Sembcorp suffers 24% net profit loss in Singapore

Here's why analyst isn't surprised.

According to CIMB, Sembcorp Singapore’s 3Q13 net profit dipped 23-24% qoq and yoy to S$53m, within its expectations. The yoy weakness was mainly due to a 19% dip in spark spreads and the expiry of favourable gas sale contracts in 3Q13.

Here's more:

While spark spreads remained stable qoq, the lower qoq performance was affected by higher maintenance and manpower costs in 3Q13. We have factored in zero growth for Singapore operations in FY14.

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.
