HONG KONG - CK Infrastructure Holdings Limited (CKI) reported a 1% increase in profit attributable to shareholders for the first half of 2025, reaching HK$4,348 million amid global economic uncertainties.
The company declared an interim dividend of HK$0.73 per share, representing a 1.4% increase compared to the same period last year. The dividend will be paid on September 24, 2025, to shareholders on record as of September 11.
CKI’s United Kingdom (TADAWUL:4280) infrastructure portfolio was the standout performer, with profit contribution rising 19% to HK$2,223 million, driven by higher contributions from Northumbrian Water, gas distribution networks, and UK Power Networks.
The Australian infrastructure portfolio saw an 8% decrease in profit contribution to HK$793 million, affected by weakening foreign exchange and lower contribution from Energy Developments due to contract expirations and lower electricity prices.
Continental Europe operations delivered a 3% growth in profit contribution to HK$432 million, while the Canadian portfolio experienced a 9% decline to HK$275 million, primarily due to lower power generation and prices from Canadian Power’s Alberta units.
The company maintained a strong financial position with HK$4.7 billion in cash on hand as of June 30, 2025, and a net debt to net total capital ratio of 10.6%. Standard & Poor’s reaffirmed the Group’s credit rating of "A/Stable."
In July 2025, CKI and its partners entered an agreement to divest UK Rails, with the transaction expected to complete within a few months, subject to certain conditions.
"Despite headwinds in the macro environment, there are growth and expansion opportunities," said Victor T K Li, Chairman of CKI, in a statement based on the company’s press release.
