Feb 11(Reuters) - Australia's Suncorp Group Ltd SUN.AX on Tuesday said its first-half net profit more than doubled, helped by the sale of its units and a strong reinsurance programme.
The company's net profit rose to A$642 million ($428.92 million) in the six months ended Dec. 31, from A$250 million a year earlier.
The company declared an interim dividend of 26 cents per share.
