ZURICH--ABB Ltd. (ABBN.VX) on Wednesday reported a 70% drop in profit during the three months to Dec. 31 as the power and automation giant was hit by a slowdown in emerging markets as falling oil prices slackened demand in many countries.

Zurich-based ABB said net profit for the quarter fell to $204 million from $680 million a year earlier. The figure missed analyst expectations of $225 million. The company, the world's biggest maker of electricity grids, said sales for the quarter fell to $9.24 billion from $10.35 billion a year earlier, missing analyst forecasts of $9.33 billion.

ABB, which also makes industrial robots and motors, has been struggling recently with slowing demand in China and other emerging markets weighing on its performance. The company has also suffered with a reduced order intake and a share price that has fallen 3.3% in the last 12 months.
