Singtel net profit rises fivefold in FY2025

 The growth was driven by a net exceptional gain of $1.55b.

Singtel’s FY2025 net profit rose fivefold to $4.02b, driven by a net exceptional gain of $1.55b from the partial divestment of its Comcentre headquarters, compared to a net exceptional loss a year ago.

Underlying profit grew by 9% to $2.47b, driven by robust performances from Optus, NCS, and regional associates Airtel and AIS.

Optus’ operating revenue rose by 1%, driven by improved mobile performance and good cost management, whilst NCS’ operating revenue increased by 5%, led by Gov+ business growth on the back of demand for cloud, data, and digital services. 

Digital InfraCo’s operating revenue rose by 5%, mainly driven by Nxera data centre business' non-recurring customer reservation fee, utility pass-through, and price increases.

In addition, regional associates’ pre-tax contribution grew by 7%, mainly driven by strong performances from Airtel and AIS.

Meanwhile, Singtel Singapore’s operating revenue fell by 2%, primarily due to the continued decline in legacy carriage services.

The board has proposed a final one-tier tax-exempt ordinary dividend of $0.100 per share, totalling approximately $1.65b. Combined with the interim core dividend of $0.056 per share, the total core dividend amounts to $0.123 per share.

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.
