SIA Engineering’s net profit down 3.7% to $176.6m in FY16

Due to lower contributions from associates.

SIA Engineering Company reported that its full-year net profit slipped 3.7% to $176.6 million, on back of lower revenue and a decrease in share of profits from associated and joint venture companies.

The group's full-year revenue dorpped by 0.7% to $1.11 billion, on back of lower airframe and component overhaul revenue which was mitigated by higher line maintenance and fleet management revenue. Overall expenditure dropped by 2.7% to $28.3 million on back of lower subcontract and staff costs.

Meanwhile, share of profits from associated and joint venture companies dropped 11.4% to $94.2 million. Contributions from the engine repair and overhaul centres dropped by 25% to $50.7 million 25.0%, mainly due to lower work content on the engines serviced by Singapore Aero Engine Services.

SIAEC also recognized a $4.3 million loss on the closure of an associated company, and made a $2.5 million provision for impairment for another associated company.

The group has declared a final ordinary dividend of 8 cents per share. Together with the interim dividend of 6.0 cents per share paid earlier, the total dividend payment for FY16 will be 14.0 cents per share.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
