UK's Petrofac plummets as half-yearly losses surge
Adds details in paragraphs 2-6
Sept 30 (Reuters) -Shares of British oilfield services provider Petrofac PFC.L dropped 33% on Monday after the company reported bigger half-yearly losses amid difficulties in closing legacy contracts in its biggest unit.
After a boom in orders due to high oil prices in 2022, the firm has been struggling with a string of profit warnings related to legacy contracts and payment delays at its largest division, Engineering & Construction (E&C), in recent months.
While the Jersey-based company anticipates increased operating activity in E&C compared to last year, it is still expected to remain below scale.
Shares of the FTSE small-cap firm were at a near 4-month low and have fallen about 66% this year.
Last week, Petrofac reached an in-principle agreement with some key stakeholders to restructure its finances for a much-needed equity raise.
The company reported its net loss widened to $208 million in the six months ended June 30 from $141 million in the same period last year.
