Catalyst 1: Postal rate hike is step 1 in fixing domestic postal losses

• We believe SingPost will receive government approval by end-2023F to carry out a postal rate adjustment as a stop-gap measure while discussions continue to find a longer-term solution. We assume a 50% hike in the base rate effective FY25F (Apr 2024) (which still puts Singapore’s postal rate below developed countries), providing an annual EBIT uplift of ~S$20m.
