- SingPost posted higher 9MFY25 revenue (+17.2% y-o-y) and operating profit (+22.3% y-o-y) but still fell short of our expectations. This was due to a soft 3QFY25 which saw higher revenue but weaker-than-expected operating profit, dragged by higher operating costs and a weak macroeconomic environment.

Lower margins.
- 3QFY25 revenue was driven by growth in the Australia and property businesses, offset by the Singapore and international segments.
- The sharp fall in SingPost's 3QFY25 operating profit was largely dragged by higher-than-expected operating expenses from ongoing macroeconomic pressures, inflationary cost push, supply chain disruptions and a highly competitive environment. As a result, 3QFY25 operating margins fell by 2.0ppt y-o-y to 4.1ppt.
Value-unlocking initiatives to continue.
