Saudi Paper Manufacturing Co.'s (SPM) net profit after Zakat and tax fell to SAR 13.3 million in Q1 2022, down 5% from SAR 14.1 million in the prior-year period.
The profit decline resulted from rising raw material costs, escalating domestic and global shipping costs, along with increased selling and administrative expenses due to higher sales and incremental administrative and financing expenses.
This drop was offset by a significant increase in revenues, resulting in higher gross profit.
