Australia's Treasury Wine Estates' profit jumps 55 percent, misses estimates

(Reuters) - Australian winemaker Treasury Wine Estates <TWE.AX> said on Thursday its annual net profit rose 55 percent but it missed analyst estimates as higher costs and unfavourable foreign exchange rates took a toll.

Net profit for the year to June 30 rose to A$269.1 million ($213.26 million) from A$173.3 million a year ago, the company said, compared with analyst estimates of A$288.1 million according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

The world's biggest listed stand-alone winemaker also announced an on-market share buyback of A$300 million.
