Tigerair’s net loss soared 18.5% to $264m in FY15

Altered accounting policies are to blame.

Tigerair’s net loss grew 18.5% to $264m in FY15, dragged mainly by a series of changes to its accounting policies.

These changes include an increase in maintenance charges of $12.8m, as well as additional aircraft depreciation charges of $14.3m.

The group also reported that its Q4 results sank back into the red after the group managed to turn in a profit in the third quarter.

Tigerair booked a net loss of $18.8m in Q4, down 80.3% year-on-year compared to a net loss of $95.5m in the same period last year.

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.
