The lower profit was attributed to the recognition of a modification gain of SAR 1.05 billion from debt reprofiling during the previous year, in addition to lower average selling prices despite the higher sales volume.

 

The decrease is also due to higher production costs, resulting from higher feedstock prices year-on-year (YoY).

 

The company’s second-quarter net profit after Zakat and tax declined 62% to SAR 229.2 million, from SAR 606.3 million in Q2 2021.

 

Compared to the previous quarter, net profit after Zakat and tax saw a four-fold increase from SAR 45.9 million.
