The losses were attributed to a stagnation in global demand for chemicals, which weighed on average selling prices. Accordingly, sales value dropped by SAR 37 billion year-on-year (YoY). 

 

SABIC reported a decline of SAR 3.64 billion YoY in its profit share from joint ventures and associates, primarily due to a decrease in sales volumes and selling prices.

 

Moreover, the company recorded SAR 2.93 billion non-cash losses on the Public Investment Fund’s acquisition of SABIC’s entire stake in the Saudi Iron and Steel Co. (Hadeed), which was previously announced.

 

This deal will enable SABIC to focus on its strategic business portfolio, to maintain its leadership competitiveness and prepare the company for a new era of growth in the field of petrochemicals.
