This was attributed to higher sales volumes and value for the current quarter on increased average selling prices.

 

On a quarterly basis, the three-month net earnings also rose 25.4% from SAR 41.09 million in Q4 2024, driven by the elevated average selling prices and other income.

 

The quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) profit growth came despite lower sales value and volumes on a sequential basis for Q1 2025.

 

Shareholders’ equity, no minority interest, reached SAR 1.84 billion by March 31, 2025, compared to SAR 1.76 billion in the prior-year period.
