Financials (M)

Item 2023 2024 Change‬
Revenues 727.97 710.52 (2.4 %)
Gross Income 9.39 96.22 925.1 %
Operating Income (146.21) (244.65) (67.3 %)
Net Income (177.80) (272.30) (53.1 %)
Average Shares 67.45 67.45 -
Earnings Per Share before unusual items (Riyals) (2.64) (2.15) 18.3 %
EPS (Riyals) (2.64) (4.04) (53.1 %)

This was attributed to lower revenues on a significant decline in the average selling prices of major products by 14%. However, the company reported an increase in selling quantities by 13% over the same period.

 

Chemanol also cited higher prices of methane used as a feedstock at the beginning of 2024.

 

The group’s losses increased significantly as a result of the acquisition of Aldar Chemicals and Chemical Industries Co. during 2024. Their poor financial performance and lack of future cash flow forecasts led to the full write-down of goodwill amounting to SAR 127 million as of Dec. 31, 2024, further complicating the financial challenges facing Chemanol.

 

Despite these factors, Chemanol, as the parent company, achieved a significant improvement in reducing its operational losses by 11% compared to the previous year, demonstrating improved performance independent of the group results.
