NetLink NBN's 9M FY26 profit drops 11.8% despite 1.6% revenue rise

Higher depreciation from a larger asset base fueled a profit decline to $65.4m.

NetLink NBN Trust reported an 11.8% year-on-year decline in profit after tax to $65.4m for the nine months ended 31 December 2025 (9M FY26), down from $74.1m in the same period a year earlier.

The decline is attributed to higher depreciation arising from a larger asset base and increased net finance costs, partially offset by a higher income tax credit, the trust said in a press release.

The decrease came despite a 1.6% rise in revenue to $313m, up from $308.2m in 9M FY25.

The increase was driven mainly by non-regulated asset base (non-RAB) revenue, particularly ancillary project work, whilst RAB revenue remained stable

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation slipped by 0.6% to $215.5m, down from S$216.8m a year earlier, due to higher operating expenses, including increased property tax for the Seletar central office and IT-related costs.

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.
