EARNINGS REVIEW Buy Equity Research Above expectations: Balancing act to attain higher recurring income What surprised us CKP reported 2016 underlying profit of HK$18bn, up 16% yoy (vs 2015 s stub), and 6% above GSe. Property sales EBIT was up 14% yoy to HK$17.7bn, and CKP achieved contracted sales of HK$70bn during 2016, with a net order book of c.hk$38bn, which it said will be substantially recognized in 2017. Recurring EBIT, including rentals, hotels/serviced apartments and REITs, was up 37% to c.hk$9bn. DPS rose by 9.3% to HK$1.53/share (vs GSe HK$1.55/shr), implying c.33% payout ratio (-2 pp yoy). BVPS at HK$70.66, up 2.3% hoh. Investment Profile Low Growth Returns * Multiple Volatility Percentile 20th 40th 60th 80th 100th Asia Pacific Property Peer Group Average High Growth Returns * Multiple Volatility * Returns = Return on Capital For a complete description of the investment profile measures please refer to the disclosure section of this document. What to do with the stock Overall, CKP continues its balancing act to attain a higher recurring income - while they see limited land banking opportunities amid high prices, in the interim they pursue global investment opportunities to enhance recurring revenue and mitigate the cyclicality of property sales. On capital management, CKP said (1) aside from dividends (c.hk$5.9bn), the company has bought c.hk$3bn of shares since Mar 2016 (at average c.hk$50/shr, or 1.6% of shares), making a total return of capital of c.hk$9bn; (2) In the medium-term, it sees a growing recurring income driving higher payout - Chairman Li at the press conference commented that the aim is to grow its recurring EBIT by 50% over the next few years, which we believe will come through new IP completions, addition of aircraft leasing and potentially Duet Group (DUE.AX, for which it has a bid outstanding), plus other potential M&A. We revise our 2017-19E by 8.6%/5.7%/8.0% partly due to completion of the aircraft leasing business acquisition. Our model does not factor in the Duet transaction or the Century Link disposal pending completions. Reiterate Buy with a new 12- mo NAV-based TP of HK$74.00 (from HK$73.20). Risks: Worse-thanexpected conditions for asset monetization.

Disclosure Appendix Reg AC I, Justin Kwok, CFA, hereby certify that all of the views expressed in this report accurately reflect my personal views about the subject company or companies and its or their securities. I also certify that no part of my compensation was, is or will be, directly or indirectly, related to the specific recommendations or views expressed in this report. Unless otherwise stated, the individuals listed on the cover page of this report are analysts in Goldman Sachs' Global Investment Research division. Investment Profile The Goldman Sachs Investment Profile provides investment context for a security by comparing key attributes of that security to its peer group and market. The four key attributes depicted are: growth, returns, multiple and volatility. Growth, returns and multiple are indexed based on composites of several methodologies to determine the stocks percentile ranking within the region's coverage universe. The precise calculation of each metric may vary depending on the fiscal year, industry and region but the standard approach is as follows: Growth is a composite of next year's estimate over current year's estimate, e.g. EPS, EBITDA, Revenue. Return is a year one prospective aggregate of various return on capital measures, e.g. CROCI, ROACE, and ROE. Multiple is a composite of one-year forward valuation ratios, e.g. P/E, dividend yield, EV/FCF, EV/EBITDA, EV/DACF, Price/Book. Volatility is measured as trailing twelve-month volatility adjusted for dividends. Quantum Quantum is Goldman Sachs' proprietary database providing access to detailed financial statement histories, forecasts and ratios. It can be used for in-depth analysis of a single company, or to make comparisons between companies in different sectors and markets. GS SUSTAIN GS SUSTAIN is a global investment strategy aimed at long-term, long-only performance with a low turnover of ideas. The GS SUSTAIN focus list includes leaders our analysis shows to be well positioned to deliver long term outperformance through sustained competitive advantage and superior returns on capital relative to their global industry peers. Leaders are identified based on quantifiable analysis of three aspects of corporate performance: cash return on cash invested, industry positioning and management quality (the effectiveness of companies' management of the environmental, social and governance issues facing their industry).

Ratings, coverage groups and views and related definitions Buy (B), Neutral (N), Sell (S) -Analysts recommend stocks as Buys or Sells for inclusion on various regional Investment Lists. Being assigned a Buy or Sell on an Investment List is determined by a stock's return potential relative to its coverage group as described below. Any stock not assigned as a Buy or a Sell on an Investment List is deemed Neutral. Each regional Investment Review Committee manages various regional Investment Lists to a global guideline of 25%-35% of stocks as Buy and 10%-15% of stocks as Sell; however, the distribution of Buys and Sells in any particular coverage group may vary as determined by the regional Investment Review Committee. Regional Conviction Buy and Sell lists represent investment recommendations focused on either the size of the potential return or the likelihood of the realization of the return. Return potential represents the price differential between the current share price and the price target expected during the time horizon associated with the price target. Price targets are required for all covered stocks. The return potential, price target and associated time horizon are stated in each report adding or reiterating an Investment List membership. Coverage groups and views: A list of all stocks in each coverage group is available by primary analyst, stock and coverage group at http://www.gs.com/research/hedge.html. The analyst assigns one of the following coverage views which represents the analyst's investment outlook on the coverage group relative to the group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Attractive (A). The investment outlook over the following 12 months is favorable relative to the coverage group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Neutral (N). The investment outlook over the following 12 months is neutral relative to the coverage group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Cautious (C). The investment outlook over the following 12 months is unfavorable relative to the coverage group's historical fundamentals and/or valuation. Not Rated (NR). The investment rating and target price have been removed pursuant to Goldman Sachs policy when Goldman Sachs is acting in an advisory capacity in a merger or strategic transaction involving this company and in certain other circumstances. Rating Suspended (RS). Goldman Sachs Research has suspended the investment rating and price target for this stock, because there is not a sufficient fundamental basis for determining, or there are legal, regulatory or policy constraints around publishing, an investment rating or target. The previous investment rating and price target, if any, are no longer in effect for this stock and should not be relied upon. Coverage Suspended (CS). Goldman Sachs has suspended coverage of this company. Not Covered (NC). Goldman Sachs does not cover this company. Not Available or Not Applicable (NA). The information is not available for display or is not applicable. Not Meaningful (NM). The information is not meaningful and is therefore excluded.
