Keppel's net profit falls sharply by 92% YoY to $304m in H1 2024

Excluding legacy O&M assets, net profit from continuing operations would be 7% YoY higher.

Keppel suffered a 92% year-on-year (YoY) drop in its net profit in H1 2024, falling to $304m.

Data from its latest financial statement showed that its net profit fell, consistent with a 13% YoY decrease in revenue to $3.2m and a 12% YoY reduction in operating profit to $506m.

If the effects of its legacy offshore and marine (O&M) assets, which expanded losses to $209m, were excluded, net profit from Continuing Operations would be 7% higher YoY at $513m.

Excluding legacy O&M assets, the company's earnings per share (EPS) would be 5% higher YoY at $0.282. Including the legacy O&M assets, EPS would be 33% lower YoY at $0.167.

During the period, Keppel experienced a decline in real estate contributions. Nonetheless, the stronger earnings in the Infrastructure and Connectivity segments more than offset this decline.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
