SingPost's postage rate hike partially offsets lower hybrid mail contributions

Mail operating profit fell 10.1%.

A report by CIMB reveals that SingPost's mail revenue slipped to $116.5m on lower hybrid mail contributions, reflecting a dip of 6.9% QoQ and 5.6% YoY.

“Excluding hybrid mail, overall revenue for the mail segment would have fallen 3.4% QoQ and risen 1.1% YoY, partially helped by the postage rate hike,” said the report.

Excluding one-off gains from the sale of Novation Solutions for $8.4m in the first quarter and of Datapost for $24.9m in the second quarter, mail operating profit reflected a 10.1% QoQ dip but a growth of 2.5% YoY.

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.
