The annual net earnings were hurt by the higher cost of sales, Zakat charges, as well as selling and distribution expenses.

 

On the other hand, sales revenue increased on a year-on-year (YoY) basis, thanks to better sales volumes and average selling price.

 

Compared to Q4 2023, the cement producer’s net profit saw a spike of 364.2% from SAR 3.23 million. The surge was buoyed by higher sales on better average selling prices.

 

Hail Cement also reported a decline in general and administrative expenses.

 

Total shareholders’ equity, no minority interest, decreased to SAR 981.13 million as of March 31, 2024, from SAR 1.07 billion a year earlier.
