Business revenue in the first nine months increased 22.06 percent to 8.03 billion yuan, the southwestern Sichuan-based liquor maker said in a statement to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

The company attributed the net profit and revenue rise to its improved products mix, stepped-up marketing efforts and reduced production costs.

The equities of the Shenzhen-listed firm ended at 21.41 yuan per share on Friday, up 0.99 percent from the previous close.
