ThaiBev's full-year profit up 38.5% to $1.44b

But sales revenue slightly fell to $7.9b due to weaker beer business.

According to its annual report, this was due to an increase in net profit of spirits business of 2.1%, food business of 18.2%, and Fraser & Neave (F&N) and Frasers Centrepoint Limited (FCL) of 265.2%, and a decrease in net loss of non-alcoholic business of 45.5%, albeit there was a decrease in net profit of beer business of 4.1%.
