Atlas Energy Inc. reported a wider loss in the fourth quarter amid lower commodity prices for oil and natural gas. It had a net loss of $85.3 million, or $1.09 per share, compared with a loss of $28.9, or 74 cents, a year earlier.

Atlas said well-drilling fees helped it realize adjusted earnings of $15.8 million, or 20 cents a share, in the quarter ended Dec. 31, up from $6.4 million, or 16 cents a share, a year earlier. That beat analysts' expectations of 18 cents a share in adjusted income, according to a survey from Thomson Reuters.

Atlas, which drills for oil and natural gas primarily in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Tennessee, lost $72.0 million for the year in 2009, compared with a net loss of $6.2 million the year before. [Read the full article]
