Tigerair’s net loss soared 18.5% to $264m in FY15

Altered accounting policies are to blame.

Tigerair’s net loss grew 18.5% to $264m in FY15, dragged mainly by a series of changes to its accounting policies.

These changes include an increase in maintenance charges of $12.8m, as well as additional aircraft depreciation charges of $14.3m.

The group also reported that its Q4 results sank back into the red after the group managed to turn in a profit in the third quarter.

Tigerair booked a net loss of $18.8m in Q4, down 80.3% year-on-year compared to a net loss of $95.5m in the same period last year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
