SIA cargo profits narrow core net loss: CGS CIMB

It narrowed net loss by 44% year-on-year in the second half of 2022.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) narrowed its core net loss by 44% to $268m in the second half (H2) of 2022 year-on-year on the back of stronger cargo profits and a lower share of associate losses, capital market firm CGS CIMB said.

Within H2 2022, SIA enjoyed a small core net profit of $28m in the third quarter of 2022 but it reversed into a core net loss of $296m in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The third-quarter core net profit was achieved due to extremely strong cargo profits which benefited from the seasonal December peak but cargo profits weakened quarter-on-quarter into the fourth quarter amidst the Chinese New Year holiday in February and the strict lockdowns in China from March.

Whilst demand for air travel from April to June 2022 looks good because of the reopening of borders, CGS CIMB sees cost escalation to dampen the upside brought about by the oil price increase as geopolitical tensions arise.

SIA net losses

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.
