Note 1: Following the adoption of IFRS 16 "Leases" on 1 January 2019, the Group's statutory results for the six months ended 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2020 are on an IFRS 16 basis. The Group believes that the precedent lease accounting standard IAS 17 basis metrics, which are not intended to be a substitute for, or superior to, the reported metrics on an IFRS 16 basis ("Post-IFRS 16 basis"), better reflect management's view of the underlying operational performance. As a result, the Group has provided an alternative presentation of the Group's EBITDA, EBIT and profit attributable to shareholders prepared under IAS 17 ("Pre-IFRS 16 basis") relating to the accounting for leases for the six months ended 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2020. Unless otherwise specified, the discussion of the Group's operating results in this results announcement is on a Pre-IFRS 16 basis.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed unprecedented challenges to individuals and businesses around the world. The business climate of the mobile telecommunications market has inevitably been affected, and travel restrictions and other precautionary measures imposed to control the spread of COVID-19 have resulted in a major reduction in roaming revenue. Against this backdrop, the Group has taken a number of proactive measures to reduce the impact of the pandemic on its business. The Group's operating results for the first half of 2020 have demonstrated resilience in the face of adversity, particularly attributed to its effective cost structure.

Despite a 38% drop in roaming service revenue, the Group's local service revenue increased slightly by 1% over the same period last year. This increase was mainly driven by growing demand for corporate solution offerings, as enterprises are shifting to new modes of operations. The overall service revenue decreased by 7% to HK$1,664 million for the first half of 2020.

Service EBITDA increased by 2% as the Group's continuous cost improvement exercise further streamlined daily operations and improved operational efficiency. A healthy service EBITDA margin of 33% was recorded for the period.

On a Pre-IFRS 16 basis, the Group's total EBITDA increased by 1% to HK$559 million for the first six months of the year, while EBIT decreased by 5% to HK$143 million against the same period last year due to higher depreciation and amortisation.

On a Post-IFRS 16 basis, the Group's total EBITDA and EBIT decreased by 1% and 8% respectively against the same period last year. Profit attributable to shareholders and earnings per share were HK$146 million and 3.03 HK cents, a 22% decrease compared with HK$188 million and 3.90 HK cents respectively of the same period last year. The decrease was mainly due to lower interest income as the cash balance has significantly reduced from HK$9,555 million in the beginning of 2019 to HK$5,536 million as of 30 June 2020 subsequent to the distribution of HK$3,855 million special interim dividend and HK$471 million cash paid for the acquisition of a 24.1% interest in the Group's mobile operation in May 2019. The interest income forgone corresponded to an approximately 0.77 HK cents decrease in earnings per share. Excluding the effect of interest income reduction, profit attributable to shareholders dropped marginally by 3% against the same period last year.

As of 30 June 2020, the total number of customers in Hong Kong and Macau remained steady at approximately 3.3 million (as of 30 June 2019: approximately 3.3 million). The Group continued to focus on enhancing its customer retention programmes during the period, and achieved a stable monthly postpaid churn rate of 1.1% (1H 2019: 1.1%). Local postpaid net ARPU increased by 5% to HK$150 as a result of a higher contribution from the corporate market.

Dividend

The Board has declared an interim dividend of 2.28 HK cents (2019 interim dividend:

2.93 HK cents) per share for the first half of 2020, payable on Friday, 4 September 2020, to shareholders whose names appear on the Register of Members of the Company at the close of business on Wednesday, 26 August 2020, being the record date for determining shareholders' entitlement to the interim dividend. The Board expects the total full year dividend payout to be equivalent to 75% of annual profit attributable to shareholders.

Outlook

Uncertainties around the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to persist, and the near-term business environment is expected to remain extremely challenging. Roaming business is likely to be depressed in the second half, while consumers and corporates become very cautious in their spending. Despite the turmoil and uncertainties posed by the pandemic, demands for automation and business solutions from various sectors impacted by the anti-epidemic measures have accelerated. This has translated into benefits for the Group, as more enterprises have taken up solution offerings from the Group to meet their ever-changing business demands, riding on the recently launched 5G services. The Group will continue to build on its B2B strengths, leveraging its advanced network infrastructure and its close ties with members of the CKHH Group, as well as its collaborative efforts with global partners.

The Group is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen. It fully recognises that investors and stakeholders are placing greater importance than ever on the sustainability practices of businesses. It continues to formulate responsible policies and initiatives to address ESG matters, as part of its determination to generate sustainable value for stakeholders.

While the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid and rapidly evolving, the Group will remain vigilant and closely monitor its development. It will continue to adopt appropriate measures to safeguard the interest of its employees and business operations, and at the same time maintain its full service commitment to its customers.

To conclude, I would like to thank the Board of Directors and all staff members for their unwavering dedication, their consummate professionalism, and their invaluable contributions to the Group throughout an incredibly challenging period.

Chairman

Hong Kong, 28 July 2020

Review of Financial Results

The Group's total revenue for the first half of 2020 decreased by 21% to HK$1,982 million (1H 2019: HK$2,515 million).

Service revenue decreased by 7% to HK$1,664 million, largely due to a 38% decline in roaming service revenue which accounted for 13% of the Group's service revenue for the period (1H 2019: 20%).

Hardware revenue of HK$318 million was 57% lower than the same period in 2019, reflecting lower spending on consumables and a fall in demand for new smartphones.

The Group continued to adhere to a strict cost discipline regime during the first six months of 2020, with the aim of creating a low-cost,high-efficiency operational environment. Key costs (Pre-IFRS 16 basis), comprising CACs, staff costs and other operating expenses, decreased by 10% to HK$1,141 million.

On a Pre-IFRS 16 basis, the Group's total EBITDA increased by 1% to HK$559 million (1H 2019: HK$554 million), while EBIT decreased by 5% to HK$143 million against the same period last year due to higher depreciation and amortisation.

Service EBITDA (Pre-IFRS 16 basis) increased by 2% to HK$556 million for the first half of 2020, benefiting from the aforementioned savings in key costs, partly offset by lower total margin. Service EBITDA margin (Pre-IFRS 16 basis) improved to 33% (1H 2019: 31%).

On a Post-IFRS 16 basis, the Group's total EBITDA and EBIT decreased by 1% and 8% respectively against the same period last year. Profit attributable to shareholders and earnings per share were HK$146 million and 3.03 HK cents, a 22% decrease compared with HK$188 million and 3.90 HK cents respectively of the same period last year. The decrease was mainly due to lower interest income as the cash balance has significantly reduced from HK$9,555 million in the beginning of 2019 to HK$5,536 million as of 30 June 2020 subsequent to the distribution of HK$3,855 million special interim dividend and HK$471 million cash paid for the acquisition of a 24.1% interest in the Group's mobile operation in May 2019. The interest income forgone corresponded to an approximately 0.77 HK cents decrease in earnings per share. Excluding the effect of interest income reduction, profit attributable to shareholders dropped marginally by 3% against the same period last year. The impact of IFRS 16 on total EBIT and profit attributable to shareholders of the Group was insignificant.

As of 30 June 2020, the total number of customers in Hong Kong and Macau remained steady at approximately 3.3 million (as of 30 June 2019: approximately 3.3 million). The Group continued to focus on enhancing its customer retention programmes, and was able to maintain a stable monthly postpaid churn rate of 1.1% (1H 2019: 1.1%). Local postpaid net ARPU increased by 5% to HK$150 as a result of higher contribution from the corporate market.

Net interest and other finance income

Net interest and other finance income (Post-IFRS 16 basis, with share of a joint venture) amounted to HK$43 million for the first half of 2020, compared with HK$82 million for the same period last year. This was mainly due to lower interest income as net cash balance reduced from HK$9,555 million in the beginning of 2019 to HK$5,536 million as of 30 June 2020 subsequent to the distribution of HK$3,855 million special interim dividend and HK$471 million cash settlement for the acquisition of the 24.1% interest in the mobile business in May 2019.

The Group continues to maintain a healthy financial position with a net cash position of HK$5,536 million as of 30 June 2020 (31 December 2019: HK$5,416 million). The improvement in net cash position during the first six month of the year was mainly due to better working capital management.

7

Capital expenditure

Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment, which accounted for 6% (1H 2019: 9%) of the Group's service revenue, reduced by 32% to HK$105 million. The decrease was mainly due to timing of the 5G capital expenditure and rescheduling of other projects to better align with expected future benefits. The Group continues to be disciplined in scrutinising its projects with care and prudence and ensuring that adequate resources are made available in accordance with operational and technological needs.

Spectrum investment

In October 2019, the Group acquired 40 MHz in the 3500 MHz band for 15 years from 2020 for a spectrum utilisation fee of HK$202 million through auction. Other than that, spectrum investment remained unchanged compared with the position as at 31 December 2019.

Summary of spectrum investment as of 30 June 2020

	Spectrum band	Bandwidth	Year of expiry
Hong Kong	900 MHz	10 MHz	2026
	900 MHz	16.6 MHz	2021 
	1800 MHz	23.2 MHz	2021 
	2100 MHz	29.6 MHz	2031
	2300 MHz	30 MHz	2027
	2600 MHz	30 MHz 	2024

Macau	900 MHz	10 MHz	2023
	1800 MHz	20 MHz	2023
	2100 MHz	10 MHz	2023

• After the spectrum auction and licence renewal in 2018, the licence period of the existing 16.6 MHz in the 900 MHz band was extended from November 2020 to January 2021 to align with the new spectrum assignment period. Subsequently, the Group will hold 10 MHz in the 900 MHz band and 30 MHz in the 1800 MHz band from 2021 to 2036.

• The spectrum band was shared under 50/50 joint venture - Genius Brand Limited.

1. On 31 May 2019, the Group effectively acquired the entire 24.1% interests in each of HTCL, which indirectly held 100% interests in HTMCL, and H3GHK from NTT DOCOMO, Inc., a subsidiary of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, at a consideration of US$60 million (approximately HK$471 million). Consequently, HTCL, HTMCL and H3GHK became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Group. The difference of HK$293 million between the proportionate share of the carrying amount of net assets of these subsidiaries and the consideration paid for the additional interests have been debited to other reserves of the Group.

NOTES

1. General Information
   Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 3 August 2007 as a company with limited liability. Its registered office address is P.O. Box 31119, Grand Pavilion, Hibiscus Way, 802 West Bay Road, Grand Cayman, KY1-1205 Cayman Islands.
   The Group is engaged in mobile telecommunications business in Hong Kong and Macau. The shares of the Company are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange.
   These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars, unless otherwise stated. These interim financial statements were approved for issuance by the Board on 28 July 2020.
2. Basis of Preparation
   These interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2020 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting". These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
   These interim financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and on a going concern basis.
   The COVID-19 pandemic has evolved rapidly during the first six months of 2020, with the number of cases reported around the world continue to increase. Travel restrictions and other precautionary measures imposed by various governments to contain the virus have adversely affected the economic activities. In response to this adversity, the Group has taken a number of proactive measures to reduce the impact of the pandemic on its business. The Group's roaming revenue has inevitably been affected to some extent during the first half of the year but the related impact to the overall operating results has been largely offset by the continuous cost improvement exercise to further streamline the daily operations. Given the extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic remain uncertain, the Group's estimates and assumptions may evolve as conditions change and the 2020 full year actual results could differ from those estimates. The Group will remain vigilant and closely monitor the development of the COVID-19 situation and will evaluate its impact on the Group's financial position and operating results accordingly.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
   The accounting policies applied and methods of computation used in the preparation of these interim financial statements are consistent with those used in 2019 annual financial statements, except for the adoption of new or revised standards, amendments and interpretations which are relevant to the operations of the Group and mandatory for annual periods beginning 1 January 2020. In addition, the Group has early adopted Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions (Amendment to IFRS 16) ahead of its effective date and applied the amendment from 1 January 2020. The adoption of these new or revised standards, amendments and interpretations does not have a material impact to the Group's results of operations or financial position.

   The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on profit attributable to shareholders of the Company of approximately HK$146 million (30 June 2019: HK$188 million) and on the weighted average number of 4,819,096,208 (30 June 2019: 4,818,969,136) ordinary shares in issue during the period.
   The diluted earnings per share for the six months ended 30 June 2020 is the same as basic earnings per share as there is no potential dilutive shares during the period.
   The diluted earnings per share for the six months ended 30 June 2019 was calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of 4,818,969,136 ordinary shares in issue with the weighted average number of 87,081 ordinary shares deemed to be issued assuming the exercise of the share options.

GROUP CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Treasury Management

The Group's treasury function sets financial risk management policies in accordance with policies and procedures that are approved by the Executive Director, and which are also subject to periodic review by the Group's internal audit function. The Group's treasury policies are designed to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates on the Group's overall financial position and to minimise the Group's financial risks. The Group's treasury function operates as a centralised service for managing financial risks, including interest rate and foreign exchange risks, and for providing cost-efficient funding to the Group and its companies. It manages the majority of the Group's funding needs, interest rate, foreign currency and credit risk exposures. The Group uses interest rate and foreign currency swaps and forward contracts as appropriate for risk management purposes only, for hedging transactions and for managing the Group's assets and liabilities' exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. It is the Group's policy not to enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes. It is also the Group's policy not to invest liquidity in financial products, including hedge funds or similar vehicles.

Cash management and funding

The Group operates a central cash management system for all of its subsidiaries. In general, financing is mainly derived from operating income to meet funding requirements of the operating subsidiaries of the Group. The Group regularly and closely monitors its overall cash position and determines when external source of finance is needed.

Foreign currency exposure

The Group runs telecommunications operations principally in Hong Kong, with transactions denominated in Hong Kong dollars. The Group is exposed to other currency movements, primarily in terms of certain trade receivables or payables and bank deposits denominated in United States dollars, Macau Patacas, Renminbi, Euros and British pounds.

Credit exposure

The Group's holdings of surplus funds with financial institutions expose the Group to credit risk of counterparties. The Group controls its credit risk to non-performance by its counterparties through monitoring their share price movements and credit ratings as well as setting approved counterparty credit limits that are regularly reviewed.

19
