OREANDA-NEWS. March 17, 2011. The profit attributable to shareholders for 2010 was HKD 38,252 million, compared to HKD 21,893 million in 2009, reported the press-centre of Swire Pacific.

Underlying profit attributable to shareholders, which principally adjusts for changes in the valuation of investment properties, increased by HKD 7,668 million to HKD 16,143 million. Excluding the effect of non-recurring items, underlying profit attributable to shareholders increased by HKD 2,743 million to HKD 11,099 million.

The 2010 results benefited from a very strong performance from the Cathay Pacific group and continued growth in profits from the Property Division. Profits also increased in the Trading & Industrial Division. Profits fell in the Beverages and Marine Services Divisions and were little changed at Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company Limited (“HAECO”).
