CLP Holdings Limited Announces 2015 Interim Results

In the first six months of 2015, the Group’s operating earnings reached HK$5,525 million, a 16% increase over the corresponding period of last year. Total earnings were down by 15% to HK$5,723 million simply because a one-off gain from the acquisitions of Castle Peak Power Company Limited (CAPCO) and Hong Kong Pumped Storage Development Company, Limited (PSDC) was booked in 2014. Due to the positive results, we have increased the level of both first and second interim dividends from HK$0.54 per share a year ago to HK$0.55 per share this year.
