SIAEC's profits plunged 74.3% to $10.7m in Q1

The flights they handled in Singapore shrank to 13% of their usual load.

SIA Engineering Company's net profit plummeted 74.3% YoY to $10.7m in Q1 FY2020/21, the company revealed in a business update. Over the same period, revenue shrank 54.1% to $118.5m.

As international air travel came virtually to a standstill, the number of flights handled in the company’s Singapore base during the quarter was only about 13% of what they used to handle before the pandemic emerged.

This was however cushioned by the government’s wage support under the Job Support Scheme (JSS), which has been increased to 75% in May for the aerospace MRO operators. Without this support, the group estimated that they would have lost $36.7m.

“Our base maintenance unit had fewer airframe overhaul checks whilst airline customers under our fleet management business saw significant reduction in flying hours. Work volume at our engine and component joint venture companies also slowed as decreased flying hours resulted in extension of maintenance intervals,” the company said.

Basic earnings per share and net asset value per share as at 30 June was 0.96 cents and 145.5 cents respectively.

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.
