Escalating headwinds pound aviation MRO providers after poor Q2 numbers

Engine workshop visits are dwindling.

Aviation maintenance services providers cannot look forward to improved profit prospects in the third quarter after posting mostly poor Q2 results.

OCBC Investment Research noted that MRO providers will continue to be impacted by lower revenue from their core aircraft and engine repair businesses.

Workshop visits are dwindling due to the longer maintenance cycle of newer aircraft and engine models, as well as the phasing out of older engine models without new product replacement.

In the second quarter, ST Engineering’s core earnings fell 4.9% YoY to $135.3m while SIA Engineering Company’s (SIAEC) core PATMI dropped 13.6% to $41.3m. Only SATS managed to deliver growth during the quarter, with core profits up 8.5% to $47.1m on back of stringent spending cuts.

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.
