  • SATS (SGX:S58)’s 4QFY23 revenue rose 59.6% y-o-y to S$478.1m, boosted by stronger performances from both Gateway Services (+81.0% y-o-y) and Food Solutions (+42.3% y-o-y), on the back of a continued recovery in aviation. On a q-o-q basis, 4QFY23 revenue was up marginally by 0.5% due to seasonality impact (3Q is typically a strong quarter).
