SingPost acquisition in FMH won’t improve its earnings

The Freight Management Holdings is already fully consolidated.

When SingPost said it will proceed with an accelerated acquisition of Freight Management Holdings, it will increase the postal services’ ownership but the transaction will not improve the earnings, an S&P Ratings bulletin showed.

“The acquisition will increase SingPost's ownership in FMH to 88% by the end of March 2023, but will not improve SingPost's earnings as FMH is already fully consolidated,” said SingPost.

The acquisition will also reaffirm SingPost’s strategy to transform into a logistics player and its expansion in Australia but it is still unsure whether this will create investments or additional debt.

S&P views the acquisition as credit neutral as their base case and adjusted debt already accounted for cash needs that may stem from the trigger of the put.

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.
