Heineken NV (HEIA.AE) said Monday that net profit and revenue
increased in 2017, and warned that it expects economic conditions
to remain volatile in the current year.
The world's second-largest brewer by sales said that it made a
net profit of 1.94 billion euros ($2.38 billion) in 2017 compared
with EUR1.54 billion a year earlier.
Operating profit before exceptional items and amortization--the
company's preferred metric--was EUR3.76 billion compared with
EUR3.54 billion in 2016, it said. Its operating margin improved to
17.2% from 17%, it said.
The company said revenue increased to EUR21.89 billion from
EUR20.79 billion.
Group consolidated beer volume rose 3% with growth in all
regions, Heineken said.
The Amsterdam-listed company raised its final dividend to
EUR0.93 a share from EUR0.82 in 2016, bringing the total dividend
for 2017 to EUR1.47, up from EUR1.34.
Heineken said it expects a negative impact from foreign currency
translation in 2018 compared with 2017 and that the operating
profit margin will grow around 25 basis points. The company also
estimates an effective group tax rate of around 28% compared with
27.6% last year.
