<p>新世界發展（NWD）——這家由香港最富有的家族之一擁有的困境中的房地產開發商——週四股價下跌，此前該公司承認在處置一個大型購物中心項目和引入新投資者的計劃上沒有取得任何進展。該股在香港一度下跌 4.7%，隨後收窄部分損失，以每股 8.95 港元收盤，下跌 4.3%。恒生指數當天基本保持不變。NWD 仍在與香港機場管理局進行談判，尋求與 11 Skies 相關的合同變更——這是一個位於香港國際機場的 200 億港元（26 億美元）購物中心——但開發商在週四的交易聲明中表示，談判尚未取得成果。根據聲明，該公司尚未達成任何潛在投資。“集團將根據正常的業務流程管理與貸方的融資安排，並且不知曉重設集團融資條款的任何截止日期，” NWD 在聲明中表示。今年，NWD 的股價波動劇烈，因反覆出現的猜測和媒體報道該公司將引入新投資者以緩解其財務壓力並改善資產負債表。直到週三，該股今年迄今已上漲 29%，媒體報道稱美國資產管理公司黑石集團正在考慮對 NWD 進行 25 億美元的投資。但彭博社週三援引未具名消息人士報道，黑石在經過一年的談判後已退出該交易，因為開發商拒絕放棄控制權。億萬富翁鄭家純的家族持有 NWD 約 45% 的股份。與此同時，《南華早報》週三報道稱，香港機場管理局已從 NWD 接管了 11 Skies 的零售空間，引用了知情人士的話。該項目原定於去年全面開業。《南華早報》去年報道，機場運營商與 NWD 進行了談判以收回該項目。根據報道，談判的關鍵障礙在於潛在的賠償問題，NWD 已同意根據其原始的 40 年合同每年向管理局支付 18 億港元的保證租金。NWD 的澄清讓那些希望這家負債累累的房地產開發商迅速扭轉局面的投資者感到失望，該公司近年來一直積極通過債務重組和資產處置來降低槓桿。過去一年，該公司通過物業處置和銷售籌集了約 350 億港元。根據其財報，截至 12 月底，公司總債務已減少 17 億港元，降至 1443 億港元。截止 12 月的六個月期間，淨虧損縮小了 44%，降至 37.3 億港元，投資物業的減值有所緩解，涉及大陸項目的融資和税費支出下降，報告稱。</p>

<p>新世界發展（NWD）的股價下跌了 4.3%，原因是該公司承認其 11 Skies 購物中心項目和新投資者計劃沒有進展。與香港機場管理局的談判仍未解決，潛在投資也未能落實。此前，NWD 的股價因市場對黑石集團（Blackstone）25 億美元投資的猜測上漲了 29%，但該投資已被撤回。該公司一直在減少債務，並報告了過去六個月淨虧損 37.3 億港元，比去年改善了 44%</p>

<p>Shares of New World Development (NWD) – the beleaguered property developer owned by one of Hong Kong’s richest families – fell on Thursday, after the firm acknowledged it had made no progress on plans to dispose of a mega shopping centre project and introduce new investors. The stock tumbled by as much as 4.7 per cent in Hong Kong, before paring some of the losses to close 4.3 per cent lower at HK$8.95. The Hang Seng Index remained largely unchanged for the day. NWD was still in talks with Hong Kong Airport Authority to seek contractual changes related to 11 Skies – a HK$20 billion (US$2.6 billion) shopping centre within Hong Kong International Airport – but the negotiations had yet to produce results, the developer said in an exchange statement on Thursday. The firm has also not yet sealed any potential investments in the company, according to the statement. “The group will manage its financing arrangement with lenders as part of the group’s ordinary course of business, and is not aware of any deadline for resetting the group’s financing terms,” NWD said in the statement. NWD’s shares have swung wildly this year amid recurring speculation and media reports that the company would introduce new investors to alleviate its financial stress and improve its balance sheet. Until Wednesday, the stock was up 29 per cent so far this year, as media reported that US asset manager Blackstone was eyeing a US$2.5 billion investment in NWD. But Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing unidentified sources, that Blackstone had pulled out of the deal after a year-long negotiation, because the developer refused to give up control. The family of billionaire Henry Cheng holds about 45 per cent of the interest in NWD. Meanwhile, the South China Morning Post reported on Wednesday that Hong Kong Airport Authority had taken over the retail space in 11 Skies from NWD, citing people familiar with the matter. The project was supposed to fully open for business last year. The SCMP reported last year that the airport operator was in talks with NWD to take back the project. The key sticking point in the negotiations was over potential compensation, according to the report, with NWD having agreed to pay the authority HK$1.8 billion in guaranteed rent annually under its original 40-year contract. The clarification by NWD poured cold water on investors who had hoped for a quick turnaround of the indebted property developer, which has been actively reducing leverage through debt restructurings and asset disposals in recent years. It has raised about HK$35 billion through property disposals and sales over the past year. The company’s total debt had declined by HK$1.7 billion to HK$144.3 billion by the end of December, according to its earnings report. Net losses for the six-month period ending in December narrowed by 44 per cent to HK$3.73 billion, with impairments on investment properties easing and financing and tax expenses related to mainland projects falling, it said.</p>
