Americana Posted 31 Percent Rise In Q2 Net Profit
Kuwait Food Co (Americana) posted a 31 percent rise in second-quarter net profit on Monday.
The operator of restaurant franchises in the Middle East, including KFC, made a net profit of 9.03 million dinars ($29.91 million) in the three-month period ending June 30, up from 6.88 million dinars in the prior-year period, it said in a bourse statement.
The company did not provide any reason for the increase in profit. It said that operating profit declined due to the seasonality of Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting.
Americana's major shareholder, Kuwait's billionaire al-Kharafi family, on June 18 signed an agreement to sell their 69 percent holding to Adeptio Group, an investment group led by prominent Dubai businessman Mohamed Alabbar.
Under a legally binding agreement with Al Khair National for Stocks and Real Estate, controlled by the Kharafis, all of Al Khair's Americana shares will be bought at 2.650 dinars each, Adeptio said at the time.
Adeptio was in advanced talks with banks to secure a $1.65 billion bridge loan to fund its purchase, banking sources told Reuters on June 22.
