Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC) swung to a loss of more than $1
billion in the latest quarter as the oil and gas company paid out a
fee in connection with turning down a proposed merger with Chevron
Corp.
The Houston-based company on Friday posted a second-quarter net
loss of $1.03 billion, or $2.09 a share, compared with a profit of
$29 million, or 5 cents a share, a year earlier.
Excluding deal-termination costs and other items, Anadarko said
it posted a profit of 51 cents a share, higher than the 49 cents a
share analysts polled by FactSet were expecting.
Revenue rose 4.6% to $3.44 billion, above the consensus forecast
of $3.16 billion.
Occidental Petroleum Corp. struck a $38 billion deal to buy
Anadarko in May, topping Chevron's offer in a bidding war. In
winning the contest for Anadarko, Occidental landed assets in the
heart of the Permian Basin in West Texas and New Mexico, the
country's most active drilling region.
