FRANKFURT (Reuters) - German utility RWE (DE:RWEG) said it would pay no 2015 dividend on common stock as a 2.1 billion euro ($2.34 billion) impairment on its German and British power stations and an additional writedown led to a full-year net loss.
The net loss for the year came to about 200 million euros, RWE said on Wednesday.
Analysts had expected a 2015 net profit of 1.16 billion euros and a dividend of 0.61 euros, according to Thomson Reuters data.
For preferred shares, RWE said it would pay a dividend of 0.13 euros per share.
