ComfortDelGro, SBS Transit post higher interim earnings
TWO-POINT cut in the corporate tax rate to 18 per cent took $10.3 million off ComfortDelGro's taxation bill for the six months ended June 30.
That helped the transport giant post a 10.5 per cent or $10.8 million rise in net earnings to $113.9 million for the first half.
The interim profits came on the back of an 8.6 per cent rise in revenue to $1.46 billion, and came despite an 8.5 per cent rise in expenses to $1.3 billion and a plunge in investment income.
Bus leasing charges and insurance and accident compensation saw the biggest percentage rises in cost. They rose by 27.5 and 24.9 per cent to $39.4 million and $44.7 million respectively.
________________________________________________________
The transport group's Singapore subsidiary, SBS Transit, posted a 20.4 per cent rise in interim net earnings to $31.6 million on the back of an 8.4 per cent rise in turnover to $320.9 million.
Its earnings per share rose from 8.66 cents to 10.37 cents, while net asset value per share stood at 82 cents, from 90 cents previously.
SBS Transit, which operates most of the buses in Singapore as well as the North-East MRT Line, enjoyed higher ridership, higher fares and higher advertising revenue.
Fuelled by sharply higher ridership, its rail operations made $3.7 million, reversing a loss of $1.5 million.
SBS Transit is declaring an interim dividend of six cents, up from five cents previously.
It has applied for a fare increase this year, which if approved, will take effect from October.
Why didnt they mention rising manpower and fuel costs

It should be to get 825 to extend op hrs... -
I believe the only reason why SMRT/TIBS get to operate the current 825 is because before the amendment, 825 served springleaf, but after that they amended it to serve only Lentor area. So if they were to withdraw 825, SMRT may not be able to operate any basic service from Lentor, Teacher's Estate and Sembawang Hills* as these are under SBS Transit's territory.
Note: Teacher's Estate and Lentor Premium are Premium servces and are not subjected to any territorial control.
*This is based on the assumption that AMK extends all the way to SLE (which is true under URA planning area). -
