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.

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.
