SATS' revenue dipped 0.3% to $1.72b

Earnings from food solutions fell 2.7% to $946.6m.

Revenue for SATS dipped 0.3% to $1.72b YoY in March 2018. The group’s revenue could have increased 1.5% if not for the impact of the deconsolidation of their SHK unit in November, according to a company report.

Revenue from food solutions fell 2.7% to $946.6m whilst gateway services recorded a 2.9% revenue increase at $776.5m propelled by the strong passenger and cargo demand.

SATS’ aviation arm contributed 86.3% or $1.48b of the total revenue whilst $236b came from SATS Food Services group, Food and Allied Support Services Corporation group, SATS-Creuers Cruise Services, SATS Yihai Kerry, and other corporate services.

The firm’s lower revenue led to a 1.8% slip in operating profit from $230.6m to $226.4m, making the operating profit margin dip from 13.3% to 13.1%/ Meanwhile, profits from associates and joint ventures grew 9.2% YoY to $71.2m as SATS joined in several overseas deals.

Non-operating income increased by $10.8 m YoY due to assets sales worth $15.5m as well as write back of $4.5 million for the earn-out consideration. SATS also saw a 1.4% increase to $261.5 million in profit attributable to owners of the company.

Earnings from Singapore that totalled $1.4b became the firm’s top revenue provider whilst TFK in Japan followed with revenue worth $239.4m. Revenues from other units fell 29% to $62.2m.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
