The annual profit growth was driven by an 11% year-on-year (YoY) increase in sales, mainly due to higher commodity market prices of all products, except for ammonia and flat rolled products. This was in addition to higher sales volume of all products, except ammonia and alumina.

 

The company also posted lower material costs and depreciation expenses, besides realizing the impact of the one-off industrial utility charges in the prior year.

 

Gross profit grew by 34% YoY for 2024, which was partially offset by a one-off non-cash impairment charge against capital assets of rolling mill (as part of Maaden Rolling Co.) and goodwill attributable to Meridian Consolidated Investments Ltd, Maaden's fertilizer distribution network in Africa, amounting to SAR 1.28 billion and SAR 159 million, respectively.

 

Additionally, a SAR 563 million insurance claim for relining of pots within smelter plants was redeemed, along with a one-off severance charge worth SAR 192 million during the prior year, supported by increased profitability in 2024.
 

However, this net profit growth was partially offset by higher finance costs, lower share in net profit of joint ventures, and elevated operating expenses including allowance for expected credit losses.
