Information
Operating profit (beia) was EUR 3,540 million, up 9.9% organically, with a EUR 216 million negative foreign currency impact and a EUR 40 million
increase from consolidation changes. Higher revenue and the benefit of realised cost savings were only partially offset by higher marketing and
selling expenses.
Share of net profit of associates and joint ventures (beia) decreased from EUR 177 million to EUR 161 million. The EUR 14 million decline mainly
reflected lower net profit from the joint venture operation in the Republic of the Congo due to difficult market conditions.
Net interest expenses (beia) slightly increased by EUR 3 million to EUR 355 million, reflecting a higher average net debt position. The average interest
rate in 2016 was 3.1% compared with 3.3% in 2015. Other net finance expenses (beia) increased by EUR 38 million to EUR 114 million, primarily due
to adverse foreign currency transactional movements.
The effective tax rate (beia) was 28.3%, a slight increase on the rate in 2015 (27.8%).
Net profit decreased by EUR 352 million to EUR 1,540 million. Net profit (beia) grew by EUR 50 million to EUR 2,098 million, an organic increase of
8.5%. Unfavourable currency impact was 6%, with consolidation impact minimal.
Earnings per share - diluted decreased to EUR 2.70 (2015: EUR 3.30). Earnings per share - diluted (beia) increased by 3.1% from EUR 3.57 to
EUR 3.68.
