Saudi Arabian Fertilizers Co. (SAFCO) posted a net profit of SAR 237.2 million in Q1 2018, a drop of 43.9 percent year-on-year (YoY), on the back of higher costs due to the company’s restructuring. 

 

The company’s lower profit share from Ibn Al Baytar along with increased depreciation costs also weighed on the results.

The first-quarter profit more than tripled when compared to Q4 2017, backed by a rise in sales volumes as the company has accomplished the turnaround for SAFCO 4 in the previous quarter to perform the reliability project.
