The bulk of the revenues during the quarter came from the company\u2019s Auto & Auto Related (A&AR) segment, which took EGP 9.64 bn over the quarter \u2014 a 4.3% y-o-y rise from 2Q2018. The company recorded net profits of EGP 7.1 mn during 1H2019 on revenues of EGP 11.54 bn.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u201cRegulatory challenges,\u201d low customs for EU, Moroccan, Turkish cars driving losses:<\/b>The company attributed its loss during the quarter to \u201cregulatory challenges\u201d including the imposition of lower customs rates on cars from the EU, Morocco, and Turkey than vehicles from other markets. \u201cThis trend is creating an environment that favors importation of more expensive and luxurious cars from EU countries over buying locally assembled cars and other more economic, fully imported products of non-EU origin. It is our view that these trends are unsustainable, and corrective measures are required to protect our national manufacturing know-how and capacities, as well as provide a level playing-field that would stabilize the market, improve foreign currency utilization and enhance customs revenues,\u201d GB Auto CEO Raouf Ghabbour said. Ghabbour also pointed to regulations constraining the three-wheeler segment, including caps imposed on the number of licenses for three-wheelers.<\/p>\n<p><b>Regulatory changes are coming, but are they enough?<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/07\/30\/cabinet-approves-final-customs-package-for-car-makers\/\">Sources told us last month<\/a> that the Madbouly Cabinet had approved legislative amendments to the Customs Act that would provide incentives to domestic manufacturers. The amendments would see manufacturers\u2019 effective customs rates reduced if they meet domestic component quotas. Nonetheless, even under these incentives \u2014 which could see their customs bill reduced to 15% from a current 40% in certain cases \u2014 local manufacturers would still find it hard to compete with imports from the EU that have a 0% customs rate. These incentives were created in place of <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/07\/30\/govt-plans-to-scrap-automotive-directive-and-will-replace-it-with-special-zones\/\">a previous package of incentives<\/a> (dubbed the automotive directive), which was long called for by local assemblers, who had hoped it would tip the scales before customs on EU cars fell to 0%.<\/p>\n<p><b>Egypt Kuwait Holding 2Q profit up 12% y-o-y:<\/b> Egypt Kuwait Holding (EKH) posted a net profit of USD 34.8 mn in 2Q2019, up 12% from USD 30.7 mn a year earlier, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2019\/8\/1935.pdf\">quarterly earnings release (pdf)<\/a>.
