Singtel&rsquo s Q3 profit surges 183.4% to S$1.3 billion on exceptional gains
It expects to pay a total dividend of around S$0.165 per share for FY2025
SINGTEL&rsquo S : Z74 +1.2% net profit for the third quarter ended Dec 31 climbed 183.4 per cent to S$1.3 billion from S$465 million in the same period the year before.
This was mainly attributed to a net exceptional gain of S$639 million, compared to a net exceptional loss of S$94 million in the same period the previous year, said the telco giant in a business update on Wednesday (Feb 19).
For the quarter, exceptional gains were recorded from the disposal of partial stakes in its Thai associate Intouch and Indara, formerly known as Australia Tower Network, as well as its share of Airtel&rsquo s exceptional net gain.
Underlying net profit rose 21.6 per cent to S$680 million from S$559 million, and was 22.7 per cent higher in constant currency terms.
Operating revenue rose 1 per cent on the year to S$3.6 billion, while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) increased 0.9 per cent to S$943 million from S$935 million previously.
Yuen Kuan Moon, Singtel group chief executive, said: &ldquo Optus and NCS maintained strong performances, and our regional associates Airtel and AIS delivered higher contributions.&rdquo He added that the group &ldquo will stay focused on lifting business performance by capturing growth opportunities in artificial intelligence, data centres and global connectivity&rdquo .
For the first nine months, Singtel&rsquo s revenue remained stable at S$10.6 billion. Ebitda was up 6.2 per cent at S$2.9 billion from S$2.7 billion in the prior year, while net profit fell 2 per cent to S$2.55 billion from S$2.6 billion previously.
The decline in net profit was attributed to &ldquo a lower exceptional gain&rdquo .
In the previous corresponding period, the telco giant&rsquo s net exceptional gain was lifted by a S$1.2 billion gain from the dilution of its equity interest in Telkomsel.
Underlying net profit rose 11.3 per cent to S$1.9 billion from S$1.7 billion in the prior year, and was 13.7 per cent higher in constant currency terms.
Taking into account the business performance to date, the group expects the growth rate for earnings before interest and taxes excluding contributions from its associates to be &ldquo in the high teens to low twenties&rdquo for FY2025. It was previously forecast to be &ldquo in the low double digits&rdquo .
Singtel expects to pay a total dividend of around S$0.165 per share for FY2025.

Due to annual $60 billion increase in CPF balance, triggering jump in CPF reserves, SG stocks are to be allocated by 20%, adjusting STi valuation higher. There are some sign of rising blue chip stocks with strong growth prospects including banks, Singtel, sembcorp, yangzijiang, Keppel, Sats, and more. Futhermore, this will materialise for 2025.
Singtel and StarHub forecasted for low revenue growth but
strong earnings in 2025
CGSI projects Singtel' s FY3/26F revenue to grow 2% YoY, whilst StarHub' s revenue is expected to rise 4% in 2025F.
Major telcos Singtel and StarHub are expected to achieve low single-digit revenue growth in 2025F, with a more positive
earnings outlook as double-digit growth is projected for the year.
In a report, CGS International (CGSI) projected Singtel' s FY3/26F revenue to grow by approximately 2% year-on-year,
marking a reversal after five consecutive years of decline (FY20-24).
Similarly, CGSI forecasted StarHub' s revenue to grow by around 4% YoY in 2025F, driven primarily by robust growth in
its Managed Services and Cybersecurity segments.
On the earnings front, CGSI expects Singtel' s FY3/26F EPS to grow by approximately 17% year-on-year, supported by
7% EBIT growth from continued $200m annual operating expense cuts, NCS margin improvements, and enhanced
postpaid pricing in Australia

If Singtel go down too much, is it good for fund managers?
Nope. Every investors for Singpost wait for the deal to materialise. But fund managers can buy cheaper by pushing down Singpost and paint a better profit figure. While small retailers like me can buy a bit to gamble. But what will happen when the deal did not go through?
Funds switching to Singpost?
