Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the financial year.
For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the profit attributable to owners of the Company is adjusted to take into account the potential dilution from interest on convertible bonds, net of tax, and share-based incentive plans of a subsidiary company. The weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company in issue is also adjusted to take into account effects of dilutive convertible bonds and share-based incentive plans of the Company.

The figures in the table may not sum up to the stated totals because of rounding.
SIA and Scoot carried a record 42.4 million passengers in FY2025/26, up 7.7% year-on-year as the global demand for air travel remained robust. Group passenger load factor (PLF) rose
percentage points to 87.7%, as traffic growth of 4.7% outpaced capacity expansion of 3.4%. Passenger yields rose 1.0% to 10.4 cents per revenue passenger-kilometre.
Cargo flown revenue declined by $45 million (-2.1%) to $2,167 million, largely due to a 3.6% fall in yields. Cargo load factor (CLF) edged up 0.2 percentage points to 56.3%, as cargo loads grew 1.7%, slightly outpacing the 1.4% increase in capacity.
15. PERFORMANCE REVIEW (continued)GROUP FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE (continued)
Financial Year FY2025/26 - Profit and Loss (continued)
As a result, the Group achieved a record revenue of $20,522 million for FY2025/26, up $982 million (+5.0%) year-on-year.
Group expenditure rose $317 million (+1.8%) to $18,148 million, as the higher non-fuel expenditure (+$677 million; +5.4%) was partially offset by lower net fuel cost (-$361 million;
-6.7%). Non-fuel expenditure increased mainly due to the overall capacity expansion and higher costs that were driven by inflationary pressures. Net fuel cost decreased due to the 5.6% contraction in full-year average fuel prices (-$310 million) and higher fuel hedging gains (-$88 million), partially offset by increased volumes uplifted (+$221 million).
Accordingly, the Group posted an operating profit of $2,375 million for FY2025/26, $665 million (+39.0%) higher year-on-year.
The Group's net profit declined by $1,594 million (-57.4%) to $1,184 million, primarily due to the absence of the $1,098 million non-cash accounting gain recognised in November 2024 upon the completion of the Air India-Vistara merger. The swing from a share of profits of associated companies last year to a loss this year (-$846 million) was due to the Group accounting for its share of Air India's full year losses, versus only four months the previous year.
Second Half FY2025/26 - Profit and Loss
The Group's operating profit for the second half of FY2025/26 rose by $658 million (+72.0%) year-on-year to $1,572 million, a record second half. This was bolstered by record second half revenue of $10,847 million, up $804 million (+8.0%). Higher passenger flown revenue (+$699 million; 8.5%) was driven by stronger yields (+3.8%) and passenger traffic (+4.7%). PLF rose
0.8 percentage points to 87.6%, the highest for any second half period. Cargo flown revenue fell by $14 million (-1.3%), from weaker yields (-3.5%), partly mitigated by higher loads (+2.2%). CLF increased 1.2 percentage points to 56.1%.
Group expenditure increased by $146 million (+1.6%) to $9,275 million, driven by higher non-fuel expenditure (+$324 million; +5.0%), partly offset by lower net fuel cost (-$178 million;
-6.7%). Non-fuel expenditure rose mainly due to capacity growth and higher cost pressures. The decline in net fuel cost reflects the swing from a fuel hedging loss in the prior year to a gain this year (-$231 million), partially offset by higher volume uplifted (+$91 million) and the 1.9% rise in fuel prices (+$58 million). Jet fuel is typically priced on a lagged basis. After taking into account the timing of fuel hedging settlements, the higher jet fuel price environment arising from the Middle East conflict was only partially reflected in the net fuel cost for March 2026. The full impact of the higher jet fuel prices is expected to feed through in FY2026/27.
The second half net profit of $945 million was $1,091 million (-53.6%) lower than the year before. This was largely due to the absence of the one-off non-cash accounting gain from the disposal of Vistara (-$1,098 million) recognised a year ago.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW (continued)
BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
(March 2026 vs March 2025)
Equity attributable to owners of the company increased by $1,606 million (+10.3%) to $17,262 million as at 31 March 2026 largely due to the following:
net profit of $1,184 million earned for the financial year;
issuance of new shares upon conversion of Convertible Bonds Due 2025 (+$916 million);
fair value gain (+$716 million) which arose mainly from fuel hedges with the increase in average forward fuel prices;
partially offset by dividend payments (-$1,162 million).
Total Group assets increased by $326 million (+0.8%) to $43,413 million. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in derivative assets (+$848 million), property, plant and equipment (+$615 million), partially offset by a decrease in associated companies (-$846 million) and cash and bank balances (-$326 million).
The decrease in cash and bank balances was primarily due to capital expenditure (-$2,628 million), dividend payments (-$1,162 million), repayment of borrowings (-$774 million) and bonds (-$700 million), lease payments (-$589 million), and purchase of short-term investments (-$208 million), partly offset by net cash generated from operations (+$5,103 million), proceeds from issuance of fixed rate note (+$500 million) and borrowings (+$135 million).
Total Group liabilities decreased by $1,290 million (-4.8%) to $25,727 million, primarily arising from the decrease in borrowings (-$1,844 million) and lease liabilities (-$426 million). These were partly offset by an increase in deferred taxes (+$568 million) and sales in advance of carriage (+$370 million).
The Group's negative working capital arose largely from the collection of cash in advance of services provided. Excluding the liability under "sales in advance of carriage", the Group's working capital would be $4,454 million as at 31 March 2026.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW (continued)
Commentary at the date of announcement of the 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
OUTLOOK
Heightened geopolitical tensions, including the conflict in the Middle East, are a major headwind for the airline industry. The most immediate impact is on jet fuel prices, which have more than doubled since the conflict began, adding significant cost pressure for airlines. As the Group's fuel bills are typically priced on a lagged basis, the impact is only partially reflected in March 2026. The full impact is expected to feed through in FY2026/27. While SIA and Scoot have raised air fares across their network, the adjustments do not fully offset the rise in the price of jet fuel, which is the Group's single-largest expenditure item. Depending on the duration and how the situation in the Middle East develops, there could be broader implications for supply chains and macroeconomic conditions affecting demand patterns.
At the same time, these shifts may present opportunities for the SIA Group. The Group's well-diversified global passenger and cargo network, anchored by the strength of Singapore as a strategic hub, and its dual-brand portfolio of SIA and Scoot, provide the flexibility to adjust schedules and capacity where necessary, and pursue opportunities as they arise.
The Group manages cost volatility through its established risk management framework, which includes fuel hedging. This is underpinned by a robust balance sheet, industry-leading digital capabilities - particularly in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) - and its talented, resilient, and motivated staff. The Group will continue to prioritise the safety of customers and staff, while maintaining disciplined cost management and productivity initiatives.
The Group will leverage these strong foundations to seize opportunities, and continue investing in the key pillars of its brand promise - service excellence, product leadership, and network connectivity. It will also harness its airline portfolio, while strengthening win-win partnerships with other like-minded carriers. This will enable the Group to remain focused and adaptable as it manages challenges, and strengthen its long-term competitive position.
