SINGAPORE (July 27): SIA Engineering Group posted 1Q15 earnings of $41.3 million, a decrease of 22.8% compared to the corresponding quarter last year.
Basic earnings per share was 3.68 cents, down 23.2% from 4.79 cents a year ago.
Profit in the same quarter last year included a $5.8 million gain from the restructuring of one of its subsidiaries. Excluding this gain, earnings to owners of the parent in this quarter would have decreased $6.4 million or 13.4%.
Revenue was lower by $16.8 million or 5.7%, primarily due to lower airframe component and overhaul revenue. Although the exchange loss increased by $4.1 million, expenditure fell $17.0 million or 6.2%, mainly from lower staff and subcontract costs.
As the decrease in expenditure offset the reduction in revenue, operating profit of $20.9 million increased by $0.2 million or 1.0% from the previous year.
Share of profits of associated and joint venture companies at $24.0 million decreased by $6.6 million or 21.6% from $30.6 million a year ago. Contributions from the engine repair and overhaul centres at $11.2 million were $7.9 million or 41.4% lower than the same period last year.
The cash balance of the group as at June 30, 2015 was $488.1 million, an increase of 5.3% compared to 31 March 2015.
SIA Engineering says overall market conditions for the MRO industry will remain challenging.
Rising business costs and competition from increasing MRO capacity in the region will also continue to exert pressure on margins.
“Efforts to manage costs and strengthen our competitiveness across core business units will remain a key priority. We continue to build on our capability to handle new generation aircraft. This will broaden the depth and breadth of our capabilities and scope of services. Supported by a strong balance sheet, the Group will continue to pursue strategic partnerships and long term growth opportunities in the region,” says the group.
SIA Engineering closed 3 cents lower at $8.05.

$8.05? so high![]()
I'm adding a new position on SIA engineering as it draw near its 52-weeks low. SIAEC, together with its subsidiaries, operates as an aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) company in the Asia-Pacific. It has joint ventures with Rolls Royce, Pratt & Whitney, etc and overhauling hydro-mechanical aircraft equipment for Boeing and Airbus aircraft.
With cash holdings of $539.8 million and net debt of $32.3million, they are in good position to invest in new MRO company who wants to set up in Singapore. Historically, whenever SIA bought engines from manufacturers, there's a requirement for those engines to service in own backyard, hence it creates potential revenue for SIAEC.
As the SEA region globalize, the need for travel increases and fleet size expand tremendously according to Boeing. This can only translate to better prospects in the future for MRO company, especially SIAEC who has a glowing influence as the best workshop in the region. Customer as far as emirates, virgin air also send their engines to Saesl(a subsidiary of SIAEC) in Singapore for overhaul.
When the economy recover and people are flying again, airlines will send more engines for re-work and overhaul. Buying shares is akin to buying the future. When we see there's future in the company that we invest in, any dips by Mr market is an opportunity to add more. As long as we believed in the fundamental and potential of it, there's no reason to lose faith or sleep when the price is depress during downturn.
Warren buffett, the best investor of our time said that," I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years."
When we see value in a company, and believes in it, time will do it's work. ����
if passenger and freight demand continue to increase, this stock sure up one. Maintenance and repair confirmed must perform at scheduled and non-scheduled interval. Unless airline companies want to flout the regulation.
Of course, it is vulnerable to financial crisis and recession as what we have seen in 2008. I feel it is a cyclical stock...
Conno support bull of sia eng sia. Whatz your avg price ah?Current PE is only 11 and EPS at $0.29. With free operating cash flow coming in, and economy to slowly recover, there is a chance dividend for next year will be higher. ��
