CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW

Dear Stakeholder

The Group revenue at Rs.21.60 billion for the period under review is a decrease of 32 per cent over the Rs.31.74 billion recorded in the previous financial year.

The Group earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) at Rs.802 million in the first quarter of the financial year 2020/21 is a decrease of 78 per cent over the EBITDA of Rs.3.57 billion recorded in the previous financial year. EBITDA excludes the impact of exchange losses and gains on its foreign currency denominated debt and cash to demonstrate the underlying cash operational performance of the businesses.

The Group profit before tax (PBT) is a negative Rs.2.43 billion in the first quarter of the financial year 2020/21 compared to the Rs.1.36 billion recorded in the previous financial year. The profit attributable to equity holders is a negative Rs.1.66 billion compared to the Rs.994 million in the corresponding period of the previous financial year.

The Company PBT for the first quarter of 2020/21 at Rs.909 million is a decrease of 47 per cent over the Rs.1.72 billion recorded in the corresponding period of 2019/20.

As elaborated in the JKH Annual Report 2019/20, the COVID-19 pandemic was contained in Sri Lanka through the aggressive and proactive measures undertaken by the Government and the relevant authorities, including the imposition of stringent lockdown measures from March till mid-May which proved effective in curtailing the spread of the virus. A possible second wave was well managed with no restrictions in movement for the general public, where contact tracing was done proactively to identify and contain a cluster spread in July. New cases have been restricted to this cluster and health authorities have assured that there are no current indications of community transmission.

As expected, the performance in the quarter under review was significantly impacted and extremely challenging on account of the stringent lockdown measures prevailing for the first one and a half months of the quarter, with the resumption of activity commencing gradually only from mid-May onwards. Given the resultant distortion to the Group’s performance for the quarter, the

Summarised below are the key operational and financial highlights of our performance during the quarter under review:

• Post the easing of the strict lockdown measures from mid-May onwards, the underlying month-on-month performance of the Transportation, Consumer Foods, Retail and Financial Services businesses, displayed a faster than anticipated recovery momentum reaching almost pre COVID-19 levels.

• The proactive cost containment and productivity improvement measures undertaken to strengthen the Group’s financial and cash position from the beginning of the quarter, combined with the recovery momentum in business activity, enabled the Group to record cash profits despite the extremely challenging operating conditions.

• Given the faster than anticipated recovery momentum in business activity and the generation of cash profits by the Group, a first interim dividend of Rs.0.50 per share, amounting to a payout of approximately Rs.659 million, was declared to be paid on or before 28 August 2020.

• The Group’s Leisure business was significantly impacted during the quarter given the suspension of operations of our hotels in April and May on account of the closure of the airports in Sri Lanka and the Maldives and the lockdown measures in Sri Lanka. The Maldivian airport was opened for arrivals in mid-July. While bookings for the next few weeks are low, we are encouraged by strong forward bookings for the peak season of January to April 2021, exceeding the bookings we had for the same time last year. Whilst Sri Lanka is yet to re-open its airport, our hotels in Sri Lanka have now commenced operations where the recovery of domestic tourism has been encouraging.

• The Consumer Foods businesses displayed a faster than expected recovery in volumes post the easing of the lockdown in May. In the month of June, the Frozen Confectionery and Convenience Foods recorded positive volume growth whilst the Beverage business recorded a low single digit decline.

• The week-on-week momentum of same store sales of the Supermarket business displayed signs of recovery.

• The Group’s Bunkering business, Lanka Marine Services, recorded an increase in profitability driven by improved margins despite a reduction in the overall market volumes due to lower throughput in the Port of Colombo.

• Construction resumed at ‘Cinnamon Life’ in mid-May after a 2-month closure and it is encouraging to note that the momentum is gradually reaching pre COVID-19 levels. The Group is working closely with the contractor to ascertain the impact of the COVID-19 disruptions on the overall timelines of the project. The finishing work of the apartment and office towers are being re-sequenced to be completed within the financial year to enable handover.

• The profitability of Nations Trust Bank recorded an increase despite pressure on margins, due to the positive impact on account of the removal of the Debt Repayment Levy from January 2020 onwards.

• Due to the deployment of cash equity to fund the ‘Cinnamon Life’ project, Group profitability for the quarter was impacted by a year-on-year decrease in finance income, as expected.

CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW

ensuing discussion aims to provide an insight to the performance in the month of June, in particular, where economic activity across the country reached levels of near normalcy.

It is pleasing to note that business recovery is reverting to almost pre COVID-19 levels, faster than anticipated, and this momentum is expected to continue if the pandemic remains contained. The Leisure business, however, continues to be significantly impacted given the closure of the airport in Sri Lanka and the high dependency on the recovery of key source markets in particular.

I wish to, once again, recognise the contribution made by those who served in our front lines and played a pivotal role in serving our stakeholders and the people of our country in its time of need. It was truly heartening to see the positive attitude and spirit of all our people during this crisis, where numerous teams ensured that operations continued seamlessly. The Group also initiated a series of measures to strengthen its financial and liquidity position, including cost containment initiatives, such as the reduction in executive staff remuneration, and productivity improvement measures. The proactive implementation of these measures at the very beginning of the quarter supported the Group in maintaining its position of financial strength.

As a token of appreciation to Sri Lanka’s courageous healthcare workers, Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts offered 2,000 complimentary full board room nights at its properties in Sri Lanka. The packages will be distributed based on the nominations received from the Ministry of Health.

As announced to the Colombo Stock Exchange in June 2020, JKH entered into a ten-year financing agreement with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) for US Dollars 175 million to support funding of the Company’s investment pipeline, marking IFC’s largest investment to date in Sri Lanka. The proceeds from the facility will primarily be utilised to fund the Group’s expansion of its supermarkets business, recent investments in hotels in the Maldives and Sri Lanka and for general corporate investments. The pricing on the loan is linked to 6-month LIBOR plus a margin of 380 basis points with a step-down pricing mechanism to a margin of 355 basis

points by March 2024. Based on 6-month LIBOR at the time of signing the agreement, the total margin amounts to 4.21 per cent per annum. The financing facility has a grace period of four years with capital repayments commencing in December 2024. I believe partnering with an internationally reputed financial institution such as IFC, particularly at this juncture of time, is a vote of confidence for JKH and the country at large.

Transportation The Transportation industry group EBITDA of Rs.395 million in the first quarter of 2020/21 is a decrease of 63 per cent over the EBITDA for the first quarter of the previous financial year [2019/20 Q1: Rs.1.05 billion]. The decline in profitability is mainly attributable to the performance of the Group’s Ports and Shipping business, South Asia Gateway Terminals (SAGT). Throughput at SAGT was impacted by the lockdowns in Sri Lanka and also India which affected transshipment volumes, with overall volumes recording a decline in excess of 40 per cent in April. However, post the easing of the lockdown in mid-May and resumption in activity in India, volumes have been on a recovery trend, recording a decline of approximately 20 per cent in June compared to the previous year. Profitability of the Group’s Bunkering business, Lanka Marine Services (LMS), recorded an increase due to improved margins despite a reduction in overall market volumes on account of the reduced vessel movements in the Port of Colombo.

Consumer Foods The Consumer Foods industry group EBITDA of Rs.487 million in the first quarter of 2020/21 is a decrease of 42 per cent over the EBITDA for the first quarter of the previous financial year [2019/20 Q1: Rs.841 million]. The decline in profitability was mainly on account of the steep decrease in volumes across all businesses during the lockdown period. However, post the easing of the lockdown in mid-May, business activity displayed a faster than expected recovery in volumes with the Frozen Confectionery and Convenience Foods businesses recording a positive volume growth in June whilst the Beverage business recorded a low single digit decline. The overall EBITDA of the industry group in the month of June was a growth over the corresponding period of the previous year, reflecting the momentum witnessed.

Retail The Retail industry group EBITDA of Rs.502 million in the first quarter of 2020/21 is a decrease of 52 per cent over the EBITDA for the first quarter of the previous financial year [2019/20 Q1: Rs.1.04 billion]. The Supermarkets business EBITDA of Rs.308 million in the first quarter of 2020/21 is a decrease of 66 per cent over the EBITDA for the first quarter of the previous financial year [2019/20 Q1: Rs.912 million].

Given the classification of the supermarkets as an essential service by the Government during the lockdown period, operations continued, although limited to home delivery during periods of curfew. Revenue was negatively impacted during this period, as most of the outlets remained closed to the public while online sales could not fully offset this impact. With the easing of restrictions on movement, outlets were gradually opened to customers, adhering to the strict safety guideline issued by Government and health authorities. The business has seen a sharp rebound in sales, which is encouraging with footfall gradually recovering close to pre COVID-19 levels. Same store sales growth for the month of June recovered to negative single digit levels compared to the decline of 45 per cent, on average, in the months of April and May. Given the change in the shopping patterns of customers where the frequency and purchase patterns due to consolidation of baskets has changed, the statistics on footfall and basket values are distorted in the short term.

In July, the business revamped its online platform enabling a more diverse offering and real-time stock availability, amongst other, to enable a faster and better shopping experience. The business will continue to focus on an omni-channel strategy to cater to different customer segments and needs. Three outlets were opened in the month of July bringing the total count to 111 outlets. The business will continue to evaluate opportunities to selectively expand its outlet network.

Despite the challenging operating conditions, the Office Automation business recorded a strong performance on account of improved margins in the mobile segment and better working capital management.

3

Leisure The Leisure industry group EBITDA of a negative Rs.1.46 billion in the first quarter of 2020/21 is a significant decrease over the EBITDA for the first quarter of the previous financial year [2019/20 Q1: negative Rs.336 million].

As elaborated in the JKH Annual Report 2019-20, Sri Lanka and the Maldives witnessed the imposition of stringent measures to control the transmission of COVID-19, and, as a result closed its airports for arrivals. The Sri Lankan airport remains closed to date whilst the Maldives airport was opened in mid-July.

Due to the restrictions in movement, the Group decided to suspend operations of its hotel properties in Sri Lanka and the Maldives during the month of April and May, thereby saving on overheads and other expenses. The Sri Lankan resort hotels and the City hotels opened to the public from June onwards, under stringent safety guidelines issued by the Government post the easing of the lockdown, with the exception of ‘Hikka Tranz by Cinnamon’ which was earmarked for a structural repair prior to the outbreak of the pandemic. Similar to several other countries, the gradual resumption of domestic travel has been encouraging in the Sri Lankan resorts segment. ‘Cinnamon Dhonveli Maldives’ re-commenced operations in mid-July whilst the remainder of our Maldivian hotels will be gradually opened over the ensuing weeks. Whilst the performance of the Leisure business will largely depend on resumption of regional and global travel, it is encouraging to witness strong forward bookings for the winter season, demonstrating the ‘pent up’ demand for leisure travel should restrictions on travel ease.

PropertyThe Property industry group EBITDA of negative Rs.29 million in the first quarter of 2020/21 is a decrease of 162 per cent over the EBITDA for the first quarter of the previous financial year [2019/20 Q1: Rs.47 million]. The decline in profitability is mainly on account of the performance of the mall operations which were significantly impacted as a result of the pandemic.

The construction sites of both ‘Tri-Zen’ and ‘Cinnamon Life’ were closed with the imposition of curfew for two months

from March 2020 until mid-May. Both sites commenced work, as permitted under the relevant Government directives. Although the labour strength and productivity at ‘Cinnamon Life’ is yet to reach pre-lockdown levels it is encouraging to note a gradual improvement in manpower and productivity. The business is working closely with the contractor to ascertain the impact of COVID-19 on the overall timelines of the project to manage deliverables. The finishing work of the apartment and office towers are being re-sequenced to be completed within the financial year to enable handover. The funding of ‘Cinnamon Life’ is in place with the unutilised component of the committed syndicated loan facility and availability of funds earmarked for the project at the parent company level.

Financial ServicesThe Financial Services industry group EBITDA of Rs.537 million in the first quarter of 2020/21 is an increase of 23 per cent over the EBITDA for the first quarter of the previous financial year [2019/20 Q1: Rs.436 million]. The profitability of Nations Trust Bank PLC recorded an increase despite pressure on margins, due to the positive impact on account of the removal of the Debt Repayment Levy from January 2020 onwards. Whilst the performance of Union Assurance PLC was impacted in the month of April and May, the business witnessed a strong recovery in its gross written premiums in the month of June.

Other, Including Information Technology and Plantation ServicesThe Other, including Information Technology and Plantation Services industry group EBITDA of Rs.371 million in the first quarter of 2020/21 is a decrease of 24 per cent over the EBITDA for the first quarter of the previous financial year [2019/20 Q1: Rs.489 million]. The decrease in profitability is attributable to the decline in interest income on account of lower cash and cash equivalents at the Holding Company due to the planned equity infusions to fund the ‘Cinnamon Life’ project. The Plantation Services sector recorded an improvement in profitability as a result of an increase in tea prices and a reversal of a bad debt provision at John Keells PLC. The Information Technology sector recorded a growth in profitability driven by increased digital adoption by clients in the current environment.

Sustainability Initiatives The Group’s absolute carbon footprint and water withdrawal reduced by 25 per cent and 2 per cent to 17,077 MT and 412,632 cubic meters respectively, mainly due to the lower levels of operational activity, particularly in the Leisure and Supermarket businesses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the higher than proportionate reduction in revenue resulted in the Group’s carbon footprint per million Rupees of revenue increasing by 10 per cent to 0.80 MT and water withdrawal per million Rupees of revenue increasing by 44 per cent. Group employees were provided with approximately 4 hours of training per employee, whilst 14 occupational injuries were reported this quarter.

Corporate Social Responsibility Following are some of the highlights of the John Keells Foundation’s (JKF) work during the quarter under review.

• JKF, together with Group businesses, continued to support efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and resumption of livelihoods and schools through the following initiatives:

> Donation of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) to the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Teaching Hospital at the Kotelawala Defense University, Homagama Base Hospital, Neluwa Base Hospital and Hinidiuma Base Hospital.

> Installation of handwashing units in schools and public offices in the John Keells Praja Shakthi locations of Colombo 2 and Ranala.

> Supporting the police station in Colombo 2 to disinfect 5 schools.

> Upskilling and linking unskilled and semi-skilled labour opportunities to local communities in Colombo 2.

• The English Language Scholarship Programme commenced online classes in 11 locations. 697 students are currently engaged in the online and study pack programmes.


CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW

• JKF launched the following new initiatives to support the livelihoods of identified groups towards enhancing their overall product/service offerings and income opportunities in a post-pandemic environment:

> `Skill into Progress (SKIP)’ – Upskilling of identified supplier groups of the John Keells Group. A pilot programme for chauffeurs and safari jeep drivers from Colombo and Yala to enhance industry-related English communication skills.

> #KeepItSafe campaign - A series of videos on food safety and hygiene developed by JKF with the support of Chefs from Cinnamon Hotels and Resorts for the upskilling of small entrepreneurs engaged in catering services in Colombo 2.

• Under Project WAVE, JKF initiated online awareness on gender-based violence and child protection during the lockdown period reaching a total of 5,356 persons. JKF is also in the process of developing an e-module for its ongoing awareness among Group staff.

• The Gratiaen Trust (GT), in association with JKF as primary sponsor, conducted three online events with its shortlisted candidates.

• Under JKF’s sustained sponsorship support, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Sri Lanka (MMCA) commenced activities through digital platforms, including moving its ‘One Hundred Thousand Small Tales’

exhibition online, conducting a series of consultations with translations scholars and editors to create an open access translation toolkit and undertaking studio visits online with three artists as part of livelihood development of artists.

DividendGiven the resumption of economic activity to levels of near normalcy and the rebound of our Group businesses, with the exception of Leisure, your Board declared a first interim dividend of Rs.0.50 per share to be paid on or before 28 August 2020. This reflects the positive outlook the Group has in the current circumstances for its portfolio of businesses and the generation of cash profits in the Group, despite the impacts on the Leisure business on the overall performance of the Group. The Group will follow its dividend policy which corresponds with growth in profits, whilst ensuring that the Company maintains adequate funds to ensure business continuity given the prevailing unprecedented circumstances.

4 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND GROUP'S ACCOUNTING POLICIES

4.1 Basis of Preparation The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended 30 June 2020 have been prepared in accordance with LKAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2020.

The presentation and classification of the financial statements of the previous period have been amended, where relevant, for better presentation and to be comparable with those of the current period.

The interim condensed financial statements are presented in Sri Lankan Rupees (LKR) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

4.2 Fair value measurement and related fair value disclosures As of 31 March 2020, all the listed equity instruments valued at fair value through profit or loss, amounting to LKR 2,870 Mn were transferred from level 1 to level 2 since as at 31 March 2020 as it showed factors which were indicative of an inactive market due to COVID-19 pandemic and determined the fair value of equity portfolio as of 31 March 2020, based on the closing traded prices that existed as of 31 December 2019.

However, by 30 June 2020, investor sentiment has improved slightly, providing tailwind to the market's recovery and Sri Lanka eases out of lockdown, triggering a relaxation of Sri Lanka's stock market. Therefore, all the listed equity instruments were measured based on the market prices as at 30 June 2020 and LKR 2,260 Mn were transferred back from Level 2 to Level 1 since there was an active market.
