Chairman's Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
For the year 2017, CITIC Limited recorded a profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of HK$43.9 billion compared with HK$43.1 billion in 2016. A non-cash impairment charge of HK$7.2 billion on the Sino Iron project in Western Australia negatively impacted the company’s profit. The board recommends a final dividend payment of HK$0.25 per share, giving shareholders a total dividend of HK$0.36 per share for the year 2017, 9% more than last year.
