Citic Telecom International's first-half profit rose despite weaker revenue, helped by lower finance costs.

Net profit for the first six months of the year increased 1.3% to 461 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to US$58.9 million, the Hong Kong-listed telecommunications company said Friday.

Revenue fell 1.7% from a year earlier to HK$4.81 billion. Lower sales from the enterprise solutions and fixed-line services segments offset the better performance in the mobile services, internet services and international telecommunication services divisions, the company said.

Finance costs declined 26% to HK$93 million for the period. The company said it refinanced US$450 million of bonds with several banks and repaid HK$394 million using its surplus fund.

Citic Telecom declared an interim dividend of 6 Hong Kong cents, unchanged from a year ago.

The company said it plans to enhance its application of digital tools such as big data and artificial intelligence to improve efficiency. It also aims to deepen collaboration in specialized areas to drive new businesses and market expansion.
