Hong Kong-listed Tingyi, owner of the Master Kong brand and a partner with PepsiCo Inc (PEP.N) in China, said profit for the six months ended June totaled $231.9 million, up from $196.7 million a year earlier.

Tingyi, which commands close to 40 percent of China's noodle market according to Euromonitor, said total turnover was $5.5 billion for the six-month period, up slightly from $5.42 billion a year ago. The firm competes with Uni-President China Holdings Ltd (0220.HK) and Want Want China Holdings Ltd (0151.HK).

Shares of Tingyi were down 0.9 percent just after midday (0400 GMT) on Monday, but have risen 1.8 percent so far this year. The benchmark Hang Seng Index .HSI has gained more than 6 percent over the same period.
