Sembcorp Marine's net profit plunged 14% to $106m in Q1

Due to lower revenue, higher opex and forex loss.

Sembcorp Marine reported that its net profit plunged 14% year-on-year to $106m in the first quarter, dragged by lower revenue, higher operating expenses and forex loss.

Turnover for the Rig building sector declined 5% year-on-year from $796m to $753m. Ship repair revenue was 37% lower at $100m in the quarter as average revenue per vessel remained low although the number of ships repaired increased.

SembMarine also grappled with a $10.9m forex loss caused mainly by the revaluation of assets and liabilities denominated in Euro, United States dollar and Brazilian Real.

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.
