Keppel T&T profits crash 81.7% to $12.79m in Q3

Rightsizing in its Logistics Division pulled revenues down.

Keppel Telecommunications & Transportation Ltd's (Keppel T&T) profits plummeted by 81.7% to $12.79m in Q3.

According to its financial statement, revenue in Q3 fell by 3% to $45m, due to weaker warehousing revenue in its Logistics Division.

Keppel T&T also lost revenue after it disposed of its 90% and 50% stake in Keppel DC Singapore 3 Pte Ltd and Keppel DC REIT Management Pte Ltd in January 2017 and July 2016, respectively.

Operating profit also crashed by 95% to $3.2m, no thanks to the disposal of subsidiaries and higher expenses and manpower to support the developments in its data centre business.

Keppel T&T said its Logistics Division is rightsizing and optimising resources.

The company has also decided not to proceed further with the strategic review on their respective shareholdings in M1.

"The Group will continue to seek opportunities and make strategic investments in accretive assets and explore opportunities to unlock value and recycle capital," Keppel T&T said.

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.
