Revenue increased to SAR 472 million for the second quarter of financial year 2024 (“Q2 2024”) from SAR 361 million for the second quarter of financial year 2023 (“Q2 2023”) as a result of the increase in volume mainly due to consolidating the results of Global Pipe Company (“GPC”) for the full quarter in Q2 2024, compared to consolidating the results of GPC for a portion of the quarter in Q2 2023 (as consolidation started on 17/5/2023).

The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is

Net profit of SAR 72 million for Q2 2024 compared to a net profit of SAR 87 million for Q2 2023 is mainly due to:

a) Recognition of a bargain purchase gain amounting to SAR 40 million in Q2 2023 as a result of acquiring an additional 22.27% interest in GPC.

The above effect was partially offset by:

b) An increase in gross profit to SAR 105 million in Q2 2024 from SAR 93 million in Q2 2023 as a result of the increase in volume mainly due to consolidating the results of GPC for the full quarter in Q2 2024 compared to consolidating its results from 17/5/2023 in Q2 2023.

c) Recording a loss on de-recognition of previously held interest in an affiliate amounting to SAR 10 million in Q2 2023.

a) Net zakat and tax expense increased to SAR 7 million in Q2 2024 from SAR 4 million in Q1 2024.

b) Gross profit decreased to SAR 105 million in Q2 2024 from SAR 107 million in Q1 2024, due to a decrease in volume.

a) Gross profit increased to SAR 212 million in 6M 2024 from SAR 116 million in 6M 2023, mainly as a result of the increase in volume driven by consolidating the results of GPC for the full period in 6M 2024 compared to consolidating its results from 17/5/2023 in 6M 2023, and to the improved efficiency and mix of products sold.

b) Recording a loss on de-recognition of previously held interest in an affiliate amounting to SAR 10 million in 6M 2023.

The above listed positive effects were partially offset by:

c) Recognition of a bargain purchase gain amounting to SAR 40 million in 6M 2023 as a result of acquiring an additional 22.27% interest in GPC.

d) An increase of administrative expenses to SAR 24 million in 6M 2024 from SAR 15 million in 6M 2023 that resulted mainly from consolidating the results of GPC for the full period in 6M 2024.
