  • REVIEW by CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Financial Year 2004 Was
    SPH-Corporate_Blu 11/9/04 11:54 AM Page 26 REVIEW BY CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Financial year 2004 was an eventful and milestone year for SPH. More significantly, we took note of and acted decisively on what our shareholders and stakeholders wanted us to do. We were able to enhance value for our shareholders, made inroads into regional markets, strengthened our products to attract readers, and leveraged on our core capabilities and brand name to stay ahead. It was a year of achievements as our newspapers, magazines and TV channels went on a winning streak and clinched a string of top international awards for excellence and quality. But it was also a testing time as we had to take several tough measures to stay the course. On balance, I believe we put up a good show and can look back on the past year with satisfaction. The following gives a short review of how we measured up in the key areas. Looking back on the year We entered FY04 when the economy was still sluggish, as it was just recovering from the adverse effects of SARS which ravaged many businesses in Singapore and the region. Terrorism continued to be a clear and present danger. Amid the uncertainty and difficult operating environment, SPH’s core newspaper business remained soft and the Group ended the first quarter with a net profit of $83.8 million, slightly up from $82.8 million in the same quarter of the previous year. Total turnover dipped 1.1% to $240.3 million. With a slow but steady global recovery underway, our newspaper operations improved in the second quarter and the group posted $89.3 million in net profit.

  • Chairman's Statement
    Chairman’s Statement The financial year started robustly, but by March 2001 the economy took a sharp downturn and the Group’s performance was adversely affected. Our core business of newspaper publishing, however, performed satisfactorily. Group turnover for the year dipped marginally by 2.1 per cent to S$1.03 billion compared to the same period last year, due largely to a five per cent drop in print advertisement revenue and a 5.6 per cent drop in circulation revenue. The Group’s profit from operations fell by 22.9 per cent to S$337.7 million due to start-up losses from our broadcasting ventures, Streats and Project Eyeball. Higher newsprint cost also contributed to the decline. Due to weak market conditions and lower investible funds, investment income declined by 9.7 per cent to S$77.5 million. As a result, the Group’s net profit dropped 18.7 per cent to S$340.8 million for the financial year. Newspapers Due to the economic slowdown and increased competition, total daily newspaper circulation, excluding Streats, fell 2.8 per cent to 1,058,000 copies. Streats, a free sheet offering bite-sized news for commuters, was launched during the year. The newspaper was well received by both readers and advertisers. It has established itself as a prime time commuter paper. We are confident that Streats will contribute to the Group’s profits once the economy turns around. Both the print and online editions of Project Eyeball were suspended on June 29, 2001. Started in August 2000 to cater to Net-savvy readers, Project Eyeball bore the brunt of the unforeseen rapid reversal of market conditions against Internet ventures.
