Savola Group reported a net profit after zakat and tax of SAR 475.6 million for the fiscal year 2019, against a net loss of SAR 520.4 million a year earlier, driven by higher gross profit amid improved sales and margins.

The annual figures were also bolstered by lower operating costs and a reversal of zakat and tax provision for prior years’ assessments.
