Petrochemicals, metals and fertiliser producer Industries Qatar posted a 1.6 percent drop in third-quarter net profit, according to Reuters calculations, in line with forecasts, as sales fell and performance was hurt by weak fertiliser prices and tightened operating margins.

The Middle East's second-biggest petrochemicals company said its operational and financial outlook was expected to improve further with efforts to controls costs.

It reported on Monday a net profit of 747.8 million riyals ($198.6 million) in the three months ending Sept. 30, Reuters calculated based on nine-month financial statements in lieu of a quarterly breakdown.

This compares with the 759.8 million riyals it posted in the corresponding period of last year, while the average forecast of three analysts polled by Reuters was for a quarterly net profit of 730.8 million riyals. Industries Qatar did not say whether the results had been affected by economic sanctions imposed by other Arab states on June 5, when Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt cut diplomatic and transport ties with Qatar, accusing it of backing terrorism, a charge Doha denies.

Since June, Qatar has arranged new shipping routes to minimise the impact of the rift on imports and exports.
