The annual net profit was weighed down by lower revenue on economic changes, inflation rates, as well as higher raw material and operating costs, which directly affected product prices and the purchasing power of some clients.
Additionally, as clients have become more price-sensitive, they preferred promotions and discounts.
The net profit decline was also attributed to fierce competition, as the coffee sector expanded with the entry of new brands and the development of specialty coffee concepts.
