ST Engineering net profit up 20% in H1

Revenue for the period also rose 7%YoY to $5.92b.

Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd (ST Engineering) posted a 20% increase in net profit for the first half of 2025, reaching $403m compared with $337m a year ago.

The group’s revenue rose 7% year-on-year to $5.92b, with EBITDA increasing 11% to $871m and EBIT climbing 15% to $602m.

Excluding the impact of a weaker US dollar against the Singapore dollar, revenue would have grown 8%, while the effect on net profit was negligible.

In the commercial aerospace segment, revenue grew 5% to $2.35b, supported by higher Engine MRO and Nacelles sales, whilest EBIT rose 18% to $223m due to improved margin mix and cost savings.

Defence & Public Security revenue increased 12% to $2.65b, with EBIT up 13% to $367m, and Urban Solutions & Satcom revenue remained flat at $921m, though EBIT improved to $12m from $9m.

Tariff impacts on results were minimal, and $34m in commercial aerospace revenue was deferred to the second half, below prior expectations.

ST Engineering secured $9.1b in new contracts in the first half, including $4.7b in the second quarter, bringing its order book to $31.2b at 30 June 2025, with about $5b expected to be delivered in the remainder of the year.

The board has approved a 2Q2025 interim dividend of 4.0 cents per share, payable on 5 September 2025.

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.
