The company attributed the drop in H1 2025 earnings to lower profit margins from raw material price fluctuations, as well as other losses of SAR 8.8 million from foreign exchange differences. It added that H1 2024 results included higher other income by SAR 3.7 million.
These factors were partly offset by higher revenue from increased sales of downstream products.
