Keppel Infrastructure Trust Q1 profit up 10.9% to $7.5m

This was due to higher contributions from City Gas and lower fees incurred from Basslink's outage.

Keppel Infrastructure Trust's Q1 profit jumped 10.9% from $6.76m to $7.5m, mainly due to higher contributions from City Gas and lower professional fees incurred for the Basslink outage. These were partially offset by higher fair value loss of financial derivative instruments.

According to its financial statement, group revenue grew 3.2% YoY to $160.3m. At City Gas, revenue rose to $82.1m, largely due to higher town gas tariff. City Gas achieved 100% plant availability during the period.

Meanwhile, the concessions contributed revenue of $23.3m, as all four plants fulfilled their contractual obligations during the period.

Basslink’s revenue rose by 7.6% to $22.2m as it recorded positive CRSM. Meanwhile, KMC fulfilled its contractual obligations during the period.

CityNet contributed revenue of $900,000 in Q1 2017. There was no contribution this year as CityNet ceased to be the trustee-manager of Netlink Trust with effect from 13 April 2017.

Distribution per unit (DPU) of 0.93 cents was declared for the quarter ended 31 March 2018.

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.
