2016 Outlook

• Hong Kong advertising market still weak. Segment profit under Hong Kong TV Broadcasting will continue to deteriorate. But, the Board believes that the market should resume normal growth in 2017 after a period of consolidation.

• Rio 2016 Olympic Games : possible under-recovery of costs in the region of HK$150m.

• myTV SUPER: Start-up deficit for the first year : HK$100m. However, the Board is confident on the prospects of this new business based on current cooperation with our business partners, Hutchison Telecommunications and Hong Kong Broadband. By November 2017, the subscribed number of screens through boxes and mobile apps will exceed 1,400,000.

• Disposal of remaining 47% in Liann Yee completed in March 2016. Proceeds approx. HK$1,017m received. No special dividend proposed. But, a steady dividend policy is maintained for foreseeable future.
