CLP Holdings Limited (CLP) is pleased to announce that in the first half of 2017 the Group continued to deliver largely stable earnings amid challenging markets and secured regulatory certainty in Hong Kong.
During this period, the Group's operating earnings were HK$5,914 million, a decrease of 3.8% compared with the first half of 2016, largely due to unfavourable market conditions in Mainland China and the impact of increased volatility in the Australian energy market. Total earnings decreased by 3.5% to HK$5,909 million. The Board decided to increase the level of our first and second interim dividends from HK$0.57 per share in 2016 to HK$0.59 per share this year.
