SIA Engineering Co (SIAEC) has reported a net profit of $41.9 million for the 3QFY2026 ended Dec 31, 2025, $3.7 million or 9.7% higher y-o-y, bringing its net profit for the 9MFY2026 to $125.2 million, 17% higher y-o-y.
Basic earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter stood at 3.72 cents, bringing SIAEC’s 9MFY2026’s EPS to 11.14 cents on a fully diluted basis.
3QFY2026 group revenue rose by 8.7% y-o-y to $353.1 million, while group expenditure rose at a lower rate of 8.4% y-o-y to $347.1 million. The higher expenses were mainly attributable to higher manpower costs, subcontract services, materials and IT system implementation as well as startup costs at two new subsidiaries.
As such, the group reported an operating profit of $6 million, 27.7% or $1.3 million higher y-o-y.
During the quarter, SIAEC’s share of profits of associated and joint venture (JV) companies stood at $38.8 million or 20.5% higher y-o-y. The higher sum was thanks to improvements of $6.2 million and $0.4 million from the engine and componet as well as the airframe and line maintenance segments, respectively.
As at Dec 31, 2025, equity attributable to owners of the parent fell by 0.7% or $12.7 million to $1.71 billion from March 31, 2025, mainly due to a reduction in the foreign currency translation reserve and the payment of final dividend for the last financial year. This was partly offset by profits earned during the period.
