PETALING JAYA: S P Setia Bhd posted a net profit of RM67.50mil in the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared with RM75.23mil in the same period a year ago.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, the company said revenue declined to RM867.10mil from RM1.05bil previously, mainly due to lower revenue contribution from both Malaysia and Singapore.

The remaining RM54mil or 8%, it said, was contributed by international projects.
