The company attributed the decline in earnings to a drop in sales by 4.63% year-on-year (YoY), a fall in gross profit margin due to the increase in promotions and the change in consumer behavior by focusing on discounted products.

 

Higher selling and distribution expenses due to opening new stores, and general and administrative (G&A) expenses due to recording advisory fees for the acquisition transaction related to the Fourth Milling Company also contributed to the profit decline.

 

On the other hand, real estate activity started to recover after witnessing a decline in the previous year.

 

The performance of the subsidiaries and associates improved as they were affected by the preventive measures in the previous year.
