Underlying EPS was HK$7.54 and reported EPS HK$6.65. The Board proposed a final dividend of HK$2.80, giving a full-year dividend of HK$3.75 per share. The group improved its balance sheet: net debt fell to HK$93.3 billion, net gearing improved to 15.1% (from 17.8% at end‑2024), interest coverage rose to ~6x, and Moody’s upgraded the outlook to Stable (A1 affirmed). Development profit rose (notably from Mainland projects), while rental income decreased slightly (HK and Mainland rental portfolios down low-single digits). Mainland recognized property sales jumped significantly (c.214% YoY) and the group has sizable Mainland and Hong Kong landbanks (c.65.3m and 57.4m attributable sq ft GFA respectively). Key operational priorities: maintain prudent financial discipline, expand recurring income (new major projects: IGC/West Kowloon/Artist Square Towers, Shanghai 3 ITC completion later this year), pursue asset turnover in development with targeted launches across Hong Kong and Mainland, and refine retail/office tenant mixes to capture flight-to-quality trends. Management reiterated readiness to invest when attractive opportunities arise, continued focus on execution of large integrated projects (West Kowloon hub, Shanghai ITC), and ongoing ESG initiatives and exploration of AI to improve market insight and operations.
