- Keppel Infrastructure Trust (KIT, SGX:A7RU) recorded distributable income of S$87.6m in 1H22, down 13% y-o-y and 4% q-o-q, even as core EBITDA (excluding one-offs) grew 10% to S$172.6m.
- The lower 1H22 distributable income was largely due to City Energy (previously City Gas) numbers being impacted as a result of the timing differences in the fuel price pass through gas tariff mechanism. This will be recovered through higher gas tariffs in future.
