Thai Public Beverage Co has reported a rise in profits for the third quarter of 2010, but its beer division remains in the red.

Net profits for the three months to the end of September increased by around 19% to THB2.2bn (US$74m), Thai Public Beverage Co (ThaiBev) said today (12 November). Lower interest payments inflated headline earnings, with the drinks group’s earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) up by just 2% on the same quarter of 2009.

The third quarter performance helped to reduce the effects of a tough first half of 2010, although the company’s net profits for the first nine months of the year were still down by 5%, at THB7.3bn.

Beer has been the main drag on ThaiBev’s earnings in the last 18 months. The division was THB293m in the red in the third quarter of 2010, although this compared to losses of THB639m in the same period of 2009.
