The lower profit was due to a decline in revenues on lower product prices, as well as a fall in sales volumes due to the periodic turnaround maintenance activities of International Methanol Co. and International Diol Co.

 

In addition, the company's share of profits from investments in a joint venture and associates decreased.

In Q3 2023, the petrochemical producer posted a 70% drop in its net profit to SAR 233.1 million from SAR 774.41 million in Q3 2022.

Compared with the previous quarter, net profit fell by 25.5% from SAR 312.92 million, mainly due to lower product prices and a decline in the profit share from a joint venture and associates. 

 

Total shareholders’ equity, after minority interest, declined to SAR 15.90 billion by the end of the nine-month period, from SAR 16.40 billion a year earlier.
