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.

Minimal retail price of one liter of alcohol drink is increased up to 357 tenge (about $3) (while previously it was 257 tenge).
