Item 6m 2022 6m 2023 Change‬
Revenues 340.98 419.46 23.0 %
Gross Income 89.60 116.31 29.8 %
Operating Income 25.51 50.05 96.2 %

Average Shares 32.04 37.07 15.7 %
EPS (Riyals) 1.07 0.80 (25.3 %)

The profit decline was attributed to recognizing a capital gain of SAR 19 million from the sale of one of its owned lands in H1 2022, in addition to higher financing expenses in H1 2023 due to an increase in financing costs locally and globally.

 

However, sales volume rose by 23% year-on-year (YoY) due to higher sales of jumbo rolls and converted products. Gross profit and operating profit grew by 96% YoY, after the new production line of jumbo rolls became operational in April 2023. Production capacity increased by 31% despite a  slight increase in fixed production costs.

 

The company’s net profit rose slightly by 0.4% to SAR 21.2 million in Q2 2023 from SAR 21.06 million a year earlier.

 

On a quarterly basis, net earnings jumped 147.5% from SAR 8.5 million on improved gross profit as a new production line of jumbo rolls became operational in April 2023.
