CLP Holdings Limited Announces Steady Growth in 2016 Interim Results

In the first six months of 2016, the Group’s operating earnings were HK$6,149 million, an increase of 11.3% compared with the corresponding period in 2015. This reflected growth in both our core business in Hong Kong and our overseas operations. The Group’s total earnings for the first half of 2016 were HK$6,125 million, a rise of 7.0% from the same period of last year. These positive results have enabled us to raise the level of both our first and second interim dividends from HK$0.55 per share a year ago to HK$0.57 per share in 2016.
