摘要

Queensland, Australia-based coal miner and coal-to-liquids (CTL) project developer New Hope Corp. announced September 18 that its fiscal-year (FY) 2012 net profit after tax before non-recurring items rose 16% year-on-year, to A$171.1 million (US$178.6 million). The profit improvement was "driven by record production figures, increased sales and the company's ongoing focus on operational efficiency," according to New Hope.
