Disposal of investment in subsidiaries and associates A - Disposal of subsidiary, WFS Ground Solutions Ltd
On 1 April 2025, the Group disposed of its entire shareholding in WFS Ground Solutions Ltd, a 100% owned subsidiary in Edinburgh for EUR 6.2 million ($9.2 million). The impact of disposal is not material to the Group.
B - Partial disposal of associate, PT Cahaya Aero Services Tbk ("PT CAS")On 16 April 2024, Cemerlang Pte Ltd ("Cemerlang"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company sold 9.85% of the issued share capital of PT CAS to PT Roket Cipta Sentosa (the "Purchaser").
Pursuant to a Put and Call Share Option Agreement between Cemerlang and the Purchaser, the Purchaser had exercised its call option on 26 March 2025 to acquire 208,695,000 ordinary shares in PT CAS, representing 10% of the issued share capital of PT CAS, from Cemerlang for IDR 253.4 billion ($20.5 million).
The 10% stake in PT CAS measured at fair value was presented as assets held for sale as at 31 March 2025. Management assessed the fair value of 10% shareholding in PT CAS to be $43.0 million. A forward liability that is measured at the difference between fair value and the strike price of disposal was recognised on the balance sheet, representing the irrevocable obligation of Cemerlang to sell the 10% stake in PT CAS.
The gain or loss on the transactions above, including the fair value measurement and forward liability as at 31 March 2025, recognised in FY2025 was not material to the Group.
The partial disposal of 10% shareholding in PT CAS was subsequently completed on 11 April 2025, with no additional gain or loss on disposal recorded in FY2026.
C - Disposal of associate, SERVAIR-SATS Holding Company Pte LtdOn 26 June 2025, the Group disposed of its entire shareholding in SERVAIR-SATS Holding Company Pte Ltd, representing 49% of the issued capital of the SERVAIR-SATS Holding Company Pte Ltd for EUR 4.15 million ($6.1 million). The impact of disposal is not material to the Group.
D - Partial disposal of subsidiary, SATS Saudi Arabia Company ("SATS SA")On 28 July 2025, the Group divested 49% of the issued share capital of SATS SA to Avilog Logistics Services Company for a cash consideration of SAR 147 million ($50.2 million). SATS may also receive an additional cash payment of up to SAR 196 million (approximately $68 million), contingent upon SATS SA achieving the agreed performance objectives as per the terms of the sales and purchase agreement.
Upon completion of the partial divestment, the Group holds 51% shareholding in SATS SA. Management assessed that SATS continues to have control over SATS SA and it remains a subsidiary of the Group.
The gain on divestment including the fair value of contingent consideration, tax and transaction costs amounting to $69.5 million was recognised in reserve instead of income statement as a transaction that results in change in ownership interest while retaining control is accounted for as transaction with equity holder in its capacity as equity holder.

Restricted Share Plan ("RSP") and Performance Share Plan ("PSP")
Management employees may qualify for two share-based incentive plans, the RSP and PSP.
The RSP award is subject to the achievement of the pre-determined target over a one-year period and has an equal vesting over a three-year period. The number of restricted shares awarded is based on individual and corporate performance.
PSP has a performance period of three years. The number of performance shares awarded is based on individual and corporate performance and the final performance shares awarded could range between 0% and 150% of the initial grant, subject to achievement of the pre-determined targets.
In the Remuneration and Human Resources Committee ("RHRC") meeting on 7 May 2024, RHRC approved a five-year Transformation Incentive Scheme ("TI") for Group Management Board only to support the five-year business transformation journey. The award granted on 20 September 2024 replaces the PSP grants for 2024, 2025, and 2026. The final number of shares that may be vested under TI will range from 0% to 150% of the initial grant and is contingent on the achievement of transformation targets pre-determined by RHRC.
As at 30 September 2025, the number of shares outstanding under the Company's RSP and PSP were 19,131,351 and 7,165,179 (30 September 2024: 13,753,800 and 7,016,282) respectively.

Fair value management
Financial assets and financial liabilities are measured on an ongoing basis either at fair value or at amortised cost. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques.
Financial assets and financial liabilities that are classified as measured at amortised cost with carrying amounts being a reasonable approximation of their fair values, either due to their short-term nature or that they are floating rate instruments that are re-priced to market interest rates on or near the balance sheet date or the fixed interest rates approximate the market interest rates for such assets/liabilities. These financial assets include trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents and contingent consideration. These financial liabilities include trade and other payables, notes and borrowings.
The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles at the end of the reporting period.
The fair value of cross currency or interest rate swap is the estimated amount that the swap contract can be exchanged for or settled with under normal market conditions. This fair value can be estimated using the discounted cash flow method where the future cash flows of the swap contract are discounted at the prevailing market foreign exchange rates and interest rates. Market interest rates are actively quoted interest rates or interest rates computed by applying techniques to these actively quoted interest rates.

Review of group performance
GROUP INCOME STATEMENT REVIEW FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025 ("1H FY2026")
Amid continued volatility to global trade flows, SATS Group achieved 1H FY2026 revenue of $3.08 billion, an increase of 9.1% compared to the same period last year. The Group attributes this performance to cargo volume growth and steady contributions from ground handling and food services.
Gateway Services revenue rose 11.0% year-on-year to $2.39 billion, driven by continued market share gains with cargo volumes that outperformed IATA's global growth benchmarks and growth in flight volumes.
Food Solutions revenue grew 3.2% year-on-year to $684.8 million, reflecting stable inflight meal demand amid air travel expansion in Asia-Pacific.
The Group's expenditure (excluding depreciation and amortisation) increased 8.3% year-on-year to $2.5 billion.
Operating profit for 1H FY2026 rose 17.7% year-on-year to $282.6 million, with operating profit margin expanding from 8.5% to 9.2% year-on-year. This improvement reflects favourable operating leverage from volume growth and continued operational efficiency gains.
The share of earnings from associates and joint ventures decreased 7.3% to $60.6 million year-on-year, primarily due to a one-off net gain recognised in the prior-year period and ramp-up costs associated with new customer onboarding in a joint venture.
The Group posted PATMI of $149.8 million, an increase of 11.2% over the half year ended 30 September 2024.
GROUP FINANCIAL POSITION REVIEW
Total equity increased by $134.0 million, reaching $2.90 billion as of 30 September 2025, compared to 31 March 2025. This increase was primarily attributed to the profit generated in the half year ended 30 September 2025.
Non-current assets increased by $79.6 million to $6.91 billion as of 30 September 2025. This increase was mainly due to the contingent consideration recognised in relation to the partial divestment of SATS Saudi Arabia Company as well as increase in right-of-use assets and PPE.
Current assets reduced by $74.1 million to $1.98 billion, driven by disposal of interest in associate that was classified as assets held for sale as at 31 March 2025 and lower cash balance.
Non-current liabilities increased by $760.7 million to $3.38 billion primarily due to the issuance SGD 300 million and USD 200 million fixed rate notes.
Current liabilities decreased by $889.2 million to $2.60 billion primarily due to repayment of borrowings and lower trade payables balance.
GROUP CASH FLOWS REVIEW
Net cash inflow from operating activities increased to $356.8 million, compared to $225.4 million recorded in the corresponding period last year driven mainly by higher operating profit for the half year period and improved working capital.
Net cash used in investing activities increased to $28.6 million, compared to $27.9 million recorded in the corresponding period last year driven mainly by higher capital expenditures. This was partly offset by the increase in dividends from associates.
Net cash used in financing activities increased to $356.5 million, compared to $323.3 million in the last financial period driven mainly by increased lease liabilities payment, net repayment of borrowings and dividend payment to shareholders. This was partly offset by the proceeds from disposal of non-controlling interest and lower factoring payments.

Not applicable.
- A commentary at the date of the announcement of the significant trends and competitive conditions of the industry in which the group operates and any known factors or events that may affect the group in the next reporting period and the next 12 months.
Our second quarter performance reflects was resilient amid evolving market conditions. Gateway Services continues to demonstrate strength, leveraging its broad customer base and network scale, while Food Solutions is positioned to capture stable meal demand across the region.
SATS has outperformed IATA benchmarks over the past eight consecutive quarters, though second quarter volumes reflected in part accelerated customer shipments ahead of tariff implementations. As trade patterns continue to adjust to changing policies, we remain focused on adapting operations across our network to manage volume shifts while maintaining operational discipline.
Our network continues to support market share gains, and Americas and EMEAA are expanding specialised capabilities to capture e-commerce and freight-forwarder volumes. Recent developments include the opening of a new E-Commerce and Freight Forwarder Handling facility at Copenhagen Airport, and the renewal of Air China Cargo contract in Liège, reinforcing our position in key European hubs and e-commerce corridors. In 2QFY26, we onboarded and ramped-up operations for several new customers, including Emirates SkyCargo and eDirect Transport at Frankfurt Cargo Services and Turkish Airlines at JFK Airport's Building 260.
In Singapore, the Group continues to strengthen its role as the anchor of SATS' global network. The newly announced Hub Handler of the Future programme will reimagine air hub operations through automation and workforce innovation, supporting Changi's long-term competitiveness. Beyond aviation, Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore, managed by SATS-Creuers Cruise Services, has completed a $40 million upgrade to accommodate dual-ship calls and enhance passenger experience. Together, these initiatives underscore SATS' commitment to advancing Singapore as a world-class hub for trade and travel.
Looking ahead, we will continue to prioritise operational efficiency and disciplined cost management amid continued uncertainty in global trade flows. Leveraging our global network advantage, we are well-positioned to drive profitable growth.
