HIGHER finance costs and the absence of a one-off gain put a dent in Fraser & Neave's (F&N) earnings for the 2018 fiscal year.
Net profit for the year ended Sept 30 plunged 90.5 per cent to S$122.2 million, in the absence of a $1.2 billion fair value gain recognised last year when F&N started to equity account its share of Vinamilk's profit in April 2017. F&N owns a 20 per cent stake in Vinamilk.
