The Saudi-listed natural gas producer attributed the modest profit growth to higher revenues on an increase in natural gas selling prices. This came despite an 11% annual decline in customer consumption of natural gas.
The company also cited higher operating profits from the operation and maintenance project for the natural gas network in King Abdullah Economic City, paired with revenues generated from investing in a joint venture using the equity method. This was in addition to a lower Zakat provision.

The six-month net earnings leapt 52.6% from SAR 1.49 million in H1 2024.
