Saudi food company Halwani Brothers has posted a 32 percent rise in second-quarter profit thanks to rising sales and operating profit.

Halwani made a net profit of 11.9 million riyals ($3.17 million) in the three months to June 30, compared with 9 million riyals a year earlier, the firm said in a statement on the Saudi bourse website on Sunday.

Halwani attributed the rise to operating profit rising 31.7 percent.

Last month the company announced plans to spend up to 250 million riyals ($66.7 million) to double to 10 percent its annual sales growth from 2011.
