Expenses fell 2.4% even as revenue slipped 0.9%.
Singapore Post Limited’s (SingPost) operating profit rose 55.2% year-on-year to $4.1m in the first quarter of FY26/27 as lower expenses offset a decline in revenue.
Revenue slipped 0.9% to $93.4m, whilst operating expenses decreased 2.4% to $89.3mm, according to a bourse filing.
Operating margin improved to 4.4% from 2.8% a year earlier.
The company attributed the decline in expenses to lower labour-related costs as it continued to streamline operations.
Higher fuel costs during the quarter were partly offset by route optimisation, fleet electrification, and electricity cost hedging, it added.
