The gross margin of the company also improved to 18% from 16% in the comparative period.
On the cost front, due to higher advertising and promotions, the company’s admin and distribution expenses surged by 4 and 20% YoY respectively.
While the finance cost of the company declined 46% YoY due to lower short-term borrowings coupled with low-interest rates.
