TOKYO -- Toshiba's operating profit for the half year through September increased about sevenfold from the year-earlier period to 52 billion yen ($476.4 million), the company said on Wednesday. It is Toshiba's highest operating profit for the six months in three years.

The company's infrastructure, energy and digital businesses moved into the black, helped by cost-cutting measures.
