MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

1. MACROECONOMIC CONDITIONS

The first half of 2019 saw a complex international landscape and market conditions as well as slowing global economic and trade growth. In the latest World Economic Outlook report, the International Monetary Fund forecasts a slowdown in global economic growth in 2019, expecting the growth rate to decrease to 3.2% in 2019 and rebound slightly to 3.5% in 2020. With weaker-than-expected global economic activities, it is predicted that the developed economies will grow by 1.9% in 2019 while the growth rate of emerging markets and developing economies will slow down to 4.1% in 2019.

China’s economic fundamentals maintained solid growth with improving quality of development. In the first half of the year, foreign import and export trade continued to grow steadily. According to China Customs statistics, China’s total import and export value in foreign trade for the first half of the year amounted to RMB14.67 trillion, representing a year-on-year increase of 3.9%. In particular, the European Union became China’s largest trading partner and the total value of Sino-European trade accounted for 15.7% of China’s total import and export value. The growth in import and export with countries along the Belt and Road was 9.7%, higher than the overall growth. As far as foreign trade conditions are concerned, China saw a more solid foundation for quality development of foreign trade and the organic drivers continued to strengthen in the first half of the year.

2. SHIPPING MARKET

In the first half of 2019, given the lack of global economic and trade growth drivers and growing uncertainty over trade relations between the world’s major economies, there was declining growth in container shipping demand. In addition, the growth in the world fleet capacity moderated while the new vessel delivery decreased year on year and vessel demolition increased. The simultaneous decline in the growth of market supply and demand enabled the shipping market to achieve overall supply and demand equilibrium. In the first half of the year, the average reading of China Containerized Freight Index (CCFI) was 828 points, representing a year-on-year increase of 3.9%. In the second half of the year, it is expected that the uncertainty over the international trade landscape will continue to affect demand for foreign trade shipping while China’s total value of trade with regions and countries along the Belt and Road will keep growing at a faster pace, which can facilitate stable growth in shipping demand.

3. FINANCIAL MARKET

In the first half of 2019, the regulatory authorities adopted a series of policies and measures for steady growth, structural adjustment and risk prevention in a complex environment surrounded by evidently increasing domestic and overseas risks and challenges. As a result, the financial market remained stable overall. At the end of June 2019, China’s balances of Money Supply definition 2 (M2) and total social financing recorded a year-on-year increase of 8.5% and 10.9% respectively. In the first half of the year, the SSE Composite Index saw a cumulative increase of 19.45% while the SZSE Component Index and the ChiNext Index recorded a cumulative increase of 26.78% and 20.87% respectively. In the second half of the year, the Chinese government and regulatory authorities will continue to spur the financial supply-side structural reform and strive to implement positive fiscal policies and solid monetary policies which should play out effectively and complement each other, so as to maintain constructive domestic economic development featuring overall stability with progress and support ongoing progress with quality economic development.

CASH FLOWS

For the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Group’s net cash inflow generated from operating activities was RMB2,895,941,000, denominated principally in RMB and USD, representing an increase of RMB1,160,251,000 as compared with the net cash inflow generated from operating activities of RMB1,735,690,000 for the corresponding period of 2018. The balance of cash and cash equivalents at the end of June 2019 decreased by RMB2,446,742,000 as compared with the beginning of the Period, mainly because the net cash inflow generated from operating activities was less than the net cash outflow used in financing activities and investing activities. The cash inflow generated from financing activities of the Group for the Period was mainly derived from bank and other borrowings and such funds were used mainly for short-term operation and the purchase and construction of containers.

The following table provides the information regarding the Group’s cash flow for the six months ended 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018:

For the six months ended 30 June 2019, the net cash outflow used in investing activities was RMB4,653,192,000, representing a decrease of RMB1,740,930,000 as compared with the net cash outflow used in investing activities of RMB6,394,122,000 for the corresponding period of 2018. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities of the Group was primarily attributable to the decrease in the Group’s purchase of containers for the six months ended 30 June 2019.

NET CASH USED IN FINANCING ACTIVITIES

For the six months ended 30 June 2019, the net cash outflow used in financing activities was RMB686,384,000, representing an increase of RMB347,926,000 as compared with the net cash outflow used in financing activities of RMB338,458,000 for the corresponding period of 2018.

AVERAGE TURNOVER DAYS OF TRADE AND NOTES RECEIVABLES

As at 30 June 2019, the Group’s net balance of trade and notes receivables amounted to RMB1,511,069,000, representing an increase of RMB476,197,000 as compared with 31 December 2018, of which note receivables increased by RMB43,676,000 and trade receivables increased by RMB432,521,000, which was mainly due to the pending payment for the sales orders of the container manufacturing segment newly signed at the end of the Period.

GEARING RATIO

As at 30 June 2019, the Company’s net gearing ratio (i.e. net debts over shareholders’ equity) was 411%, which was lower than 533% as at 31 December 2018. The decrease in net gearing ratio was mainly due to the increase in shareholders’ equity as a result of the issuance of perpetual bonds during the Period.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK

Revenues and costs of the Group’s shipping-related leasing business and container manufacturing operations are settled or denominated in USD. As a result, the impact on the net operating revenue due to RMB exchange rate fluctuation can be offset by each other to a certain extent. For the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Group recorded an exchange gain of RMB4,721,000 which was mainly due to fluctuations of the USD exchange rate during the Period; the decrease in exchange difference which was charged to equity attributable to shareholders of the parent amounted to RMB29,767,000. The Group will continue to monitor the exchange rate fluctuation of RMB and major international settlement currencies, reduce the loss arising from exchange rate fluctuation, and take appropriate measures to mitigate the Group’s foreign exchange risk when necessary.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

For the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Group’s expenditures on the acquisition of containers, machinery and equipment and other expenditures amounted to RMB969,388,000, expenditures on the acquisition of finance lease assets amounted to RMB10,106,756,000.

Independent Review Report

To the board of directors of COSCO SHIPPING Development Co., Ltd.

(Established in the People’s Republic of China with limited liability)

INTRODUCTION

We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 21 to 50, which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position of COSCO SHIPPING Development Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) as at 30 June 2019 and the related condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“HKAS 34”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”). The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with HKAS 34. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review. Our report is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

SCOPE OF REVIEW

We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the HKICPA. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

CONCLUSION

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with HKAS 34.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

30 JUNE 2019

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

COSCO SHIPPING Development Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) is a joint stock company with limited liability incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The address of the Company’s registered office is Room A-538, International Trade Center, China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone, Shanghai, the PRC.

During the six months ended 30 June 2019, the principal activities of the Group were as follows:

  • (a) Operating leasing and financial leasing;

  • (b) Manufacture and sale of containers;

  • (c) Provision of financial and insurance brokerage services;

  • (d) Equity investment; and

  • (e) Cargo and liner agency services.

In the opinion of the directors, the immediate holding company and the ultimate holding company of the Company are China Shipping Group Company Limited and China COSCO Shipping Corporation Limited, respectively, both established in the PRC.

2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

The interim condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2019 has been prepared in accordance with HKAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim condensed consolidated financial information does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.

Going concern

The Group had net current liabilities of RMB17,395,034,000 as at 30 June 2019. The directors are of the opinion that based on the available unutilised banking facilities as at 30 June 2019, the Group will have the necessary liquid funds to finance its working capital and to meet its capital expenditure requirements. Accordingly, the directors are of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare the interim condensed consolidated financial information on a going concern basis.

2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, except for the adoption of the new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) effective as of 1 January 2019.

Amendments to HKFRS 9 Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation HKFRS 16 Leases Amendments to HKAS 19 Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement Amendments to HKAS 28 Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures HK(IFRIC)-Int 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments Annual Improvements 2015-2017 Cycle Amendments to HKFRS 3, HKFRS 11, HKAS 12 and HKAS 23

Other than as explained below regarding the impact of HKFRS 16 Leases, the new and revised standards are not relevant to the preparation of the Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial information. The nature and impact of HKFRS 16 are described below:

HKFRS 16 replaces HKAS 17 Leases, HK(IFRIC)-Int 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, HK(SIC)-Int 15 Operating Leases – Incentives and HK(SIC)-Int 27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model. Lessor accounting under HKFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from HKAS 17. HKFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting model in HKAS 17.

The Group adopted HKFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of 1 January 2019. Under this method, the standard is applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initial adoption as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at 1 January 2019, and the comparative information for 2018 was not restated and continues to be reported under HKAS 17.

New definition of a lease

Under HKFRS 16, a contract is, or contains a lease if the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is conveyed where the customer has both the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset and the right to direct the use of the identified asset. The Group elected to use the transition practical expedient allowing the standard to be applied only to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying HKAS 17 and HK(IFRIC)-Int 4 at the date of initial application. Contracts that were not identified as leases under HKAS 17 and HK(IFRIC)-Int 4 were not reassessed. Therefore, the definition of a lease under HKFRS 16 has been applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 January 2019.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)

30 JUNE 2019

2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES (Continued)

New definition of a lease (Continued)

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their stand-alone prices. A practical expedient is available to a lessee, which the Group has adopted, not to separate nonlease components and to account for the lease and the associated non-lease components (e.g., property management services for leases of properties) as a single lease component.

Nature of the effect of adoption of HKFRS 16

As a lessee – Leases previously classified as operating leases

As a lessee, the Group previously classified leases as either finance leases or operating leases based on the assessment of whether the lease transferred substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets to the Group. Under HKFRS 16, the Group applies a single approach to recognise and measure right-ofuse assets and lease liabilities for all leases, except for two elective exemptions for leases of low value assets (elected on a lease-by-lease basis) and short-term leases (elected by class of underlying asset). The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for (i) leases of low-value assets (e.g., laptop computers and telephones); and (ii) leases, that at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less. Instead, the Group recognises the lease payments associated with those leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Sublease

A sublease is a transaction for which an underlying asset is re-leased by a lessee (“intermediate lessor”) to a third party, and the lease (“head lease”) between the head lessor and lessee remains in effect. As an intermediate lessor, the Group previously classified subleases as either finance leases or operating leases by reference to the underlying assets. Under HKFRS 16, the Group shall classify them by reference to the head leases.

If a lessee subleases an asset, or expects to sublease an asset, the head lease does not qualify as a lease of a low-value asset mentioned above.

The intermediate lessor accounts for the sublease in accordance with its classification using the lessor accounting model under HKFRS 16.

Impacts on transition

Lease liabilities at 1 January 2019 were recognised based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate at 1 January 2019.

The right-of-use assets were recognised based on the carrying amount as if the standard had always been applied, except for the incremental borrowing rate where the Group applied the incremental borrowing rate at 1 January 2019. All these assets were assessed for any impairment based on HKAS 36 on that date. The Group elected to present the right-of-use assets separately in the statement of financial position.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)

2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES (Continued)

Impacts on transition (Continued)

For subleases, the Group reassesses each existing operating sublease at the date of initial application to determine whether it is classified as an operating lease or a finance lease under the requirements of HKFRS 16. This reassessment is based on the remaining contractual terms of the head lease and the sublease with reference to the right-of-use asset associated with the head lease and not the underlying asset. If a sublease was classified as an operating lease under HKAS 17 but is classified as a finance lease under HKFRS 16, the Group accounts for the sublease as a new finance lease entered into on the date of initial application. Any gain or loss arising on the sublease arrangement is included in the cumulative catch-up adjustment to retained earnings at the date of initial application.

The Group has used the following elective practical expedients when applying HKFRS 16 at 1 January 2019:

  • Applied the short-term lease exemptions to leases with a lease term that ends within 12 months from the date of initial application; and

  • Applied a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.

The impacts arising from the adoption of HKFRS 16 as at 1 January 2019 are as follows:

2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES (Continued)

Summary of new accounting policies

The accounting policy for leases as disclosed in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 is replaced with the following new accounting policies upon adoption of HKFRS 16 from 1 January 2019:

Right-of-use assets

Right-of-use assets are recognised at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, the recognised right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life and the lease term.

Lease liabilities

Lease liabilities are recognised at the commencement date of the lease at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for termination of a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as an expense in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in future lease payments arising from change in an index or rate, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

Sublease

The Group classifies the sublease as follows:

  • If the head lease is a short-term lease that the entity, as a lessee, has been elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the sublease shall be classified as an operating lease; and

  • Otherwise, the sublease shall be classified by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, rather than by reference to the underlying asset.

2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURES (Continued)

Summary of new accounting policies (Continued)

Sublease (Continued)

If the sublease is classified as an operating lease, the intermediate lessor continues to account for the lease liability and right-of-use asset on the head lease like any other lease.

If the sublease is classified as a finance lease, the intermediate lessor (i) derecognises the right-of-use asset on the head lease and recognises the net investment in the sublease at the sublease commencement date; (ii) recognizes the difference between the right-of-use asset and the net investment in the sublease in profit or loss; and (iii) continues to account for the original lease liability in accordance with the lessee accounting model.

2.3 A CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

With effect from 1 January 2019, the group made a change in depreciation estimates as follows:

  • Estimated residual value of vessels changed from US$330 to US$366 per ton

  • Estimated residual value of certain containers changed from US$780 – US$900 to US$886 – US$1,016 per container

This constitutes a change in accounting estimates. In the opinion of the directors, based on the current business condition, the estimated residual value of these vessels and containers is more appropriately reflected by the change.

The change has been applied prospectively and has resulted in a decrease in depreciation of approximately RMB119,847,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2019.

8. INCOME TAX

According to the Corporate Income Tax (“CIT”) Law of the PRC, which was effective from 1 January 2008, the CIT rate applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries established in the PRC was 25% for the six months ended 30 June 2019 and 2018.

Pursuant to the PRC CIT Law, a 10% withholding tax is levied on dividends declared to foreign investors from the foreign investment enterprises established in the PRC. The requirement is effective from 1 January 2008 and applies to earnings after 31 December 2007. For the Group, the applicable rate is 10%. Certain of the Group’s overseas subsidiaries are therefore liable for withholding taxes on dividends distributed by certain associates established in the PRC in respect of earnings generated from 1 January 2008.

Hong Kong profits tax was provided at the rate of 16.5% on the estimated assessable profits of the Group’s companies operating in Hong Kong for the six months ended 30 June 2019 (six months ended 30 June 2018: 16.5%).

The major components of income tax expense of the Group are as follows:

Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and notes receivables, financial assets included in prepayments and other receivables, the current portion of finance lease receivables, the current portion of factoring receivables, trade payables, financial liabilities included in other payables and accruals, the current portion of bank and other borrowings, the current portion of corporate bonds, the current portion of finance lease obligations and the current portion of lease liabilities, respectively, approximate to their carrying amounts largely due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

The non-current portion of finance lease receivables, the non-current portion of finance lease obligations and the non-current portion of lease liabilities of the Group approximate to their fair values since their carrying amounts are present value and the internal rates of return are close to rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities.

The Group’s finance department headed by the finance manager is responsible for determining the policies and procedures for the fair value measurement of financial instruments. The finance department reports directly to the chief financial officer. At each reporting date, the finance department analyses the movements in the values of financial instruments and determines the major inputs applied in the valuation. The valuation is reviewed and approved by the chief financial officer.

The fair value of the non-current portion of factoring receivables, the non-current portion of bank and other borrowings, corporate bonds and other long term payables has been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows using rates currently available for instruments with similar terms, credit risk and remaining maturities. The differences between the carrying amounts and fair values of those financial liabilities are not significant.

During the period, there were no transfers of fair value measurements between Level 1 and Level 2 and no transfers into or out of Level 3 (six months ended 30 June 2018: nil).

For all the financial assets with fair value measurement categorised into Level 2, the Group estimates their fair values using market approach. For investments in private funds, the fair values are calculated in accordance with net asset value prepared by the fund manager. For the other investments, if there is a recent deal regarding these investments, the fair values are estimated based on the deal price. If there is no such deal to be referenced, the directors will determine comparable public companies (peers) based on industry, size, leverage and strategy, and calculates an appropriate price multiple for each comparable company identified. The multiple is calculated by dividing the enterprise value of the comparable company by net assets or net profit. The trading multiple is then discounted for considerations such as illiquidity based on companyspecific facts and circumstances. The discounted multiple is applied to the corresponding net assets or net profit of the unlisted equity investments to measure the fair value. The directors believe that the estimated fair values resulting from the valuation technique, which are recorded in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position, and the related changes in fair values, which are recorded in profit or loss, are reasonable, and that they were the most appropriate values at the end of the reporting period.
