Energy supplier SSE posts 3.6 percent fall in full-year EPS

(Reuters) - Britain's SSE Plc <SSE.L> said full-year earnings per share fell 3.6 percent, hurt by weakness in its networks business, but EPS so far this year was ahead of its expectations.

The country's second-biggest energy supplier said adjusted earnings per share fell to 121.1 pence in the year ended March 31, from 125.7 pence a year ago.

The merger of SSE's UK retail energy supply businesses with Innogy <IGY.DE> -owned Npower is currently under investigation by British regulators.
