SIA net profit slides nearly 69% in Q3 on absence of one-off gain

The group recorded a 25.9% increase in operating profit to $792m.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) Group reported its net profit fell 68.9% to $505m in the third quarter of 2025/26 financial year due to the absence of a $1.1b non-cash accounting gain from the 2024 merger of Air India and Vistara.

The group recorded a 25.9% increase in operating profit to $792m and 5.5% rise in revenue to $5.5b during the year. 

This was, however, offset by higher spending, with group expenditure rising 2.7% to $4.71b, mainly driven by a $77m increase in non-fuel expenditure and $48m higher net fuel cost. 

The group said the share of losses from associated companies increased by $163m to $178m as it recognised a full-quarter share of Air India’s losses this year compared with only one month a year earlier.

Basic and diluted earnings per share reached 16.1 cents and 16 cents, respectively.

SIA expects sustained demand for air travel in the final quarter of the financial year, though cargo performance remains subject to trade and geopolitical developments.

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.
