On the other hand, rise in distribution expenses, administrative expenses and finance cost by 12.5%, 56% and 75.5% respectively, put a dent on the profitability of the company.

Furthermore, the company enjoyed 80% of reduction in tax payments YoY, but the impact failed to elevate the company's net profits.
