Middle East Specialized Cables Co. (MESC) reported a net loss of SAR 9.35 million for the first quarter of 2018, compared to a net profit of SAR 3.86 million in the same period last year, due to a decrease in sales volumes amid weak market demand and tough competition.

 

The company has also started to adopt IFRS9 related to impairment loss of receivables and other financial assets during the current quarter.

MESC turned to a net loss from a profit of SAR 8.03 million the previous quarter, attributed to releasing doubtful debt provision for some customers following the collection of overdue receivables during the last quarter.

 

The Saudi company also cited releasing the provision for investment losses for its subsidiary, MESC for Medium and High Voltage Cables Company, after a decision by the company’s extraordinary general assembly to liquidate it.
