Net income in the three months to September 30 fell to 26.5 million dinars ($94.24 million), according to Reuters calculations from a KFH statement.

That compared with 34.3 million dinars in the same period a year ago.

Analysts surveyed by Reuters had expected KFH's third quarter net profit to range between 40 million and 48 million dinars. - Reuters
