Eastern Province Cement Co. (EPCCO)

Eastern Province Cement Co. reported a net profit of SAR 17 million for the first quarter of 2018, a 66 percent year-on-year decline on lower sales of cement and ready concrete due to lower demand.

 

The company also attributed the decline to lower profit share from affiliates, lower other income, higher zakat and other expenses.

When compared to previous quarter, net profit more than doubled due to lower general and administrative expenses and higher operating profit driven by an increase in investment income, higher net profit from affiliates and higher other income.
