2007
 
The year saw Sembcorp achieving record turnover and operating profits before exceptional items (EI). Group turnover increased by 6% to S$8.6 billion. Group profit after tax and minority interest (PATMI) before EI in 2007 was S$557.2 million compared to S$380.8 million in 2006, representing a growth of 46%. Turnover from continuing operations increased by 15% to S$8.6 billion. PATMI before EI from continuing operations rose by 49% to S$557.2 million. Strong business fundamentals continue to drive Sembcorp's growth, backed by positive operating performance from Utilities' Singapore and UK operations and Marine & Offshore Engineering's rig building and ship repair businesses.

The Group recorded a net exceptional loss of S$31.0 million during the year, due to the Group's share of losses recognised by the Marine & Offshore Engineering business relating to unauthorised foreign exchange transactions, which were partially offset by gains on the sale of certain investments.
 
2006
 
The Group achieved a robust performance, posting a record PATMI after EI of S$1.0 billion, a growth of 240% over 2005. Turnover from continuing operations increased by 30% to a record S$7.5 billion. PATMI before EI from continuing operations rose by 52% to S$373.1 million, driven mainly by strong performance from Utilities' UK operations and higher operating margins from Marine & Offshore Engineering's rig building and ship repair businesses.

The Group recorded exceptional gains of S$650.2 million. These comprised the net gain on the sale of subsidiaries and other financial assets, tax benefits relating to compensation and related costs incurred in the Solitaire arbitration and write-back of impairment for property, plant and equipment. These were partially offset by an additional charge arising from the final settlement of the Solitaire arbitration as well as a loss from the sale of a subsidiary.
 
2005
 
Sembcorp's turnover increased by 25% from S$5.9 billion in 2004 to S$7.4 billion in 2005. The Group's PATMI before EI was S$278.5 million compared to S$227.7 million in 2004, representing a 22% growth driven mainly by Utilities' UK operations and growth across all of Marine & Offshore Engineering's business units, in particular offshore conversion and rig building. PATMI excluding the profit contribution from Kuehne & Nagel (KNI) and EI was 45% higher as compared to 2004.
 
2004
 
Sembcorp delivered robust results for the year, with strong operating performances by most operating units and higher divestment gains. Turnover for the Group grew 28% to S$5.9 billion, net profit attributed to shareholders grew by 37% to S$391.5 million, while PATMI before EI went up by 24% to S$227.7 million. The Utilities, Marine & Offshore Engineering and Logistics businesses were the three main contributors to the Group's PATMI and profit growth over 2003.

During the year, the Group recorded a net exceptional gain of S$163.8 million arising from the gains on disposal of investments, reduced by write-offs for work in progress and provisions for legal claims and costs.
 
2003
 
The year saw good growth for Sembcorp. Turnover grew by 11% to S$4.6 billion, mainly due to the Utilities business' strong operating performance, as well as contributions from new acquisitions by the Utilities, Marine & Offshore Engineering and Environmental Management businesses.

Group PATMI after EI rose to S$285.1 million, 66% higher than the previous year, despite a difficult operating environment and a volatile market. Growth was driven by the strong performance of existing businesses, contributions from new subsidiaries acquired during the year and divestment gains of S$101.5 million.
