What Wharf (Holdings) does

Property and hotel group holding Wheelock's legacy assets, mainland China projects and Marco Polo hotels, after spinning off Wharf REIC.

Earns from selling homes, with profit recognized only when finished flats are handed over to buyers, so reported earnings lag sales and swing with the number of projects completed in a year. Hotels and leased property add smaller recurring income.

In one line: The residual property/hotel holding company after Wharf's mall spinoff.
