COMPANY UPDATE KEPPEL: INDUSTRY FUNDAMENTALS STILL STRONG
Keppel Corpora on remains upbeat about its offshore and marine (O&M) business despite falling oil prices and oversupply in the jack‐
up market. With sound fundamentals and a strong order book, Keppel is op mis c that demand for oil and jack‐ups will remain strong in the longer‐term even though falling oil prices have had a nega ve impact on the group's share price recently. Vol (mil): 1,406.6 / Val (S$ mil): 985.4

Loh Chin Hua, CEO of Keppel, explained that although fears of a short
‐term surplus in oil supply outstripping demand growth amid an uneven global recovery have led to the recent fall in oil prices, they have not altered the sound industry fundamentals, even though he acknowledged that this has had an adverse impact on the group's share price. Keppel posted Q3 net profit of S$414 million on Tuesday, 9.5 per cent lower than the S$458 million earned during the same period last year mainly due to lower profit contribu on from its property division, offset by higher earnings from its O&M and investment businesses. Although nega ve sen ments in the sector have also emerged as a result of expenditure cuts by interna onal oil companies (IOCs), declining dayrates and an imminent large number of deepwater and jackup rigs coming out into the market next year, Mr Loh said that deple ng reserves and an ageing fleet ensure that the industry fundamentals are s ll strong. At the same me though, he pointed out that the na onal oil companies (NOCs), steered by governments to drive growth, con nue to raise their expenditure and are making up for the shor all in the spending by the IOCs. Keppel's O&M division has secured year‐to‐date about S$3.7 billion worth of new contracts, with a net orderbook of S$12.7 billion stretching into 2019. For the first nine months of the year, net profit was $1.16 billion, compared to the amount earned for the same period last year. Earnings per share decreased by 1 per cent to 63.9 Singapore cents. Group revenue of $9.36 billion for the nine months was $576 million or 7 per cent above last year, boosted by increased revenue from its O&M business.
