Tiger Airways profits face erosion

Despite Tiger Airway's increase of 32% in sales, Phillip Securities expects profits to erode.

In particular, the soaring Jetfuel costs of US$106.5 could dampen profits of the company. The average Jetfuel price for the quarter which is US$98.9/bbl is 18% higher than the same period a year ago (US$83.6/bbl), according to Phillip Securities.

The negative effects would be reduced by the strengthening of SGD against USD. Consequently, Phillip Securities forecast pre-hedging fuel costs of S$65mn for the quarter. For the quarter, they expect a breakeven at profit before tax for Tiger Airways.

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.
