Net profit reached 445 billion won, up from a profit of 429 billion won in 2015. Sales, however, dropped 18.4 percent on-year to reach 4.19 trillion won.
S-Oil said higher cracking margins helped boost its bottom line, along with an improvement in other businesses such as its lubricants unit. It expects rising demand from Asia to continue help boost revenues this year. The company has decided on an interim dividend of 500 won per share.
S-Oil share prices closed at 77,300 won on July 25, down 1.28 percent from the previous session‘s close.
