Phonebook firm calls up €10m pre-tax loss

AN €8.5 million writedown in Truvo Ireland’s Eircom phonebook business contributed to the company recording a pre-tax loss of €10m last year.

Truvo Ireland produces the Golden Pages and accounts just filed with the Companies Office show revenues at the firm dropped by 34% from €54.8m to €35.7m in the 12 months to the end of December last.

The company’s revenues have more than halved in the space of three years with the company recording revenues of €73.6m in 2008.
