The 2024 results of Hutchison Telecommunications (Australia) Limited (ASX: HTA) (“HTAL”) included $160.3 million share of net loss of equity-accounted investments in Vodafone Hutchison (Australia) Holdings Limited (“VHAH”)¹ and TPG Telecom Limited (“TPG”)². Compared to $123.1 million share of net loss in 2023, this represented an increase in share of net loss of $37.2 million.

The movement was primarily driven by a $39.1 million decrease in HTAL’s share of TPG’s results (2024: share of loss of $26.8 million, 2023: share of profit of $12.3 million) and offset by a $1.9 million decrease in HTAL’s share of VHAH’s net finance costs.

The decrease in the share of TPG’s results was primarily attributable to TPG’s recognition of a one-off impairment charge related to decommissioning of sites TPG will cease to use once the Multi-Operator Core Network regional sharing arrangement with Optus Mobile Pty Limited is implemented. The decrease in the share of VHAH’s net finance costs mainly reflected the increase in gain from fair value changes of derivative financial instruments and the increase in interest income from term deposits, partly offset by the rise in the interest rates of VHAH’s borrowings. Further details are included in Note 10 to the financial statements.

HTAL’s loss per share (basic and diluted) for the year ended 31 December 2024 was a $1.41 loss per ordinary share. This compares to a loss per share (basic and diluted) of $0.91 loss per ordinary share for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Notes:

¹ VHAH holds a direct 27.82% interest in TPG. VHAH is a company domiciled in the United Kingdom and in which Hutchison 3G Australia Holdings Pty Limited (“H3GAH”), a wholly owned subsidiary of HTAL, holds a 50% interest.

² HTAL’s 25.05% ownership interest in TPG comprises 11.14% interest directly held by H3GAH and an attributed 13.91% interest indirectly held by H3GAH through VHAH which has a direct 27.82% interest in TPG.
