The annual profit rise was driven by a year-on-year (YoY) revenue increase of SAR 1.16 billion (16%) in Q1 2025. This was mainly due to higher selling prices for all products for the same quarter, paired with elevated sales volumes of all products except for primary aluminium and gold.
Further, the first-quarter gross profit jumped YoY by SAR 778 million (32%). Maaden also realized an increased share of net income from joint ventures and an associate, reduced finance costs, and lower net Zakat expenses, income taxes and franchise fees for the same period.
However, the annual profit hike was capped by higher operating expenses and weaker financing income for the first three months of this year.
Sequentially, Maaden turned to profits from a net loss of SAR 105.64 million in Q4 2024, despite the 15% quarterly drop in the first-quarter revenues.
Total shareholders’ equity, after minority interest, reached SAR 53.27 billion as of March 31, 2025, compared to SAR 47.37 billion in the corresponding period of 2024.
