AngloGold Ashanti swings to 2016 profit quoting : "Reuters"

The decline in pretax profit was attributed to increased administrative expenses and lower profit contribution from joint venture companies. Under the business improvement plan, Bovis Homes intends to review its production processes, phasing of completions and customer services. For the year ended Dec. 31, 2016, the British house building company recorded pretax profit of 154.7 million pounds ($191.96 million), compared with GBP160.1 million pretax profit in the year ago period, on a revenue of GBP1.05 billion and GBP946.5 million, respectively. LONDON--Bovis Homes Group PLC (BVS.LN) Monday reported a 3% fall in 2016 pretax profit, and said that it will undertake a business improvement program in 2017, which may included sale of certain assets. The company anticipates the business improvement program to impact its earnings and completion volumes for 2017.
