Hopewell Highway Infrastructure (00737) said its profit attributable to owners for the six months ended 31 December 2014 dropped 15.9% year-on-year to Rmb261 million.
Its basic and diluted earnings per share were Rmb8.48 cents.
Net toll revenue amounted to Rmb988 million, a decrease of 2.3% from a year earlier. The decline was mainly attributed to the drop of the GS Superhighway's toll revenue after the full opening of the Coastal Expressway on 28 December 2013 and the temporary traffic diversion due to the closure of Guangzhou Northern Ring Road for maintenance. However, the decline had been partly offset by the continuous growth in the toll revenue of the Western Delta Route.
The proposed interim dividend is Rmb8.4 cents (2013: Rmb9.8 cents) per share, payable on 17 February.
