SYDNEY--Cimic Group Ltd. (CIM.AU), the Australian construction company and contract miner, said its annual profit rose 12% following a push to widen margins and some major new projects started up.
On Wednesday, Cimic reported a net profit of 580.3 million Australian dollars (US$442.9 million) for the year through December, versus A$520.4 million in 2015. The company had earlier forecast annual earnings of A$520 million-A$580 million.
Large Australian miners have cut their spending in recent years, prompting Cimic to increase its focus on winning infrastructure projects to build everything from casinos in Macau to airports in the Middle East -- a strategy that analysts say is now paying off. It has also been working to drive down costs and bolster margins.
The company declared a final dividend of 62 Australian cents a share. Cimic is majority owned by Germany's Hochtief AG (HOT.XE), which is controlled by Spain's Actividades de Construccion y Servicios S.A. (ASC.MC).
