Chief Executive Officer
Global trade over the past year has been defined by rising geopolitical tensions and policy uncertainty. Events such as the crisis in the Red Sea and shifting global tariff policies from the United States have sparked industry-wide concerns and supply chain uncertainties. Despite these challenges, the SATS Group has continued to focus on executing our strategy, growing steadily through contract renewals and new commercial wins.

Chairman and PCEO Statement
In FY2025, SATS recorded growth across our cargo, ground handling and food solutions businesses.
According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), global passenger traffic and air cargo tonnage reported year-on-year growth of 10.4% and 11.3%, respectively. SATS outperformed industry averages, with aviation meals served increasing by 21.1% and cargo handled growing by 15.1%. These results reflect the benefit and strength of our global network, and the value we have delivered to our ecosystem partners.
The combined network of SATS and Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), now in its second year of integration, has contributed to the Group's resilience amid geopolitical changes. With operations in over 225 locations across 27 countries, and a diverse portfolio in cargo, ground handling and food solutions, SATS has been able to adapt and grow due to our global scale, skilled workforce, and strong business fundamentals.
Our FY2025 financial results highlight our network's strength and strong execution. Group revenue rose 13.0% to $5.8 billion and Profit After Tax
and Minority Interests (PATMI) increased from $56.4 million last year to $243.8 million this year. Additionally, our Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) margin improved from 15.2% to 17.8%, reaching $1.0 billion. Our efforts to restructure and optimise the Group's debt have contributed to stronger free cash flow, which grew from negative $48.2 million last year to
$228.3 million this year, reflecting
a focus on disciplined capital and debt management.
DIVIDEND
Based on the Group's performance in FY2025, the Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of
3.5 cents per share. Including
the interim dividend of 1.5 cents paid in December 2024, the total dividend for FY2025 will amount to
5.0 cents per share. Subject to approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting on 25 July 2025, the proposed dividend is scheduled to be paid on 15 August 2025.
A NEW BRAND IDENTITY
Two years ago, we acquired WFS to expand our global presence, strengthen our business resilience
while maintaining focus on our home market. This acquisition made SATS one of the largest air cargo handlers globally. We have progressed in integrating SATS and WFS and revealed a new brand identity symbolising unity and strength. The logo, with its double loop and 'to the power of' symbol, reflects our mission to empower trade, travel, and taste.
The WFS brand name will continue to be utilised in the Americas and EMEAA regions, recognising WFS' track record of safety, operational excellence, and strong customer relationships in these regions.
The new brand identity will be implemented progressively over the next three years.
In conjunction with our new
brand identity, we have refined the
SATS People Values to cultivate a cohesive, high-performance culture across our global network. New initiatives such as the Elevate leadership development programme, along with the global rollout of key engagement events
like Global Connect and the Global PCEO Awards, help drive strategic alignment, enhance employee engagement and celebrate excellence within our diverse workforce.

with consistent and reliable service worldwide, positioning our Group as the ideal global partner for their cargo operations. Notably, we secured
the renewal of our 5-year contract with Singapore Airlines, extended
11 contracts with Air India, and signed 14 new contracts across the Americas, EMEAA, and Asia. We continued to strengthen our global partnership with Emirates SkyCargo, expanding our collaboration to 21 stations worldwide with the addition of a significant new cargo handling contract at Frankfurt Airport. Deepening our long-standing relationship with Cathay Cargo, we expanded our services to new stations at Portland International and Dallas Fort Worth International airports.

Our extensive global footprint continues to attract collaboration with leading industry players such as Kuehne+Nagel. Our network of stations aligns strategically with their operational hubs, enabling seamless cooperation across key locations
worldwide. This alignment, combined with our capability to provide end-
to-end visibility, enhances supply chain transparency and operational efficiency for our partners. For example, we have successfully launched time-critical Aircraft-on-Ground shipments in collaboration with Kuehne+Nagel in Singapore and are now evaluating opportunities to scale this solution to key strategic hubs across Europe and Asia.
STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS
We formed strategic partnerships to enhance food and cargo capabilities. We partnered with
Mitsui Co. Ltd. in four of our food subsidiaries: SATS Food Solutions India Private Limited, SATS (Thailand) Co. Ltd, SATS (Tianjin) Food Co., Ltd, and Country Foods Pte Ltd, with the aim to unlock new business opportunities by
leveraging Mitsui's industry network and retail relationships.
In Saudi Arabia, our partnership with Avilog Logistics Services Company strengthens multi-modal logistics through extensive warehousing and distribution capabilities.
We signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Atlas Air, a subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc., a leading global provider of outsourced aviation logistics, to jointly develop fully
integrated ground and cargo handling solutions. This collaboration includes the development of digital and automation solutions, to enhance visibility and traceability of cargo throughout our combined networks.
SINGAPORE HUB
Singapore is an integral part of our growth strategy. As a Singapore-based multinational corporation (MNC), we are focused on supporting the success of Singapore's aviation ecosystem and Changi Airport.
We have reorganised our Gateway Services business in Asia by establishing a dedicated Singapore Hub operation, managed by a CEO dedicated to Singapore, to enhance aviation hub competitiveness
in Singapore.
To maintain Changi Airport's
hub status, we are investing over
$250 million to upgrade ground operations and cargo handling infrastructure in the lead up
to Terminal 5. These strategic investments reflect our commitment in strengthening Singapore's aviation ecosystem through automation, safety, operational excellence
and local leadership.

The increased adoption of electric vehicles contributed to a 50% reduction in the carbon intensity of our ground support equipment fleet.
NEW INVESTMENTS
This year, we made several investments to strengthen our capabilities. We acquired a portion of Menzies Aviation's general cargo operations at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, expanding our warehousing facility there to over 50,000 square
meters. This expansion enables us to better support our existing operations and provides the necessary space to support growing demand.
We have expanded our e-commerce and freight forwarding services at Copenhagen Airport by opening a fourth warehouse. At John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), we have launched a new cargo terminal, the first in 30 years in New York. This facility combines operations from four cargo zones into one modern location, reducing congestion and streamlining operations while freeing up space for future development.
With the rising demand for Fresh Frozen Meals (FFM), we are expanding our production facility at SATS Food Solutions Thailand to address this need. The expanded operations, expected to be ready by the first quarter of 2026, will increase our production capacity to 108,000 FFM units per day.
SUSTAINABILITY
At SATS, sustainability is embedded as a long-term value creation strategy, not just a compliance exercise. Guided by eight Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) focus areas shaped through dynamic materiality reviews, we have adopted a phased approach
- comply, optimise, and transform - to progressively enhance environmental performance, operational resilience, and governance standards.
In FY2025, SATS made measurable strides in reducing our environmental impact. The Group recorded a net

4.6% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, based on baselines set in 2020 for Singapore and 2024 for overseas operations. We have
successfully cut our carbon intensity by half over the past six years, while scaling up the adoption of low-carbon vehicles within our global ground support equipment (GSE) fleet - from 11% in FY2024 to 21% in FY2025.
Waste reduction efforts also yielded results, with food waste intensity in Singapore falling to 1%, down from 4.6% the previous year. In parallel, our focus on sustainable packaging saw 91% of packaging materials across our food operations designed to be recyclable-ready or reuse.
As SATS expands our international presence, building a unified and capable workforce remains a top priority. The Group continues to invest in leadership development, skills transformation, and employee engagement - initiatives that support adaptability and shared purpose across borders. Initiatives such as the 'Just Culture' programme promote an open, safety-driven environment, while ongoing cybersecurity training and ethical sourcing efforts reinforce operational resilience. To date,
36% of SATS' strategic suppliers
have undergone ESG screening, advancing progress toward a more responsible supply chain. These people- and integrity-focused initiatives are integral to SATS' commitment to delivering sustainable growth and maintaining its position as a trusted leader in aviation services.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We would like to express our gratitude to our shareholders for their trust and confidence in SATS as we transform the Group into

Collaboration with our customers is crucial to our success. We are thankful for this partnership, which

The air cargo sector saw significant growth momentum in FY2025. According to IATA statistics, air cargo demand recorded its highest-ever growth in
2024, surpassing the peak in 2021 with an 11.3%
year-on-year growth.
This expansion was primarily driven by strong e-commerce demand and ocean freight disruptions. For the year under review, SATS achieved a 15.1% increase in air cargo volume growth, resulting in a revenue of $2.9 billion
for cargo handling services.

Year-on-Year
We have continued to strengthen our relationships with key customers,
and their trust in our quality of service is reflected in a series of contract renewals, many of which extend our long-established partnerships with customers for over 20 years.
The synergy created by the integration of SATS and WFS is producing positive results. A notable highlight is the strengthening of our partnership with Air India which awarded contracts for 14 new stations across multiple major airports in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, in addition to
11 contract renewals with SATS and WFS.
Our collaboration with key industry players to develop new solutions continues to expand. A significant example is our partnership with Kuehne+Nagel which has led to the implementation of a number of initiatives across our global network.
We continuously enhance our e-commerce capabilities through innovation and strategic partnerships, which support significant growth in key markets.
Our growth is underpinned by our focus on operational excellence, high service quality, and continued investments
in digitalisation and automation. For instance, we tested automated forklifts at our cargo terminal in Barcelona to
improve operational efficiency, increasing storage capacity by 33.0% and saving approximately 60 human hours per week.

Sustained growth in our cargo business has led us to strengthen our global cargo handling capacity through strategic expansions across our network. Our acquisitions at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and Stockholm Arlanda Airport have added significant capacity and brought new businesses.
Our ground handling revenues grew 3.2% in FY2025 to reach $1.5 billion, supported by a favourable market environment.
Driven by the growth in international travel, IATA recorded all-time high global passenger traffic in 2024, with a 10.0% year-on-year increase in volume. The rebound in passenger traffic is reshaping the demands on airport operations.
We are positioning Singapore as
a leading hub and innovation centre to develop and pilot automation, AI,
and digital integration technologies that enable seamless coordination of both airside and landside services. These initiatives are designed to improve turnaround times and enhance customer experiences in an increasingly dynamic logistics and aviation environment.

growth in air traffic and the expanded demands that will accompany the terminal's launch. Our Singapore Hub is focused on re-engineering ground and cargo handling processes, refining operational workflows, and enhancing ecosystem coordination
to optimise Changi Airport's capacity.
In tandem, we are revamping training programmes and redesigning job roles to align with new-generation processes and evolving workforce needs.
Our ongoing commitment to excellence in air cargo operations has been recognised through various awards and industry accolades. We notably won the Cargo Handling Agent of the Year award from the Aviation Services Association (ASA). Our cargo joint venture company in Thailand, Bangkok Flight Services, received the 'Best Warehouse and Ramp' award from
Turkish Airlines. Additionally, SATS won two prestigious accolades at the 11th Payload Asia Awards - Global Ground Handler
of the Year and Ground Handler of the Year for the Asia Pacific region. Our Hong Kong subsidiary, AAT, was honoured as the Cold Chain Service Provider of the Year for the Asia Pacific, marking their second consecutive win in this category. In Singapore, we were awarded the Outstanding Partner Award 2024 by Shunfeng Express and the Platinum Award 2025 for Safety & Punctuality by British Airways.
THE AMERICAS
Over the past year, we have focused on enhancing our services, expanding our capacity, optimising operations, and
advancing sustainability initiatives across the Americas. Our goal is to serve our customers better while making a positive impact on the aviation industry and
the environment.
In line with our commitment to meet the evolving needs of our cargo customers, we have begun facility expansion projects in key locations across the United States
since 2021. Significant capacity expansions in Atlanta in 2022, Chicago in 2023, and New York in early 2025 have enhanced
our operational capabilities and use of advanced technology, enabling us to accommodate increasing demand and provide an even higher level of service excellence. For example, our new facility at JFK Airport, Building 260, is equipped with new technology such as advanced truck dock management system designed to optimise the flow of goods in and
out of the facility, leveraging real-time scheduling, automated check-ins, and digital communication between drivers and dock operators.
Our investments in building capacity and capability have strengthened our partnerships with several major airlines
across both Cargo and Ground Handling, further reinforcing our position as a trusted partner in the aviation industry. We are proud to have secured key business wins in Cargo with Qatar Airways, Cathay Cargo, Icelandair, Amerijet, Philippine Airlines, Fiji Airways, ASL Airlines, Global X Airlines, and Air India, the latter with
a multi-station agreement.
We have also expanded our network with the opening of a new cargo station in Portland. This station is strategically located to support our valued customer,
Air France KLM's new operations, as well as manage growing market demand.
In Ground Handling, we are continuously expanding our footprint with new business awards from Air France KLM, Air Canada, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, China Southern Airlines, Zipair, Flair Airlines, Allegiant, Breeze Airways, and JetBlue.
Additionally, we have been awarded a
42 SUSTAINING GROWTH, CREATING VALUE SATS Ltd. ANNUAL REPORT FY2025 43

five-year license to handle ramp and cabin cleaning services at Terminal 4 of JFK Airport, a key hub for international and domestic operations.
These strategic business wins reflect
our unwavering commitment to excellent customer service, operational efficiency, and innovation. By continuously adapting to the evolving needs of our airline partners, we solidify WFS' reputation
as a leader in cargo and ground handling services. We deliver tailored solutions and best-in-class operational performance in an increasingly dynamic and competitive market.
Our Express business in North America has seen significant growth, largely driven by the e-commerce boom. We currently operate 13 gateways across the USA for Amazon, and our strategic partnership with them has been a key driver of this expansion. Our acquisition of gateway operations in Atlanta further strengthens our position as a crucial logistics partner in the e-commerce ecosystem. Our steadfast commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and robust infrastructure continues to support and enhance our ability to meet the demands for speedy delivery in the present-day market.
WFS North America is dedicated to excellence and surpassing industry standards. We have achieved IATA
Security Management System (SeMS) certification, demonstrating our commitment to enhanced security management practices beyond mere compliance as part of our ongoing continuous improvement strategy.
In addition, our US headquarters in
North America has obtained IATA's Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO) registration, alongside accreditations at Los Angeles International Airport and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
We also maintain various Pharma Quality Good Distribution Practice (GDP) certifications in eight key locations across
the US and are in the process of obtaining GDP certification process for two additional facilities. These accomplishments showcase our unwavering focus on operational efficiency, environmental stewardship, and safety across all
aspects of our business.
WFS Brazil has experienced significant growth with the renewal of strategic contracts and the expansion of Ground Handling and Aviation Security services. In FY2025, we successfully renewed key agreements with American Airlines, Vinci, GRU Airport, Aerolíneas, and TAP.
Our Cargo business has also expanded through new partnerships with Shein, Amazon Air, China Southern, Sinerlog, and Cainiao, which boosted our market presence. We also secured new security
contracts with Aena Airports and Ambar VIP Lounge, and improved ground handling for TAP and Vinci.
With 36 stations across South America, WFS Brazil's focus on strategic contracts and operational excellence ensures continued growth and reinforces our leadership in the Brazilian market.
In early 2025, SATS completed the acquisition of the remaining minority interest shares in Orbital, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary.
EMEAA
FY2025 marked a year of strong growth and strategic developments across EMEAA. Our continued focus on enhancing operational excellence and growing cargo handling capability led to key acquisitions and expansions. These efforts resulted
in increased operational and service capabilities across the network that not only drove new business opportunities but also strengthened long-standing customer partnerships.
Our strong commitment to service quality has led to the successful renewal of long-term contracts with key global partners, including key Chinese carriers.
For example, Air China extended its cargo handling contracts to France and the UK for another three years. Our renewed contract at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport includes ramp handling and trucking services.
In the UK, we manage Air China's cargo operations at Heathrow and Gatwick, handling six weekly flights at Heathrow and three at Gatwick. Elsewhere, we extended our partnership with China Airlines at Frankfurt Airport with a multi-year cargo handling contract, furthering our 25-year collaboration across our global network.
At Bangkok Airport, we renewed contracts with KLM and Turkish Airlines. Additionally, we renewed contracts at Copenhagen and Amsterdam Schiphol. Our contract renewals reinforce our position as the airlines' preferred cargo handling partner.

SATS and Air India celebrate the new contracts and renewals,
showcasing the strength of the global SATS network.
A key highlight was the acquisition of Menzies Aviation's primary cargo handling operations at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport that increased our warehouse capacity from 17,500 square
metres to over 50,000 square metres. We now serve over 100 airline and freight forwarder customers in Amsterdam.
Besides contract renewals, we also secured several new contracts. A significant achievement this year was securing a major multi-station cargo handling contract with Air India. This contract includes services at London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Frankfurt, and Milan Malpensa.
In Germany, our subsidiary secured a five-year cargo handling cooperation with Emirates at Frankfurt Airport, further cementing our long-standing partnership. We now provide cargo handling services to Emirates at over 15 stations globally, including the recently renewed business in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
At Stockholm Arlanda Airport, we became SAS Cargo's handling partner, marking SAS's first outsourcing of handling services within Scandinavia. Following last year's acquisition of Terminal & Transporttjänst i Sigtuna AB and APH Logistics AB, we
now benefit from having more than 16,000 square metres of space across three facilities, including temperature-controlled storage and a Border Inspection Point (BIP).
In Liege, we commenced a major cargo handling collaboration with Magma Aviation by securing a new contract for warehouse cargo and freighter ramp handling for seven-weekly flights. Following this commencement, we secured new business with Maersk to manage cargo flights to and from China. Overall, our Liege business has experienced double-digit year-on-year growth, supported by new business and
e-commerce development.
We renewed our trucking contracts in the UK and France with Singapore Airlines. In addition, we were awarded the cargo handling contract for their new flights
to London Gatwick. We now provide Gateway services to Singapore Airlines at over 28 stations globally.
In March, we expanded our partnership with SF Airlines to include India, welcoming them to Bangalore and enhancing connectivity between China and India. This addition complements our existing cargo handling partnership with SF Airlines in Frankfurt and Liege.
We work closely with key customers and industry players to enhance efficiencies in the supply chain. In Germany,
we launched a collaboration with Kuehne+Nagel to streamline and expedite import cargo clearances. This initiative was developed by our specialised
e-commerce, Freight Forwarder Handling (EFFH) team in collaboration with Kuehne+Nagel. It helps optimise warehouse capacity and generate efficiencies for the freight forwarder.
To support the growth of our business, we made a number of strategic acquisitions aimed at expanding
our capacity and strengthening our capabilities. A key highlight was the acquisition of Menzies Aviation's primary cargo handling operations at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. This acquisition increased our warehouse capacity from 17,500 square metres to over 50,000 square metres. We now serve over 100 airline and freight forwarder customers in Amsterdam, reinforcing our commitment to Schiphol's cargo community and boosting our market share at one of Europe's leading cargo hubs.
We also expanded our warehouse footprint in other locations. In Scandinavia, we added a new 4,800 square metres on-airport warehouse at Copenhagen Airport. This facility not only serves our airline customers but also supports the growth of our EFFH services within the region. Additionally,
we acquired Wallenborn's Copenhagen-based freight forwarder handling business following a long-standing local partnership with them. We also made significant

The return of Chinese travellers notably contributed to a significant increase in passenger traffic across major hubs in Asia. A significant milestone was achieved in January 2025 with the renewal of 11 contracts and the awarding of 14 new contracts by Air India. We are proud to have won this global tender in collaboration with SATS stations in the US and EMEAA region. This development notably
strengthens SATS' partnership with Air India by adding more cargo and ground handling stations across the APAC region, including Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, and Saudi Arabia. We have also improved our yield this year through pricing optimisation and service value enhancements.
In April 2025, SATS inaugurated the AISATS Bangalore Logistics Park at Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru. This logistics park provides
a comprehensive range of cargo-handling services tailored to the needs of the export-import (EXIM) community, freight forwarders, and supply chain companies, facilitating smoother transportation and consolidation of cargo. The Integrated Cargo Terminal (ICT) will be operational by 2026 and the Integrated Warehousing and Logistics Zone (IWLZ) at Noida
International Airport is slated for completion by 2027, with a combined cargo-handling capacity of three million metric tonnes.
In November 2024, SATS partnered Avilog Logistics Services to expand our operations in Saudi Arabia, capitalising on the region's rapidly growing aviation and logistics sector. This collaboration aims to enhance
operational synergies and strengthen SATS' service offerings across Saudi Arabia.
SATS strengthened its position in Hong Kong by partnering with AAT, SATS HK Limited, and DHL Air Capacity Sales in January 2025. Additionally, in February
2025, AAT expanded its collaboration with Hongkong Post, facilitating export mail handling during a transitional period in preparation for the completion of the new Air Mail Centre's completion in 2027.
The Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore (MBCCS) is set to undergo its most extensive upgrade since it opened in 2012. This improvement will enhance its capacity to handle an increased passenger volume and accommodate dual ship calls, which
is becoming increasingly common with the rise of larger cruise ships. Following the upgrade, handling capacity is anticipated to grow from 6,800 to 11,700 passengers. The Singapore Tourism Board (STB)
has extended SATS-Creuers' operator agreement for MBCCS for eight years, with the option to extend for another two years.
The extension, which could potentially run from May 2027 till March 2037, was formalised with the signing of a revised management and operator agreement in December 2024.
Over the past year, Singapore Hub embarked on a transformative journey to re-engineer a more efficient, resilient, and future-ready operation. We focused on increasing capacity, developing
new capabilities, and leveraging digital technologies and AI to optimise resource deployment, reinforcing Singapore's position and competitiveness as a global aviation hub and strengthening our readiness for sustained growth.
We renewed our ground and cargo handling licence at Singapore Changi Airport for the next decade, securing our continued presence in one of the world's premier aviation gateways. This renewal underscores the strength of our long-standing partnership with Changi
Airport Group. We also renewed long-term agreements with our largest customer, Singapore Airlines Group, reaffirming our role as a trusted and strategic partner in delivering reliable, high-quality ground and cargo services.
In Cargo, we strengthened strategic partnerships with Shunfeng Express and Kuehne+Nagel. Our dedicated airside e-commerce logistics centre with Shunfeng Express reduces handling times and increases capacity to meet

growing demands of e-commerce. With Kuehne+Nagel, we co-developed an innovative airside logistics solution now deployed by Sterling Global Aviation Logistics to expedite secure, time-critical shipments, such as aircraft spare parts for 'aircraft on ground' (AOG) situations.
To improve the cargo agent experience and reduce congestion, we introduced a truck dock management system at our export terminals in August 2024. The system improved vehicle flow, reduced dwell times, and streamlined cargo
drop-off processes. In April 2025, we launched a 3,000 sqm Built-Up Pallet Handling Centre (BUPHC), which increases our throughput capacity by 150,000 tonnes annually. We have also commenced the transformation of our import terminal to a mixed cargo facility, introducing an information-controlled build-up process validated through digital twin technology. This advancement is set to unlock additional capacity and productivity upon completion in 2027.
In Ground Handling, we welcomed five new airline customers, including Cathay Pacific, AirAsia Cambodia, and Peach Aviation, and renewed contracts with 15 existing partners, underscoring continued confidence in our operational capabilities, safety standards, and service performance.
We continued building the Hub Handler of the Future. Our in-house Digital Station Manager Live platform integrates real-time data from multiple sources to coordinate the complexities of high-
volume operations across multiple ground handling teams. The expanded Ground Operations System (GOPS) empowers frontline teams with real-time visibility to manage tasks, events, and resources more effectively. We are also codifying the knowledge of our most experienced staff and applying AI, including the use
of image recognition to verify cargo is properly secured in aircraft holds, enhancing safety and reducing error.
Together, these digital systems form the foundation for scenario forecasting, decision simulations, and intelligent resource allocation, enabling more
adaptive and efficient hub management.
Beyond technology, we have re-engineered how we work. In
collaboration with NTUC and our worker unions, we redesigned job roles and introduced competency-based training models to upskill and empower our workforce. These efforts help ensure that our people grow with the business and remain equipped to deliver high performance in a fast-changing operational landscape.
We will continue to rejuvenate our Ground Support Equipment, upgrade critical infrastructure across our Airfreight Terminals, and drive safety, service, and efficiency through technology, process redesign, workforce transformation, and
close collaboration with our unions, airport authorities, and airline partners.
LOOKING AHEAD
New tariff policies under the new U.S. administration may impact global trade flows and air freight demand.
While heightened trade tensions could temporarily disrupt established routes, they may also accelerate shifts toward time-sensitive shipments and alternative sourcing strategies - driving increased reliance on air freight for high-value goods. With our extensive network and strong presence in key markets,
we are well-positioned to adapt to evolving trade dynamics and capture growth opportunities in the changing air logistics landscape.

a digital platform called the Culinary Knowledge Base. It is designed to retain knowledge and harmonise preparation and cooking processes, while allowing for local adaptation, to ensure consistent authenticity across our network.
FOCUS ON AVIATION
This year, we have made significant investments to enhance our capabilities. A key development has been the acquisition of full ownership of SATS Food Solutions Thailand (SFST), an essential
asset in our production network operations. This acquisition gives SATS full control over SFST's development and expansion plans. Located within Thailand's well-established food ecosystem and equipped with advanced technology and production facilities, SFST is a centre of excellence
for large-scale production of SATS Fresh Frozen Meals (FFM) and pre-cooked ingredients. Construction of a new state-of-the-art facility at SFST is underway, increasing its daily output of FFM to 108,000 meals.
SATS has invested in developing FFM since acquiring Nanjing Weizhou Airline Food Corp. Ltd.(NWA) in 2019. Today, NWA benefits from a leadership position in FFM meal production serving Chinese carriers. Due to the increasing demand for FFM, we are retrofitting SATS Inflight
Catering Centre in Singapore to include the
installation of a Fresh Frozen Meal Thawing
Chamber (FFMTC) with the capacity to thaw 61,000 FFM per day. The FFMTC
will be equipped with an automated storage and retrieval system, along with dedicated management controls to track inventory and ensure the traceability of meals. SATS is the world's first aviation food solutions provider to deploy an automated FFM thawing chamber.
New trends are emerging with the resurgence of global travel. Outbound tourism spending by Indian and Southeast Asian tourists is expected to rise significantly, which may increase demand for Asian meals on airlines. A noteworthy trend is emerging among Chinese travellers too. An estimated 38% of them are first-time travellers, with a significant majority,

We are proud to be awarded the PAX International Airline Caterer of the Year for Asia once again, marking
our seventh consecutive year winning this award. This is a testament to our capability in developing comprehensive aviation food solutions and our commitment to culinary excellence.

implementation and awareness initiatives.
At the heart of our sustainability journey lies a robust ESG Framework designed to translate our global ambitions into tangible, measurable outcomes, guided by a clear three-stage approach: comply, optimise, and transform. This framework provides a clear structure for how we govern, deliver, and embed our ESG priorities across all levels of the organisation; and ensures regulatory compliance, operational efficiency, and long-term value creation.
Together, these pillars enable us to turn our Group strategy into action, creating value for our business and our stakeholders.

Sustainability
OUR COMMITMENTS TO SAFETY
Health, Safety, Security, and Environment (HSSE) excellence is critical to our licence to operate and our responsibility to employees, customers, and partners. In FY2025, we took bold steps to elevate our HSSE standards. We continue to emphasize the importance of safety in all our operations and are fostering an injury-free culture.
We integrated Pulse, WFS's digital HSSE system, across all SATS operations, harmonising incident reporting, risk assessments,
and compliance protocols. We are developing a new Safety Management System (SMS), to be launched in FY2026, which will
standardise safety processes globally and improve risk mitigation.
Risk reduction initiatives included:
Upgrading our forklift fleet with
enhanced safety features
Rolling out proximity sensors in
high-traffic zones
Implementing a Plant and Equipment Register to improve visibility, maintenance, and risk management of critical assets
We also conducted engagement workshops to unify HSSE standards and strengthen leadership accountability. To reinforce our cultural values, we launched
a new HSSE identity alongside a behavioural framework built
around six key habits: be trained, be focused, follow, challenge, keep and report.

In parallel, we rolled out our "Just Culture" programme empowering employees to report safety concerns while building a transparent and learning-oriented environment. The programme distinguishes between human error and reckless behaviour, and promotes fairness, transparency, and continuous improvement across the organisation. This reflects our belief that a strong safety culture
is not only about compliance - it's about creating an environment where everyone goes home safe, every day.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
Our FY2025 total carbon footprint is 1,287,885 tCO2e composed by 19%
scope 1 emissions, 6% scope 2 and
75% scope 3. 75% of the Group's emissions are generated by our Food Solutions activities and 25% are coming from our Gateway Services.
SATS has committed to reduce our scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030 from baselines established for Singapore-based operations in 2020 and for overseas in 2024. As a Group, we emitted 316,265 tCO2e
in FY2025, representing a 4.6% net reduction compared to baseline.
Over the years, SATS has made significant improvements, halving our Group carbon intensity in just 6 years from 111 tCO2e per SGD million of revenues in FY2020 to 54 in FY2025. Compared to 64 in FY2024, the Group improved its carbon intensity by 15%. This is the result of our efforts in reducing our total fuel consumption through electrification of our fleet and adoption of low-emission alternative fuels, modernisation of our refrigeration systems in our kitchens and cold chain facilities, and transition to renewable energy in our buildings.
Low-Emission Vehicles
SATS made measurable strides in reducing our carbon footprint. Scope 1 emissions from fuel combustion declined by 2% to 113,649 tCO2e, as we transitioned to a more sustainable vehicle fleet. LEV (low-emission vehicle) adoption doubled to 21% globally, led by 100% adoption in India and Sweden, with over 90% penetration in Belgium, Denmark, and the Netherlands. In Singapore, LEV
adoption reached 31% as we work with Changi Airport Group to transit to full green mobility by 2040.
We introduced hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO100) biofuels for ground support equipment in France and the UK and deployed
electric and autonomous tractors in Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Ireland. These initiatives contribute to energy efficiency, reduce operating costs, and long-term emissions reductions.
Renewable Energy
In FY2025, SATS reduced scope 2 emissions by 16%, to 75,914 tCO2e. Globally, we increased renewable energy use covering 27% of total electricity consumption. Our strategy combines rooftop solar installations (a total of 18.3 MWp deployed across 9 markets), green power purchase agreements (PPAs), and
certified green electricity procurement initiatives. Energy efficiency initiatives - including LED lighting retrofits, smart motion sensors, and chilled water system upgrades -contribute to deliver further emissions reductions. In Singapore, a "Cooling as a Service" agreement for our catering centre is projected to
save 4.5 GWh annually.
Refrigerants
Scope 1 emissions from refrigerant leakage increased due to business growth, totalling 126,701 tCO2e.
Mitigation efforts include transitioning to low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants and enhancing maintenance practices. In India and Thailand, we deployed ammonia-based refrigeration systems -
using a refrigerant gas with zero GWP - while in Singapore, we replaced aging coil fans to reduce fugitive emissions.
WASTE & PACKAGING
We continued advancing our circular economy agenda. In Singapore, food waste intensity fell to 1%, significantly ahead of our 2030 target of a 50%
reduction from a 4.1% baseline. Across overseas operations, food waste intensity decreased by over 6% compared to the FY2024 baseline.
Overall, 91% of food packaging materials used globally are reusable or recyclable ready.
Innovation remains a core strategy. In the US, the use of biodegradable stretch wrap in cargo operations prevented the equivalent of over 665 tonnes of plastic from ending up
in landfill in FY2025. At Liege Airport, the Continuous Improvement team reduced the use of shrink foil on the pallet build-up process, saving
44 tons of plastic per year. In Singapore, we partnered with local start-ups to convert plastic into road materials, food waste into energy, and repurposed coffee grounds
into new food products. These collaborations enable scalable, locally adapted solutions for waste reduction.
In aviation, SATS hosted the largest Cabin Waste Composition Audit (CWCA) in 2024, covering 25 aircrafts and 6 tonnes of waste. This pioneering initiative from Aviation Sustainability Forum (ASF) contributed to IATA's
formal recognition of the CWCA methodology as the global industry standard.
LOOKING AHEAD
SATS is committed to halving our scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 contributing to accelerate the aviation sector's transition to a more sustainable future. We will
continue to scale renewable energy
adoption, decarbonise our fleet and infrastructure, and deepen collaboration with customers, suppliers, and regulators. By building strong ESG foundations and driving local ownership, SATS
is positioning itself as a global leader in sustainable aviation, logistics
and food solutions provider.
Over the past six years, SATS has made significant improvements, halving our Group's carbon intensity.
In terms of scope 1 and 2 emission reductions, we emitted 316,265 tCO2e in FY2025,
representing a 4.6% net reduction.
