Singtel’s profits dip 2% YoY to $954m

It was impacted by a 2015 one-off tax credit.

Singtel’s Q3 net profit dipped 2% YoY to $954m. However, stripping off a one-off tax credit last year and impact from Trustwave acquired in September 2015, net profit for the quarter would have inched up 3%.

According to a report by OCBC, Singtel’s underlying profit eased 1.5% YoY to $955m. Meanwhile, revenue showed a marginal increase of 1.1% YoY to $4.47b, and was up 6.2% in constant currency terms as the UD has tumbled 8% against the SGD.

For 9MFY16, reported net profit grew slightly by 2.9% to around $2.93m and underlying profit plateaued at $2.82m. Similarly, revenue was flat at approximately $12.87m.

Singtel also affirmed its previous FY16 guidance, as it expects core business revenue to climb by mid-single digit level and earnings before tax to inch up at low single digit level.

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.
