Group Performance and Financial Review
For the financial year ended 31 March 2026, the Group recorded revenue of S$376.1
million, a decline of 23.1% YoY from S$489.1 million. Revenue was impacted by a 55.2%
contraction in International revenue amidst a volatile global macroeconomic environment,
as well as the continued decline in letter mail volumes.
Reflecting the softer international volumes, full-year operating profit fell 68.9% YoY to
S$11.8 million, down from S$37.9 million.
Net profit was S$60.9 million for the full year, boosted by exceptional items and the
derecognition of aged trade payables. Underlying Net Profit (“UNP”) which excludes
exceptional items and derecognition of aged trade payables, stood at S$10.7 million for
the year. Exceptional items of S$19.2 million comprised largely of a fair value gain on
investment properties and a gain on the disposal of subsidiaries. The Group reviewed its
process concerning the recognition and derecognition of liabilities (trade payables) with
overseas postal administrators for international deliveries. Accordingly, S$38.1 million was
derecognised during the financial year.
SingPost has unveiled its strategy for sustainable growth.
SingPost Centre remains a cornerstone of the Group’s Property Assets business. The
Group will retain SingPost Centre and leverage the government’s longer-term blueprint for
the Paya Lebar region to reap potential value-enhancing opportunities for the benefit of
shareholders. In the near term, the Group is evaluating plans to enhance SingPost Centre
to improve efficiency and yield.
In the Logistics & Letters business, SingPost is transitioning to an improved operating
model over the next few years to navigate shifts in demand. By integrating AI and
automation, the Group aims to reduce the cost to serve by more than 10%.
Simultaneously, the Group is leveraging its core competencies and last mile advantage to
broaden opportunities in logistics such as warehousing and value-added solutions.
The Board has recommended a final dividend of 0.06 cents per share for FY25/26.
Additionally, a supplemental dividend of 0.41 cents per share has been proposed, derived
from the net-of-tax derecognition of aged trade payables. This brings the total proposed
dividends to 0.47 cents per share.
The proposed dividends are subject to the approval of shareholders at the 34th
Annual General Meeting to be duly convened. The date payable and record date for
the dividends will be announced at a later date.
