I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

KIT: 1Q FY2016 RESULTS HIGHLIGHTS


1.  On 18 May 2015, CitySpring Infrastructure Trust acquired the business undertakings and assets of Crystal Trust (formerly known as Keppel Infrastructure Trust), and was renamed Keppel Infrastructure Trust (“KIT”).

2.  On 30 June 2015, KIT completed the acquisition of a 51% stake in Keppel Merlimau Cogen Pte Ltd (“KMC”) for a purchase consideration of $510 million, which was financed by an equity fund raising exercise. In addition, KMC drew down $700 million in loan facilities as part of the pre-acquisition restructuring. 

Accordingly, KIT’s 1Q FY2016 results do not include any contributions from KMC.

3.  Distribution per unit (DPU) of 0.25 Singapore cents was declared for the period from 29 May 2015 to 30 June 2015(1).

4.  Group revenue for 1Q FY2016 was $114.4 million, 14.2% lower than 1Q FY2015, primarily as a result of lower town gas tariff arising from lower fuel cost and higher negative CRSM payment incurred by Basslink.

5.  Funds from operations (“FFO”)(2) was $22.2 million for 1Q FY2016, compared to $25.0 million for 1Q FY2015. This was due mainly to higher negative CRSM payment and higher interest incurred by Basslink, which were partially offset by contribution from the Crystal acquisition and lower maintenance capital expenditure at Basslink.

6.  Net asset value per unit as at 30 June 2015 increased to 36.3 Singapore cents from 12.3 Singapore cents as at 31 March 2015. 

The increase was due mainly to the Crystal acquisition and the KMC acquisition and mark-to-market gains of derivative instruments, which were partially offset by distributions paid.
7.  Gearing(3) as at 30 June 2015 was 37% compared to 52% as at 31 March 2015 due to lower gearing of the Crystal assets and KMC.
