Keppel Infra Trust sees 17.3% drop in Q1 income, underlying earnings jump

Excluding divestment gains, distributable income rose 18.2%YoY to $53.7m.

Keppel Infrastructure Trust reported distributable income including divestment gains of $53.7m for the first quarter (Q1) ended 31 March, down 17.3% from $65m a year earlier.

Excluding divestment gains, including proceeds from the sale of the remaining stake in Philippine Coastal, which was completed in March 2025, distributable income rose 18.2% year on year (YoY) to $53.7m from $45.5m.

In the second quarter, divestment gains will include gains from the partial divestment of Ventura, the trust reported.

The trust said higher contributions from its energy transition portfolio, including Aramco Gas Pipelines Company, the German Solar Portfolio, and Borkum Riffgrund 2 offshore wind farm, supported performance in the quarter.

Energy transition distributable income increased 19.7% YoY to $46.5m. This included a $5.8m residual cash surplus from Aramco Gas Pipelines Company linked to a capital management exercise completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Environmental services distributable income rose 8.9% YoY to $7.1m, mainly driven by higher contributions from the Senoko waste-to-energy plant.

Distribution and storage distributable income fell 9.7% YoY to $21.3m, mainly due to lower contributions from

Ventura following a partial stake sale and maintenance capital expenditure funded through operating cash flow.

Digital infrastructure contributed $3m in distributable income following the acquisition of Global Marine Group in November 2025.

Net gearing rose to 41.9% as at 31 March, from 38.7% at end-December 2025, mainly due to lower cash balances. Interest coverage ratio improved to 8.6 times from 7.6 times.

The trust said it has secured funding for its FY2026 refinancing requirements, including refinancing of a $663m asset-level loan for Ixom and a $200m seven-year medium-term note issued in April.

Separately, Keppel Infrastructure Trust proposed a follow-on acquisition of additional interests in Keppel Merlimau Cogen Plant for $128.1m. It said the deal is expected to lift FY2025 pro forma funds from operations by 8% to $352m and increase pro forma distribution per unit by 6% to 4.18 Singapore cents.

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.
