SIA Engineering's net profit crashes 81.8% to $36.2m

Due to the lack of divestment gains it recorded last year.

SIA Engineering Company's earnings for the quarter ending in June crashed by 81.8% to $36.2m, down from the $198.4m net profit it recorded last year.

According to the group, last year's net profit was boosted by a gain from the divestment of its 10% stake in Hong Kong Aero Engine Services to Rolls-Royce Overseas Holdings Limited and Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company Limited.

Excluding the impact of the divestment, profit for the quarter would have only been 4.7% lower.

For the said quarter, its revenue of $272.8m was 0.4% higher than last year's $271.6m.

Meanwhile, its expenditure decreased by $18.5m or 6.8% to $254.7m, mainly due to a provision made in the same quarter last year for the estimated increase in the profit-linked component of staff remuneration arising from the gain on divestment, based on profitability-related key performance indicators. Operating profit for the current quarter amounted to $18.1m, $19.7m higher compared to the operating loss of $1.6m last year.

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.
