The company attributed the improved performance to the recognition of an impairment loss on property, equipment, and non-productive spare parts inventory in the printing segment during the same period of the previous year.
This was in addition to the downsizing of the printing segment’s operations, which resulted in lower costs, as well as softer finance costs following the partial settlement of some long-term loans for 9M 2025.
However, the nine-month revenues decreased due to the decline in revenues of the printing segment as a result of downsizing the segment’s operations. In addition, during the same period, the packaging segment reported a weaker topline due to the transfer of certain operations from the UAE to Saudi Arabia.
In Q3 2025, losses increased to SAR 40.5 million from SAR 37.7 million in Q3 2024, primarily due to lower revenues.
Sequentially, SPPC also widened losses from SAR 31.18 million in Q2 2025.
