The profit growth was driven by an increase in operating income by SAR 32 million due to low cost of revenue as well as general & administrative expenses, which resulted from the company's initiatives that contributed to improving the efficiency of operations and decreasing costs, including early retirement plan for employees.

 

GASCO also cited an increase in investments income by SAR 43 million, due to the growth in the dividends received from National Industrial Gases Co.

 

This was despite a decline in other income by SAR 6 million and increase in finance charges by SAR 3 million, as well as Zakat expense by SAR 2 million.
