The company's gross profit dropped 21% year-on-year (YoY) due to increased costs of raw materials and global inflation, which had an impact on most companies. Halwani also reported higher selling and distribution expenses in the current period, as it focused on expanding sales geographically through optimizing channels and restructuring sales force.
The consolidated profits were hit by the depreciation of the currency exchange rate in the Egypt-based subsidiary.
Higher general and administrative expenses, as well as financing cost also weighed on the nine-month results.
