Shares in Origin Energy closed 8.7 per cent higher at $A4.23 on 18 February 2016, despite posting a 2015-16 interim loss of $A254m. The result was marred by a sharp decline in the crude oil price, which has impacted on Origin’s LNG project in Queensland. Origin’s underlying profit for the half-year fell from $A346m to $A254m. Shareholders will receive an interim dividend of $A0.10 per share, compared with $A0.25 previously.
