Al-Babtain Power & Telecommunication Co.’s net profit for the first quarter declined 2 percent year-on-year (YoY) due to higher costs along with a 14.4 percent YoY drop in sales amid weak demand, chairman Ibrahim Al Babtain, told Argaam on Sunday.

 

Meanwhile, he described the 2 percent YoY decline as “not significant”.
