BP Plc said profit fell 66 percent after taking a further charge of $7.7 billion related to the biggest oil spill in U.S. history.
Third-quarter net income dropped to $1.8 billion, or 9.4 cents a share, from $5.3 billion, or 28.2 cents, in the year-earlier period, London-based BP said today in a statement. Excluding one-time items and inventory changes, profit beat analyst estimates.
