JV with Panasonic hurts SIAEC’s revenue for 2Q12

The company reported a slight decline in revenue to S$272m as work is outsourced to another firm.

PATMI, however, climbed by 7.1%. to S$71m.

In a statement, Phillip Securities Research said that while outsourcing would reduce near term contributions at the company level, SIAEC would benefit in the long run through its 42.5% interest in the JV.

While the number of flights handled by SIAEC increased by 4.4%y-y, it remains significantly lower than the 14.5% traffic growth at Changi Airport.

According to the analyst, this reflects the distortion caused by the LCC growth that has a lower demand for services from MRO companies. 

It added that the JV bodes well for SIAEC as it would allow the firm to expand capacity in the long term and have access to cheaper labor.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
