Almarai reports 2.38% rise in second-quarter profit
Saudi Arabia’s Almarai
Dubai - Muslimchronicle
Saudi Arabia’s Almarai said its second-quarter net profit rose 2.38 percent to 674.1 million riyals, from a revised quarterly profit of 658.4 million riyals a year ago.
Revenue dropped 4.2 percent to 3.76 billion riyals from the same period a year earlier, the Gulf’s largest dairy company said, as last year’s difficult market conditions continued in the second quarter.
Almarai said that it remained cautious for the rest of the year.
“Lower cost of sales, despite higher alfalfa costs, due to better cost management, lower commodity costs and enhanced production efficiencies,” contributed to the improvement in profit levels, Almarai said in a statement in the Saudi bourse.
Currency devaluation in Egypt, lower exports, and weaker consumer sentiment impacted the company’s quarterly performance, particularly in the dairy and juice segment, it added.
In June, the Saudi market regulator approved the dairy company’s request to increase capital to 10 billion riyals from 8 billion through the issuance of bonus share

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
