The company cited an overall rise in direct operating costs including labor, spare parts and subcontractors. In addition, it reported increases in salaries and wages of medical employees, along with additional costs incurred on discounts related to previous billings. 

  

The profit drop came despite a 5% year-on-year (YoY) growth in revenue during H1 2023, as the corresponding period in 2022 recognized revenues for completed projects, leading to higher profit.
