Item 2024 2025 Change‬
Revenues 1,344.48 1,406.38 4.6 %
Gross Income 240.06 197.71 (17.6 %)
Operating Income 145.87 88.96 (39.0 %)

Earnings Per Share before unusual items (Riyals) 2.43 1.67 (31.3 %)
EPS (Riyal) 3.12 1.98 (36.5 %)

The year-on-year (YoY) profit decline was attributed to higher prices of raw materials, mainly paper, in the local and international markets, which resulted in an elevated cost of revenue.

 

However, this was partly offset by increased sales volumes in the corrugated & folding carton (duplex) segments and higher finance income from short-term deposits in 2025, compared to last year.

 

The 2024 results were also buoyed by a one-off bargain purchase gain of SAR 11.24 million on that year’s takeover of its UAE-based subsidiary, Ras Al Khaimah Packaging, which essentially lifted UCIC’s 2024 bottomline.
