BP loses £113m, but 未来 is rosier

?

Newly-合併するd BP Amoco axed 6,000 職業s in its first three months, but cushioned the blow by 支払う/賃金ing the 犠牲者s an 普通の/平均(する) $125,000 (£77,000), two years' money. Redundancies, mostly in the US, 押し進めるd 令状-offs to $1bn in the 4半期/4分の1 to 損なう ch.

合併 cost 貯金 are coming through and more will follow in July, says 長,指導者 (n)役員/(a)執行力のある Sir John Browne. That is handy after a 堅い 4半期/4分の1 when 利益(をあげる)s (交替/補充 cost, as oilmen 手段 them) fell 41pc to $761m (£470m). After 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金s, BP Amoco lost £113m. But the year's 見通し is much better. The (株主への)配当 is 10 cents (6.138p).

BP's Solartex パネル盤s helped balloonist Bertrand Piccard to 飛行機で行く around the world. Its own 全世界の 計画(する)s are not far behind. Browne hopes to 完全にする the next 取得/買収, Arco, in September. That brings BP 8pc of Russia's Lukoil. But, having written off $200m in Russia already, it will be slow to spend more.

The 株 fell 1/2p to 1139p, valuing BP Amoco at a modest £110bn. Peter Hitchens at Williams de Broe says: 'Good long 称する,呼ぶ/期間/用語, but high enough for now.'
