The decline in profit was due to lower earnings from the group’s investments in joint ventures (S-Chem) during the quarter. This was attributed to lower selling prices and higher feedstock and energy costs.
However, sales volumes improved in Q1 2025, as the comparable quarter last year included a scheduled maintenance shutdown.
On the other hand, Zakat expenses decreased during the current quarter and returns from Islamic Murabaha investments increased.
On a quarterly basis, net earnings soared 59.9% from SAR 11.26 million in Q4 2024, boosted by higher profits from SIIG’s investments in S-Chem. This resulted from the unplanned shutdown in the previous quarter of the “Saudi Polymers Company” project, in addition to improved selling prices for styrene and a rise in sales volumes in Q1 2025.
In addition, general and administrative (G&A) expenses declined during the current quarter.
Total shareholders’ equity, no minority interest, declined to SAR 9.85 billion as of March 31, 2025, from SAR 10.05 billion a year earlier.
