Keppel Corp's Infrastructure Division posts 35% decrease in profit

Keppel Corp improved its net profit by 11%, but review of Group performance revealed pre-tax profit from Infrastructure Division fell to $51 million due to lower contribution from EPC contracts.

Prospects are bright, however, for the said Division with Mr Choo Chiau Beng, Chief Executive Officer, saying, “We successfully listed K-Green Trust, a green infrastructure trust that will deliver long term, regular and predictable distribution to unitholders. With an initial portfolio of quality assets in Singapore, K-Green Trust will leverage Keppel’s international network and well-established expertise to seek acquisition opportunities in Asia, Europe and Middle East.”

Keppel Corp’s Unaudited Financial Statements showed net profit attributable to shareholders was $669 million, after taking into account income tax expenses and non-controlling interests. Shareholders will be paid an interim distribution of 16 cents per share as interim dividend increased 7%.

Offshore & Marine Division remains the largest contributor to net profit with 67%, followed by Property Division with 26% and Infrastructure Division with 6%.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
