The paper manufacturer cited a significant increase in sales and gross profit. It also recorded capital gains from selling one of its owned lands, despite the global supply chain challenges that have exacerbated in the current period and the shortage in the supply of pulp in global markets. This led to an unprecedented rise in pulp prices and the company made great efforts to fulfill the local market needs of paper hard-rolls and finished products.

 

The second-quarter net profit after Zakat and tax climbed 39% to SAR 21.1 million, compared to SAR 15.1 million in Q2 2021. The profit growth was spurred by better sales and the capital gains arising from SPM’s sale of one of its land plots, despite the global supply chain challenges that exacerbated in the current quarter and the shortage of pulp in global markets. This, in turn, led to an unprecedented rise in pulp prices and the company made great efforts to fulfill the local market needs of paper hard-rolls and finished products.
