Mr.Ashraf Hamed Sherif, Vice Chairman Comments:
I am delighted to share with you our results for the full year of 2022. Despite an ongoing global
economic crisis and a severe shortage of US Dollars in the local market, Obour Land continued to deliver
impressive results and expand its market share while maintaining strong profitability margins and a
healthy cash flow.
The company faced great difficulties in sourcing the raw materials since March 2022 due to
shortages in the US dollar supply, which continued till the end of the year and exposed our inventory
levels. However, the management used all the different tools and strategies available to purchase the
raw materials to continue production and meet the demand for our products.
Starting January 2023, we saw a massive improvement in US Dollar availability in the banks and
we started building back our inventory to safe levels. We expect challenges may continue in 2023 but
with less severity than what we witnessed in 2022.
Overview of Segment Performance:
Despite the challenges, the white cheese segment recorded an impressive 55% increase in gross
revenues, recording 4,272.2mn compared to 2,764.5mn. The increase in revenues came as a result of a
14% increase in sales volumes, reaching 123.2k tons, which we believe reflects a sharp increase in
Obour Land’s market share in 2022. The increase in revenues was also backed by a 36% increase in
average prices to maintain our profitability margins and offset the increasing costs of sales due to high
raw material prices and the US Dollar exchange rate.
The Milk and Juice segments have generated gross revenues of EGP 213mn and 65mn respectively
in FY22. The milk segment witnessed slow performance throughout the year as sales volumes declined
19% in 2022 while revenues increased by 11%. The decline in sales volumes was expected by the
management due to the great challenges facing the markets, which affected smaller players in different
markets; however, the management expects the milk segment to improve in 2023 as the markets
stabilize.

On the other hand, the Juice segment saw a boost in sales revenues and volumes sold, 76% and
93% respectively. The surge in the juice segment was a result of the company’s new brand “Lovely”
which was introduced at the beginning of the year and helped to reach new consumer segments. The
management expects the juice segment to continue this strong performance in 2023.
The processed cheese segment witnessed a slow performance in 2022 with a flat revenue growth
of EGP 30mn in FY22 while sales volumes declined 25%. The decrease in sales volumes was due to the
contraction in the processed cheese market as a whole, mainly the glass jar product, as a result of its
relatively high price levels. The management expects the 50mg “Mafrooda” product to perform better
than the glass jar in 2023 as the processed cheese market may shift to cheaper products.
Obour Land’s management is encouraged by the solid performance we have delivered overall,
and we are optimistic about the company’s growth prospects and its ability to navigate through crises,
which has been proven several times.
Our commitment to excellence and aspirations to offer the highest-possible quality of products,
which are both affordable and safe, remains our key prime focus and our relentless driver for our
expansionary attitude.
