Integrated

“When the architect of the Waterfront Integrated Resort Cecil Balmond first visited the site, he visualised a property that represented the vigour of John Keells Holdings and the spirit of a new Sri Lanka. His first impression, on the left, transformed over the next few months into an iconic structure that stands majestic against the Colombo skyline, as shown in the artist’s impressions above.”

“For a growing major city and its main builiding project, an icon has to stamp a contemporary mark that projects to the future. The strong backdrop and cantilever forms of the Waterfront Integrated Resort provide that dynamic and powerful ambition, that JKH and Sri Lanka subscribe to.”

Chairman’s Message Financial Information

Chairman’s Message

Dear Stakeholder,

The Group profit before tax (PBT) at Rs.5.42 billion in the third quarter of the financial year 2014/15 is an increase of 27 per cent over the corresponding Rs.4.27 billion recorded in the previous financial year. The PBT for the first nine months of the financial year 2014/15 at Rs.12.16 billion is an increase of 33 per cent over the Rs.9.11 billion recorded in the corresponding period of the last financial year.

The profit attributable to equity holders for the third quarter at Rs.4.33 billion reflects an increase of 28 per cent over the corresponding Rs.3.39 billion in the previous year, while the performance for the first nine months at Rs.9.13 billion reflects an increase of 30 per cent over the corresponding Rs.7.04 billion recorded in the last financial year.

The revenue at Rs.25.47 billion in the third quarter of the financial year 2014/15 is an increase of 9 per cent over the corresponding Rs.23.47 billion recorded in the previous financial year. The revenue for the first nine months of the financial year 2014/15 at Rs.68.92 billion is an increase of 7 per cent over the Rs.64.21 billion recorded in the corresponding period of the last financial year.

The Company PBT for the third quarter of the financial year 2014/15 at Rs.2.33 billion is an increase of 8 per cent over the corresponding Rs.2.17 billion recorded in the previous financial year, while the PBT for the first nine months of the financial year at Rs.6.39 billion is an increase of 38 per cent over the corresponding Rs.4.62 billion recorded in the financial year 2013/14.

Transportation The Transportation industry group PBT of Rs.727 million in the third quarter of 2014/15 is an increase of 35 per cent over the third quarter of the previous financial year [2013/14 Q3: Rs.538 million]. The increase in profitability is mainly attributable to the performance of South Asia Gateway Terminals, where overall volumes and domestic throughput recorded an increase over the corresponding period of the last financial year. The contraction in margins arising out of an increasingly competitive operating environment negatively impacted the performance of the Bunkering business. The performance of the Logistics business was in line with expectations as the growth in the active customer base resulted in an increase in both profitability and market share.

Leisure The Leisure industry group PBT of Rs.1.40 billion in the third quarter of 2014/15 is a decrease of 9 per cent over the third quarter of the previous financial year [2013/14 Q3: Rs.1.54 billion]. Sri Lanka recorded a total of 1.53 million tourist arrivals for the calendar year 2014, representing a year-on-year growth of 19.8 per cent. However, the economic volatility in Russia and the continuing unrest in Ukraine had a significant negative impact on the occupancies of both the Maldivian and Sri Lankan Resorts in the peak booking periods of November and December. The performance of the Sri Lankan Resorts was further impacted by the timing of the Presidential Election which was held in January 2015. During the quarter under review, a Property Management System aimed at enhancing the overall guest experience under the “Cinnamon” brand was introduced across the City Hotel

sector and will be rolled out across the Sri Lankan and Maldivian Resort properties in the months to follow. We remain positive that such initiatives will expand and strengthen our brand presence and help differentiate in a market which now has a variety of product offerings. The Sri Lankan Resorts sector, notwithstanding the above, recorded an increase in profitability, aided by the growth in tourist arrivals from key external markets such as China, United Kingdom and the Middle East, as well as a healthy contribution from the local tourist segment. Successful yield management and efficiency improvements further enhanced the sector bottom-line. In the calendar year 2014, tourist arrivals from China to Sri Lanka recorded a significant growth of 136 per cent (from 54,288 to 128,166) over the previous year. This growth momentum will be further augmented throughout 2015 by the improved connectivity following the introduction of direct flights by Air China and continuation of the weekly charter, in collaboration with our Destination Management business.

PropertyThe Property industry group PBT of Rs.376 million in the third quarter of 2014/15 is an increase of 8 per cent over the third quarter of the previous financial year [2013/14 Q3: Rs.347 million]. The growth in PBT is mainly on account of higher revenue recognition at the “OnThree20” residential development project which reached completion. The handing over of apartments commenced in the quarter under review. The “7th Sense” on Gregory’s Road residential development is on schedule for completion by mid-2015.

The Honourable Prime Minister announced in Parliament yesterday that the agreements entered into with Waterfront Properties (Private) Limited under the Strategic Development Projects Act will be amended to restrict the ability to rent space for gaming activities. Your Company will engage with the Government in this regard. Whilst the proposed amendment will constrain the ability to command premium rentals on this component of the project, the multi-faceted nature of this development gives your Board the confidence that the project will still be viable given its diverse portfolio of revenue streams and iconic design which, we believe, will transform the landscape of Colombo. As such, the project will continue as planned. The overall brand architecture for the “Waterfront Project” has now been finalised with the project being branded as “Cinnamon Life” and demand for both the residential and commercial spaces continues to remain encouraging.

Consumer Foods and RetailThe Consumer Foods and Retail industry group PBT of Rs.583 million in the third quarter of 2014/15 is an increase of 156 per cent over the third quarter of the previous financial year [2013/14 Q3: Rs.228 million], with both sectors contributing to the improved performance. This is a reflection of the strategies implemented during the past several months which have yielded the desired results in terms of gains in market share in the targeted market segments and enhanced operational efficiencies. Ceylon Cold Stores witnessed an increase in profitability, aided by its evolving product mix amidst improving consumer sentiment and changing consumption patterns. This performance is despite the adverse weather conditions which resulted in severe floods in many areas of the country during the quarter under review, which curtailed volume growth in both the Frozen Confectionery and Beverage businesses of the Group. Keells Food Products recorded a

Chairman’s Message

significant increase in both volumes and profitability compared to the corresponding period of the last financial year. The Retail sector continued its strong performance with an increase in both footfall and average basket values contributing positively towards a year-on-year growth in same store sales for the period under review.

Financial ServicesThe Financial Services industry group PBT of Rs.1.10 billion in the third quarter of 2014/15 is an increase of 8 per cent over the third quarter of the previous financial year [2013/14 Q3: Rs.1.01 billion]. Union Assurance was the primary contributor to the improved performance. The segregation of the Life and General businesses was concluded on 1 January 2015 subsequent to obtaining the requisite approval from shareholders and in line with regulatory guidelines. The segregation of the insurance businesses was followed by the successful sale of a 78 per cent stake of the General Insurance business to Fairfax Asia Limited. This was completed on 2 January 2015. During the quarter under review, Nations Trust Bank benefitted from the encouraging growth in credit volumes and the continued emphasis placed on cost management. The performance of the Stock Broking arm of the Group was in line with expectations as profitability increased on the back of improved market activity.

Information Technology The Information Technology industry group PBT of Rs.120 million in the third quarter of 2014/15 is an increase of 38 per cent over the third quarter of the previous financial year [2013/14 Q3: Rs.87 million]. The Office Automation business witnessed an increase in profitability due to its evolving sales mix and better working capital management. The Business Process Outsourcing operations of the Group was positively impacted by the growth witnessed across a few large clients, coupled with added focus on operational cost management.

Other, Including Plantation ServicesOther, Including Plantation Services and the Corporate Centre recorded a PBT of Rs.1.11 billion in the third quarter of 2014/15, this being an increase of 116 per cent over the third quarter of the previous financial year [2013/14 Q3: Rs.517 million]. The increased PBT was mainly a result of the capital gain of Rs.593 million on the divestment of the Group’s stake in Access Engineering PLC held under John Keells Capital. Political unrest and economic volatility witnessed across some of the key markets for Sri Lanka’s tea exports, combined with adverse weather conditions and declining oil prices, negatively impacted the profitability of the Plantations Services sector.

Sustainability InitiativesThe Group recorded a marginal increase of an estimated 2 per cent in its carbon footprint to 18,887 MT this quarter, compared to 18,589 MT recorded in the corresponding period of the last financial year. However, the Group’s carbon footprint per million rupees of revenue reduced by 6 per cent to 0.74 MT this quarter. The quarter also saw a reduction of water withdrawn by approximately 1 per cent to 437,952 cubic meters, despite the inclusion of Cinnamon Red to the sustainability reporting scope. The water withdrawn per million rupees of revenue reduced by 9 per cent to 17.2 cubic meters. Waste generated

by the Group increased by approximately 1 per cent to 2,018 MT. The Group provided approximately 6.6 hours of training per employee. In addition, occupational injuries reduced to 46 incidences, compared to 56 in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

Corporate Social Responsibility Following are some of the highlights of the John Keells Foundation’s work during the quarter under review.

• The foundation level programme under the John Keells English Language Scholarship Programme commenced with over 1,200 students registered in 18 Districts.

• Under the Neighbourhood Schools Development Project, the 6-month vocational training programme conducted at our city hotels and supermarkets was completed.

• “The Final Step” University Soft Skills initiative was conducted at the Wayamba University and was successfully concluded with an average of 450 students of multiple faculties attending the workshops.

• A total of 2,731 persons were educated under the John Keells HIV and AIDS Awareness Campaign and a week long campaign to mark World AIDS Day with Group-wide participation was undertaken.

• The John Keells Vision Project conducted 6 eye camps across the country, and completed a total of 361 cataract operations.

• “Project WAVE” (Working Against Violence through Education), which is aimed at combatting gender based violence and child abuse was officially launched. A total of 523 Group staff was educated under this project.

• The pilot collaboration between John Keells Foundation, Cinnamon Hotels and CARE International aimed at providing hospitality related skills and training to disadvantaged youth in the Southern, North Central and Eastern Provinces was launched.

• Participated in a flood relief initiative benefitting approximately 8,000 families housed at welfare camps in Puttalam, Polonnaruwa, Batticaloa, Anuradhapura and Trincomalee, with packing and distribution operations supported by the Group’s CSR volunteers.

1 Corporate information John Keells Holdings PLC. is a public limited company incorporated and domiciled in Sri Lanka and

listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange. Ordinary shares of the company are listed on the Colombo Stock

Exchange and Global Depository Receipts (GDRs) are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

2 Interim condensed financial statements The financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2014, includes “the Company” referring to

John Keells Holdings PLC., as the holding company and “the Group” referring to the companies whose

accounts have been consolidated therein.

3 Approval of fianancial statements The interim condensed financial statements of the Group and the Company for the 9 months ended 31

December 2014 were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 30 January 2015.

4 Basis of preparation The interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Sri Lanka Accounting

Standard LKAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. These interim condensed financial statements should be

read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2014.

The interim condensed financial statements are presented in Sri Lankan Rupees (LKR) and all values are

rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

5 Changes in accounting policies SLFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

SLFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose entities.

SLFRS 10 replaces the parts of previously existing LKAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial

Statements that dealt with consolidated financial statements and SIC-12 Consolidation – Special Purpose

Entities. SLFRS 10 changes the definition of control such that an investor controls an investee, has exposure

or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns

through its power over the investee. To meet the definition of control in SLFRS 10, all three criteria must

be met, including:

(a) an investor has power over an investee;

(b) the investor has exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

(c) the investor has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.

SLFRS 10 has had no impact on the consolidation of investments held by the Group.



SLFRS 11 Joint Arrangements

SLFRS 11 replaces LKAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and SIC-13 Jointly-controlled Entities — Non-

monetary Contributions by Venturers. SLFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled

entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet the definition of a joint venture

under SLFRS 11 must be accounted for using the equity method.

The application of this new standard impacted the financial position of the Group by replacing proportionate

consolidation of the joint ventures with the equity method of accounting.

SLFRS 11 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. The effect of SLFRS 11 is

described in more detail in Note 7, which includes quantification of the effect on the financial statements.

SLFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

SLFRS 12 sets out the requirements for disclosures relating to an entity’s interests in subsidiaries, joint

arrangements, associates and structured entities. None of these disclosure requirements are applicable

for interim condensed consolidated financial statements, unless significant events and transactions in the

interim period requires that they are disclosed. Accordingly, the Group has not made such disclosures.

SLFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

SLFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under SLFRS for all fair value measurements.

SLFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how

to measure fair value under SLFRS when fair value is required or permitted. The application of SLFRS 13

has not materially impacted the fair value measurements carried out by the Group.

6 Operating Segments For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their products and services

and has seven reportable operating segments as follows:

Transportation

Leisure

Property

Consumer Foods & Retail

Financial Services

Information Technology

Others



7 Share of results of equity accounted investees Interests in joint ventures (transition to SLFRS 11)

Under LKAS 31 Investment in Joint Ventures (prior to the transition to SLFRS 11), the Group’s interest

was classified as a jointly controlled entity and the Group’s share of the assets, liabilities, revenue, income

and expenses were proportionately consolidated in the financial statements. These jointly controlled entities

were namely NDO Lanka (Pvt) Ltd (60%), Information Systems Associates (49%) and Sentinel Reality (Pvt)

Ltd (40.16%). Upon adoption of SLFRS 11, the Group has consolidated its interests in these entities using

the equity method as required and accordingly the comparatives have been restated. The effect of applying

SLFRS 11 for the comparative period is as follows:

Impact on the income statement For the nine months ended 31st December 2013 In LKR ‘000s Total

Decrease in the reported revenue (rendering of services) (432,972) Decrease in the cost of sales 286,807 Decrease in gross profit (146,165) Decrease in other operating income 65 Decrease in distribution expenses 60,473 Decrease in administrative expenses 44,552 Decrease in other operating expenses 982 Decrease in results from operating activities (40,093) Decrease in finance cost 5,209 Decrease in finance income (671) Decrease in net finance income 4,538 Increase in share of results of equity accounted investees 35,555 Net impact on profit before tax -

There is no material impact on the interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows or the basic and diluted EPS.

8 Change in insurance contract liabilities The results of Union Assurance PLC’s life business segment is consolidated line by line into the Group’s

consolidated income statement. The change in life insurance contract liabilities represents the transfer to the Life Fund, the difference between all income and expenditure attributable to life policy holders during

the period.
