Fraser & Neave profits doubled to $165.7m in 2016

This is despite 7% drop in revenues.

Fraser & Neave recorded a two-fold rise in profit after taxation (PAT) for the twelve months ended 30 September 2016.

Boosted mainly by lower input costs, higher interest income and the absence of exceptional charges, FY2016 PAT rose to $165.7m, from $82.4m in FY2015.

The 101-per-cent increase in PAT was achieved despite a fall of 7 per cent in FY2016 revenue to $1,978.6m, which was largely due to adverse translation effects on soft drinks and dairies sales in Malaysia.

Despite the decline in revenue, Group FY2016 profit before interest and taxation (PBIT) soared 36 per cent to $179.2m. The strong performance was supported by Dairies, whose profit increased 72 per cent to $118.7min FY2016, powered mainly by lower input costs and improved operational efficiencies.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
