ComfortDelGro’s net profit up 6.9% to $80.9m in Q2

Rail, taxi and bus revenue all increased.

Transport giant ComfortDelGro booked a 6.9% profit increase in the second quarter, netting a total of $80.9m on back of higher rail, taxi and bus revenue.

Revenue of the group’s core bus operations grew 4.1% to $538.6m during the quarter, backed by higher earnings from overseas bus operations but partially offset by negative forex translation effects.

Its taxi business booked a 3.3% revenue increase to $330m, boosted by a positive foreign currency translation effect of $1.9 million from the stronger Renminbi.

Meanwhile, its rail segment recorded 6.8% revenue growth on back of higher daily train ridership and fares.

ComfortDelGro declared tax-exempt one-tier interim dividend of 4 cents per ordinary share for Q2.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
