KIT posts 27.7% increase in distributable income for Q1

It was driven by new acquisitions and strategic capital recycling.

Keppel Infrastructure Trust (KIT) reported a 27.7% increase in distributable income to $65m for the first quarter of 2025, up from $50.9m in the same period last year.

The growth was driven by contributions from new acquisitions and strategic capital recycling.

After adjusting for the gain on the divestment of Philippine Coastal (-$19.5m), KIT’s Q1 2025 distributable income stands at $45.5m. For Q1 2024, distributable income was $66.8m after adjustments for growth capex, upfront financing fees, and performance fees.

KIT also announced plans to acquire a 46.7% stake in Global Marine Group (GMG), a leading subsea cable service provider, from Keppel Infrastructure Fund (KIF).

The acquisition, expected to be highly accretive, will increase KIT’s distributable income per unit (DPU) by 3.5% for FY 2024 and establish its presence in the digital infrastructure sector.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
