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

SWIRE PROPERTIES ANNUAL REPORT 2023 Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss (continued) 2023 2022 HK$M HK$M Reference Gross Profit 10,386 9,523 Gross profit increased by HK$863 million. 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.
