MISC Bhd’s earnings for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020 (2Q20), fell 29.09% year-on-year (YoY) to RM299.5 million as the energy logistics provider took a heavy toll from recognition of impairments due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the downturn in the oil and gas (O&G) sector.The reduction in profit was mainly due to the recognition of an impairment loss amounting to RM300 million on property, plant and equipment, and right-of-use assets at its heavy engineering segment.Revenue for the quarter was up 1.1% YoY at RM2.19 billion due to higher contributions from its petroleum segment following improved freight rates and higher-earning days in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) segment.
