The profit growth was triggered by higher gross profit due to increased turnover as well as improved profit margin. The company also cited expected credit losses provision that was decreased, in accordance with IFRS 9, in addition to higher other revenues because of obtaining financial support from “ESTERDAD” initiative issued by the Small and Medium Enterprises General Authority (Monsha'at).
FIPCO also noted impairment of capital assets for low economic viability that took place in the first quarter of 2021.
This was despite higher selling and marketing expenses, as well as increased banking charges.
