(Cairo, Egypt) - Juhayna Food Industries (JUFO.CA on the Egyptian Exchange), a leading Egyptian dairy, yogurt and juice manufacturer, announced today its consolidated results for the second quarter of 2016, reporting a 21% year-on-year rise in total consolidated revenue to EGP 1,333 million. Net income dropped 54% to EGP 30 million compared to EGP 65 million in the same period last year, translating into a net profit margin of 2.2% in 2Q16. On a first half basis, Juhayna reported a 24% increase in total consolidated revenue to EGP 2,437 million in 1H16 with net income standing at EGP 110 million, a 15% decrease compared to 1H15, while net profit margin also slid by two percentage points to 4.5% in 1H16.

The highest contributors to the top line remained the dairy and yogurt segments, representing 42% and 30% of revenues respectively in 2Q16 and 46% and 26%, respectively, in 1H16. Revenue growth during the first half was mainly driven by an increase in the yogurt and juice segments' revenues, which climbed 24% and 50% y-o-y to EGP 640 million and EGP 519 million respectively in 1H16, together contributing over 63% of the group's y-o-y increase in total consolidated revenues during the period.

Highlights of Juhayna's financial and operational results along with management's commentary on performance in the quarter follow below. Drawn from the fact that Juhayna operates in a highly competitive environment, management believes that it is in the best interest of shareholders to suspend disclosure of detailed segment analysis information.

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

Due to Ramadan's positive effect on our sales, Juhayna saw second quarter sales rise by 21% year-on-year to reach EGP 1.3 billion. Our dairy segment alone contributed EGP 558 million and constituted the lion's share of our top-line. Additionally, the juice segment rose by 42% during the second quarter to EGP 248 million in sales revenue.

Despite having a positive surge in our top-line, a series of difficult conditions prevented the company from growing its net profit, which declined by 54% year-on-year to EGP 30 million, with net profit margin reaching 2.2% compared to 5.9% for the same period last year. The drop in net profit comes on the back of instability in the domestic market during the last period, particularly with the foreign currency crisis and the impact of the devaluation of the Egyptian Pound, in addition to the shortage of the USD and the 1% increase in interest rates. Given the sensitive nature of the food sector, which touches the lives of every Egyptian household, Juhayna has opted to temporarily absorb the effects of these adverse conditions, then make an effort at restoring profitability by gradually increasing prices over the coming period.

The company also incurred EGP 11 million in demurrage expenses during the second quarter, as foreign currency deposit caps imposed by the banks hindered our ability to clear imported materials. However, this issue has now been solved with banks lifting these caps and allowing companies to deposit currency sourced from the parallel market.

On the operational front, we are pushing forward with our development initiatives with several new filling lines already installed and others in the final stages of installation. In total, Juhayna will commission seven new filling lines for juice, dairy, and yogurt products, as well as one new production line in the concentrates factory. Additionally, our distribution network continues to expand with the opening of a new distribution center in the North Coast. We are also working diligently to reduce our operational and financial risk by shortening the repayment period of our agents. On this front, Juhayna has entered into an agreement with Fawry for e-collection to facilitate the collection process and accelerate the flow of funds to the company's bank accounts, thus supporting liquidity.

As the market leaders in the food and beverage segment, we are continuously innovating and offering our customers new products to suit all their different demographics and tastes. As we head into the second half of the year, we are optimistic and confident in our ability to continue improving our operational efficiency and meeting our customers' needs.

Juhyana will capitalize on its innovative spirit and its continued capital investments to maintain its market leadership position, all while translating its success into value for its shareholders.
