Q2 2020 net profit after Zakat and tax climbed 11% YoY to SAR 643.9 million, driven by revenue growth from foods, long-life dairy and poultry and higher gross profit. Finance costs were down by SAR 19 million as benefits of lower interest rate and lower debt levels were partially offset by decreased capitalization of funding cost on capex program.

 

When compared to the previous quarter, the Saudi dairy producer’s net profit surged 68.1%, buoyed by seasonality of sales.
