Consolidated net loss before minority interest stood at EGP 424,983,505 in the January-September period of 2020, compared to EGP 313,726,916 incurred in the prior-year period.

In 2019, the company suffered a net loss of EGP 442.25 million, a decrease from the EGP 306 million posted a year earlier.  

The company attributed the 2019 loss to accumulated effects of Egyptian pound devaluation on imported fuel, in addition to higher prices of electricity and oil.

The Egypt-based company also produces clinker, cement, and other related products, in addition to cement packing bags.
