Middle East Paper Co. (MEPCO), a manufacturer of cardboard and industrial paper, reported a net profit of SAR 13 million for the first quarter of 2016, a 44 percent year-on-year (YoY) decline that the company attributed to lower sales value, higher cost of sales and increased expenses. 

 

Profit for Q1 improved more than 370 percent compared to the previous quarter as sales volumes rose and depreciation expenses fell following machine upgrades.
