SingPost's profit shoots up by 38.5% to $53.4m

On back of a booming logistic segment.

The Postman is entering an era of transformation, and unlike transitory phases of most firms, SingPost is still racking up earnings while shifting, as its revenue rose by 19.4% to $263.2m.

According to analysts from OCBC, as SingPost remains aggressive in investing in its transformation initiatives, overseas and eCommerce related revenue now account for a large chunk of its topline.

"Excluding the impact of acquisitions and divestment of subsidiaries, revenue remained stable," OCBC said.

OCBC also noted that the logistic segment remained the star of the Postman's show.

"Despite its transformation, the group remains committed in paying out dividends, with a 1.5 S cents interim declared for the quarter," OCBC said.

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.
