In Q3 2022, the company trimmed net losses after Zakat and tax to SAR 1.7 million, from SAR 11.58 million a year earlier, as sales jumped 37% year-on-year (YoY), along with improved profit margin from a better product mix. It also reported better utilization of production capacity and production rates, which pushed cost per unti lower. In addition, prices of polypropylene decreased.
In Q2 2022, Naseej reported a net profit of SAR 5.51 million. The quarterly losses were attributed to an 11% drop in sales, amid a slowdown in consumer activity, in addition to inflationary pressures that significantly affected spending on consumer goods in general. Naseej also allocated a provision of SAR 4.5 million for Zakat assessments for previous years.
