Tsingtao Brewery, one of the China's largest brewers, saw net profit rise last year despite a slow local economy.

The company said it developed more sources of income, cut costs and increased efficiency to achieve "sustainable and sound" revenue growth.

Net profit in 2023 increased 15.0% to 4.27 billion yuan ($591.6 million), while revenue rose 5.5% to CNY33.94 billion, the company said in a financial filing Wednesday.

The brewer said it expects to face challenges in the external market environment, but remains confident it can grab opportunities from technological revolutions and consumption upgrades.
