Compared With The
Item Q1 2022 Q1 2023 Change‬
Revenues 866.31 626.87 (27.6 %)
Gross Income 210.80 101.69 (51.8 %)
Operating Income 181.94 64.42 (64.6 %)
Net Income 164.35 42.69 (74.0 %)
Average Shares 260.00 260.00 -
EPS (Riyals) 0.63 0.16 (74.0 %)

The company attributed the year-on-year (YoY) profit decline to a 27% decrease in sales prices and 6% lower sales volumes, in addition to the deepened loss share from SK Advanced Co. by SAR 7 million.  

  

Meanwhile, propane and propylene purchase prices decreased by 15% and 21% YoY, respectively. Moreover, shipping costs were 73% down.  

 

On a Quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) basis, the petrochemical producer recognized a profit versus a net loss of SAR 6.41 million, thanks to 7% higher sales prices, and a SAR 24 million decline in SK Advanced loss share, as well as a 31% fall in shipping costs.  

  

This came despite a 5% decline in sales volume and a 6% rise in propane and propylene purchase prices.  

 

Shareholders' equity, excluding minority interest, declined to SAR 3.11 billion by the end of Q1 2023, from SAR 3.87 billion in Q1 2022.

 

In Q1 2023, total comprehensive income amounted to SAR 20 million, compared to SAR 279 million YoY, and SAR 2 million QoQ.

 

Q1 2023 net profit includes an amount of SAR 22 million, a share of losses from investment in SK Advanced, South Korea, compared to losses YoY and QoQ of SAR 15 million and SAR 46 million, respectively.

 

The change in other comprehensive income is mainly due to unrealized gains/losses on equity investments carried at fair value.
