MHP still booked foreign-exchange losses of $145m for 2016 but a 5% rise in gross profit and 7% increase in revenue helped its bottom line grow.
The group’s revenue reached $1.14bn after a 24% jump in fourth-quarter revenue gave a boost to its top line following flat nine-month sales. Exports accounted for 56% of MHP’s annual revenue, up from 49% in 2015.
MHP reported a 9% fall in its operating profit in 2016 to $314.8m amid a year-on-year decline in “VAT refunds and other government grants income”.
