Keppel T&T Q3 profits down 12% to $11.85m

It was dragged mainly by higher operating costs.

Keppel Telecommunications & Transportation (Keppel T&T) profits in Q3 went down 12% to $11.85m from $13.50m last year. Revenue however went up by 7% to $47.94m from $44.97m.

The Q3 net profit was down due to higher operating costs, which corresponded with higher revenue, as well as the partial disposal of Keppel DC Singapore 4 in Q3 2017, according to its financial statement.

Meanwhile, its revenue increased due to higher data centre facility management income, as well as revenue from warehousing and channel management business, which offset lower revenue from port operations in China, Keppel T&T said.

During Q3, Keppel T&T inked conditional agreements in collaboration with Alpha Data Centre Fund (ADCF) and Indonesian conglomerate Salim Group to embark on its first data centre development in Indonesia.

Keppel T&T will remain invested in M1 and will be part of Keppel Corporation’s initiative to drive the business transformation of M1.

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.
