AMSTERDAM (AP) — Royal KPN NV, the Dutch telecommunications company, said Tuesday it is slashing its dividend after reporting a sharp fall in second quarter earnings due to restructuring costs and declining sales.

Net profit was €315 million ($382 million), down 24 percent from €414 million in the same period a year ago. Sales fell 3 percent to €3.19 billion.
