Keppel is proposing a final cash dividend of 14 Singapore cents for the fiscal year 2017, 16.7 per cent higher than the 12 Singapore cents declared for 2016. This excludes Keppel O&M's one-off financial penalty and related costs, which the group has said it will ring-fence when considering dividend payouts. This brings Keppel's total distribution for 2017 to 22 Singapore cents per share, 10 per cent up on the 20 Singapore cents per share in 2016.
