NZX-listed fishing company Sanford reported an improved set of financials.
Net profit after tax for the company increased $44 million to $63.7m, while revenue was up 0.2% to $584.1m from $582.9m year on year.
Meanwhile, earnings before interest and tax (ebit) totalled $102.1m, up from $54.3m.
A final dividend of 5 cents per share was approved.
Sanford managing director David Mair said the company's aquaculture business (salmon and mussels) had exceeded expectations, but the wildcatch business had fallen short.
Revenue for the division was flat year on year, but ebit reduced about 6% to 52.4m.
Wildcatch performance will be a focus for the new financial year.
