This profit fall was attributed to lower sales value and volume both locally and from Jordan’s operations. The cement producer also cited lower dividends from investment in equity instruments at fair value, despite higher average selling price, an increase in the company’s profit share from associates, the decrease in selling and marketing expenses, the decrease in finance costs, and growth in other income.
