SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Independent refiner and fuel retailer
Sunoco Inc. reported late Thursday a preliminary fourth-quarter pretax loss of $660 million, reversing a year-ago profit of $119 million. The company said it expects to report after-tax results next week after finalizing its income tax amounts for the quarter. The latest results include a pretax loss of $117 million from the company's refining and supply operations, which were hit by shrinking margins and lower production. They also include $612 million in one-time charges related to its Philadelphia and Marcus Hook, Pa., refineries. Sunoco is still trying to sell the Marcus Hook facilty. Sunoco also announced Chief Executive and President Lynn Elsenhans will step down on March 1, to be replaced by Chief Financial Officer Brian MacDonald. Elsenhans will remain chairman of Sunoco's board. Market Pulse Stories are Rapid-fire, short news bursts on stocks and markets as they move. Visit MarketWatch.com for more information on this news.
