British Gas owner Centrica PLC (CNA.LN) said Tuesday that Chief Executive Iain Conn plans to step down next year, as it announced plans to slash its 2019 dividend by 58% and exit oil and gas production.
The FTSE 100-listed utilities company said these actions will complete its transformation into a cost-competitive, customer-facing business. Mr. Conn will remain with the company at least until next year's annual general meeting, Centrica said.
Centrica reported a swing to a pretax loss of 569 million pounds ($704.3 million) for the first half compared with a profit of GBP415 million in the year-earlier period. The company attributed the loss to lower adjusted earnings and remeasurements due to falling gas prices. Centrica posted a net loss of GBP550 million compared with a profit of GBP238 million a year before.
Adjusted earnings attributable to shareholders fell by 63% to GBP134 million, the company said.
Revenue fell to GBP11.57 billion in the first half from GBP12.10 billion a year before, the company said.
Centrica declared an interim dividend of 1.50 pence a share, down from 3.60 pence a share in the first half of 2018. For the full year, the company intends to pay a full-year dividend of 5.0 pence a share compared with 12.0 pence a year earlier.
Centrica backed its full-year guidance and said adjusted earnings will be weighted toward the second half of the year.
