The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The Company attributed the decline in gross profit to higher procurement costs resulting from the situation in the Middle East and other factors, the increase in freight costs to higher shipment volumes, the increase in commissions and fees due to the head office relocation, subsidiary merger and recruitment, and the increase in depreciation expenses due to PC replacements. It said personnel expenses decreased mainly because of a decline in the amount recognized for the provision for bonuses.
