Singapore Flyer operator Straco Q3 profit down 8% at S$10.7 million

[SINGAPORE] Singapore Flyer operator Straco posted a net profit of S$10.7 million for its third quarter ended Sep 30, 8 per cent down from S$11.7 million in the year-ago period.

Its revenue fell 13.4 per cent to S$27.2 million from S$31.4 million, Straco said on Thursday (Nov 27).

The group noted that both its China and Singapore businesses remained profitable for Q3 2025. However, it recorded the declines as consumer sentiment for the quarter was muted compared with previous years, with uneven performance across its various operating assets.

For the three months, its Shanghai Ocean Aquarium scored higher revenue and profit as compared with Q3 2024. However, its Xiamen aquarium and cable car service in Xi’an clocked lower revenue and profit due to reduced spending among Chinese tourists and heightened competition.

Nonetheless, Straco remains “cautiously optimistic” about the tourism industry with crowds set to return during the summer holidays.

Its operating profit for the quarter fell to S$15.7 million, 11.6 per cent down year on year from S$17.8 million, while its profit after tax declined 9 per cent to S$11.3 million from S$12.5 million previously.

The company’s net cash generated from operating activities amounted to S$16.4 million for Q3 2025, 23.7 per cent lower than that of Q3 2024. It said that its financial position remained strong with net cash holdings of S$185 million as at Sep 30.

For the nine months ended September, the company posted a net profit of S$16.1 million, a 27.4 per cent decrease from S$22.2 million in the previous corresponding period.

Revenue for the nine months dropped 11 per cent on the year to S$59.9 million from S$67.3 million.
