The profit decline is attributed to lower net profits of the metal, wood and plastic industries segment, mainly due to the decrease in average selling prices, which led to a drop in the profit margin.
The company recorded an increase in the finance cost due to the increase in the cost of borrowing associated with the increase in SAIBOR rates, in addition to realizing loss from discontinued operations related to the concrete industries segment, which amounted to SAR 2.5 million. In addition, operational expenses edged higher.
This was partially offset by a year-on-year (YoY) increase in net profit of the electrical industries segment, higher income from investment in financial assets at fair value and lower Zakat expenses.
