SEMBCORP Industries' earnings slumped 34 per cent in the first quarter, despite a rise in revenue, in the absence of a one-off gain from the disposal of Cosco Shipyard Group in the year-ago period.

The utilities, marine and urban development group on Thursday reported a net profit of S$76.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, down from S$116.3 million a year ago. This translates to earnings per share of 3.64 Singapore cents, down from 5.98 Singapore cents a year ago.
