SingPost delivers $40.5 mln profit

The mailman definitely delivers. Singapore Post Limited reported an increase in net profit by 8.3% to $40.5 million. The group’s mail revenue did decrease 4.4% to S$87.6 million on lower international mail contributions. So which part of Singapore Post’s business was reeling in the profits?

The company’s logistics revenue increased 142.6%, benefiting from the first full quarterly contribution from Quantium Solutions, a full-service information technology consulting company, offering both consulting and technical support to middle-market businesses and government agencies. Without Quantium Solutions, it is believed that the group would have posted a 4% decline this quarter. And although revenue from Speedpost saw a decline, rental and property-related income continued to grow, rising 23.1% to S$10.1 million, with higher rental income from Singapore Post Centre and the leasing of space at the repurposed post office buildings.

Group CEO of Singapore Post Limited, Wilson Tan is cautiously optimistic about the postal service industry. “Although the global economy is showing signs of recovery, the postal industry typically experiences a longer recovery runway. We are certainly not out of the woods yet and we continue to face unrelenting pressures from the operating environment.”

He added: “We remain disciplined on cost management, and are focused on expanding Quantium Solutions’ business beyond cross-border mail and extending its core competencies in Asia Pacific. We will continue to reinvent ourselves and stay relevant to our customers, while actively pursuing new growth opportunities.”

Lorem Ipsum text in year 2025

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
