ADDRESS BY KEPPEL CORPORATION LIMITED’S
CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, LOH CHIN HUA
AT THE 1H 2012 RESULTS PRESENTATION
THURSDAY, 19 JULY 2012 Group Financial Highlights (Slide 9) 1. 1H12 Financial Performance (Slide 10)
Thank you, Chiau Beng. A very good evening to all of you. Net profit for the first half hit a record S$1,272 million, driven largely by the lumpy profits arising from the delivery of Reflection units sold under the Deferred Payment Scheme (DPS). As residential units sold under the DPS has mostly being delivered, profits for the second half of the year is likely to revert to normal. Earnings per share grew at 81 per cent to 71.0 cents. Annualised ROE increased to 22.4% while our EVA expanded to S$1,052 million.
Cash outflow was lower than the year before at S$103 million, and resulted mainly from working capital changes. Net gearing moved up to 0.21 from 0.16 at end of 2011. In view of the Group’s strong performance, we are declaring an interim dividend of 18 cents per share, up from 17 cents in the prior period.
2. Financial Highlights (Slide 11)
All key line items registered significant improvement over the previous year. The growth in EBITDA and profits were at a higher rate than revenue because of higher margins from the Property Division and higher investment profits.
1
3. Revenue by Segments (Slide 12) Revenue was higher in all divisions. Offshore & Marine Division posted an increase of 60% in revenue as a result of higher volume of work. Infrastructure Division recorded a slight increase in revenue attributed to higher retail prices and contract load, partly offset by lower revenues recognised from KIE’s Engineering, Procurement and Construction (“EPC”) contracts. Property revenue rose more than 2-fold as we continue to witness the lumpy revenue recognition from the sale of Reflections units under the Deferred Payment Scheme.
4. Pre-tax Profit by Segments (Slide 13)
Offshore & Marine Division showed a modest increase from the previous year, as a result of lower prices of new builds. For the Infrastructure Division, there was a dip in pre-tax profit. Better performance at Keppel Merlimau co-gen plant was offset by lower contribution from KIE. In Property, we recorded more than 200% growth in profitability due to robust margins from our sales of Singapore residential projects.
5. Net Profit by Segments (Slide 14)
The largest contributor to net profit came from the Property Division which increased its profit by 4-times to S$569 million. Offshore & Marine Division recorded a smaller 2% improvement, contributing 38% of the Group’s net profit. Earnings from Investments were higher due to sale of investments.
2
6. Consistent Earnings Growth (Slide 15)
Both the Group’s net profit and earnings per share for the first half have surpassed that of the full year 2009 and are almost equal to financial year 2010. With the delivery of a significant bulk of Reflections units sold under DPS, this level of profits will not be repeated in the second half.
7. ROE & Dividend (Slide 16)
For the past 5 years, we achieved return on equity of above 20%. For the first half of 2012, our annualised ROE is 22.4%. In line with our increased earnings, we are rewarding our shareholders with a higher interim dividend of 18 cents, as compared to 17 cents last year.
8. Free Cash Flow (Slide 17)
Cash flow from operations was a robust $1.7 billion for the first half of the year. This was $0.7 billion above the previous year. With higher working capital requirement in Offshore & Marine and Property, the resultant net cash from operating activities amounted to S$389 million. The Group spent about S$600 million on acquisitions and capital expenditure. This included the capital expenditure for the expansion of Keppel Merlimau Co-generation plant, investment in associated companies and other operational capex. The resultant cash outflow was S$103 million for the first half of the year.

Business Review & Outlook (Slide 18)
1. Offshore & Marine (Slide 19)
1.1 Rising Rig Utilisation (Slide 20)
The high rig utilisation bodes well for our Offshore & Marine Division. The utilisation of our proprietary design rigs continues to outperform the industry average. This further reinforces our conviction to focus on research & technology and, to be the provider of choice and partner for solution for the offshore and marine industry.
1.2 Continued Jackup Replacement Cycle (Slide 21)
The rate for scrapping of jackups in the last 20 months has outpaced all of that in the previous 15 years. With the average age of the jackup fleet exceeding 25 years and a requirement for safer and higher specification rigs, we expect this pace of scrapping to continue. We expect the newly delivered jackups and those under construction to be readily absorbed into the market.
1.3 New Orders Secured (Slide 22)
Our ‘Near Market, Near Customer’ strategy has paid off well as our yards in various locations have successfully secured orders from customers globally including Brazil, USA, Mexico, North Sea and Kazakhstan. We have secured new orders to date of S$2 billion and this does not include the US$4.12 billion LOI from Sete Brasil.
1.4 Quality Deliveries (Slide 23) The successful deliveries made by Offshore & Marine in the first half of this year are testament to the Division’s commitment and focus on product quality and strong project execution. Our robust net orderbook of S$7.6 billion, with deliveries extending to 2015, demonstrates our strong standing in the market.
4
2. Infrastructure (Slide 24)
2.1 Focused On Execution (Slide 25) Keppel Energy continues to deliver positive results from its Cogen plant. KIE’s EPC projects are making progress towards completion. The development of Keppel T&T’s first port project along Yangtze River in Wuhu and the international logistics park in Jilin is on track. When completed, both projects are expected to enhance our earnings.
2.2 Positioning For Growth (Slide 26) The expansion of the Keppel Merlimau cogen power plant is progressing well and on schedule for completion by 2013 while Keppel Integrated Engineering continues to pursue opportunities in its target markets. Securus Data Property Fund’s recent acquisition of an 80% stake in a data centre at Cyberjaya further expands its footprint in the region.
3. Property (Slide 27)
3.1 Resilient Home Sales (Slide 28) Despite the cooling measures, we continue to see fairly robust demand for well located sub-urban homes in Singapore. Over 190 residential units, primarily from our suburban development, The Luxurie, were sold in the first half of the year. In the overseas market, despite similar policy headwinds, home ownership aspiration remains strong. We sold over 800 homes in the first half primarily from our township developments in China and Indonesia.

6
3.2 Expanding Commercial Portfolio (Slide 29)
Phase 2 of our Marina Bay Financial Centre is completed. Occupancy has reached a creditable 70%. Together with MBFC Phase 1 and the Ocean Financial Centre, we command approximately 260,000 sm of new office space in the Central Business District of Singapore. We now have more than 400,000 sm of office, retail and serviced apartments under development in prime city centre locations in the region.
.
3.3 Growing Fee-based Business (Slide 30)
Our fee-based fund management business continues to produce good results with total assets under management of S$15.1 billion. KReit continues to make DPU accretive acquisitions and has improved the average committed occupancy of its prime office portfolio to 97%. Alpha continues to make selective and attractive investments, whilst harvesting some of its existing holdings to produce good returns for its investors.
4. Outlook (Slide 31)
As our CEO has pointed out, the world economy and financial markets remain in a state of flux. How do we position ourselves in such an environment? We need to continue to execute well, and focus our attention on markets and businesses where we have proven core competence. With the credit markets still open and still relatively benign, the Group has issued a total of S$900 million of long dated bonds under our various MTN programs since the beginning of this year. We have diversified our source of funding and lengthened our weighted average maturity of our loan book from 35 months to 52 months. Committed lines have also been secured from some of our lenders. We are well placed to fund our working capital requirements, continue to make the necessary investments in our existing businesses such as R&D and productivity improvements. We will also maintain sufficient liquidity and balance sheet capacity to take advantage of good opportunities that may emerge in our core businesses and their close adjacencies. We remain steadfast in our goal to produce good sustainable profits for our shareholders.
