Mayday: Scoots $65 million loss shows its losing this budget dog-fight

It's only a matter of time until SIA has to ease the throttle.

You don't need radar tracking to see Scoots $60mn losses are unsustainable for SIA. In Maybank Kim Eng's estimates, Scoots posted a full-year loss of around SGD65m, dampening SIA's profitability. Maybank noted that Singapore Airlines (SIA) reported 4QFY3/14 net profit of SGD27m, in line with our expectations. The boost came from exceptional gains of SGD19.8m and recognition of tax credits that led to a positive tax charge, but this was offset by losses from associates. Group operating loss of SGD60m in the quarter was a miss (4QFY3/13: SGD44m) with Scoot likely in the red.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
