A surge in core net profit with positive free cash flow\nFor 3Q FY2024, SATS saw revenue more than double year on year to S$1.4 billion on the back of the aviation recovery as well as the consolidation of Worldwide Flight Services (WFS).\nThe group generated an operating profit of S$85.8 million for the quarter, reversing the S$1.1 million operating loss in the prior year.\nSATS’ associates and joint venture (JV) companies also reported better results in line with the recovery in the aviation sector, contributing S$34.6 million in share of profits compared with just S$10.2 million a year ago.\nAs a result, net profit catapulted from just S$500,000 in 3Q FY2023 to S$31.5 million in 3Q FY2024.\nAfter adjusting for one-off items, SATS’ core net profit would have more than doubled year on year from S$12.1 million to S$31.8 million.\nCash flow was healthy for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 (9M FY2024).\nOperating cash flow came in at S$247.8 million, a sharp turnaround from the outflow of S$19.1 million in 9M FY2023.\nThe ground handler generated a positive free cash flow of S$118.1 million for 9M FY2024.\n2. Lower reliance on Food Solutions\nAfter the acquisition of WFS, SATS is now much less reliant on its Food Solutions division.\nLooking back at 9M FY2023, Food Solutions made up half of SATS’ total revenue.\nA year later, both aviation and non-aviation food solutions made up just 21% of the group’s total revenue, with the remaining 79% coming from gateway services.\nThe consolidation of WFS also helped to diversify SATS’ geographic revenue base.\nClose to 80% of the group’s revenue used to come from Singapore but for 9M FY2024, Singapore made up just a third of the group’s revenue with the Americas at 37% and EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) taking up a fifth.\n3. Stronger operating metrics\nSATS not only reported better financial numbers.\nThe group also saw sharp improvements in its operating metrics in tandem with the aviation recovery and the consolidation of WFS.\nFor 9M FY2024, the group handled 450,200 flights, up from just 164,000 in the same period last year.\nMeals served increased by nearly 45% year on year to 71.1 million while the number of passengers handled leapt by almost 59% year on year to 58.8 million.\nFor cargo movements, SATS saw cargo tonnage more than triple year on year to 5.8 million tonnes.\nHowever, in line with the increase in business volume, SATS also saw the number of employees triple from 16,600 in 9M FY2023 to 49,900 in 9M FY2024.\n4. Encouraging business developments\nThe group continued to drive growth through effective business development efforts.\nNew commercial wins for SATS include Etihad Cargo handling which expanded to 12 stations globally and a China Airlines cargo win in Los Angeles.\nThere was also a strategic collaboration between Saudi Cargo and Cainiao to process cross-border e-commerce shipments at Liege efficiently.\nMeanwhile, SATS also continued to strengthen its Singapore hub.\nThe group is supporting the Singapore Food Agency’s initiative to strengthen the country’s food security.\nAlong this line, it has started the construction of a Built-Up Pallet Centre for the seamless handling of export cargo lodgements.\nIn addition, SATS also signed a memorandum of understanding with Singapore Post Limited (SGX: S08) to set up an eCommerce Transshipment Hub.\n5. A bright outlook\nSATS is confident of its outlook for FY2024 and beyond.\nThe International Air Transport Association (IATA) expects the broader aviation industry to return to profitability in the second half of this year.\nSATS should continue to benefit from the ongoing recovery in passenger and cargo volumes for the remainder of this year.\nPresident and CEO Kerry Mok reiterated that Singapore remains a key pillar for SATS’ business and that operations at Changi Airport will be ramped up to support the continued growth of the airport.\nThe group also conducted a successful refinancing that will result in significant cost savings and will continue to drive profitable growth moving forward.\nFirst-time investors: We’ve finally released our beginner’s guide to investing.
