Keppel Corp’s net profit up 6% to $360m in Q1

Thanks to a larger chunk of KepLand earnings.

Keppel Corporation reported that its net profit grew 6% year-on-year to $360m in the first quarter, on back of a bigger share of Keppel Land's earnings and the sale of some equity investments.

KepCorp highlighted that while earnings per share grew 6% to 19.8 cents in Q1, return on equity was lower at 12.9% compared to 13.4% a year ago.

Its offshore and marine segment continued to be impacted by lower oil prices, with only $500m worth of contracts booked so far this year.

Meanwhile, its property arm Keppel Land sold 720 homes in Asia in Q1, comparable to that of 2014.

Its infrastructure segment continued to ride on the strong demand for data centres via the newly-listed Keppel DC REIT.

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.
