The profit rise was buoyed by an increase in sales revenue year-on-year (YoY), driven by a rise in total sales volumes and an increase in the average selling price. In addition, other revenues increased coupled with an increase in the company’s share of net profits from an associate company.
On the other hand, selling and distribution expenses increased, along with a decline in profit from the sale of an investment in a subsidiary.
The cement producer's Q3 2024 earnings rose by 46.7% YoY from SAR 68.3 million to SAR 100.2 million, thanks to higher sales revenue due to the increase in sales volumes and an increase in the average selling price.
Compared to Q2 2024, net profit edged up by 14.7% from SAR 87.35 million.
