The company attributed the shift to profit to lower general, administrative, and Zakat expenses, in addition to achieving profits from financial investments at fair value and high returns on Murabaha deposits during the current period.

 

This is despite the decrease in quantity and value of sales during the current period compared to the same period of the previous year.

 

The cement producer reported a net profit of SAR 5.98 million in Q2 2023, compared to a loss of SAR 6.83 million in Q2 2022.

 

Net profit fell 67.7% from SAR 18.5 million in Q1 2023 as quantity and value of sales declined due to the decrease in demand and the coincidence of the current quarter with the holy month of Ramadan and the holidays, in addition to the increase in the cost of sales.
