Snail's pace: SingPost's profit down 3.5% to S$39.2m

Revenue was up but so were total expenses which jumped 6% to S$109.3m.

The company said group revenue for the first quarter of FY 2011/12 grew 3% to S$142.3m. Revenue from Mail increased 1.6% to S$97.2m, on higher contributions from domestic mail particularly in government and business mail and as well as direct mail.

Meanwhile Logistics revenue grew 10.7% to S$51.2m on the back of better performances in Quantium Solutions, Speedpost and vPOST shipping activities. Retail revenue increased 1.5% to S$16.6 million due to higher retail product contributions offsetting the decline in financial services revenue following the sale of the SpeedCash business in March 2011.

The Board of Directors has declared an interim quarterly dividend of 1.25 cents per ordinary share (tax exempt one-tier) payable on 31 August 2011.

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.
