The nine-month losses were attributed to a decrease in the average selling prices of products and sales volume due to the scheduled periodic maintenance of some plants that were previously announced on Jan. 18, 2023.
This was in addition to an increase in financing costs and a provision of SAR 75 million for property, plants and equipment that were affected by the fire accident in the operating unit of the bisphenol plant. On the other hand, the company recorded a decrease in the average feedstock cost.
