The free cash flow for the quarter was S$72.3 million, up from S$27.7 million in the same period last year, mainly due to the higher operating cash flow.

There is just a single negative point that investors should know from the most recent quarterly results, which is the weaker execution in SATS' partners and joint ventures. Partners and joint ventures benefit after assessment commitment declined hardly by 1.3% to S$15.3 million. The fall was chiefly because of weaker execution from Gateway Services, where benefit after assessment descended by 8.3% to S$11.1 million.
