SingPost’s mail revenue plunged to all-time low in 2Q15

E-commerce is now taking the spotlight.

Singapore Post’s mail business accounted for 56% of its total revenue in 2Q15, the lowest the Postman has seen in its history.

According to OCBC, the plunge underscores SingPost’s efforts to reduce reliance on the mail business, as e-commerce revenue surged 20% year-on-year in 1H15.

SingPost reported stellar results for the last quarter, with revenue rising 8.1% year-on-year to $220.3m and net profit climbing 5.5% to $37.6m.

“With close to 1,000 ecommerce customers across the group and ecommerce package volumes registering double-digit growth YoY, we increase our FCFE growth rate assumption from 9% to 10% in our 3-stage DCF model, resulting in a slightly higher fair value estimate of S$2.17 (prev. S$2.09). In line with its usual practice, SingPost has declared an interim quarterly dividend of 1.25 S cents per share, payable on 28 Nov 2014,” stated OCBC.

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.
