Imperial Tobacco swung to a profit of 974 million pounds ($1.5 billion) in six months ended March 31, against a loss of 184 million pounds, the company reported Tuesday. The company earned 68 pence a share and 67.8 pence on a diluted basis, against 14.7 pence. Revenue rose 8% to 13.37 billion pounds, against 12.42 billion pounds in the year-ago period. Cigarette volumes fell 3.7%, hit by weakness in the U.S., Spain and Russia, but the group noted improvement in the second quarter. The company noted strong sales of global cigarette brands -- Davidoff, Gauloises Blondes and West -- with particularly good results in Africa, the Middle East and Central Europe. The group expects cigarette volumes to be stable against the second half of 2009, with a slight fall overall for the current financial year. The group declared an interim dividend of 24.3 pence per share, against 21 pence in 2009.
