SABIC reported a decline in total losses from discontinued operations in 2024 to SAR 3.52 billion, due to the fair value estimation of Saudi Iron and Steel Co. (Hadeed).
Operating income saw an increase of SAR 2.02 billion year-on-year (YoY), thanks to higher gross profit despite being partially offset by increased operating expenses.
Zakat expenses shrank YoY by SAR 1.06 billion due to the reversal of the Zakat expense provision in 2024, following updates to the relevant regulations.
On the other hand, the annual topline decreased by 1% YoY to SAR 139.98 billion, primarily on a drop in sales volumes despite an in increase in average product selling prices.
Similarly, financing income dropped by SAR 1.74 billion, mainly due to a reduction in gains from revaluation of equity-related financial derivatives.
