Snail's pace: SingPost's profit down 3.5% to S$39.2m

Revenue was up but so were total expenses which jumped 6% to S$109.3m.

The company said group revenue for the first quarter of FY 2011/12 grew 3% to S$142.3m. Revenue from Mail increased 1.6% to S$97.2m, on higher contributions from domestic mail particularly in government and business mail and as well as direct mail.

Meanwhile Logistics revenue grew 10.7% to S$51.2m on the back of better performances in Quantium Solutions, Speedpost and vPOST shipping activities. Retail revenue increased 1.5% to S$16.6 million due to higher retail product contributions offsetting the decline in financial services revenue following the sale of the SpeedCash business in March 2011.

The Board of Directors has declared an interim quarterly dividend of 1.25 cents per ordinary share (tax exempt one-tier) payable on 31 August 2011.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

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.
