Average Shares 67.45 67.45 -
EPS (Riyals) (0.88) (0.78) 11.0 %

The decline in the first-half losses was attributed to a 16% rise year-on-year (YoY) in sales volumes and a 21% drop in the average prices of raw materials despite, a 40% leap in natural gas prices in early 2024.

 

This was offset by lower revenue on a 19% fall in average selling prices.

 

In the second quarter, the company slid into a deeper loss of SAR 28.2 million, compared to SAR 10.19 million in Q2 2023. Revenue shrank due to an 8% YoY drop in average selling prices.

 

Sales volumes also decreased by 3%. Natural gas prices also increased by 40% YoY earlier this year.
