Keppel Insfrastructure Trust's profits down 8.6% to $15.5m

But distributable cash flows were up, thanks to City Gas' performance.

Keppel Infrastructure Trust's (KIT) net profits in Q3 fell by 8.6% YoY from $17m in 2016 to $15.5m in 2017.

According to DBS Equity Research, KIT's distribution per unit (DPU) stayed at 93 cents.

Distributable cash flows went up by 4% YoY to $40.5m thanks to the improved performance from City Gas.

DBS analyst Suvro Sarkar said, "City Gas’ cash generation tends to fluctuate from quarter to quarter owing to time lag between adjustments of gas tariffs and changes in underlying fuel costs, but smoothens out over time."

He added that KIT's newest asset Data Centre One contributed higher positive cash flows, as rental rates were renewed in line with existing agreements. Basslink also generated positive funds from operations for the third successive quarter but the Trust does not use these cash flows for distribution purposes, rather for servicing loans.

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.
