Keppel T&T full-year net profit rose 14% to S$63.2m

Data centre division led FY2013 surge.

Keppel Telecommunications & Transportation (Keppel T&T) has announced its full year FY2013 results, with net profit attributable to shareholders increasing by 14% to $63.2 million.

Group revenue amounted to $161.7 million, climbing 18% compared to the previous year due mainly to higher revenue from Data Centre and Logistics Divisions.

Operating profit at $33.3 million improved by 32% due mainly to better performance from Data Centre Division and increase in other income.

But in the Logistics Division, the China logistics operations reported lower profits due to start-up and implementation costs of newly developed projects.

Profit before taxation of $83.0 million increased by 11% compared to $75.2 million in 2012. This improvement was due to higher operating profit and better performance from associated companies, partly offset by higher interest expense.

After taking into account taxation and non-controlling interests, the Group’s net profit attributable to shareholders increased by 14% to $63.2 million.

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.
