SIA Engineering’s net profit falls flat at $41.7m

It was dragged down by mounting operating losses.

Singapore Airlines’ engineering arm felt the sting of rising staff costs as its net profit went unchanged on back of an operating loss of $1.6m.

According to a report by UOB Kay Hian, the operating losses stemmed from staff costs arising from the firm’s EL gain.

“Excluding the provision, operating profit would have fallen 6% yoy to S$19.7m. In addition, SIAEC continues to guide for a challenging environment,” the report said.

Meanwhile, SIAEC’s revenue also fell by 2.1% due to lower fleet management revenue, caused by the transfer of the business to associate BAPAS, a partnership between SIAEC and Boeing.

“Under the terms of the partnership, BAPAS would have handled the fleet management of the SIA Group’s B777 aircraft. SIAEC however indicated that line maintenance and airframe maintenance revenue increased,” the report noted.

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.
