DUTCH brewer Heineken NV said yesterday its first-half net profit rose 42 percent on a mix of factors including cost cutting, positive currency effects and one-time gains.
Net profit was 695 million euros (US$881 million), up from 489 million euros a year earlier. This year's figures include a net 121 million euros in exceptional gains, due to the sale of Heineken's 68.5 percent stake in an Indonesian subsidiary to Singapore-based Asia Pacific Breweries for 157 million euros.
Heineken's revenue rose 5.2 percent to 7.52 billion euros, mostly due to its US$7.8 billion acquisition in April of Mexico's Femsa.
"Trading conditions remained challenging in Europe and the USA, but we realized strong ... growth in Africa and Asia," the firm said.
