SingTel’s profit jumped 19.3% to $1.04b in Q2

Revenue inched up to $4.3b.

SingTel’s net profit jumped 19.3% year-on-year to $1.04b in the second quarter, boosted by an exceptional gain of $62.2m.

The net exceptional gain was mainly comprised of an exceptional gain of S$65 million from the dilution of 2.2% of SingTel’s equity interest in SingPost following its equity placement to an investor. Excluding this, underlying net profit would have risen 10.7% year-on-year to $979m.

SingTel’s revenue inched up 3.5% year-on-year to $4.3b, aided by first-time contributions from Adconion and Kontera, its most recent digital acquisitions.

According to OCBC, SingTel declared an interim dividend of S$0.068/share, unchanged from a year ago. SingTel has kept its guidance for FY15 largely unchanged, except that it now expects a wider negative EBITDA versus 20% narrower previously.

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.
