Sembcorp Industries’ net profit down 2.4% to $801.1m in FY14

Due to one-off impairments.

Sembcorp Industries reported that its net profit slipped 2.4% to $801.1m in FY14 due to a number of one-off items.

These significant items included a $43.5m gain from the initial public offering of Salalah Power and Water Company, which was offset by an impairment made for utilities operations in the UK as well as a fair value loss recorded following the reclassification of Gallant Venture as an available-for-sale financial asset.

Excluding these one-off items, Sembcorp’s net profit increased 3% on-year.

The utilities business continued to be the group’s main profit contributor. It raked in $408 million in 2014, representing 51% of the group’s net profit.

Its marine business was the second largest contributor with $340m, representing 42% of the group’s net profit.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
