The profit growth was driven by an increase in revenue from gas sales by SAR 74 million, due to a rise in gas prices and sales volume. In addition, sales of empty cylinders grew by SAR 7 million year-on-year (YoY), and revenues from commercial projects leapt by SAR 6 million.
The company also reported an increase in revenues from other services by SAR 2 million, as well as an increase in sales of scrap and spare parts by SAR 3 million.
However, this was offset by an increase in operating expenses by SAR 6 million and a decrease in share of results of associates by SAR 2 million.
The first-quarter net profit jumped 84.5% from SAR 42.60 million in Q4 2023, as sales revenue rose while Zakat and operating expenses declined.
Shareholders’ equity, after minority interest, increased to SAR 1.93 billion as of March 31, 2024, from SAR 1.87 billion a year earlier.
