Kuwait Food Co (Americana) posted a 31 per cent rise in second-quarter net profit on Monday. The operator of restaurant franchises in the Middle East, including KFC, made a net profit of 9.03 million dinars ($29.91 million; Dh109.8 million) in the three-month period ending June 30, up from 6.88 million dinars in the prior-year period, it said in a bourse statement. The company did not provide any reason for the increase in profit. It said that operating profit declined due to the seasonality of Ramadan. Americana's major shareholder, Kuwait's billionaire Al Kharafi family, on June 18 signed an agreement to sell their 69 per cent holding to Adeptio Group, an investment group led by prominent Dubai businessman Mohammad Alabbar.
