Keppel’s net profit soars to a record high of $4.1b in FY23

The company said its FY23 net profit is its highest in history.

Keppel recorded its highest-ever net profit in FY23 of $4.1b. Compared with FY22’s record of $927m, Keppel’s net profit more than quadrupled.

Keppel attributed its improved net profit to the $$3.3b disposal gain from the divestment of its offshore and marine (O&M) business.

“Return on Equity (ROE) was 37.9% in FY23, compared to 8.1% in FY22,” the company reported.

Meanwhile, the company’s net profit from continuing operations was also higher in FY23, rising 19% YoY to $996m, excluding the discontinued O&M operations in both years and loss from the distribution in specie of Keppel REIT units.

“All three horizontal segments – Infrastructure, Real Estate and Connectivity – were profitable in FY23, with Infrastructure’s net profit rising sharply by 135% YoY to $699m bolstered by the integrated power business,” Keppel reported.

“Despite challenging conditions in markets like China, the Real Estate segment continued to perform creditably and contributed a significant $426m to FY23’s net profit,” the company added.

Given its record-breaking net profit, Keppel proposed a final cash dividend of $0.19 per share, bringing its total cash dividend to $0.34 per share for FY23.

“[The] total FY23 distribution will reach about $2.70 per Keppel share, comprising cash and in-specie distributions of then Sembcorp Marine shares] and Keppel REIT units,” added Keppel.

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.
