Keppel T&T's profits slump on poor investments

Keppel’s telecommunications and transportation arm attributed the 13.3 percent drop to poor investments and costs from restructuring.

Group revenue also suffered in 2009, falling by 12% to $113.3 million. The group attributed the fall to a corresponding drop in logistics revenue in Singapore, as well as the winding down of its network engineering business. Revenue from its logistics activities in China continued to show improvement however, and the company has further expanded its business for its data centre.

However, cash flow from its associated companies and subsidiaries increased during the year by 4% to $58.5 million.

The company invested $5 million in net cash over the year, mainly used in acquisitions, in fit-out for its data centre as well as acquiring a stake in an associated company. This was partly offset by dividends received from associated companies.

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.
