But Raba suffered a net financial loss of HUF1.57bn, mostly from hedging deals after a HUF5.62bn profit on similar deals a year earlier.
Raba did not provide separate third quarter data but Reuters calculations show that its net loss was HUF583 million after a profit of HUF198 million a year earlier.
Although nine-month revenues showed rapid growth, third quarter sales totalled just 10.35bn forints, 1% less than a year earlier and 16% less than in the third quarter, the news agency said.
