SingTel insists Optus satellite business is 'profitable, discrete, strong'

Each satellite is likely worth A$2b.

According to Nomura, there has been a lot of press recently on potential sale of Optus satellites. Management stated that no decision has yet been made.

Valuation will be key, which the management will assess relative to its earn-out potential and capex investment.

Here's more from Nomura:

Optus satellite is a profitable, discrete and a strong cashflow businesses (~80% margins we estimate). There are currently 5 satellites in the orbit and it is launching one more soon (each satellite costs about AUD250-300mn we understand).

We estimate Optus satellites could be around AUD2bn in value.

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.
