Earnings Per Share before unusual items 2.24 1.82 (18.6 %)
EPS (Riyals) 2.24 1.67 (25.7 %)

The profit decline was attributed to the higher precast cost of sales and higher general, administrative and selling expenses.

 

This is in addition to the lower share in net profit from associates, higher financing costs and other expenses as well as realizing an impairment of investment in an associate.

 

The cement producer reported an increase of 58% in net profit of SAR 52.78 million in Q4 2022 from SAR 33.39 million in the year-ago period. 

 

Sequentially, the company’s net profit almost tripled from SAR 18.55 million in Q3 2022.
