Amer Group Holding’s consolidated net profit declined 50% in 2017, as the company revenues decelerate, the company said in a press release on Sunday.

Net profits stood at EGP 92.9m last year, versus EGP 184.4m profits in 2016.

Revenues narrowed to EGP 2.15bn in 2017 from EGP 2.4bn a year earlier.

Meanwhile, standalone profits jumped to EGP 163m in 2017, versus losses of EGP 11.72m the year before.

In the first nine months of 2017, the company reported a 73.2% year-over-year drop in consolidated profits for the third quarter (Q3) of 2017 due to a decline in revenues.
