Keppel Land Reports Q3 Net Profit Of S$82m

Source : Channel NewsAsia, 23 October 2007

Keppel Land on Tuesday said its third-quarter net profit has more than doubled on-year as a result of strong residential sales.

Net profit came in at almost S$82 million.

This compares with S$38.5 million in the year ago period.

Meanwhile, revenue jumped by almost 50 percent to S$382 million.

This is due to improved returns from property trading in Singapore, China and India.

Keppel Land's sales were also supported by a new project in the Chinese city of Shanghai.

The property firm said it expects to book a profit of more than S$221 million from selling a one-third stake in its One Raffles Quay building to K-Reit. - CNA/ms
