SIA Engineering profit up 4.1% to over $269m

Results included a write-back of tax provision of $3.1 million arising from a change in the tax rules relating to an overseas associated company.

SIAEC Group said it posted a profit attributable to owners of the parent of $269.1 million for the financial year ended 31 March 2012, an increase of $10.6 million or 4.1% over last year.

Meanwhile share of profits from associated and joint venture companies was $12.5 million or 8.7% higher at $156.9 million, representing a contribution of 51.8% to the Group’s pre-tax profits.

Revenue grew by $63 million or 5.7% to $1,169.9 million. This was primarily contributed by higher fleet management programme revenue with an increase in fleet size, more airframe and component overhaul work and a cabin interior reconfiguration project for four B777-300.

Expenditure at $1,040.3 million was $69.1 million or 7.1% higher, mainly due to higher subcontract and staff costs to support the increase in workload.

The resulting operating profit of $129.6 million was $6.1 million or 4.5% lower compared to previous financial year.

Basic earnings per share was 3.3% higher at 24.56 cents.

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.
