Singtel’s net profit dips 2% in 9M 2024
The company attributes this to a lower exceptional gain of $680m.
Singtel has reported a 2% year-on-year net profit decrease to $2.55b during the nine months ended 31 December 2024.
The company attributes this to a lower exceptional gain of $680m, reflecting a 26.1% decrease over FY2023’s $1.2b gain.
During the period, the group’s operating revenue remained stable despite Trustwave’s deconsolidation in October 2023. EBITDA grew 6.2% driven mainly by Optus and NCS.
Further, net finance expense rose 16% due to lower dividend income following the group's sale of its Airtel Africa stake in December 2023.
