Extracted from China Everbright Water Limited Annual Report 2025 and checked against the cited pages; see the original report for full context.
Group and parent company or bank figures are labelled separately. Parentheses indicate negative amounts; a dash and NA retain the report’s notation.
Comparative figures follow China Everbright Water Limited Annual Report 2025, including retrospective adjustments. Adjusted and reported earnings may have different definitions; refer to each statement’s notes.
Amounts are in HKD thousands; EPS is in Hong Kong cents. Equity-holder, perpetual-capital-holder and non-controlling interests are separate. The original English associates line reports losses; the adjacent Chinese wording is inconsistent and does not change the signed amounts.
Group and Company amounts are in HKD thousands. Perpetual capital instruments are presented in equity, separately from ordinary equity holders and non-controlling interests. Cash in the balance sheet includes restricted bank balances; the cash-flow definition excludes them.
Cash-flow balances exclude restricted bank deposits: FY2025 balance-sheet cash HKD 2,315,393 thousand less restricted HKD 73,679 thousand equals cash-flow cash HKD 2,241,714 thousand. Ordinary dividends, perpetual-capital distributions and non-controlling-holder dividends retain separate classifications. Split opening-parenthesis tokens are joined with explicit original-word evidence.
Rotated original equity tables retain all 11 components. Asterisks identify reserve accounts and are removed only from numeric cells with explicit source normalisation. Ordinary dividends, perpetual-capital redemptions and distributions, and non-controlling-owner movements remain separate.
Five-year comparisons follow the original FY2025–2021 order. Non-current liabilities are negative in the five-year summary because they are deducted from assets less current liabilities. EPS is in Hong Kong cents; other amounts are HKD thousands.
Note 12 dividends for FY2025 include the proposed final dividend of 4.22 HK cents / 0.69 Singapore cents, subject to AGM approval and unrecognised as a year-end liability. Prior-year final dividends paid during FY2025 and FY2024 are separately presented. HKD translated declared amounts differ from cash paid; original figures are retained.
Group cash includes HKD 73,679 thousand of restricted balances held for construction payments and pledged guarantees; cash-flow cash excludes them (Note 25).
Bank loans in FY2025 are denominated in RMB. Variable rates are 1.88–3.50% (FY2024: 2.40–3.43%), fixed bank-loan rates 2.35–3.35% (2.96–3.35%), and fixed bond rates 1.78–3.20% (2.67–3.20%). Secured facilities use revenue, contract assets, trade receivables and intangible assets as collateral. Certain facilities require covenant compliance and restrict subsidiary dividends; the Group reports no defaults (physical pages 260–261).
These tables show the available extracted figures. The original annual report contains the full statements, notes and definitions.
