Stable group EBITDAF and operating earnings
EBITDAF was stable year‑on‑year at HKD 25.7 billion; operating earnings before fair value movements decreased marginally by ~2% to about HKD 10.6–10.7 billion, showing underlying resilience.
Strong Hong Kong performance
Core Hong Kong earnings rose ~7% to just over HKD 9.5 billion; completed smart meter rollout, maintained world‑class supply reliability despite record Black Rainstorms and 14 typhoons; electricity demand from data centers remains a growing structural driver.
Healthy cash generation and balance sheet
Free cash flow increased by HKD 1.6 billion to HKD 22.6 billion; available liquidity around HKD 29 billion; successfully raised over HKD 17 billion debt for Hong Kong SoC, with S&P and Moody's reaffirming investment‑grade ratings and Moody's upgrading EnergyAustralia outlook to positive (Baa2).
Dividend increase maintained
Board recommended total dividends of HKD 3.20 per share for FY2025, an increase of 1.6% versus 2024, reflecting confidence in cash flow and capital discipline.
Progress on low‑carbon growth and commissioning
Group non‑carbon capacity rose ~3% driven by renewables and batteries; commissioned the largest wind farm to date on the Chinese Mainland, launched first independent battery storage and second centralized control centre in Shandong; Apraava (India) fully commissioned 251 MW Sidhpur wind farm; Wooreen battery JV delivered a positive contribution (HKD 390 million booked following 50% JV with Banpu).
Capital allocation and transformation milestones
Capital investment declined 13% to HKD 16.4 billion (higher growth CapEx offset by absence of 2024 HQ acquisition); completed Phase 1 ERP rollout in Hong Kong and advanced enterprise transformation at EnergyAustralia to drive future cost efficiency.
Strong cash receipts and subsidy support
Received a record amount of renewable energy subsidies on the Chinese Mainland, boosting cash flow; fuel cost recovery and declining fuel prices supported SoC cash generation in Hong Kong.
Development pipeline and disciplined growth strategy
Pipeline remains healthy (China >1 GW pipeline; Apraava ~2 GW under development and targeting 9 GW by 2030); CLP signalled disciplined, value‑over‑volume approach and plans for onshore financing and clean energy funds to self‑fund growth.
