LONDON (Alliance News) - CPL Resources PLC Thursday said it increased its pretax profit 17% in its first-half following strong revenue figures during the period.
The Irish employment services group said its pretax profit increased to EUR7.0 million for the six months ended December 31, from EUR6.0 million the previous year.
The company said revenues increased 14% during the period to EUR184.3 million from EUR161.7 million the previous year, in part due to revenue generated from temporary assignment placings which was EUR174.2 million, a 13% increase.
CPL Resources said it continues its policy of controlling costs tightly and improving productivity across the group in order to maximise profit.
The company also increased its dividend per share by 19% to 4.74 cents from 4.0 cents after the first-half 2012.
CPL Resources shares were untraded Thursday at 627.13 pence.
