Auckland lines company Vector has posted a net profit of $102.1 million for the six months to December, up 27 per cent from $80.5m in the previous corresponding period.
Vector, 75.1 per cent owned by central Auckland community trust Entrust, declared an unchanged interim dividend of 8.25c a share, 10.5 per cent imputed.
The company lifted its full-year adjusted ebitda guidance from $380m to $500m to $500m to $520m, provisional on no further Covid-19 disruption. Despite the uncertainties that have arisen due to Covid-19, the group has delivered a pleasing start to the 2021 financial year, chairman Jonathan Mason said.

Sky Tower jump ‘no biggie’ for 90-year-old
Vince Harris celebrated his 90th birthday by leaping off the Sky Tower.
Vince Harris’s relatively quiet life in the Peninsula Club in Whangaparāoa is fitting for a 90-year-old, but every now and then he likes to get the adrenalin pumping.
His most recent daredevil activity was the 192m SkyJump off Auckland’s Sky Tower, which he completed on his 90th birthday last week.
Although he bungee jumped off the Harbour Bridge a couple of years ago, he is especially pleased about his latest jump because he did it as a fundraiser for Starship Hospital.
