PCCW to book loss of HK$8.263 bln on Reach JV

Reuters, 02.20.03, 6:38 PM ET

HONG KONG, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Hong Kong telecoms firm PCCW Ltd <0008.HK> said on Friday it would book a one-time loss of about HK$8.263 billion (US$1.1 billion) on its investment in an infrastructure joint venture, citing difficult and volatile trading conditions.

PCCW said in a statement it would write down the value of Reach, a telecoms infrastructure venture with Australia's Telstra Corp Ltd <TLS.AX>, and book the impairment loss in the year ended December 31, 2002.

Telstra, Australia's largest telephone company, said on Friday it slashed US$546 million off the value of Reach after pricing competition and an industry downturn hit margins.
