Financial Review
Performance of the Group
(continued)
Group Earnings (continued)
Excluding Tiger Airways, Group expenditure decreased by
$195 million (-1.3 per cent) year-on-year to $14,790 million,
primarily from a $263 million reduction in net fuel cost. Before
hedging, fuel cost declined $899 million, with the average jet
fuel price sliding 15.4 per cent from a year earlier and a 1.6 per
cent fall in volume uplied, partially oset by the stronger US
Dollar against the Singapore Dollar, and a $549 million hedging
loss compared to the hedging gain of $87 million last year.
Non-fuel costs increased $68 million, primarily due to higher
lease rentals with more aircra on lease, alleviated by lower
depreciation and sta costs.

Consequently, the Groups operating profit excluding
Tiger Airways improved $160 million to $419 million for the
financial year ended 31 March 2015. Except for SIA Engineering
Company (“SIAEC Group”), operating performance for
all the major companies in the Group improved from the
preceding year. Singapore Airlines (“the Company”) recorded
an operating profit of $340 million in the financial year, an
improvement of $84 million from a year ago. SIAEC Groups
operating profit was $32 million lower, as the reduction
in revenue (-$59 million) outstripped the reduction in
expenditure (-$27 million). SIA Cargo narrowed its full
year operating loss by $78 million to $22 million, largely
attributable to its capacity rationalisation eort in response to
excess capacity in the air cargo market. Please refer to the review
of the Company and subsidiary companies for further details.
