JAZADCO H1 2022 profit soars to SAR 28.3 mln, Q2 at SAR 24.6 mln on sale of assets

Jazan Energy and Development Co. (JAZADCO) reported an over twofold rise in H1 2022 net profit after Zakat and tax to SAR 28.3 million, from SAR 9.9 million a year earlier.

The strong performance was spurred by a 3% year-on-year (YoY) increase in the value of sales, due to better sales of the commercial segments and real estate investments, as well as fruit sales.

The company also recognized a profit of SAR 31 million from the sale of a fixed asset, Khabat Al Falaq land plot in Jazan, despite a decrease in total profit by 44%.

On the other hand, vital assets were not evaluated as of June 30, 2022, due to the shrimp farming cycle because the feed did not arrive on time in light of the repercussions of the Russian-Ukrainian war that affected global supply chains.

JAZADCO recognized a profit of SAR 31 million from the sale of Khabat Al Falaq land plot in Jazan.

On a quarterly basis, net income skyrocketed 591.6% from SAR 3.56 million.

Shareholder’s equity, after minority interest, stood at SAR 572.576 million at the end of H1 2022, up from SAR 534.250 million a year earlier.
