LONDON--U.K. utility SSE PLC (SSE.LN) Wednesday posted a fall in half-year pretax profit due mainly to higher costs and said it has made a good start to the year.

For the six months to Sept. 30, the electricity and gas company posted pretax profit of 230.8 million pounds ($347.1 million) compared with GBP316.6 million a year earlier on revenue of GBP13.83 billion and GBP12.41 billion ,respectively.

Stripping out exceptional items and other one-off costs, pretax profit rose to GBP518.1 million from GBP334.6 million, SSE said.

"There should always be a degree of caution about half-year results, yet SSE has made a solid start to the 2015/16 financial year," Chairman Richard Gillingwater said.

SSE increased its interim dividend by 1.1% to 26.9 pence per share.
