Sembcorp Marine warns of continued losses ahead of earnings report

The offshore engineering group is set to declare a net loss for the first half of the year.

Profit losses continue for Sembcorp Marine, according to a profit guidance posted on the Singapore Exchange.

“The group expects that losses for the first half of 2021 are likely to be in the region of the full-year losses incurred for fiscal year 2020,” Sembcorp Marine said in a bourse disclosure.

It noted that its operations continue to be affected by ongoing COVID-19 disruptions, including increased manpower costs to address the skilled manpower shortage. Supply constraints have also caused further delays in the completion of its projects.

It also expects to incur additional costs due to work rescheduling, extra sub-contract work, additional material usage, and other staff turnover related costs.

Sembcorp Marine is expected to post its financial report for the first half of 2021 on 29 July 29.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
