ComfortDelGro’s net profit soars 54.5% YoY to $49.9m in 3Q23

Quarter-on-quarter, net profit rose by 9.2%.

ComfortDelGro ended 3Q23 with a 54.5% YoY and 9.2% QoQ higher profit after tax and minority interests (PATMI) of $49.9m.

In a bourse filing, the land transport company attributed its higher profit to improvement in its “Public Transport Services” unit due to UK indexation and higher margin contract renewals.

With newly introduced Singapore platform fees and lower rental discounts in China, the company’s “Taxi/Private Hire Vehicle (PHV)” segment also saw improvement during the quarter, helping boost net profit.

ComfortDelGro’s “Other Private Transport” segment was also generally stable except for Singapore private bus, which remains challenged with ongoing driver shortages and elevated costs.

Meanwhile, the company attributed improvements in its “Other” segment to Singapore driving school, media and expenses timing.

Financial Statements

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.
