In 2017, the Group maintained a sustained growth momentum whereby it attained a steady development and encouraging growth in all of its business segments. For the financial year ended 31 December 2017, the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company increased significantly by 86.3% to approximately HK$869.2 million. (2016: HK$466.6 million). The increase was mainly due to the Group’s gain on bargain purchase of a newly acquired subsidiary and its recognition of sales of completed properties; and an increase in gain from short-term securities investment; and an increase in dividend income. Over the past few years, guided by the principle of “creating long-term value growth for our shareholders” and keeping abreast of the trends of the PRC’s economic restructuring and increase in consumer spending, we have been undergoing strategic transformation, adjusting business structure as well as speeding up the investment in high growth and high value-added business segments.
Looking ahead, the Group is confident about the future business development prospects. The Group will continue to keep abreast of the PRC economic development and actively plan the strategy to grasp the investment opportunities brought about by the economic transformation and upgrade, to strengthen the Group’s future development. The Group will continue to look for suitable investment opportunities in the areas of financial services, high-end manufacturing, environmental protection and energy conservation, new energy and innovative technology industries as well as property investment and development, strengthen strategic partnerships with domestic and foreign partners to grasp the strategic opportunities of the “One Belt and One Road Initiative”, establish a broader business comprising domestic and overseas operations, actively respond to challenges and enhance profitability.
