(1) Distribution to Unitholders is based on 100% of the taxable income available for distribution.(2) Information for YTD Sep 2014 includes the contribution from Prudential Tower, which was divested on 26 September 2014. In 4Q 2014, Keppel REIT acquired a one-third stake in Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 3. As such, the financial information for 2Q 2015 has also been provided to give a more meaningful comparison of Keppel REIT’s performance quarter-on-quarter since the portfolio of properties are the same over the two periods.(3) The yield is based on the market closing price per unit of $0.955 as at the last trading day, 30 September 2015.(4) The yield is based on the market closing price per unit of $1.190 as at the last trading day, 30 September 2014.

Steady returnsKeppel REIT Management, the Manager of Keppel REIT, has achieved higher distributable income of $54.4 million for 3Q 2015 and $163.2 million for year to date 2015, which are 4.6% and 1.8% above those of the corresponding periods in 2014 respectively. Quarter-on-quarter, the Manager also achieved sustained levels of distributable income.

The improved distribution income was due largely to better performance from Ocean Financial Centre, Bugis Junction Towers and 8 Chifley Square in Sydney. The Manager has declared a Distribution per Unit of 1.70 cents for 3Q 2015, which translates to an annualised distribution yield of 7.2%.

During the quarter, the Manager increased its fixed-rate loans to over 70%, which will insulate against interest rate fluctuations and at the

same time allow for operational and financial flexibilities. The Manager’s disciplined capital management approach saw Keppel REIT’s average cost of debt remain constant at 2.5%, with interest coverage ratio at a healthy 4.4 times.

In keeping with ongoing efforts to reduce volatility and provide greater certainty over future income distributions, the Manager has also hedged almost 100% of distribution payment from Australia up till 1Q 2016.

Keppel REIT’s weighted average term to maturity remained stable at 3.6 years. The Manager continued to maintain low refinancing obligations as at end-September 2015, with close to 100% of Keppel REIT’s total borrowings not due for repayment till 2017.

To-date, the Manager has concluded a total of 82 leases or approximately 1.1 million sf of office space, with approximately 43% or 470,000 sf (34 leases) committed in 3Q 2015. This brought overall portfolio occupancy to 98.5% as at 3Q 2015.

The Manager continued to intensify its lease management efforts to retain and secure tenants. These efforts saw a high tenant retention rate of 90% for its Singapore assets in 3Q 2015.

The Manager has also completed 100% of all leases due for review and almost all leases due for renewal in 2015. With this, approximately 70% of total leases are not due for renewal till 2018 and beyond.

Despite the challenging leasing market sentiments, the Manager has achieved a positive rent reversion averaging 16% for office leases signed, renewed and reviewed to-date. The Manager also continues to maintain a healthy weighted average lease expiry of approximately 8.5 years and 6 years for its top 10 tenants and overall portfolio respectively.

Looking ahead, the Manager will continue to intensify its tenant retention and engagement efforts to support occupancy and rental rates, while maintaining a well-staggered lease expiry profile for sustainable and resilient returns.

Opening the doors to a new Inya WingSedona Hotel Yangon marked the soft opening of its new Inya Wing on 1 October 2015, in a ceremony graced by Myanmar’s Minister of Hotels and Tourism, H.E. U Htay Aung.

Designed by award-winning Singapore firm, Forum Architects, and renowned hospitality design firm, Studio HBA, the new 29-storey Inya Wing features an additional 431 well-appointed guest rooms and suites, along with a grand lobby with a high-end retail gallery connecting the new tower to the existing building.

The interiors of the Inya wing feature traditional Burmese art and materials which are infused with modern Asian influences. The traditional Burmese umbrella is a key motif that runs throughout the new wing, starting with the magnificent lighting centrepiece in the main lobby and the fritted glass ceiling.

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Ng Ooi Hooi, President of Regional

Investments at Keppel Land, the owner of Sedona Hotel Yangon, said, “Today, we open the doors to exciting new experiences as we raise the benchmark for hospitality in Myanmar, building on the good reputation and track record of Sedona Hotel Yangon.”

H.E. U Htay Aung said, “As Myanmar’s growth progresses on track, we are heartened that leading international developers like Keppel Land are expanding and upgrading their hospitality developments to meet the growing needs of tourists. Tourist arrivals in Myanmar are estimated to reach five million in 2015, and surpass seven million by 2020.

“Apart from its hospitality business, we are heartened that Keppel Land is also bringing its experience and expertise in developing prime office developments to Yangon in collaboration with the Shwe Taung Group. I am confident that the new office tower in the Junction City

development will be another significant landmark in Downtown Yangon,” he added.

Sitting majestically on eight acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, Sedona Hotel Yangon is a 20-minute drive away from the international airport and the bustling city centre.Within close proximity to the famous Shwedagon Pagoda and Inya Lake, this deluxe five-star hotel in Yangon impresses with its local ethnic decor and architecture. The existing hotel wing features 366 newly-upgraded guest rooms and suites along with several dining options, executive club rooms and a fitness centre with a swimming pool, sauna and steam bath.

Inya Wing is linked to the existing hotel block via a specially-designed connector comprising a new retail arcade and an elevated podium that houses a terrace which features a swimming pool, fitness centre and an all-day restaurant.

ECO-COLLABORATIONS

On the same day, China’s Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (MOHURD) and Singapore’s Ministry of National Development (MND) inked a memorandum of understanding to expedite the implementation of four projects in Sino-Singapore Eco-City, including a prototype city for water resources management, smart city development, a green building demonstration base and a garden project.

Strengthening ties with Tianjinof sustainable development through the four projects. For instance,the prototype city for water resources management would serve as a testbed for improving urban water environment and water security while the smart city development project will allow for bilateral cooperation in several areas, including construction planning as well as capacity development in information technology.

The efforts in constructing a green building demonstration base will help Sino-Singapore Eco-City achieve its goal of 100% green buildings. Both parties also agreed to collaborate in the planning and design of the garden project, which will incorporate innovative ideas from Singapore.

In addition, the Eco-City Administrative Committee (ECAC) and Tianjin Eco-CityInvestment & Development Co., Ltd. (TECID) inked agreements with Singapore’s National Library Board, Singapore Food Manufacturers' Association as well as the Bank of China (Singapore branch) for the development of a library and commodity city, as well as the provision of financial support in Sino-Singapore Eco-City.

BOOSTING RMB BUSINESS

During the JCBC meeting, it was announced that the existing cross-border Renminbi (RMB) initiatives between Singapore and China-Singapore Suzhou Industrial Park as well as Sino-Singapore Eco-Citywould be expanded to beyond the two projects to the rest of Suzhou and Tianjin. The move would not only give more financing options to corporations and businesses in those cities, but provide financial institutions and investors in Singapore additional avenues to deploy their growing RMB liquidity in Singapore.

In addition, qualifying privately-owned banks in Sino-Singapore Eco-City would be allowed to borrow from Singapore-based banks. This would lend support to the development of privately-owned banks in the Sino-Singapore Eco-City and allow such banks in the city to establish commercial relationships with banks in Singapore.

Eco-partnershipKeppel Land WATCO, the Keppel Land- led joint venture company behind Saigon Centre in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), signed an agreement with Philips Lighting Vietnam on 22 September 2015 to retrofit the lighting system of Saigon Centre Phase 1, a mixed-use development located in District 1 of HCMC, on a zero capital expenditure (capex) scheme. This is the first such initiative in Vietnam and follows a similar agreement signed between Philips and Keppel Land in Singapore a year ago.

Under the zero capex scheme, Keppel Land and its joint venture partners will upgrade their current conventional lighting system in the common areas of Saigon Centre Phase 1 to light-emitting diode (LED) lighting with no upfront capital investment required. Payment will be

Vietnam, to upgrade the current conventional lighting system in the

common areas of Saigon Centre (pictured right) Phase 1 to LED lighting

made via instalments using the savings from reduced energy consumption achieved through the operation of the new lighting system.

This initiative is part of Keppel Land’s commitment to engage and promote green practices among tenants.

Mr Linson Lim, President, Keppel Land (Vietnam), said, “As a responsible green developer, we are committed to design, build and operate properties that are in harmony with the environment and enhance the quality of life of the communities where we operate.

“This agreement with Philips is a stride forward in our green journey as we do our part to reduce our carbon footprint. The zero capex model not only allows us to acquire a new lighting system without any

upfront cost, we will also be able to achieve long term savings from reduced energy consumption and operating costs.”

Mr Eric Benedetti, GM of Philips Lighting Vietnam, said, “With the zero capex cooperation model, Philips will be able to help Keppel Land and property owners apply the most innovative lighting technology without any concern of an investment cost upfront.”

With the lighting replacement, the 30 office tenants at Saigon Centre can expect a new lighting ambience with improved visual comfort. The LED lights will have longer lifespan of up to 50,000 hours or over 10 years, and will save approximately 50% more energy compared to current lighting solutions, which is equivalent to about US$34,000 per annum.

Exemplifying its commitment to make a positive impact to the environment, the tri-generation plant at Keppel REIT’s 8 Chifley Square in Sydney, Australia, was highlighted by GRESB as a showcase of green innovation (see story on page 18).

At the same time, the follow-on fund by Alpha Investment Partners’ Asia Macro Trends Fund (AAMTF) has been ranked fifth out of 11 entities in Asia in the diversified sector. AAMTF II has also been awarded the ‘Green Stars’ status, an improvement from its previous ‘Green Walk’ status in 2014. AAMTF I was awarded the ‘Green Stars’ status last year.

This is based on the GRESB Quadrant Model where companies are scored against their peers and rated either ‘Green Starters’, ‘Green Walk’, ‘Green Talk’, or ‘Green Stars’.

The GRESB survey this year saw submissions from a total of 707 listed and unlisted property companies and private equity real estate funds in Asia and globally. GRESB assesses companies on their integrated organisational approach and performance in environmental measurement and management.

SPURRING GREEN INNOVATIONS

Keppel Land displayed its continued support of initiatives to green the built environment by coming in as a Gold Sponsor of the International Green Building Conference (IGBC) held at Marina Bay Sands. The Company has been a strong supporter of the Conference since 2011.

Organised by the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore (BCA), the conference, held from 2 to 4 September 2015, saw over 1,000 participants from over 30 countries convene to share best practices on greening the built environment.

As a proponent of environmental education, Keppel Land also supported the Building Energy Efficiency Solutions Students’ Competition as a Platinum Sponsor. The competition aimed to challenge students to think of energy efficient solutions for the built environment. Keppel Bay Towers and Marina Bay Financial Centre Towers One and Two were case studies for the competition.

Said Mr Tan Swee Yiow, President (Singapore) of Keppel Land, “At Keppel Land, we strive to positively impact and contribute to communities wherever we operate. A competition like this is a good platform for us to nurture our younger generation and spur them on to produce innovative solutions for the building industry.”

Raffles Quay Asset Management, the property manager for Marina Bay Financial Centre and One Raffles Quay, was also a sponsor of the competition.

ECO LEADER

For his consistent and significant contributions towards a sustainable built environment, Mr Paul Lau, GM of

Projects (Singapore) at Keppel Land, was awarded the Green Building Individual Commendation Award.

Organised by the BCA and the Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC), the awards seek to motivate the green workforce to constantly challenge themselves to develop innovative solutions for the green building sector.

"In keeping with our proactive approach towards environmental management and protection, we spare no effort in incorporating sustainable initiatives in our properties, where feasible. The certifications from PUB are testament to our efforts and will spur us in our sustainability journey.”

An eco-icon, Ocean Financial Centre features a myriad of sustainable and innovative green applications. These include the harvesting of rainwater for irrigation of rooftop gardens, recycling of condensate water for the cooling tower and the use of water-efficient tap fittings, all of which contribute towards overall savings of 42 million litres of water annually, which can fill 17 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

The building also boasts one of the world's largest vertical green walls, the size of which is equivalent to eight tennis courts. The green wall features an automatic drip irrigation system to ensure minimal maintenance.

At the Marina Bay Financial Centre integrated development, which Keppel REIT co-owns, the management ensures efficient water usage with advanced water-leak detection and monitoring systems. Technical staff are trained to monitor water consumption and analyse the data collected. Tenants are also educated on water saving measures through circulars and seminars conducted by water efficiency management consultants.

Separately, Ocean Financial Centre was lauded for its efficient energy

management practices at the ASEAN Energy Awards 2015, held in conjunction with the 33rd ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on 6 October 2015. The building was named the winner in the Large Green Building category.

The annual awards aim to promote regional cooperation on projects relating to energy efficiency and sustainability.

Thinking Unboxed

Keppel Land launched its brand refresh exercise in 2013 to communicate the Company's efforts in upholding the Keppel quality hallmark, which is thoughtful innovations for thoughtful experiences.

The brand tagline, “Thinking Unboxed”, is not new to Keppel Land as innovation is ingrained in its culture. Driven by the commitment to deliver the highest standards of design, function and enjoyment, Keppel Land constantly challenges itself to think and see things from a different angle, as it continues to create live-work-play environments of enduring value for the community.

While the launch campaign featured the Company’s award-winning properties in Singapore, the latest campaign, unveiled on 19 October 2015, features Keppel Land’s customers as its brand ambassadors.

Michael von Schlippe, President of Indochine Media, is the face of Reflections at Keppel Bay; Roy Teo, acclaimed Singapore-based interior designer and founder of The Mill Group of Companies, stars for Marina Bay Financial Centre; and BNP Paribas provides endorsement for Ocean Financial Centre.

Mr Albert Foo, GM, Marketing, Keppel Land, said, "We were delighted that our customers so readily agreed to be featured. It shows that our properties have lived up to our brand promise."

Green energy“excess” electricity generated to another property. This allows the plant to operate at a higher capacity over longer periods, improving efficiency, minimising material use and redundancy and providing low carbon electricity to other buildings, which in turn greatly reduces overall carbon emissions.

On average, the tri-generation plant at 8 Chifley Square produces 22,599 kWh of electricity every week, or approximately 1.18 million kWh per annum, enough to power about 7,320 homes in Australia for a year.

The use of onsite generation rather than grid-based electricity has also resulted in a reduction of 1,234 tonnes of carbon dioxide, the equivalent of emissions emitted by a car travelling over six million km.

The tri-generation technology is recognised under Australia’s Green Star Design as a carbon and demand reduction initiative. This has gained 8 Chifley Square additional credits for its 6-star design and as-built ratings, and supports its goal of a 5-star energy rating under the National Australian Built Environment Rating System.

Ms Ng Hsueh Ling, CEO of Keppel REIT Management, said, “At Keppel REIT, we believe that resource efficiency is not only our responsibility, but also makes good business sense.

“In line with our commitment to embrace sustainability, 8 Chifley Square is testament to how we can leverage innovative technology to achieve real cost savings while making a significant positive impact on our environment.”

In keeping with Keppel REIT’s commitment towards sustainability, 8 Chifley Square in

Sydney features some of the latest in green technology, including the tri-generation plant

In Sydney, Australia, buildings contribute over 50% of the city’s greenhouse gas emissions. Traditional buildings are powered by coal-fired power stations that produce around 80% of Sydney’s electricity.

In contrast, a tri-generation plant generates electricity onsite using a gas engine, which is twice as efficient as coal-fired power stations and reduces carbon emissions by approximately 40%. The generation efficiency is further enhanced by the utilisation of waste heat for heating and chilled water generation via an absorption chiller.

A highly efficient energy technology, the tri-generation system is one of the largest decentralised energy networks in the world. As electricity is produced onsite, near where it is used, there is no need to transport electricity over long distances. It can replace coal-fired electricity and reduce overall emissions from buildings.

The tri-generation plant at Keppel REIT’s 8 Chifley Square comprises a 400 kWMWM TCG 2016 V8 natural gas engine connected in parallel to the grid. The engine is coupled to a 255 kWBroad exhaust fired absorption chiller that is fully integrated into the building’s air conditioning, chilled and condenser water systems. Additionally, the tri-generation plant can produce 212 kW of heating for use by the building’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.

The tri-generation plant operates only during periods of high demand. During off-peak periods when the building requires lesser energy, electricity can still be purchased from the grid to ensure the building achieves the optimal environmental and financial efficiency.

The plant is the first of its kind in Sydney that is able to export

Asia’s first ‘Fish Friendly Marina’In recognition of its continued commitment to environmental sustainability, Marina at Keppel Bay has been accredited as Asia’s first ‘Fish Friendly Marina’ by the Marina Industries Association (MIA), the peak body representing the marina industry in Asia-Pacific. The MIA’s ‘Fish Friendly Marinas’ program recognises marinas which actively work to improve the habitat of marine life within its waters.

Mr Andrew Chapman, President of the MIA, formally presented the award to Mr Trevor Fong, Head of Marina Management of Keppel Land Hospitality Management and GM of Marina at Keppel Bay, at the MIA Singapore and South East Asia Regional Meeting on 15 September 2015.

The ‘Fish Friendly’ status is an add-on accreditation for marinas with ‘Level 3 Clean Marina’ accreditation, for which Marina at Keppel Bay has been twice accredited.

Mr Fong shared, “Through our City Reef project, an initiative to conserve underwater biodiversity and encourage the appreciation of marine life, Marina at Keppel Bay is home to a thriving marine community today. We are heartened to be recognised by MIA as the first ‘Fish Friendly Marina’ in Asia. The accreditation is testament to our continued efforts in nurturing an environmentally-friendly marina and advocating eco-friendly practices to boat owners.”

Marina at Keppel Bay, with its clean waters and high standards of

environmental stewardship, is now the first ‘Fish Friendly Marina’ in Asia.

Its City Reef project has helped the marina set the benchmark in eco-

friendly marina management. Some of the fish species found in the marina

include butterfly fish and clownfish(inset photos)

Separately on 19 October 2015, Marina at Keppel Bay hosted a group of 30 participants, comprising largely officials from China, under the Masters in Public Administration and Management programme from the National University of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy. They were briefed on the transformation of Keppel Bay, as well as treated to a glimpse of Asia’s first ‘Fish Friendly Marina’.

Eric Cheng first began his career in Keppel Land China as the marketing manager for Central Park City in Wuxi. That was followed by three years in the marketing department at the Company’s headquarters in Shanghai, before he moved on to head Keppel Land’s Waterfront Residence project in Nantong. Eight years later, he has come full circle and is back on familiar ground – but now with bigger responsibilities – as Keppel Land China’s city head for Wuxi.

Eric admits that the beginning was tough. “Even though I am a local Chinese, I wasn’t born in Wuxi. My staff came from diverse backgrounds, each with his own working style. I had to understand how they think, get used to their working habits and at the same time motivate them to continue improving themselves,” he said.

Born and raised in the vibrant, face-paced metropolis of Shanghai,

Coming full circle in WuxiEric had to adapt to the slower pace of life in Wuxi, where he found there was a greater emphasis on family and bonding.

“My approach is to become friends with my staff. Spending time with them after work, having meals and playing sports together have helped foster strong bonds that carry through to the workplace. I make it a point to understand their points of view and listen to their suggestions. When they know that their views are taken seriously, they develop a sense of belonging to the company which inspires them to put in their best.”

Being a Singaporean company, there are differences in how Keppel Land functions compared to a local Chinese company. After eight years, Eric has a deep understanding of Keppel’s culture and core values and is well-equipped to impart this understanding to his team.

“Local developers and suppliers usually do not place the same emphasis on safety as we do at Keppel. I have to explain that safety is Keppel’s core value and why we do not take chances. Being a local Chinese helps me communicate these messages to our stakeholders clearly.”

With his wife and two children residing in Shanghai, it is a two-hour drive from Wuxi for Eric to see his family on weekends. However, the job satisfaction he gains makes the sacrifice worth it.

“At Keppel Land, we are given ample opportunities to grow and achieve our career aspirations. My combined experiences have prepared me to take on leadership roles within the company, and helped me to grow, not just professionally but personally as well.”
