Losses Deepen From S$6.2m To S$28.8m

• Net income loss widened from S$6.2 million in the first half of FY 2024 to S$28.8 million in the first half of FY 2025, while basic EPS loss moved from S$0.0083 to S$0.0649 over the same periods.
• Bears focus on this step up in losses, and the trailing 12 month net loss of S$292.4 million, as evidence that the business is still far from break even.
  • Losses have grown at an annualized rate of 63.8% over the last five years, which critics highlight as a key reason to treat any turnaround claims with caution.
  • What stands out for cautious investors is that this larger loss came alongside first half FY 2025 revenue of S$35.7 million, which is below the S$56.2 million reported in the first half of FY 2024.

Revenue Slips While Trailing Losses Stack Up

• On a trailing 12 month basis Synagistics generated S$81.3 million of revenue and recorded a net loss of S$292.4 million, compared with S$101.9 million of revenue and a S$269.8 million loss in the prior second half period.
• The bearish view that the core business is not yet absorbing its cost base is reinforced by this pattern of relatively modest revenue against very large losses.
  • Critics point to trailing basic EPS of S$1.0315 loss and the earlier S$0.6208 loss in FY 2024 second half as signs that shareholders have absorbed sizeable value erosion per share over a short period.
  • With no earnings or revenue growth expectations provided in the data, bears argue that the only hard reference points available right now are these trailing losses and the multi year deterioration in profit performance.

P/S Of 2.9x Sits Between Industry And Peers

• Synagistics trades on a P/S of 2.9x, which is higher than the Hong Kong software industry average of 2.4x but below the peer group average of 7x, alongside a current share price of S$3.16.
• What is interesting for investors weighing a more constructive stance is how this mid range P/S multiple sits against the company’s unprofitable record.
  • On one hand, the higher P/S than the broader industry can be read as the market assigning some value to Synagistics’ business profile despite losses that have grown at 63.8% per year over five years.
  • On the other hand, the discount to the 7x peer average gives room for investors who focus on comparative sales multiples to argue that the current price already reflects part of the loss making history.
