Keppel Land foresees $719.8m net profit

A net gain of $394m is expected by Keppel Land instead of the $321m reported earlier.

DBS said that Keppel Land has obtained a positive advance tax ruling from the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore, confirming that the gains from the proposed divestment of its stake in MBFC1 is capital in nature and not subject to tax. This would boost the group's book NTA by another 5cts to $2.64. While this news is unlikely to impact RNAV, our FY10 net profit estimates would be revised up to $719.8m to reflect the bigger gain.

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.
