The earnings rise was driven by a 16.7% year-on-year (YoY) increase in revenue to SAR 82 million on a rise in the company’s sales volumes and average selling prices.
On the other hand, the average selling cost increased due to higher fuel prices.
On a sequential basis, the cement producer’s net profit fell by 69.2% from SAR 40.4 million in Q4 2023. Al Jouf Cement was hurt by a quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) decline of 2% in topline amid lower sales volumes.
The company also reversed some provisions in Q4 2023.
Total shareholders’ equity, after minority interest, grew to SAR 1.23 billion as of March 31, 2024, from SAR 1.14 billion in the corresponding period a year ago.
