The composition of revenues showed that 57.8 percent came from the sale of products, goods, and services, and 38.6 percent from goods for resale and materials. Financial revenues represented 2.0 percent. Costs were dominated by products and materials sold, accounting for 96.7 percent of total expenditure.
