This pullback was attributed to an SAR 3.3 million increase in overhead, general and administrative expenses as the company entered into a new investment.
In addition, Obeikan Glass bore a share of the founding costs and pre-operational expenses for its investment in subsidiary Saudi Aluminum Casting Foundry Co., given the accounting treatment of this investment.
The Saudi-listed glass producer also cited a SAR 1.2 million year-on-year (YoY) increase in the expected credit loss (ECL) provision due to the aged balances with a related party, Obeikan AGC LLC.
However, the first-quarter revenues surged YoY due to a slight rise in sales volumes for the same period.
Shareholders’ equity, after minority interest, fell to SAR 541.75 million as of March 31, 2025, from SAR 548.58 million a year earlier.
