4 reasons why Noble could reap bigger profits in 2013

Cost savings could possibly hit US$100m.

According to DBS, FY12 core profits grew 47% y-o-y to US$472m largely on tax credits and lower net interest expense.

Here are 4 reasons why DBS thinks core earnings will get bigger:

We expect core earnings to grow further in FY13 with: 1) the bounce in grain and oilseeds crush margins from 2Q when the harvest season commences; 2) 15%-20% volume increase in sugar cane and US oil, gas and power; and 3) improving economic activities in China, leading to stronger coal and MMO businesses; and 4) US$100m cost savings especially net interest expense.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
