Company and its subsidiary companies to external customers which comprises: 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Gross rental income from investment properties 13,408 12,226 Property trading 166 921 Hotels 979 565 Rendering of other services 117 114 14,670 13,826 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Revenue recognised in the current reporting period that was related to the contract liability balance at the beginning of the year 14 120 Of the contract liabilities of HK$5 million outstanding at 31st December 2023 (2022: HK$14 million), HK$5 million (2022: HK$14 million) is expected to be recognised as revenue within one year. The following table shows unsatisfied performance obligations resulting from contracts with customers. 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to revenue contracts that are partially or fully unsatisfied at the end of the year 46 90 Of the amount disclosed above at 31st December 2023, HK$46 million (2022: HK$90 million) is expected to be recognised as revenue within one year. 153

SWIRE PROPERTIES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 8. Segment Information The Group is organised on a divisional basis: Property investment, Property trading and Hotels. The reportable segments within each of the three divisions are classified according to the nature of the business. Accounting Policy Segment information is reported in a manner consistent with the Group’s internal financial reporting provided to the Executive Directors for making strategic decisions. A reportable segment comprises either one or more operating segments which can be aggregated together because they share similar economic characteristics or single operating segments which are discloseable separately because they cannot be aggregated or because they exceed certain quantitative thresholds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 10. Net Finance Charges Accounting Policy Interest costs incurred are charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss except for those interest charges attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets (i.e. assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale) which are recognised as part of the cost of those assets. Capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Interest income on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVPL”) is included in the net fair value gains/(losses) on these assets. Interest income on financial assets at amortised cost and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) calculated using the effective interest method is recognised on a time proportion basis in the consolidated statement of profit or loss as part of finance income. Interest income is presented as finance income where it is earned from financial assets that are held for cash management purposes. Any other interest income is included in other net gains/(losses). Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for financial assets that subsequently become credit-impaired. For credit-impaired financial assets the effective interest rate is applied to the net carrying amount of the financial asset (after deduction of the loss allowance). Refer to the table with heading “Audited Financial Information” on page 86 for details of the Group’s net finance charges. 11. Taxation Accounting Policy The tax charge comprises current and deferred tax. The tax charge is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income or directly to equity. The current tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M HK$M HK$M Current taxation Hong Kong profits tax 494 401 Overseas tax 665 590 Over-provisions in prior years (28) (5) 1,131 986 Deferred taxation (note 30) Change in fair value of investment properties 106 472 Origination and reversal of temporary differences 380 598 Effect of change in tax rate in the U.S.A. – 9 486 1,079 1,617 2,065 Hong Kong profits tax is calculated at 16.5% (2022: 16.5%) on the estimated assessable profits for the year. Overseas tax is calculated at tax rates applicable in jurisdictions in which the Group is assessable for tax. 160

SWIRE PROPERTIES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 11. Taxation (continued) The tax charge on the Group’s profit before taxation differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the Hong Kong profits tax rate of the Company as follows: 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Profit before taxation 4,368 10,292 Calculated at a tax rate of 16.5% (2022: 16.5%) 721 1,698 Share of results of joint venture and associated companies 48 (240) Effect of different tax rates in other countries 263 350 Effect of change in tax rate in the U.S.A. – 9 Fair value losses on investment properties 635 189 Income not subject to tax (123) (107) Expenses not deductible for tax purposes 79 95 Unused tax losses not recognised 28 39 Utilisation of previously unrecognised tax losses (12) (3) Recognition of previously unrecognised tax losses (27) (6) Withholding tax 33 46 Over-provisions in prior years (28) (5) Tax charge 1,617 2,065 The Group’s share of joint venture companies’ tax charges of HK$241 million (2022: HK$526 million) and share of associated companies’ tax credits of HK$149 million (2022: tax charges of HK$40 million) respectively are included in the share of results of joint venture and associated companies shown in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. 12. Profit Attributable to the Company’s Shareholders Of the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders, HK$5,763 million (2022: HK$25,282 million) is dealt with in the financial statements of the Company. 13. Dividends Accounting Policy Dividend distributions to the Company’s shareholders are recognised as a liability in the Group’s financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s shareholders or declared by the Company’s Directors, where appropriate. 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M First interim dividend paid on 12th October 2023 of HK$0.33 per share (2022: HK$0.32) 1,931 1,872 Second interim dividend declared on 14th March 2024 of HK$0.72 per share (2022: HK$0.68) 4,212 3,978 6,143 5,850 The second interim dividend is not accounted for in 2023 because it had not been declared or approved at the year-end date. The actual amount payable in respect of 2023 will be accounted for as an appropriation of the revenue reserve in the year ending 31st December 2024 when declared. 161

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 14. Earnings Per Share (Basic and Diluted) Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders of HK$2,637 million (2022: HK$7,980 million) by the daily weighted average number of 5,850,000,000 ordinary shares in issue during 2023 (2022: 5,850,000,000 ordinary shares). Diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share as there was no dilutive potential share outstanding for the years ended 31 December 2023 (2022: same). 15. Property, Plant and Equipment Accounting Policy Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. With the exception of freehold land, all other items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated at rates sufficient to write off their original costs to estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their anticipated useful lives in the following manner: Buildings 2% to 5% per annum Plant and equipment 10% to 33⼀搀% per annum The assets’ expected useful lives and residual values are regularly reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period to take into account operational experience and changing circumstances. On the transfer of owner-occupied property to investment property, increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income and shown as property revaluation reserve in shareholders’ equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income and debited against property revaluation reserve directly in equity; all other decreases are charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amounts and are recognised within other net gains/(losses) in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, the amounts included in the property revaluation reserve are transferred to revenue reserve. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements At each reporting date or whenever a change in circumstances occurs, both internal and external sources of information are considered to assess whether there is an indication that assets are impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated using fair value less costs of disposal and/or value in use calculations as appropriate. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment charge is recognised to reduce the asset to its recoverable amount. Such impairment charges are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss within other net gains/(losses). 162

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 16. Investment Properties Accounting Policy Investment property comprises freehold land, leasehold land and buildings held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or for both, and that are not occupied by the Group. Property held by the lessee as a right-of-use asset is classified and accounted for as an investment property when the rest of the definition of investment property is met. Investment properties (including those under development) are carried at fair value and are valued twice a year. The majority of investment properties are valued by independent valuers. The valuations are performed in accordance with the HKIS Valuation Standards 2020 published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and are on the basis of market value related to individual properties, and separate values are not attributed to land and buildings. These values represent their fair values in accordance with HKFRS 13. Land and buildings that are being developed for future use as investment properties and investment properties that are being redeveloped for continuing use as investment properties are measured at fair value and included as investment properties under development. Changes in fair values are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Subsequent expenditure is charged to an investment property’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with that expenditure will flow to the Group and the cost can be measured reliably. All other repair and maintenance costs in respect of an investment property are expensed in the consolidated statement of profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. If an investment property becomes owner-occupied, it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment or leasehold land under right-of-use assets, and its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its deemed cost for accounting purposes. Expenditure incurred in leasing out the Group’s investment properties during development is deferred and amortised on a straight-line basis in the consolidated statement of profit or loss upon occupation of the property over a period not exceeding the term of the leases. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements Cushman & Wakefield Limited, an independent property valuer, was engaged to carry out a valuation of the major portion of the Group’s investment property portfolio at 31st December 2023. This valuation was carried out in accordance with the HKIS Valuation Standards 2020 published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, which define market value as “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”. The assumptions are principally in respect of market rents and yields. Management has reviewed the independent property valuation and compared it with its own assumptions, with reference to comparable sales transaction data where such information is available, and has concluded that the independent property valuation of the Group’s investment property portfolio is reasonable. 164

On 17th November 2023, the Group and the Securities and Futures Commission entered into sale and purchase agreements for the sale of the Group’s interest in the 42nd to 54th floors (excluding the 49th floor) of the One Island East office tower in Hong Kong, for a total cash consideration of HK$5,400 million. Sale of the 45th to 54th floors (excluding the 49th floor) was completed in December 2023 and a loss on disposal was recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss during the year. The 42nd to 44th floors of One Island East with a total fair value of HK$1,342 million, are included in the investment properties at 31st December 2023. The sale of each of these floors will be completed in accordance with the terms specified in the sale and purchase agreements before the end of 2028. Additions include capital expenditure in response to climate change. Such expenditure is intended to reduce carbon emission and energy use, with a view to mitigating climate-related risks and to meet carbon reduction targets. For further details, refer to the Sustainable Development section on pages 127 to 135. Refer to the table with heading “Audited Financial Information” on page 86 for details of the Group’s capitalised interest rates and the amount of interest capitalised. Valuation processes and techniques underlying management’s estimate of fair value The Group’s investment properties were valued at their fair values at 31st December 2023. 96% by value were valued by Cushman & Wakefield Limited and 2% by value were valued by another independent valuer, in each case on the basis of market value. The independent professionally qualified valuers hold recognised relevant professional qualifications in the jurisdictions in which they valued the Group’s investment properties and have recent experience in the locations and types of investment properties valued. The remaining properties were valued by management. The current use of the investment properties equates to the highest and best use. The valuation of the Group’s completed investment property portfolio is derived by capitalising the rental income derived from existing tenancies with due provision for reversionary income potential and by making reference to recent comparable sales transactions available in the relevant property market. The valuation of the Group’s investment properties under development is derived by making reference to market capitalisation rates and recent comparable sales transactions in the relevant property market (on the assumption that the properties had already been completed at the valuation date). It also takes into account the construction cost already incurred and the estimated cost to be incurred to complete the project plus the developer’s estimated profit and a margin for risk. 166

SWIRE PROPERTIES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 16. Investment Properties (continued) Valuation processes and techniques underlying management’s estimate of fair value (continued) The fair values of the Group’s investment properties are sensitive to changes in both observable and unobservable inputs. If capitalisation rates increase, the fair values decrease. If market rents increase, the fair values increase. If estimated costs to complete or the developer’s estimated profit and margin for risk increase, the fair values decrease. The opposite is true for decreases in these inputs. There are inter-relationships between observable and unobservable inputs. Expected vacancy rates may have an impact on yields, with higher vacancy rates resulting in higher yields. For investment properties under development, increases in construction costs that enhance the properties’ features may result in an increase in future rental values. An increase in future rental income may be linked with higher costs. The Group reviews the valuations performed by the independent valuers for financial reporting purposes. Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between management and the independent valuers at least once every half year, in line with the Group’s half year reporting dates. Fair value hierarchy The Group’s investment properties are measured at fair value and categorised within the fair value hierarchy as follows: Completed Under Development Chinese Chinese 2023 Hong Kong Mainland U.S.A.

Level 3 – Investment properties measured at fair value using inputs not based on observable market data. The above investment properties principally comprise commercial and residential properties completed and under development in Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland. The Group has other investment property projects, principally the Brickell City Centre mall, in Miami which was completed in 2016. Because of the unique nature of the Group’s investment properties, most of them are valued by reference to a level 3 fair value measurement. 167

It is in effect the rental income (exclusive of usual outgoings) which a property would be expected to earn if it were vacant and available to let. It is not necessarily the same as the rent which a tenant is actually committed to pay. 2 In using the residual method to make fair value measurements of investment properties, two additional unobservable inputs have been used. These are the estimated costs to complete the development and the developer’s estimated profit and margin for risk. 169

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 17. Intangible Assets Accounting Policy (a) Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the Group’s share of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired asset and the equity interests issued by the Group. Goodwill is treated as an asset of the entity acquired and, where attributable to a foreign entity, is translated at the period- end closing rate. Goodwill is stated at cost less accumulated impairment. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (“CGUs”) for the purpose of impairment testing, which is performed annually, or more often if an impairment indicator exists. Impairment charges recognised in respect of goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. (b) Computer software Computer software licences acquired are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring into use the specific software. These costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives of three to five years. Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as expenses as incurred. Costs that are directly associated with the development of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group, and that will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year, are recognised as intangible assets. Direct costs include the software development employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. Computer software costs recognised as assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives of three to five years. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements The Group recognised HK$1,419 million of goodwill when it took control of Taikoo Li Chengdu (formerly known as “Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu”) in the Chinese Mainland during the year. The goodwill is mainly attributable to the growth opportunity in the Chinese Mainland. It also represents the premium paid over the market price to obtain control of the business. Goodwill is subject to impairment test at each reporting date and when there is indication that the carrying value may not be recoverable. These tests require the use of estimates to calculate recoverable amounts. The goodwill is allocated to property investment segment of Taikoo Li Chengdu in the Chinese Mainland. Management has determined the recoverable amount of this CGU by assessing the fair value less cost of disposal of the underlying assets. The valuation is considered to be level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to unobservable inputs used in the valuation. 170

Impairment test of goodwill The recoverable amount of CGU in Taikoo Li Chengdu in the Chinese Mainland is determined by using the calculation of the fair value less cost of disposal. It mainly represents the fair value of investment properties of Taikoo Li Chengdu by reference to the valuation performed by independent valuers at each reporting date, less cost of disposals estimated by management based on the Group’s experience with disposal of assets and on industry benchmarks. The results of the impairment test using these inputs show that the recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount of the CGU. The Group therefore concluded that no impairment was required to such goodwill at 31st December 2023. The main valuation inputs used were effective market rents per month ranging from approximately HK$10 to HK$200 per square feet and capitalisation rates ranging from 5.75% to 6.50% determined by an independent valuer at 31st December 2023 and the cost of disposal estimated by the Group’s management. Reasonably possible changes in the key assumptions would not result in an impairment. 171

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 18. Right-of-use Assets Accounting Policy The Group (acting as lessee) leases land, offices, warehouses and equipment. Except for certain long-term leasehold land in Hong Kong, rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 1 to 50 years but may have extension and early termination options. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. Leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes. Leases are recognised by lessees as right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities at the date at which the leased assets are available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each financial period. Assets and liabilities arising from leases are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments: – fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable; – variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date; – amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees; – the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and – payment of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term used in the computation assumes the lessee exercises an option to terminate. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following: – the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability; – any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received; – any initial direct costs; and – restoration costs. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. However, if the ownership of the underlying asset is expected to be transferred to the Group by the end of the lease term and if the cost of the right-of-use asset has already included the exercise price of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the cost over the anticipated useful life of the underlying asset to its estimated residual value. Payments by lessees associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of twelve months or less. Low-value assets comprise information technology equipment and small items of office furniture. 172

SWIRE PROPERTIES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 18. Right-of-use Assets (continued) The recognised right-of-use assets relate to the following types of assets: 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Leasehold land held for own use 2,502 2,340 Property 153 142 2,655 2,482 The Group is the registered owner or occupant of its leasehold land. Upfront payments were made to acquire these interests in land and there are no ongoing payments to be made under the terms of the land leases (so that no lease liabilities are recognised) except, government rents and rates and other payments to the relevant government authorities, which may vary from time to time. Details relating to these interests in land are as follows: Leasehold land held for own use 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Held in Hong Kong On medium-term leases (10-50 years) 338 345 On long-term leases (over 50 years) 2,065 1,995 2,403 2,340 Held in the Chinese Mainland On medium-term leases (10-50 years) 99 – 2,502 2,340 Lease arrangements for other types of assets are negotiated on an individual asset basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions including lease payments and lease terms. At 31st December 2023, right-of-use assets of HK$99 million (2022: nil) are pledged as security for secured loans and other borrowings. Properties occupied by the Group are transferred to investment properties following the end of occupation by the Group. The valuation increase from carrying amount to fair value in respect of such transfers during the year ended 31st December 2023 was HK$46 million (2022: less than HK$1 million). Additions to right-of-use assets during the year ended 31st December 2023 were HK$62 million (2022: HK$107 million). During the year ended 31st December 2023, cash outflows for leases were included in the consolidated statement of cash flows as (a) interest paid of HK$21 million (2022: HK$19 million) under “operating activities”, (b) payment for short-term and low-value assets leases of HK$31 million (2022: HK$32 million) under “operating activities” and (c) principal elements of lease payments of HK$82 million (2022: HK$66 million) under “financing activities”. 173

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 19. Properties Held for Development Accounting Policy Properties held for development comprise freehold land at cost and related costs of preliminary works, less provisions for possible losses.

Financial Instruments by Category Accounting Policy Financial Assets (a) Classification The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: – those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) or through the consolidated statement of profit or loss), and – those to be measured at amortised cost. The classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows. For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses are either recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss or the consolidated statement of OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at FVOCI. The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes. (b) Recognition and derecognition Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on their trade date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. (c) Measurement At initial recognition, except for trade debtors, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at FVPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs in respect of financial assets at FVPL are expensed in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest. – Debt instruments: Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group’s business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Group classifies its debt instruments: 176

Financial Instruments by Category (continued) Accounting Policy (continued) Financial Assets (continued) (c) Measurement (continued) (i) Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and presented in other net gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. (ii) FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses, which are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and recognised in other net gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other net gains/(losses). (iii) FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and presented net within other net gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises. – Equity instruments: The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Dividends from such investments are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss as other net gains/(losses) when the Group’s right to receive payments is established. Where the Group’s management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to the consolidated statement of profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Changes in the fair value of equity investments at FVPL are recognised in other net gains/(losses) in the consolidated statement of profit or loss as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value. (d) Impairment The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. The Group applies the simplified approach permitted by HKFRS 9 to measure expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected credit loss allowance for all trade receivables. The measurement of expected credit losses of operating lease receivable includes consideration of expectations of forgiveness of lease income recognised as part of that receivable. (e) Significant increases in credit risk In assessing whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group considers that a default event occurs when the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse to actions such as realising security. The Group considers information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available. (f) Write-off policy The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. Financial liabilities Non-derivative financial liabilities with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities are measured at amortised cost. They are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the period-end date. Put options in respect of non-controlling interests in subsidiary companies included in trade and other payables are measured at fair value through the consolidated statement of profit or loss. 177

SWIRE PROPERTIES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 22. Financial Instruments by Category (continued) The fair values of financial instruments traded in active markets are based on quoted market prices at the year-end date. The quoted market prices used for financial assets held by the Group are the current bid prices. The fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in active markets are determined by using valuation techniques such as estimated discounted cash flows or based on quotes from market makers, which use assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each year-end date. The book values of trade and other receivables and trade and other payables approximate their fair values. The fair value of current borrowings equals their carrying value, as the impact of discounting is not significant. The fair value of non- current borrowings is not equal to their carrying value but is based on cash flows discounted using assumptions sourced from the relevant financial institutions or quotes from market makers or alternative market participants supported by observable inputs, such as interest rates. Non-current borrowings would be categorised within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy if they were accounted for at fair value. Financial instruments that are measured at fair value are included in the following fair value hierarchy: Total carrying Level 2 Level 3 amount HK$M HK$M HK$M Assets as per consolidated statement of financial position At 31st December 2023 Derivatives used for hedging (note 29) 57 – 57 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss – Unlisted equity investments – 623 623 57 623 680 At 31st December 2022 Derivatives used for hedging (note 29) 96 – 96 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss – Unlisted equity investments – 460 460 96 460 556 Liabilities as per consolidated statement of financial position At 31st December 2023 Derivatives used for hedging (note 29) 22 – 22 Put option in respect of a non-controlling interest (note 26) – 613 613 22 613 635 At 31st December 2022 Put option in respect of a non-controlling interest (note 26) – 590 590 Notes: The levels in the hierarchy represent the following: Level 2 – Financial instruments measured at fair value using inputs other than quoted prices but where those inputs are based on observable market data. Level 3 – Financial instruments measured at fair value using inputs not based on observable market data. 179

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 22. Financial Instruments by Category (continued) The fair value of derivatives used for hedging in level 2 has been based on quotes from market makers or alternative market participants supported by observable inputs. The most significant observable inputs are market interest rates, exchange rates and yields. There were no transfers of financial instruments between level 2 and level 3 fair value hierarchy classifications and there were no transfers into or out of level 3 fair value hierarchy classifications. The Group’s policy is to recognise any transfer into and out of fair value hierarchy levels at the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There has been no change in the valuation techniques for level 2 and level 3 fair value hierarchy classifications. The Group’s finance department performs the valuations of financial instruments required for reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. The valuations are reviewed and approved by the Finance Director. The following table presents the changes in level 3 financial instruments for the year ended 31st December 2023: Financial assets Put option in at fair value respect of a through non-controlling profit or loss interest HK$M HK$M At 1st January 2023 460 590 Additions 163 – Distribution during the year – (30) Change in fair value recognised as net finance charges* – 53 At 31st December 2023 623 613 * Included unrealised losses recognised on balances held at 31st December 2023 – 53 At 1st January 2022 439 551 Additions 21 – Distribution during the year – (27) Change in fair value recognised as net finance charges* – 66 At 31st December 2022 460 590 * Included unrealised losses recognised on balances held at 31st December 2022 – 66 The fair value of unlisted investments classified within level 3 is predominately determined using quotes from market makers, which use assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each year-end date. The significant unobservable inputs used are yields and market prices. Changing these unobservable inputs based on reasonable alternative assumptions would not significantly change the valuation of the investments. The fair value estimate of the put option over a non-controlling interest in the U.S.A. classified within level 3 is determined using a discounted cash flow valuation technique and contains a number of unobservable inputs, including the expected fair value of the associated investment property at the expected time of exercise, the expected time of exercise itself and the discount rate used. The expected time of exercise is in 2024 and the discount rate used is 6.3% (2022: 6.3%). The investment property’s fair value at the expected time of exercise is itself subject to a number of unobservable inputs which are similar to the inputs for the Group’s other completed investment properties, including the expected fair market rent and the expected capitalisation rate. If the investment property’s expected fair value at the time of exercise is higher, the fair value of the put option would also be higher at 31st December 2023. If the expected time of exercise is later or if the discount rate is higher, the fair value of the put option would be lower. The opposite is true for an earlier time of exercise or a lower discount rate. 180

SWIRE PROPERTIES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 23. Properties for Sale Accounting Policy Properties for sale comprise freehold and leasehold land at cost, construction costs and interest costs capitalised, less provisions for possible losses. Properties under development are active construction projects which are expected to be sold within the Group’s normal operating cycle and are classified as current assets. Completed properties are available for immediate sale and are classified as current assets. 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Properties for sale Properties under development – development costs 1,586 619 – leasehold land 7,389 7,389 Completed properties – development costs 84 138 – leasehold land 62 118 9,121 8,264 Refer to the table with heading “Audited Financial Information” on page 86 for details of the Group’s capitalised interest rates and the amount of interest capitalised. 181

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 24. Trade and Other Receivables Accounting Policy Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components. Other receivables are recognised initially at fair value. Trade and other receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for loss allowance. Trade and other receivables in the consolidated statement of financial position are stated net of such provisions. 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Trade debtors 500 385 Prepayments and accrued income 116 85 Amounts due from an intermediate holding company 1 5 Other financial assets at amortised cost – 520 Other receivables 2,889 1,839 3,506 2,834 The analysis of the age of trade debtors at the year end (based on their invoice dates) is as follows: 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Up to 3 months 468 354 Between 3 and 6 months 14 15 Over 6 months 18 16 500 385 Other financial assets at amortised cost represented a deferred payment for the sale of the Group’s interest in the Cityplaza One office tower in Hong Kong in 2020. The deferred payment was recognised at amortised cost using an effective interest rate of 3% per annum. The deferred payment of HK$535 million was received during the year in accordance with the sale and purchase agreement. Other receivables include rent free and other lease incentives to tenants of HK$1,451 million (2022: HK$1,198 million), which are amortised over the relevant lease terms. There is no concentration of credit risk with respect to trade and other receivables, as the Group has a large number of customers. The Group does not grant any credit terms to its customers, except to corporate customers in the hotel division where commercial trade credit terms are given. The Group also holds non-interest-bearing rental deposits as security against trade debtors. At 31st December 2023, trade debtors of HK$154 million (2022: HK$145 million) were past due. The majority of the amount past due is under three months. These relate to a number of independent customers for whom there is no recent history of default. The other classes within trade and other receivables do not contain impaired assets. The maximum exposure to credit risk at 31st December 2023 and 31st December 2022 is the carrying value of trade debtors and other receivables disclosed above. The carrying value of rental deposits from tenants held as security against trade debtors at 31st December 2023 was HK$2,965 million (2022: HK$2,715 million). 182

SWIRE PROPERTIES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 25. Cash and Cash Equivalents Accounting Policy In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, amounts repayable on demand from banks and financial institutions and short-term highly liquid investments which were within three months of maturity when acquired, less bank overdrafts. In the consolidated statement of financial position, cash and cash equivalents exclude bank overdrafts which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Short-term deposits maturing within three months 838 307 Bank balances 4,259 4,195 5,097 4,502 The effective interest rates on short-term deposits of the Group ranged from 4.5% to 6.1% per annum (2022: 3.5% to 5.2% per annum); these deposits have maturities from 12 to 93 days (2022: 33 to 94 days). The maximum exposure to credit risk in respect of bank balances and short-term deposits at 31st December 2023 and 31st December 2022 is the carrying value of the bank balances and short-term deposits disclosed above. 26. Trade and Other Payables Accounting Policy Trade and other payables (except put options over non-controlling interests in subsidiary companies) are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Put options in respect of non-controlling interests in subsidiary companies are measured at the fair value of the expected redemption amounts, and are designated as fair value through profit or loss. 183

Apart from the interest-bearing advances from the joint venture companies, the balances are interest-free. Other payables due after one year under non-current liabilities represents deposits received for the sale of the Group’s interests in the 42nd to 44th floors of the One Island East office tower in Hong Kong during the year. The sale of each of these floors will be completed in accordance with the terms specified in the sale and purchase agreements before the end of 2028.

For the accounting policy in respect of lease liabilities, please refer to right-of-use assets (note 18). 28. Borrowings Accounting Policy Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Transaction costs incurred are included in respect of those not held at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the initiation of the borrowings, including fees and commissions paid to agents, advisers, brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost, with any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the period-end date. For disclosure purposes, the fair value of borrowings stated at amortised cost is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. Refer to the tables with the headings “Audited Financial Information” on pages 82 to 85 for details of the Group’s borrowings. 185

Losses arising from these hedging instruments of HK$50 million (2022: nil) have been recognised in other comprehensive income as an effective hedge. (a) The effective interest rates per annum (before interest rate and cross-currency swaps) at 31st December were as follows: 2023 2022 HKD RMB USD HKD USD % % % % % Long-term loans and bonds 2.4-6.6 3.0-3.9 3.5-6.3 2.3-5.7 3.5-5.2 There were no uncommitted bank loans at 31st December 2023 and 2022. Bank loans and other borrowings are repayable on various dates up to 2033 (2022: up to 2030).

SWIRE PROPERTIES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 29. Derivative Financial Instruments Accounting Policy Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the dates derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group designates certain derivatives as either: (a) hedges of highly probable forecast transactions (“cash flow hedges”); or (b) hedges of net investments in foreign operations (“net investment hedges”). The Group documents at the inception of the transactions the economic relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking hedge transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting cash flows of hedged items. The Group also documents its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. (a) Cash flow hedges that qualify for hedge accounting All of the Group’s derivatives relate to cash flow hedges. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. When cross-currency swap contracts are used to hedge future cash flow, the Group designates only the change in fair value of the swap contract after exclusion of the foreign currency basis spread component as the hedging instrument. Gains or losses relating to the effective portion of the swap contract after exclusion of the foreign currency basis spread component are recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity. The change in fair value of the foreign currency basis spread of the swap contract, to the extent it relates to the hedged item, is recognised separately as a cost of hedging on a systematic and rational basis over the period of the hedging relationship within OCI in equity. Hedge ineffectiveness is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss within finance costs. Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified in the periods when the hedged item affects the consolidated statement of profit or loss. The gains or losses relating to the effective portion of (a) the interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings and (b) cross-currency swap contracts hedging borrowings in foreign currency are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss within finance costs at the same time as the interest expense on the hedged borrowings. When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the consolidated statement of profit or loss. (b) Net investment hedges Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of a hedge is recognised in equity; the gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Gains and losses accumulated in equity are transferred to the consolidated statement of profit or loss when the foreign operation is disposed of. (c) Rebalancing of hedge relationships If the hedge ratio for risk management purpose is no longer optimal but the risk management objective remains unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by adjusting either the volume of the hedging instrument or the volume of the hedged item so that the hedge ratio aligns with the ratio used for risk management purposes. Any hedge ineffectiveness is calculated and accounted for in the consolidated statement of profit or loss at the time of the hedge relationship rebalancing. 187

Derivative Financial Instruments (continued) 2023 2022 Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities HK$M HK$M HK$M HK$M Interest rate and cross-currency swaps – cash flow hedges – due after one year 57 22 96 – The interest rate swaps hedge long-term interest rate exposures. The cross-currency swaps hedge the foreign currency risk relating to US dollar note issues. Gains and losses recognised in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income on interest rate and cross-currency swaps at 31st December 2023 are expected to affect the consolidated statement of profit or loss in the years to redemption of the notes and expiry of loans (up to and including 2028). The notional principal amounts of the outstanding derivative financial instruments are as follows: 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Cross-currency swaps 7,814 7,797 Interest rate swaps 2,950 – In most of the cases, the hedging instruments have a one-to-one hedge ratio with the hedged items. For the years ended 31st December 2023 and 31st December 2022, all cash flow hedges qualifying for hedge accounting were highly effective. 30. Deferred Taxation Accounting Policy Deferred taxation is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, if the deferred tax arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that, at the time of the recognition, has no impact on taxable or accounting profit or loss, it is not recognised. Tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the period-end date are used to determine deferred taxation. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred taxation is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiary, joint venture and associated companies, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax relating to investment properties in Hong Kong and the U.S.A. is calculated having regard to the presumption that the value of these properties is capable of being recovered entirely through sale. This presumption is rebutted in relation to investment properties in the Chinese Mainland, because the business model applicable to them is to consume substantially all the economic benefits embodied in them over time rather than through sale. Accordingly, deferred tax relating to investment properties in the Chinese Mainland is determined on the basis of recovery through use. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are netted off when the taxes relate to the same taxation authority and where offsetting is legally enforceable.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30. Deferred Taxation (continued) Deferred tax assets (continued) Deferred tax assets are recognised in respect of tax losses carried forward to the extent that realisation of the related tax benefits through future taxable profits is probable. The Group has unrecognised tax losses of HK$2,449 million (2022: HK$2,458 million) to carry forward against future taxable income. These amounts are analysed as follows: Unrecognised tax losses 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M No expiry date 1,289 1,253 Expiring within 1 year 86 89 Expiring between 1 and 5 years 315 395 Expiring between 5 and 10 years – – Expiring between 10 and 20 years 759 721 2,449 2,458 31. Assets Classified as Held for Sale Accounting Policy Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to disposal, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, financial assets and investment property that are carried at fair value. Assets classified as held for sale represent the Group’s 100% interest in investment properties comprising 384 car parking spaces at stages I to IX of the Taikoo Shing residential development in Hong Kong. 32. Retirement Benefits The Group operates a number of defined benefit and defined contribution retirement benefit schemes for its employees, the assets of which are held in separate trustee administered funds. A defined benefit scheme is a retirement plan that defines the benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The Group has an obligation to provide participating employees with these benefits. A defined contribution scheme is a retirement plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in current and prior periods. 190

SWIRE PROPERTIES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 32. Retirement Benefits (continued) Accounting Policy For defined benefit schemes, retirement benefit costs are assessed using the projected unit credit method. Under this method, the cost of providing retirement benefits is charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss so as to spread the regular cost over the service lives of employees. The asset or liability recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position is the present value of the cost of providing these benefits (the defined benefit obligation) less the fair value of the plan assets at the end of the reporting period. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries and is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates payable in respect of high quality corporate bonds. The plan assets are valued on a bid price basis. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Past-service costs are recognised immediately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Any differences between the implicit and actual return on assets are charged as remeasurements to the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income. For defined contribution schemes, the Group’s contributions are charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss in the periods to which the contributions relate. The Group’s obligations and expenses in respect of defined benefit schemes are dependent on a number of factors that are determined using a number of actuarial assumptions. The details of the actuarial assumptions used, including applicable sensitivities are disclosed in note 32(f). For the year ended 31st December 2023 and 2022, disclosures in respect of defined benefit schemes are based on valuations prepared by Mercer (Hong Kong) Limited at 31st December 2021, which were updated to reflect the position at 31st December 2023 and 2022 by Cannon Trustees Limited, the main administration manager of the Group’s defined benefit schemes. The majority of the Group’s schemes are final salary guaranteed lump sum defined benefit plans. Contributions to the defined benefit retirement schemes are made in accordance with the funding rates recommended by independent qualified actuaries to ensure that the plans will be able to meet their liabilities as they become due. The funding rates are subject to annual review and are determined by taking into consideration the difference between the market values of the plans’ assets and the present value of accrued past service liabilities, on an ongoing basis, as computed by reference to actuarial valuations. The principal schemes in Hong Kong are valued by qualified actuaries for funding purposes under the provisions of Hong Kong’s Occupational Retirement Schemes Ordinance. The latest actuarial valuations indicate that the funding level for the year was 104% (2022: 117%) of the accrued liabilities on an ongoing basis. The Group expects to make contributions of HK$87 million to its defined benefit schemes in 2024. Most new employees in Hong Kong are offered the choice of joining the defined benefit retirement schemes or the mandatory provident fund (“MPF”) scheme. Where staff elect to join the MPF scheme, both the Company and the staff are required to contribute 5% of the employees’ relevant monthly income (capped at HK$30,000). Staff may elect to contribute more than the minimum as a voluntary contribution. Employees engaged outside Hong Kong are covered by appropriate local arrangements. The amounts recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position are as follows: (a) 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Present value of funded obligations 1,200 1,018 Fair value of plan assets (1,155) (1,032) Net retirement benefit liabilities/(assets) 45 (14) Represented by: Retirement benefit assets – (14) Retirement benefit liabilities 45 – 45 (14) 191

(d) Net expenses recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss are as follows: 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Current service cost 88 114 Net interest cost (3) 3 85 117 The above net expenses were included in cost of sales and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Total retirement benefit costs charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the year ended 31st December 2023 amounted to HK$105 million (2022: HK$132 million), including HK$20 million (2022: HK$15 million) in respect of defined contribution schemes. The actual return on defined benefit plan assets was a gain of HK$119 million (2022: loss of HK$146 million). 192

SWIRE PROPERTIES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 32. Retirement Benefits (continued) (e) The plan assets are invested in the Swire Group Unitised Trust (“the Unitised Trust”). The Unitised Trust has four sub-funds in which the assets may be invested in accordance with separate and distinct investment policies and objectives. The Unitised Trust and sub-funds are overseen by an investment committee, which meets four times a year. The make-up of the Unitised Trust is the result of the asset allocation of each plan. The asset allocation of each plan targets a mix of equities, fixed income, absolute return funds and short duration bond sub-funds. The management of the assets within the sub-funds is delegated by the investment committee to a number of reputable investment managers. The plan assets comprise: Defined benefit plans 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Equities Asia Pacific 95 76 Europe 78 67 North America 270 228 Emerging markets 286 248 Bonds Global 97 86 Emerging markets 16 11 Absolute return funds 300 283 Cash 13 33 1,155 1,032 At 31st December 2023, the prices of 89% of equities and 70% of bonds were quoted on active markets (2022: 96% and 29% respectively). The remainder of the prices were not quoted on active markets. The most significant risk facing the defined benefit schemes of the Group is market risk. This risk embodies the potential for losses and gains and includes price risk, interest rate risk and currency risk as well as factors specific to an individual investment and its issuer and risk specific to a certain market. Market risk is managed principally through diversification of investments by the appointed investment managers. Investment managers enter into agreements that stipulate the performance objective of the investments, which is referenced to a recognised benchmark. The investment committee monitors the overall market risk position on a quarterly basis. 193

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 32. Retirement Benefits (continued) (f) The significant actuarial assumptions used are as follows: 2023 2022 Discount rate 4.26% 5.08% Expected rate of future salary increases 4.73% to 6.90% p.a. for 2024; 7.42% to 12.38% p.a. for 2023; 4.00% p.a. thereafter 4.00% p.a. thereafter The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligations to changes in actuarial assumptions is: 2023 2022 Increase/(Decrease) in Increase/(Decrease) in defined benefit obligation defined benefit obligation Change in Increase in Decrease in Change in Increase in Decrease in assumption assumption assumption assumption assumption assumption HK$M HK$M HK$M HK$M Discount rate 0.5% (65) 69 0.5% (59) 46 Expected rate of future salary increases 0.5% 69 (65) 0.5% 63 (60) The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligations to significant actuarial assumptions the same method has been applied as when calculating the retirement benefit liability recognised within the consolidated statement of financial position. 33.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 38. Contingencies Accounting Policy Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events and the existence of which will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events not wholly within the control of the Group. Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of an outflow of economic benefits is remote. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised as a financial liability at the time the guarantee is issued. The liability is initially measured at fair value and subsequently at the higher of: – the amount determined in accordance with the expected credit loss model under HKFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” and – the amount initially recognised less, where appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the principles of HKFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The fair value of financial guarantees is determined based on the present value of the difference in cash flows between the contractual payments required under the debt instrument and the payments that would be required without the guarantee, or the estimated amount that would be payable to a third party for assuming the obligations. Where guarantees in relation to loans or other payables of associates are provided for no compensation, the fair values are accounted for as contributions and recognised as part of the cost of the investment. 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Guarantees provided in respect of: Bank loans and other liabilities of joint venture companies 3,996 4,181 Bank guarantees given in lieu of utility deposits and others 73 73 4,069 4,254 The Group has assessed the fair value of the above guarantees and does not consider them to be material. They have therefore not been recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position. 200

SWIRE PROPERTIES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 39. Lease Commitments Accounting Policy Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Receipts by the Group as a lessor under operating leases (net of any incentives paid to lessees) are recognised as income in the consolidated statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. For commenced leases (which are not identified as low-value or short-term leases) undertaken by the Group as a lessee, right-of- use assets and the corresponding lease liabilities are recognised in the financial statements when the leased assets become available for use. Commitments in respect of leases payable by the Group as a lessee represent the future lease payments for (i) committed leases which have not yet commenced at the year-end date and (ii) short-term leases. The Group acts as both lessor and lessee under operating leases. Details of the Group’s commitments under non-cancellable operating leases are set out as follows: (a) Lessor – lease receivables The leases for investment properties typically run for periods of three to six years. The retail turnover-related rental income received from investment properties during the year amounted to HK$1,224 million (2022: HK$837 million). The future aggregate minimum lease receipts under non-cancellable operating leases were receivable by the Group at the year end as follows: 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Investment properties Within 1 year 8,753 8,100 Between 1 and 2 years 6,908 6,691 Between 2 and 3 years 5,150 4,955 Between 3 and 4 years 3,414 3,561 Between 4 and 5 years 1,997 2,317 After 5 years 2,932 3,006 29,154 28,630 Assets held for deployment on operating leases at the year end were as follows: 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Investment properties at fair value 256,786 248,114 (b) Lessee At 31st December 2023, there were no future lease payments under leases committed but not yet commenced by the Group and no short-term leases commitments which were significantly dissimilar to those relating to the portfolio of short-term leases for which expenses were recognised for the year ended 31st December 2023 (2022: none). 201

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 40. Related Party Transactions Accounting Policy Related parties of the Group are individuals and companies, including subsidiary, fellow subsidiary, joint venture and associated companies and key management of the Group or the parent of the Group (including close members of their families), where the individual or company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. There is an agreement for services (“Services Agreement”), in respect of which John Swire & Sons (H.K.) Limited (“JS&SHK”), an intermediate holding company, provides services to various companies in the Group and under which costs are reimbursed and fees payable. In return for these services, JS&SHK receives annual fees calculated as 2.5% of the Group’s relevant consolidated profit before taxation and non-controlling interests after certain adjustments. The Services Agreement were renewed on 1st October 2022 for three years expiring on 31st December 2025. For the year ended 31st December 2023, service fees payable amounted to HK$205 million (2022: HK$186 million). Expenses of HK$111 million (2022: HK$92 million) were reimbursed at cost; in addition, HK$103 million (2022: HK$80 million) in respect of shared administrative services was reimbursed. Under a tenancy framework agreement (the “Tenancy Framework Agreement”) between JS&SHK, Swire Pacific Limited and the Company dated 14th August 2014, members of the Group enter into tenancy agreements with members of the JS&SHK group and members of the Swire Pacific group from time to time on normal commercial terms based on prevailing market rentals. The Tenancy Framework Agreement was renewed on 1st October 2021 for a further term of three years expiring on 31st December 2024. For the year ended 31st December 2023, the aggregate rentals payable to the Group by members of the JS&SHK group and members of the Swire Pacific group under tenancies to which the Tenancy Framework Agreement applies amounted to HK$105 million (2022: HK$109 million) and HK$43 million (2022: HK$38 million) respectively.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 43. Business Combinations As mentioned in note 20, the Group further acquired 35% equity interests in the existing joint venture companies owning Taikoo Li Chengdu in the Chinese Mainland from Sino-Ocean Group Holding Limited and its subsidiaries and these joint venture companies became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Group on 22nd February 2023. The acquisition creates long-term value for the Group and its shareholders. Details of the purchase consideration, the net identifiable assets acquired and goodwill are as follows: Fair value HK$M Property, plant and equipment 632 Investment properties (Note) 15,291 Intangible assets 8 Right-of-use assets 105 Stocks 6 Trade and other receivables 536 Cash and cash equivalents 684 Trade and other payables (837) Taxation payable (27) Long-term loans and bonds (3,151) Lease liabilities (42) Deferred tax liabilities (2,536) Net identifiable assets acquired 10,669 Goodwill 1,419 12,088 Satisfied by: Purchase consideration settled in cash 4,383 Fair value of the equity interests previously held by the Group 7,705 12,088 Analysis of the net outflow of cash and cash equivalents for acquisition: Purchase consideration settled in cash 4,383 Less: Cash and cash equivalents acquired (684) Net cash outflow on acquisition 3,699 Note: The amounts include investment properties acquired of HK$15,230 million and initial leasing costs acquired of HK$61 million. The fair value of the acquired trade and other receivables was HK$536 million by which included trade receivables with a fair value of HK$65 million. None of these are expected to be uncollectible. The goodwill is mainly attributable to the growth opportunity. These benefits do not qualify for separate recognition of intangible assets and are not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The gain arising from remeasuring the fair value of the existing equity interests in Taikoo Li Chengdu held by the Group before the acquisition amounted to HK$551 million. It is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss within other net gains/(losses). Acquisition-related costs of HK$11 million have been recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. The acquired business contributed revenue of HK$1,256 million and a profit of HK$960 million to the Group for the period from the date of completion of its acquisition (22nd February 2023) to 31st December 2023. If the acquisition had occurred on 1st January 2023, the acquired business would have contributed pro-forma revenue of HK$1,494 million and earned a profit of HK$1,073 million for the year ended 31st December 2023. These amounts have been calculated using the results of the acquired business and adjusting them for the additional depreciation and amortisation that would have been charged assuming fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets had applied from 1st January 2023, together with the consequential tax effects. 204

ACCOUNTING POLICIES Apart from the material accounting policies presented within the corresponding notes to the financial statements, the other material accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below: 1. Basis of Preparation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The consolidated financial statements include “Audited Financial Information” in the Financing section on pages 81 to 89. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified in relation to the revaluation of investment properties, put options in respect of non-controlling interests, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and other comprehensive income, defined benefits assets/liabilities and derivative financial instruments, each of which are carried at fair value. 2. Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Swire Properties Limited, its subsidiary companies (together referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interests in joint venture and associated companies. The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary company is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are generally expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired subsidiary either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquired subsidiary’s net assets. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired subsidiary and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired subsidiary over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the acquired subsidiary, the difference is recognised directly in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiary companies have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity owners of the Group. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary company is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests where control is not lost are also recorded in equity. When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associated company, joint venture company or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income are reclassified to the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Where the Group enters into a contract that contains an obligation (for example a written put option exercisable by the contract counterparty) to acquire shares in a partly-owned subsidiary company from the owner of the non-controlling interest, which is not part of a business combination, the Group records a financial liability in respect of the present value of the redemption amount with a corresponding charge directly to equity. Changes to the value of the financial liability are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss within net finance charges. 205

ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2. Basis of Consolidation (continued) In the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position, its interests in joint venture and associated companies are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognised at cost. The excess of the cost of investment in joint venture and associated companies over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired at the date of acquisition represents goodwill. The Group’s interests in joint venture and associated companies include goodwill identified on acquisitions, net of any accumulated impairment loss. The Group’s share of its joint venture and associated companies’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture or associated company, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture or associated company. The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that its interests in joint venture and associated companies are impaired. Such objective evidence includes whether there has been any significant adverse changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment in which the joint venture and associated companies operate or whether there has been a significant or prolonged decline in value below their cost. If there is an indication that an interest in a joint venture or associated company is impaired, the Group assesses whether the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the amount by which the carrying amount is higher than the higher of the investment’s fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use. Any reversal of such impairment loss in subsequent periods is credited to the consolidated statement of profit or loss. The Group recognises the disposal of an interest in a joint venture company when it ceases to have joint control and the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the acquirer. If the ownership interest in an associated company is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income are reclassified to the consolidated statement of profit or loss where appropriate. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint venture and associated companies are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in these companies. Unrealised losses on assets transferred between the Group and its joint venture and associated companies are also eliminated unless the transactions provide evidence of impairment of the assets transferred. Accounting policies of joint venture and associated companies have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Dilution gains and losses arising in respect of investments in associated companies are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. 3. Subsidiary Companies Subsidiary companies are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiary companies are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. Investments in subsidiary companies in the Company’s standalone financial statements are stated at cost less provision for any impairment losses. Income from subsidiary companies is accounted for on the basis of dividends received and receivable. Long-term loans to subsidiary companies are considered to be quasi-equity in nature where there is no defined repayment terms and no expectation of repayment. 4. Joint Venture and Associated Companies In the Company’s statement of financial position, its investments in joint venture and associated companies are stated at cost less provision for any impairment losses. Income from joint venture and associated companies is recognised by the Company on the basis of dividends received and receivable. Long-term loans to joint venture and associated companies are subject to expected credit losses assessment. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. 206

SWIRE PROPERTIES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 5. Foreign Currency Translation (a) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. (b) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, except when deferred in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges or qualifying net investment hedges. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised directly in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income, any associated translation difference is also recognised directly in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, any associated translation difference is also recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. (c) Group companies The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: (i) Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position; (ii) Income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and (iii) All resulting exchange differences are recognised in the statement of other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component in equity. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are reclassified in the consolidated statement of profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. 6. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. 207
