Cairo - Mubasher: Arafa for Investment and Consultancies reported a 6,775% year-on-year (YoY) surge in its consolidated net losses to $9.9 million in the February-April period, compared to $144,009.

The revenues declined to $28.77 million during the first quarter (Q1) of the company's fiscal year (FY) 2021/2022, compared to $40.27 million in the year-ago period, according to a bourse disclosure on Thursday.

The decline in the company's consolidated sales was ascribed to the repercussions of the coronavirus pandemic. The Swiss Ready-Made Clothes Co and Egypt Tailoring reported the largest drops in sales, followed by the retail sector of the UK's Bird Group.
