Keppel T&T's profits slump on poor investments

Keppel’s telecommunications and transportation arm attributed the 13.3 percent drop to poor investments and costs from restructuring.

Group revenue also suffered in 2009, falling by 12% to $113.3 million. The group attributed the fall to a corresponding drop in logistics revenue in Singapore, as well as the winding down of its network engineering business. Revenue from its logistics activities in China continued to show improvement however, and the company has further expanded its business for its data centre.

However, cash flow from its associated companies and subsidiaries increased during the year by 4% to $58.5 million.

The company invested $5 million in net cash over the year, mainly used in acquisitions, in fit-out for its data centre as well as acquiring a stake in an associated company. This was partly offset by dividends received from associated companies.

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.
