Saudi Arabian Fertilizers Co. (SAFCO) posted a net profit of SAR 816 million in the first nine months of 2017, a growth of 6.3 percent year-on-year (YoY), mainly attributed to higher selling prices for the company's urea products, and a decline in the cost of goods sold.

 

The company’s profit was also driven by its higher profit share in Ibn Al-Baytar Co.

The fertilizer producer’s net profit for the third quarter edged up 1.2 percent YoY to SAR 188.4 million due to higher selling prices and sales volumes.

 

The Q3 profit, however, decreased by 8 percent compared with the previous quarter, on the back of lower sales volumes and lower ammonia prices.
