Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd., which was due to announce its earnings to the Hong Kong stock exchange around noon Wednesday, said the numbers will be available around 4:30 p.m. instead. The company was to report financial results for the six months through June during the noon to 1 p.m. trading break. In an emailed response, a spokeswoman didn’t elaborate on the reasons for the delay. The airline also postponed its press conference in Hong Kong to 4:30 p.m., a South China Morning Post reporter tweeted. Chief Executive Officer Rupert Hogg may report a loss of HK$1.2 billion ($153 million) for the six months through June, the median in a Bloomberg survey of three analysts showed. That would potentially put Cathay on course for the first back-to-back annual losses in its 70-year history. The Hong Kong company last month warned of a “disappointing” first-half. Cathay’s shares traded at HK$11.70 as of 2:57 p.m. in the city, up 0.9 percent, after paring earlier gains of as much as 1.7 percent.
