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

------------ ------------ ----------
Astra
Astra contributed US$543 million to JC&C's underlying
profit, 17% higher than the same period last year. Excluding the
unrealised amounts arising from the revaluation of its equity
investments, Astra reported a net profit equivalent to US$1.2
billion under Indonesian accounting standards, with stronger
performances from most of its businesses, particularly its
automotive, financial services, heavy equipment and mining
contracting operations.
Automotive
Net income increased by 33% to US$379 million, reflecting higher
sales volumes .
-- The wholesale car market increased by 7% to 506,000 units in
the first half. Astra's car sales were 7% higher at 278,000 units,
with its market share marginally higher at 55%.
-- The wholesale market for motorcycles increased by 43% to 3.2
million units in the first half. Astra Honda motorcycle sales were
56% higher at 2.6 million units, as the low base in the previous
year was affected by production constraints caused by semiconductor
supply issues. Correspondingly, Astra Honda's market share
increased from 73% to 80%.
-- Components business, Astra Otoparts, reported an 85% increase
in net profit to US$53 million, mainly due to higher revenue from
the original equipment manufacturer segment.
Financial Services
Net income increased by 32% to US$255 million due to higher
contributions from Astra's consumer finance businesses.
-- Consumer finance businesses saw a 27% increase in the amounts
financed to US$4.0 billion. The net income contribution from the
car-focused finance companies increased by 36% to US$75 million,
and the contribution from the motorcycle-focused financing business
increased by 30% to US$135 million, mainly due to larger loan
portfolios and lower loan loss provisions.
-- General insurance company, Asuransi Astra Buana, reported a
9% increase in net income to US$46 million due to higher
underwriting income.
Heavy Equipment, Mining, Construction and Energy
Net income increased by 11% to US$459 million, mainly due to
improved profits from heavy equipment sales and mining contracting
which continued to benefit from elevated coal prices.
-- Komatsu heavy equipment sales increased by 9% to 3,100 units,
while its parts and service business revenue was also higher.
-- Mining contracting operations reported an 18% increase in
coal production at 59 million tonnes and a 20% increase in
overburden removal volume at 524 million bank cubic metres.
-- Coal mining subsidiaries reported an 11% increase in coal
sales to 6.4 million tonnes, including 1.3 million tonnes of
metallurgical coal.
-- Agincourt Resources saw 24% lower gold sales at 110,000 oz.
-- General contractor, Acset Indonusa, reported a lower net loss
of US$4 million compared to a net loss of US$8 million in the same
period last year.
Agribusiness
Net income decreased by 55% to US$19 million, mainly due to
lower crude palm oil prices, partly cushioned by higher sales.
Infrastructure and Logistics
Astra's infrastructure and logistics division reported a 42%
increase in net profit to US$33 million, mainly due to improved
traffic volumes in its toll road businesses. Astra has 396km of
operational toll roads along the Trans-Java network and in the
Jakarta Outer Ring Road .
THACO
THACO contributed a US$15 million profit, 72% lower compared to
the same period last year. THACO's automotive profits were
significantly reduced, as Vietnam's automotive market overall was
impacted by weaker economic and consumer sentiments, and greater
competitive pressure.
Direct Motor Interests
The Group's Direct Motor Interests contributed US$35 million
profit, 22% up compared to the same period last year.
-- C ycle & Carriage Singapore's contribution was flat
against the same period last year, mainly due to lower car sales
volumes amidst a tightened COE cycle, partly offset by higher
aftersales throughput volumes. Despite new car sales volumes were
13% down, overall market share increased from 19% to 20%.
-- In Indonesia, Tunas Ridean contributed US$19 million, 30%
higher than the same period last year, supported by improved
operating volumes across i ts automotive, financial services and
leasing businesses.
-- Cycle & Carriage Bintang in Malaysia contributed a profit
of US$6 million, 91% higher than the same period last year. New car
sales volumes were 21% up at strong margins, supported by the
government sales tax exemption, which expired in March.
Other Strategic Interests
The Group's Other Strategic Interests contributed a US$29
million profit, 15% down compared to the same period last year.
-- The contribution from Siam City Cement was US$9 million, 41%
lower than the previous year, as it continued to be adversely
impacted by high energy costs.
-- Based on its first-quarter results, REE's contribution of
US$11 million was 16% higher than the previous year, mainly due to
higher earnings from its water treatment and distribution
businesses, and an increase in JC&C's shareholding.
-- The Group's investment in Vinamilk produced a dividend income
of US$9 million, similar to the previous year, with the business
reporting an 8% decrease in net profit, mainly due to high raw
material costs.
Corporate Costs
Corporate costs were US$38 million compared to US$57 million in
the same period last year, as foreign exchange losses from the
translation of foreign currency loans decreased from US$35 million
to US$7 million. This foreign exchange impact was, however, offset
by a US$11 million increase in net financing charges.
Dividend
The Board has declared an interim one-tier tax-exempt dividend
of USc28 per share (2022: USc28 per share) for the half-year ended
30th June 2023.
Outlook
While economic uncertainties remain, the Group expects progress
to continue into the second half of the year .

Notes to the financial statements for the six months ended
30th June 2023
------------------------------------------------------------
1 Basis of preparation
The condensed interim financial statements for the six months
ended 30th June 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting. The condensed interim financial
statements do not include all the information required for a
complete set of financial statements. However, selected explanatory
notes are included to explain events and transactions that are
significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's
financial position and performance of the Group since the last
annual financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2022.
There have been no changes to the accounting policies described in
the 2022 audited accounts which have been prepared in accordance
with Singapore Financial Reporting Standards (International)
("SFRS(I)") and International Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS"), except for the adoption of new and amended standards as
set out below. The Group has not early adopted any other standard
or amendments that have been issued but not yet effective.
The exchange rates used for translating assets and liabilities
at the balance sheet date are US$1=S$ 1.3553 (2022: US$1=S$ 1.3445
), US$1=RM 4.6797 (2022: US$1=RM 4.4125 ), US$1=IDR 15,000 (2022:
US$1=IDR 15,731 ), US$1=VND 23,572 (2022: US$1=VND 23,627 ) and
US$1=THB 35.655 (2022: US$1= THB 34.560 ).
The exchange rates used for translating the results for the
period are US$1=S$ 1.3385 (2022: US$1=S$ 1.3687 ), US$1=RM 4.481
(2022: US$1=RM 4.2868 ), US$1=IDR 15,006 (2022: US$1=IDR 14,495 ),
US$1=VND 23,545 (2022: US$1=VND22,958) and US$1=THB 34.419 (2022:
US$1=THB 33.856 ).
Interpretations and amendments to published standard effective
in 2023
A number of new standards and amendments were effective from 1st
January 2023. The more important standards and amendments
applicable to the Group are as follows:
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (effective from 1st January
2023)
The standard covers recognition, measurement, presentation and
disclosure for insurance contracts and is applicable to the Group's
insurance businesses in Indonesia. Under IFRS 17, all profits are
recognised in the profit and loss over the life of the contracts as
insurance services are provided. Prior to 2023, for certain
insurance contracts, profits were recognised in the profit and loss
on initial recognition of the contracts. The different timing of
profit recognition will result in an increase in liabilities upon
adoption of IFRS 17. A portion of profits, previously recognised
and accumulated in equity, prior to 2023, will now be recorded as
liability under IFRS 17.
Amendments to IAS 12-Deferred Tax related to Assets and
Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (effective from 1st
January 2023)
The amendment requires deferred tax to be recognised on
transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal
amounts of taxable and deductible temporary differences. They
typically apply to transactions such as leases of lessees and
decommissioning obligations and require the recognition of
additional deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Amendments to IAS 12-International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model
Rules (effective for annual reporting period commencing on or after
1st January 2023)
The amendment provides a temporary mandatory exception from
deferred tax accounting in respect of Pillar Two income taxes and
certain additional disclosure requirements.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the condensed interim financial statements
require management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results
may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial
statements, the significant judgements made by management in
applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of
estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31st December
2022.

Fair value estimation
a) Financial instruments that are measured at fair value
For financial instruments that are measured at fair value in the
balance sheet, the corresponding fair value measurements are
disclosed by level of the following fair value measurement
hierarchy:
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities ("quoted prices in active markets")
The fair values of listed securities and bonds are based on
quoted prices in active markets at the balance sheet date. The
quoted market price used for listed investments held by the Group
is the current bid price.
Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly ("observable current market transactions")
The fair values of derivative financial instruments are
determined using rates quoted by the Group's bankers at the balance
sheet date. The rates for interest rate swaps and caps,
cross-currency swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts are
calculated by reference to the market interest rates and foreign
exchange rates.
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on
observable market data ("unobservable inputs")
The fair values of other unlisted equity investments are
determined using valuation techniques by reference to observable
current market transactions or the market prices of the underlying
investments with certain degree of entity-specific estimates or
discounted cash flows by projecting the cash inflows from these
investments.
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the
year.
The table below analyses the Group's financial instruments
carried at fair value, by the levels in the fair value measurement
hierarchy.

b) Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value
The fair values of current debtors, bank balances and other
liquid funds, current creditors, current borrowings and current
lease liabilities of the Group and the Company are assumed to
approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term maturities
of these assets and liabilities.
The fair values of long-term borrowings disclosed are based on
market prices or are estimated using the expected future payments
discounted at market interest rates. The fair values of non-current
lease liabilities are estimated using the expected future payments
discounted at market interest rates.
