British American Tobacco PLC reported Thursday stronger profit for 2016, helped by higher revenue and favorable currency moves.

BAT reported annual profit of 4.65 billion pounds ($5.8 billion), compared with GBP4.29 billion pounds in 2015, on revenue that was 13% higher at GBP14 billion.

The maker of Lucky Strike and Dunhill cigarettes said the volume of cigarettes sold declined 0.8% on an organic basis compared with a decline of 0.5% a year earlier and against an estimated industry decline of 3%.

BAT last month agreed to take full control of Reynolds American Inc. in a $49.4 billion deal. Buying Reynolds will give the London-based tobacco giant direct access to the U.S., 13 years after it merged its U.S. business Brown & Williamson with R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings Inc. to form Reynolds American. BAT has maintained a 42% stake in Reynolds ever since, with a 10-year standstill agreement preventing it from increasing this.
