KPTT's FY14 core net profit of S$72m exceeded our expectations, at 112% of our full-year forecast. This was mainly due to acquisition fees earned by KPTT through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Keppel DC REIT Management. Due to the one-off gain recognised from the sale of its data centre assets, a special DPS of 11.5 Scts was declared, bringing total DPS to 15 Scts (implying a 10% dividend yield).
We trim our FY15-16 EPS by 2-3% to account for:
