Tiger Airways profits face erosion

Despite Tiger Airway's increase of 32% in sales, Phillip Securities expects profits to erode.

In particular, the soaring Jetfuel costs of US$106.5 could dampen profits of the company. The average Jetfuel price for the quarter which is US$98.9/bbl is 18% higher than the same period a year ago (US$83.6/bbl), according to Phillip Securities.

The negative effects would be reduced by the strengthening of SGD against USD. Consequently, Phillip Securities forecast pre-hedging fuel costs of S$65mn for the quarter. For the quarter, they expect a breakeven at profit before tax for Tiger Airways.

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.
