For the financial year ended January 31, 2022, Sapura Energy Bhd’s net loss widened to RM8.9 billion from RM160.87 million a year ago.

In a recent filing, it said revenue declined to RM4.13 billion from RM5.35 billion previously due to the lower percentage of completion recognised in the current year, resulting from recognition of foreseeable losses and higher project costs in the engineering and construction (E&C) business segment.

It said the E&C and operation and maintenance (O&M) businesses continued to face execution challenges mainly due to disruption from Covid-19 and lack of access to adequate working capital facilities despite the market recovery in the latter part of the year which has brought improved performance from its drilling segment,

"Our situation was further compounded by some operational underperformance in certain projects,” it said. — Bernama
