| Item | 2022 | 2023 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenues | 40,277.12 | 29,271.93 | (27.3 %) |
| Gross Income | 16,248.95 | 6,914.41 | (57.4 %) |
| Operating Income | 13,536.81 | 3,816.16 | (71.8 %) |
| Net Income | 9,319.05 | 1,577.33 | (83.1 %) |
| Average Shares | 3,691.77 | 3,691.77 | - |
| EPS (Riyals) | 2.52 | 0.43 | (83.1 %) |
The profit-drop came as sales decreased by 27% year-on-year (YoY), or by SAR 11 billion, as commodity prices declined for all products except gold. However, higher sales volumes of ammonia phosphate fertilizer, alumina and gold supported net earnings.
Meanwhile, gross profit fell 57% YoY, or by SAR 9.3 billion, on lower sales. Higher finance costs due to increased borrowing rates and lower share of profit from joint ventures affected the net profit.
This was partially offset by lower raw material prices, higher income from time deposit and a decrease in income taxes and Zakat.
