The interim dividend of the company was HK 14 cents per share, representing a steady increase of 16.7% YoY.

Focus on core business, promising in direct drinking business

The core business of the company maintained stable development. The revenue from water supply business was 3.59 billion HKD, which increased by 17.4% year-on-year excluding the impact of fluctuations in RMB. The CAGR of the company's water supply business in the past 6 years has reached 20% to 30%. Rising prices and volumes brought stable growth to the company. As of September 2019, the company's comprehensive daily capacity was 14.81 million tons/day, of which the existing capacity was 8.92 million tons/day, 2.08 million tons/day under construction and 3.81 million tons/day planned. The increasing water supply capacity from M&A is 130,000 tons/day, and the organic growth water supply capacity is 165,000 tons/day. After the period, the newly acquired water supply capacity was 231,000 tons/day, and there will be multiple expansion projects. Regarding the increase in water price, the price of tap water in Jingzhou, Jiangling and Anxiang has been significantly increased, and the treatment price of four sewage treatment projects including Wannian and Fenyi have also been increased. The number of water supply units increased by 700,000, exceeding 5.4 million in total. In addition, the company cashed out 240 million HKD by disposing of non-core assets to further strengthen the development of its main business. It is expected that the disposable non-core assets will exceed 500 million HKD in the near future.

In terms of direct drinking water business, in February 2019, the company with Orix and Toray formed Jiangxi Yinli Direct Drinking Water Equipment Co., Ltd. to actively expand the direct drinking water business. During the period, the company added more than 140 direct drinking water projects and realized revenue of 27.27 million HKD, of which water sales income was 5.68 million HKD and connection income was 17.05 million HKD. As of September, the total population of direct drinking water services was close to 500,000. We believe that the company focuses on the development of core water supply business, and develops two core strategies around the integration of urban and rural water supply and supply and drainage integration. It promotes the growth of its main business through acquisition of high-quality projects and upgrading of existing projects. At the same time, it will accelerate the expansion of value-added services such as secondary water supply and direct drinking water, and pilot intelligent water services to deploy an intelligent pipe network system to seize future strong performance growth points.
