INFLIGHT caterer and ground handler Sats on Wednesday (Nov 9) reported a net loss of S$9.9 million for its second quarter, reversing a year-ago profit of S$6.8 million, as operating expenses rose and lower government grants were received.
Excluding the effect of reliefs, net loss for the three months ended Sep 30 would have been S$19.7 million, an improvement from the S$30.1 million net loss excluding reliefs in the year-ago period, the company said in a bourse filing.
During the second quarter, Sats revenue rose 46 per cent to S$429 million, as its food and gateway segments reported higher revenue on the back of aviation recovery and the consolidation of revenue from Asia Airfreight Terminal.
