Canned tuna producer Century Pacific Food Inc. said Monday consolidated net income rose two percent in the first nine months of the year to P2.2 billion as the double-digit growth in revenues was offset by higher input costs.
Century Pacific said in a disclosure to the stock exchange consolidated net revenue in the first three quarters of 2017 jumped 21 percent to P25.27 billion, mainly because of the sustained double-digit growth of the branded businesses.
