Engine Horse Power

When you buy a new piston engine it is rated at x horse power.

Lets say after several years use the compressions decrease to low 70's.

Is the horse power that the engine produces still the same or is it less... I assume that it has to be less. If I am correct how much less would it be 10-15%..

Thanks
