    Date 02/11/2016

    The Board is pleased to present the unaudited consolidated results of the Group for the nine months ended 30 September 2016.

    Key Messages

    • Revenue and overall financial performance remained steady in Q3 2016, compared to the prior quarter, with some pick-up in volumes during September.
    • Revenue and other income for YTD Q3 2016 was 20 per cent lower than the prior period. However, after excluding exceptional gains of $514 million in YTD Q3 2015, revenue and other income decreased by 16 per cent. The significant drivers of Group revenue during the period were:

     

    1. Subdued activity on the Cash Market in Hong Kong and Commodities trading on the LME.
    2. Increased trading of derivatives contracts on the Futures Exchange.

     

    • Operating expenses increased by 2 per cent against YTD Q3 2015. After eliminating a one-off recovery of $77 million from the liquidators of Lehman Brothers Securities Asia Limited in YTD Q3 2015, underlying operating expenses have reduced by 1 per cent compared to the prior period.
    • Profit attributable to shareholders decreased by 30 per cent against YTD Q3 2015, where exceptionally high trading income delivered record high profits for the Group, or by 23 per cent after adjusting for the one off items referred to above. Notwithstanding difficult trading conditions, the YTD Q3 2016 profit attributable to shareholders compares well with pre 2015 results and was 24 per cent higher than the equivalent period in 2014.
