| August 6, 2009 | 0 Comments

Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (MMC) has reported its financial results for the second quarter of the year.

Underlying revenue rose slightly, up 2%.

However, the firm incurred a net loss of $193m, equivalent to $0.37 per share, largely due to an impairment charge of $315m.

This compares poorly with the firm’s $65m ($0.12 per share) net income in Q2 2008.

In the first quarter of the year MMC made a net profit of $176m, or $0.33 per share.

For the first six months of the year the firm made a net loss of $17m, equating to $0.03 per share, a substantial improvement on the first half of last year where losses of $145m were incurred.

President and CEO Brian Duperreault has stated that the firm performed well during the quarter despite the continuing challenges of the operating environment.
