The Shenzhen-based company has been at the centre of an intense standoff between China and the United States - Washington has warned that its equipment could be used for espionage by the Chinese government, an allegation Huawei denies.
Sanctions since 2019 have cut the firm's access to U.S.-made components and technologies, forcing it to diversify its growth strategy.
Huawei said it generated a profit of 87 billion yuan ($12 billion) last year, more than double 2022's 35.6 billion yuan but short of its record 113.7 billion yuan profit in 2021.
Revenues also surged by 9.6% to 704.2 billion yuan.
