The positive performance was driven by higher base oil crack margins and lower Zakat and income tax expenses as the company became subjected to Zakat following its listing.
This came despite the lower quantities sold.
Sequentially, the company’s net profit fell 41.6% from SAR 763.19 million in Q4 2022 on reversal of all deferred tax liabilities in Q4 2022 arising from Saudi Aramco’s shareholding in Luberef, as the latter is no longer subjected to income tax but rather is subjected to Zakat.
Meanwhile, base oil crack margins decreased during the current quarter compared to the previous quarter.
Total shareholders’ equity, no minority interest, stood at SAR 5.53 billion as of March 31, 2023, compared to SAR 4.54 billion a year earlier.
