International postage costs drag SingPost's domestic e-commerce gains

E-commerce-related activities accounted for 55% of total revenue.

Singapore Post Limited reported positive results during the first half of 2021, with net profits increasing by 19% to $37.4m in the first half of FY2022.

Postal revenue and operating profit fell to 17.5% and 52.6% year-on-year (YoY) respectively, dragged down by the international postal segment (-26.6% YoY). However, the robust growth from domestic e-commerce revenue (+32% YoY) offset the decline.

Logistics revenue and operating profit went up to 29.6% and 184.4% YoY, respectively, as freight forwarding revenue skyrocketed 63.3% YoY because of congested global supply chains.

In line with the current positive performance, UOB Kay Hian forecasts a 1% to 5% increase in earnings for FY2022 to FY2023 due to larger freight management holdings earning estimates.

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.
