The following announcement was issued today to a Regulatory
Information Service approved by the Financial Conduct Authority in
the United Kingdom.
DAIRY FARM INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED
HALF-YEARLY RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30TH JUNE 2018
Highlights
-- Consolidated sales up 6% at constant rates of exchange
-- Underlying profit 2% higher
-- Strong results from North Asia Health and Beauty
-- Continuing decline in Southeast Asia Food
-- New leadership team in place
"The first half of the year saw strong results from North Asia,
driven by the Health and Beauty business in Hong Kong and Macau,
but the Southeast Asian Food businesses continued to face
challenges producing a weaker overall performance. While the
outlook for the remainder of the year is expected to remain
challenging for the Food businesses, particularly in Southeast
Asia, the Group's other businesses should continue to make steady
progress. Significant management and structural changes have been
made to address the issues the Group faces in a number of areas,
but time will be needed to deliver sustainable improvement."

DAIRY FARM INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED
HALF-YEARLY RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 30TH JUNE 2018
OVERVIEW
The Group continues to face challenges on several fronts,
including increasing competitive pressures and a number of
underperforming businesses within the portfolio. In order to
address these, Dairy Farm has consolidated its trading operations
into a more centralised structure with two main trading divisions,
North Asia and Southeast Asia, in addition to Home Furnishings and
Maxim's, which remain as standalone divisions. Newly constituted
shared functions will provide specialist support to all divisions
and a strengthened and broadened leadership team has been created
to meet the requirements of the business.
Performance in the first half saw higher sales achieved in all
divisions, with the Group's underlying profit increasing slightly
compared with the prior year.
RESULTS
Sales of US$5.9 billion for the period by the Group's
subsidiaries were 8% higher than last year, or 6% higher at
constant rates of exchange. Total sales, including 100% of
associates and joint ventures, rose 17% to US$12.2 billion,
primarily as a result of strong growth in Yonghui and Maxim's.
Underlying net profit was US$215 million, 2% higher than the same
period last year as were underlying earnings per share at
USc15.88.
Operating cash flow for the period was a net inflow of US$312
million, compared with US$306 million in the first half of 2017
reflecting continued improvements in working capital management. As
at 30th June 2018, the Group's net debt was higher at US$670
million compared to US$599 million at 31st December 2017,
principally due to continued investment in the businesses.
An unchanged interim dividend of USc6.50 per share has been
declared.
PERFORMANCE
In North Asia, overall sales within the Food businesses were
ahead of prior year, but profits declined, mainly due to higher
rental and labour costs in Hong Kong. The Health and Beauty
business in Hong Kong and Macau delivered very strong sales and
profit growth, driven by a significant increase in business from
higher numbers of mainland Chinese tourists.
In Southeast Asia, challenging trading conditions continued for
the Food businesses. The Group saw lower sales and profits in
Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, while in the Philippines, sales
were higher but profits lower, due to increased operating costs
resulting from more store openings. Generally, these businesses
have suffered from a lack of investment in infrastructure, range
and competitive pricing for some time, while competition in each
market has been increasing. Turning these Food businesses around
and becoming more relevant to the changing demands of customers
will take significant effort. Appropriate plans are now being put
in place following the strategic review, but will require time to
take effect.
The improving performance of the majority of the Group's Health
and Beauty businesses in Southeast Asia is encouraging, with
Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam reporting better underlying
results.
The Group's convenience store operations performed well, with
Hong Kong and Macau trading in line with last year. In Singapore,
overall convenience store sales were slightly lower than last year
due to the termination of a multi-site agreement, but profitability
improved following the closure of some underperforming stores.
Like-for-like sales increases and store expansion in mainland China
continued to underpin growth in this sector.
In Home Furnishings, IKEA performed ahead of last year in Taiwan
and Indonesia, with sales and profits growth. Hong Kong reported
higher sales, helped by a contribution from the new store which
opened in October last year, but associated higher operating costs
resulted in a reduction in profits. Progress continues to be made
on new store development in both Taiwan and Indonesia, with several
sites under development. Meanwhile, e-commerce activities are
showing increased results in all markets but from a small base.
Maxim's delivered another good performance and is continuing to
expand its presence across mainland China and Southeast Asia.
Yonghui reported strong sales growth and underlying profits from
the core food business remained strong, but total profits were
behind prior year due to the investment in new technology formats
and the introduction of an employee incentive scheme announced
earlier this year.
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTS
Given the mixed performance of businesses within the Group,
plans are now being developed to build on Dairy Farm's strengths
and address the challenges it faces. Five strategic priorities have
been identified: building capability, growing presence in mainland
China, protecting the Group's Hong Kong business, revitalising the
Southeast Asia operations and driving digital innovation. A series
of programmes are underway to support these priorities across all
of the Group's businesses.
In March, the Group announced that it had agreed to partner with
Robinsons Retail Holdings Inc. ('RRHI'), the third largest retailer
in the Philippines, to build a leading food retail business in that
market. Dairy Farm will combine its Rustan Supercenters, Inc.
operations with RRHI to build on the combined strengths of both
businesses, creating a new platform for growth. Following
completion of the transaction, Dairy Farm would own 18.25% of RRHI.
The transaction, which is subject to certain regulatory approvals,
is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter.
In May, Maxim's opened its first Shake Shack restaurant, an
American fast casual burger-and-shake format, in Hong Kong, with
encouraging initial results.
At 30th June, Dairy Farm, including associates and joint
ventures, operated over 7,400 outlets across all formats, compared
with 7,181 at 31st December 2017.
PEOPLE
Dr George Koo stepped down as a Director on 9th May 2018. We
would like to thank him for his significant contribution to the
Company over many years. We would also like to welcome Dr Delman
Lee, who has joined the Board.
Several new senior executives with a wealth of retail experience
from around the world have joined the Dairy Farm leadership
team.
OUTLOOK
The first half of the year saw strong results from North Asia,
driven by the Health and Beauty business in Hong Kong and Macau,
but the Southeast Asian Food businesses continued to face
challenges producing a weaker overall performance. While the
outlook for the remainder of the year is expected to remain
challenging for the Food businesses, particularly in Southeast
Asia, the Group's other businesses should continue to make steady
progress. Significant management and structural changes have been
made to address the issues the Group faces in a number of areas,
but time will be needed to deliver sustainable improvement.

Dairy Farm International Holdings Limited
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PREPARATION
The condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' and on a going
concern basis. The condensed financial statements have not been
audited or reviewed by the Group's auditors pursuant to the UK
Auditing Practices Board guidance on the review of interim
financial information.
There are no changes to the accounting policies as described in
the 2017 annual financial statements except for the adoption of
IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments' and IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts
with Customers' from 1st January 2018 as set out below.
The other amendments, which are effective in 2018 and relevant
to the Group's operations, do not have a significant effect on the
Group's accounting policies.
The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or
amendment that have been issued but not yet effective.
IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'
Under IFRS 9, the gains and losses arising from changes in fair
value of the Group's investments in equity securities, previously
classified as available-for-sale, will be recognised in profit and
loss, instead of through other comprehensive income. Such fair
value gains or losses on revaluation of these investments are
classified as non-trading items, and do not have any impact on the
Group's underlying profit attributable to shareholders and
shareholders' funds. The new hedge accounting rules, which align
the accounting for hedging instruments closely with the Group's
risk management practices, and the new forward-looking expected
credit loss model replacing the incurred loss impairment model,
have no significant impact to the Group.
IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers'
IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for the
recognition of revenue. It replaces IAS 11 'Construction
Contracts', and IAS 18 'Revenue' which covers contracts for goods
and services. The core principle in the framework is that revenue
is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a
customer. There is no significant impact on the new standard to the
Group.
Changes to accounting policies on adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15
have been applied retrospectively and the comparative financial
statements have been restated.

Investments
The Group's investments are measured at fair value through
profit and loss. The classification is based on the management's
business model and their contractual cash flows
characteristics.
Equity investments are measured at fair value with fair value
gains and losses recognised in profit and loss, unless management
has elected to recognise the fair value gains and losses through
other comprehensive income.
All purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the
trade date, which is the date that the Group commits to purchase or
sell the investments.
Debtors
All debtors, excluding derivative financial instruments, are
measured at amortised cost except where the effect of discounting
would be material. The impairment measurement is subject to whether
there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade
debtors, the Group applied the simplified approach permitted by
IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised
from initial recognition of the debtors. The carrying amount of the
asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the
amount of the loss is recognised in arriving at operating profit.
When a debtor is uncollectible, it is written off against the
allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amount previously
written off are credited to profit and loss.
Debtors with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance
sheet date are classified under non-current assets.
Non-trading items
Non-trading items are separately identified to provide greater
understanding of the Group's underlying business performance. Items
classified as non-trading items include fair value gains or losses
on equity investments which are fair value through profit and loss;
gains and losses arising from the sale of businesses, investments
and properties; impairment of non-depreciable intangible assets and
other investments; provisions for the closure of businesses;
acquisition-related costs in business combinations; and other
credits and charges of a non-recurring nature that require
inclusion in order to provide additional insight into underlying
business performance.
Sales recognition
Sales consist of the fair value of goods sold to customers, net
of returns, discounts and sales related taxes. This does not
include sales generated by associates and joint ventures. Sale of
goods is recognised at the point of sale, when the control of the
asset is transferred to the customers, and is recorded at the net
amount received from customers.

Fair value estimation
(i) Financial instruments that are measured at fair value
For financial instruments that are measured at fair value in the
balance sheet, the corresponding fair value measurements are
disclosed by level of the following fair value measurement
hierarchy:
(a) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities ('quoted prices in active markets')
The fair values of listed investments are based on quoted prices
in active markets at the balance sheet date. The quoted market
price used for listed investments held by the Group is the current
bid price.
(b) Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly ('observable current market transactions')
The fair values of derivative financial instruments are
determined using rates quoted by the Group's bankers at the balance
sheet date. The rates for interest rate swaps and forward foreign
exchange contracts are calculated by reference to market interest
rates and foreign exchange rates.
The fair values of unlisted investments mainly include club
debentures, are determined using prices quoted by brokers at the
balance sheet date.
(c) Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on
observable market data ('unobservable inputs')
The fair values of other unlisted investments are determined
using valuation techniques by reference to observable current
market transactions or the market prices of the underlying
investments with certain degree of entity specific estimates, or
determined with reference to the underlying cash flow from the
investments, discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate.
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the six
months ended 30th June 2018 and the year ended 31st December
2017.
The tables below analyse financial instruments carried at fair
value at 30th June 2018 and 31st December 2017, by the levels in

The fair values of current debtors, bank balances and other
liquid funds, current creditors and current borrowings are assumed
to approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term
maturities of these assets and liabilities.
The fair values of long-term borrowings are based on market
prices or are estimated using the expected future payments
discounted at market interest rates.
