CLP Holdings Limited Announces 2012 Interim Results

In the first half of 2012, the Group’s operating earnings fell 22.4% to HK$3,897 million, compared with HK$5,025 million in the same period in 2011, mainly attributable to the unfavourable mark-to-market movements of energy contracts in Australia. The Group’s total earnings, including one-off items, were HK$3,356 million, a decline of HK$2,444 million, or 42.1%, from 2011.
