Keppel Offshore & Marine's profit sank 56% to $331m

Orderbook drawdown is also slower.

According to DBS, stripping out impairment charges, fair value and divestment gains, core net profit was S$331m (-56% y-o-y), making up 21% of consensus’ full year estimates.

O&M orderbook drawdown appears slower than expected probably due to timing of recognition of projects.

Here's more from DBS:

However, we are cheered by the O&M operating margins, which expanded for a second consecutive quarter to 14.1%, from the trough of 12.9% in 3Q12.

We believe margins could revert to 15% by FY14 on productivity gains and a pick up in contribution from higher-margin conversion projects.

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.
