SATS profit down 11.3% to $40.1m in the second quarter

There were lower cargo volumes handled by SATS’ gateway services associates in Hong Kong and Vietnam.

A company announcement said SATS’ share of profits of associated and JV companies declined 16.4% to $13.3 million.

This consequently affected profit attributable to equity holders despite revenue growth of 32.3% to $424.2 million as a result of higher revenue contributions from both gateway services and food solutions businesses.

Group operating expenditure rose 35.7% to $378.9 million, with TFK accounting for nearly 80% of the increase. As a result, SATS earned an operating profit of $45.3 million, up 9.7% year-on-year.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
