Total revenues of 31 listed companies, excluding commercial banks and Linas Agro Group, which runs its business year from July to June, rose by 40 percent versus 2010, to 12.9 billion litas (EUR 3.7 b).

The earnings were reported by 21 companies (down from 22 in 2010), which generated the total net profit of 1.19 billion litas, up 59 percent from 2010. The remaining ten companies (up from 7 in 2010) suffered a combined net loss of 169.1 million litas, up 3 percent versus 2010.
