One-off gains lift Dutch vitamins firm DSM in Q2


AMSTERDAM: Royal DSM NV, the Dutch chemicals and materials company that is the largest maker of nutritional supplements such as vitamins, has reported a sharp rise in second quarter earnings, mostly due to the sale of assets.

Net profit was 390 million ($557 million), up from 147 million in the same period a year ago. The company booked 226 million in one-time gains from the sale of shares in Danisco and the disposal of its elastomers arm.
