[ET Net News Agency, 16 March 2018] CK Hutchison Holdings (00001) said its profit
attributable to ordinary shareholders for the year ended 31 December 2017 rose 6.3%
year-on-year to HK$35,100 million, reflecting EBITDA and EBIT improvements but partly
offset by higher financing costs from the Group's share of interest expense and one-time
major refinancing costs in the Wind Tre joint venture, as well as interest expense
associated with the new acquisitions in the Infrastructure division.
Earnings per share amounted to HK$9.1.
Total revenue was HK$414,837 million, an increase of 8.5% from a year earlier.
EBITDA and EBIT of the Group increased by 10% and 7% against last year to HK$104,354
million and HK$67,592 million.
The proposed final dividend is HK$2.07 (2016: HK$1.945) per share, payable on 31 May.
