MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's leading paper products company Kimberly-Clark de Mexico (Kimber) said on Thursday its first-quarter net profit fell 10 percent, in part hurt by rising costs of raw materials and energy.

Kimber (KIMBERA.MX: Quote, Profile, Research) earned 844 million pesos ($79 million) in the January-March period compared with 939 million pesos in the same year-ago quarter.

($1 = 10.6420 at end March)
