The company attributed the profit fall for the period to higher raw material costs year-on-year (YoY), particularly paper, in both local and international markets, which led to a rise in the cost of revenue.

 

This came despite a 2.1% YoY increase in revenue, mainly driven by higher sales volumes in the corrugated and folded carton (duplex) segments.

 

Also, the company reported financing income from short-term deposits compared with a year earlier.
