SingPost acquisition in FMH won’t improve its earnings

The Freight Management Holdings is already fully consolidated.

When SingPost said it will proceed with an accelerated acquisition of Freight Management Holdings, it will increase the postal services’ ownership but the transaction will not improve the earnings, an S&P Ratings bulletin showed.

“The acquisition will increase SingPost's ownership in FMH to 88% by the end of March 2023, but will not improve SingPost's earnings as FMH is already fully consolidated,” said SingPost.

The acquisition will also reaffirm SingPost’s strategy to transform into a logistics player and its expansion in Australia but it is still unsure whether this will create investments or additional debt.

S&P views the acquisition as credit neutral as their base case and adjusted debt already accounted for cash needs that may stem from the trigger of the put.

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.
