TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Uni-President Enterprises Corporation recorded an 8.7% profit increase last year marking its second-highest annual earnings.

Uni-President released an earnings report on Thursday that showed revenue for last year was NT$337.932 billion (US$10.3 billion) and said investors would receive a NT$9 per share dividend, per CNA.
