Cost of Sales amounted to $509.45 million (2025: $1.01 billion), a decrease of 50% year over year, while cost of sales for the quarter fell 49% to $235.55 million (2025: $463.30 million).

For the quarter, administrative expenses rose 10% to $373.29 million (2025: $340.44 million). The Expected Credit Loss Adjustment reflected a gain of $32.56 million (2025: gain of $8.90 million), while the Share of Results of Investment in Associate was a loss of $7.67 million (2025: loss of $2.11 million).

Total Liabilities amounted to $7.09 billion (2025: $4.91 billion), up 44%.
