Saudi Aramco’s financial results showed that its net profit attributable to shareholders rose during the current quarter to 120.13 billion riyals, compared to 95.68 billion riyals in the same period of the previous year, with a growth of 25.55%, driven by higher revenues and sales. This was partially offset by higher operating costs and higher income tax and zakat.
Operating profit also increased to SAR 222.54 billion, compared to SAR 191.36 billion in the same quarter of last year, an increase of 16.29%.
The company recorded revenues of 433.1 billion riyals during the current quarter, compared to 405.65 billion riyals in the same period last year.
The company attributed the increase in revenues primarily to higher prices and sales volumes of refined and chemical products, as well as higher crude oil sales volumes and crude oil prices.
