Actualités

ASSAD – At the end of the first half of 2026, the company recorded a loss of 18 MD versus a profit of 0.228 MD at the end of June 2025. It ended the first half of this year with operating results sharply down, at 0.455 MD versus 3.660 MD a year earlier.

The company posted revenue of 41.1 MD against 50.7 MD in June 2025, a decrease of 19%. The revenue decline stems mainly from the fall in export revenue which the company attributes to a largely identified and transitory factor. The first half indeed experienced a temporary delay in renewing the import license of the Algerian subsidiary BAA, whose resolution is underway, combined with a difficult international environment in export markets.

SOTUVER – At the end of the first half of 2026, the interim financial statements show a profit of 7.9 MD versus 2.1 MD in June 2025.

The company suffered a 17% decrease in its operating result, to 8.8 MD, despite a 34.7% growth in revenues compared to the first half of 2025. Operating expenses rose at a faster pace, by nearly 47%.

Net financing charges fell from 9.1 to 7.3 MD over the same period. The result of ordinary activities after tax stood at 0.16 MD vs 2.2 MD.

The rise in net profit mainly stems from the recognition of insurance indemnities for material damages and business interruption losses for a total estimated amount of 11.7 MD, while the net book value of the damaged fixed assets was fully accounted for as expenses for an amount of 4 MD. The indemnities are related to the fire that damaged several production lines.
