Esso reports pre-tax losses of €7.7m

THE Irish arm of international energy giant Exxon Mobil last year sustained a pre-tax loss of €7.7 million in spite of revenues climbing to €654m.

Accounts just filed with the Companies Registration Office by Esso Ireland Ltd show that a €1.3m write-down in the value of a retail site contributed to the loss.

The figures show that revenues at Esso Ireland increased by 10% from €595.3m to €654.5m.
