Singtel's 1Q24 net profit plunges to $795m amid $1.47b exceptional loss

Compared to 1Q23, net profit fell 64%.

A $1.47b exceptional loss dragged Singtel's 1Q24 net profit down 64% YoY to $795m.

“The company incurred noncash impairment charges on goodwill and Optus Enterprise’s fixed network assets,” Singtel explained.

Excluding the charges, Singtel’s underlying net profit rose 10% YoY to $2.26b, driven by increased contributions from Airtel and AIS and higher interest income from capital recycling.

In constant currency terms, underlying net profit would have risen 13%.

Despite lower net profits, Singtel’s board proposed a final one-tier tax-exempt ordinary dividend of $0.098 per share, comprising a core dividend of $0.06 per share and a value realisation dividend of $0.038 per share.

Financial Statements

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.
